In an era where cyber threats evolve faster than our ability to compute solutions, resilience, not perfection, is the key to effective cybersecurity and acceptance that computational complexity is growing beyond human and machine limits. Cyber threat prevention is often framed as a problem of optimization, one where defenders strive to impose control over chaotic […]

Some time ago I wrote about the challenges (AI Regulation – Like Platting Fog!) The West has with Artificial Intelligence (AI) development with its greater respect for privacy and more robust regulatory data governance versus China for example. AI Regulation – Like Platting Fog! | Nigel Gibbons ~ Welcomes you This should not be misinterpreted as […]

Cybersecurity maturity models like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls etc have become industry staples. These frameworks provide a valuable blueprint for control implementation, audit readiness, and benchmarking progress. But they’re also inherently static and checklist-driven, an approach that often lags behind the real-time, evolving and dynamic nature of today’s threat landscape. By contrast, the […]

To all you good people of the modern surveillance state, that which you are more familiar with in its curated form as ‘the information age’! This missive is addressed to honour our unsung hero: publicly available data, the ultimate gift that keeps on giving… to cybercriminals. Imagine a world where you can impersonate someone using […]

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 […]

In today’s fast-evolving cyberthreat landscape, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) face a very modern decision in shaping their cybersecurity strategies. The explosion of cyber risks, coupled with the expanding complexity of digital estates, has created a scenario where security teams are overwhelmed with managing multiple tools, each targeting a specific threat. Traditionally, the “best-of-breed” approach, […]

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, […]

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Industrial Control Systems (ICS) brings immense benefits but also significant accountability challenges. AI for industrial control systems refers to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to enhance the performance, efficiency and reliability of industrial automation and production systems. AI solutions can be applied to various aspects of […]

Industry Regulations and Resilience is one of the primary drivers for the adoption of multi-cloud strategies. Various industries, such as finance, telecoms, healthcare and government sectors, are subject to stringent regulations that mandate robust data protection and disaster recovery measures. For instance, financial institutions must comply with regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) […]

The debate on AI regulation involves complex considerations of ethics, technology, economics, and policy. Proponents argue regulation ensures ethical AI use, protects privacy and security, prevents monopolies, guarantees public safety, and establishes accountability. Critics, however, warn it may stifle innovation, disadvantage countries in global competition, risk regulatory capture, struggle with AI’s rapid evolution, and face […]
