Frontline lessons: What cybersecurity leaders can learn from attacks

In cybersecurity, confidence can be a liability. I’ve seen organizations of all sizes assume they’re safe — until an attack proves otherwise.

Cyber resilience isn’t about checking boxes — it’s about whether your business can survive, recover,…

The Quantum Sky Is Falling! Understanding the Quantum Threat to Network Security

Confidentiality is a fundamental pillar of information security. In sensitive deployments, such as those involving federal governments, military and defense agencies, and large financial institutions, the demand for confidentiality extends well beyond the typical 5 to 10 years, often reaching 20 years or more. The same also applies to telecom operators and enterprises providing services to any of these critical agencies. With the existing classical computers, this requirement of forward secrecy for encryption could be…

Only 5% of business leaders report seamless connectivity

A survey of 500 enterprise leaders across six countries (United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Canada and Australia) highlights the relationship between connectivity and cybersecurity. The research asserts that better connectivity improves an organization’s chances of defending against cyberattacks, as 38% of organizations with excellent connectivity are among industry leaders for cybersecurity performance. When an organization has good connectivity, only 22% are considered industry leaders.  However, only 5% of business leaders report seamless connectivity across…

These days, everyone knows the importance of backing up their data. Everything needs to be backed up — from a laptop to the cloud platform on which many businesses rely. It feels fairly simple.  Unfortunately, with bad actors finding new ways to attack businesses every day, nothing is ever that easy. Threat actors know good backups are the cheat code to not paying the ransomware, giving victims the ability to rewind the clock to before…

European Cyber Resilience: How the EU Can Patch the Weak Spots in its Collective Armour

In the thrust and parry of cyber resilience, the European Union (EU) has forged a legal framework made of many pieces to fortify its digital defences.

In this blog, I delve into these two crucial issues for EU policymakers…
