Cyber attacks against the energy sector are no longer confined to data theft, ransomware demands or disrupted office systems. Attackers are increasingly targeting the...

Recent cyber attacks against major retailers have disrupted online sales, delayed deliveries, affected product availability, exposed customer information and forced businesses to take critical systems offline. For organisations operating at scale, even a relatively short interruption can have significant financial and operational consequences.

AI is changing cyberattacks. It can accelerate reconnaissance, help attackers analyse potential vulnerabilities, improve phishing campaigns, create convincing synthetic identities and process huge amounts of information considerably faster than a human attacker could alone. But there is an important point at risk of being lost amid all the talk about AI-powered cyber threats.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a cybersecurity service that goes beyond traditional monitoring to actively hunt for, detect, and neutralise threats across your network. For healthcare organisations, this means having a dedicated team of security analysts watching over clinical systems, patient data, and connected medical devices at all hours.

Saying that a third-party service provider is “PCI compliant” is not a conclusion; it is the starting point for further verification.

Cyber resilience depends on more than strong security tools. To defend effectively, organisations need to understand the threats they face, the adversaries behind them and the ways those adversaries may target their people, systems, data and brand. This is where cyber threat intelligence plays a critical role.

Threat intelligence services help organisations identify, understand and prioritise cyber threats before they become security incidents. By providing actionable insights into threat actors, vulnerabilities, data exposure, brand impersonation and fraud activity, threat intelligence enables CISOs and security teams to make better-informed cybersecurity decisions.

Most organisations have invested heavily in cybersecurity technology from multiple vendors, yet an expansive cybersecurity stack does not guarantee effective protection. Overlapping, disconnected or underused tools can overwhelm internal teams and limit visibility leaving them vulnerable to threat actors.

The European Commission’s Action Plan on Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence, published earlier this month, sets out how the EU intends to respond to the threats and opportunities presented by AI.

Vulnerability exploitation has overtaken stolen credentials as the leading initial access vector for breaches for the first time in 19 years. AI is one of the reasons why.

Artificial intelligence has become the defining technology story of the past two years. It dominates boardroom discussions, investor briefings, vendor messaging, product launches and conference agendas. Every sector is being told that AI will transform how it operates, competes and manages risk.Cybersecurity is no exception.
