Gartner: CISO’s balancing act as cyber debt and AI ambition collide
AI ambition is colliding with cyber debt, forcing CISOs to rethink technical debt, agentic AI, identity, governance, resilience and post-quantum preparation for 2027 and beyond.
Cybersecurity
AI dependency is the next cyber resilience risk
AI dependency is creating hidden concentration risk as organisations rely on shared models, cloud platforms and infrastructure, making resilience, optionality and exit planning increasingly critical.
The missing half of the AI security conversation
AI can uncover complex software vulnerabilities, but enterprise security demands deterministic testing, independent controls, continuous assurance and governance that AI reasoning alone cannot provide.
The AI offsec era is changing everything, except what actually matters
Daniel Bechenea explores how AI is reshaping offensive security while reliability, workflow complexity, human judgement and critical thinking remain essential to effective security work.
Why agentic security deserves its own category
Roey Eliyahu explains why agentic security must go beyond LLM protection, securing AI agents’ permissions, APIs, tools, identities and autonomous enterprise actions safely.
Don’t defend alone: Why the biggest threat to cyber resilience is still isolation
Cyber resilience depends on collaboration. Matthew Neville explains why shared threat intelligence must drive faster decisions, stronger defences and continuous operational learning across organisations.
Why speed alone no longer defines effective cyber recovery
Cyber recovery now demands more than speed. Mark Molyneux of Commvault explains why clean, trusted restoration and MTCR are essential to modern resilience strategies today.
Fixing the boardroom blind-spot: Security debt
Security debt is becoming a board-level risk. Sohail Iqbal explains how organisations can prioritise vulnerabilities, improve remediation capacity and strengthen long-term cyber resilience.
Why cyber resilience now depends on recovery
Cyber resilience increasingly depends on recovery, with offline backups, physical air gaps and modern 3-2-1-1-0 strategies helping organisations withstand sophisticated ransomware attacks and restore critical data.
Why identity, not passwords, is the future of security
Alex Laurie of Ping Identity explains why passkeys and identity-first security are replacing passwords as organisations defend against AI-powered identity attacks.
AI fraud is forcing enterprises to prove every critical communication
Richard Hall explains why enterprises need layered verification, content provenance and cryptographic assurance to protect critical communications from increasingly convincing AI-generated fraud threats at scale.
The strongest AI model will not win the cybersecurity race
AI alone will not secure organisations. Effective cyber defence depends on context, reliable data, human oversight and disciplined integration across security operations and decision-making processes.
Financial services has outgrown its security model
AI adoption is accelerating financial services, but outdated governance and legacy security models risk undermining resilience, trust and innovation across increasingly connected institutions worldwide today.
Invisible change: two years on from CrowdStrike, the risk was never the update
Two years after CrowdStrike’s outage, Kashif Nazir examines why invisible configuration drift, automated change and limited visibility remain the greater risks for IT teams today.
The top three priorities for modern CISOs
Modern CISOs must embrace AI-powered defence, secure inference pathways and unify infrastructure management to counter machine-speed threats while improving visibility, resilience and operational control capabilities.
Identity is becoming the UK’s most valuable digital asset, and its biggest security risk
Digital identity could transform UK public services, but stronger IAM, risk-based authentication and resilience are essential to protect citizens from identity-led cyberattacks.
The deepfake explosion: Why AI-driven fraud is a board level concern
Deepfake fraud is reshaping cyber risk. Organisations must protect decision-making processes, not just systems, as AI-enabled impersonation attacks rapidly increase in scale and sophistication.
Why operational resilience is becoming the frontline defence against ransomware
Operational resilience is redefining ransomware defence as organisations prioritise rapid recovery, business continuity and cyber readiness in response to increasingly disruptive AI-driven attacks.
Bridging today’s fragmented identity landscape and tomorrow’s decentralised future
Digital identity is evolving under EUDI regulation. Businesses must bridge centralised and decentralised systems while maintaining trust, security and seamless user verification across platforms.
The evolving risk of standard biometrics in the AI era
Biometrics face growing risk in the AI era as deepfakes rise, pushing organisations towards zero-knowledge architectures to protect identities and eliminate centralised data vulnerabilities critical.
