In cybersecurity and technology governance, we spend endless hours dissecting frameworks, controls and certifications. We argue over Zero Trust architectures, resilience models and assurance seals. Yet there is a much deeper, more uncomfortable layer to the story, one that no encryption algorithm or multi-factor authentication or audit can patch or detect. Our digital trust is […]

In today’s democracies, facts are no longer neutral. They have become weapons. A statistic pulled from context, a story exaggerated beyond proportion or a meme sharpened into a blade can now be deployed as artillery in political trench warfare. The battlefield is not foreign soil, it is our own timelines, group chats and dinner tables, […]

The trust theme in my last blog got me thinking about the pedestal Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being placed on. When Alan Turing proposed his famous Imitation Game in 1950, he asked a deceptively simple question, paraphrased as – “If a machine’s responses are indistinguishable from a human’s, should we call it intelligent?” For decades, […]

In the CISO role, the security landscape often feels like a moving target. But more subtly, it’s also a recursive system, where each well-intentioned solution replicates the original problem in more complex, granular forms. This phenomenon is what we call the Fractal Trap where in cybersecurity, some problems don’t get solved they evolve. Welcome to […]

The fantastical concept of Super Artificial Intelligence (AI), also known as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), envisions a machine that can surpass human capabilities in virtually every cognitive task. Emphasis on the word ‘virtually’ because, let’s be honest, the real kicker is that our super-intelligent robot overlords are still light-years away from true human perception. Sure, […]
