When an original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, remotely connects to a factory environment, it may diagnose equipment or configure a programmable logic controller. This connection creates a temporary pathway through the organisation’s security boundary. This access may be necessary to...
When a cyber incident strikes, technical containment is only one part of the response. In that situation, boards and executives must make regulatory, legal and communication decisions before the technical investigation is complete. The governance challenge is to act quickly...
As cybersecurity and compliance budgets come under increasing scrutiny, many SaaS companies believe that obtaining a SOC 2 report proves they are effectively compliant with PCI DSS as well. This belief often arises when a SaaS application accepts online payments,...
Cybernetic GI Security Bulletin provides a summary of new vulnerabilities that have been recorded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Vulnerability Database (NVD). The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) /...
Autonomous AI agents are moving beyond content generation into operational decision-making. They query customer databases, update records, interact with cloud infrastructure, call business APIs, and communicate with employees or third parties. This changes the enterprise risk model. Cyber risk is...
Insurance brokerages retain sensitive information such as policy schedules, claims histories, identity records, financial disclosures and correspondence. When historical data sits in forgotten servers, backup platforms, inherited systems or former branch environments, it creates a hidden attack surface. The key...
Risk committees often assume routers and firewalls are secure once deployed, patched, and logged in the risk register. But network devices are control points, not static assets, they drift from approved baselines through firmware age, legacy services, exposed management interfaces,...
Temporary vendor access becomes a governance risk when no one remains accountable for its continued use. Aviation organisations depend on maintenance providers, ground-handling companies, software suppliers and specialist engineers to support complex operational environments. These relationships require external access to...
Treating corporate defence as a discretionary cyber security expense rather than a core operational baseline creates an unacceptable structural liability for industrial supply chains. When corporate boards rely on unverified assumptions regarding their defensive capabilities, they expose their entire production...
Artificial intelligence is changing cybersecurity on both sides of the battlefield. While organisations use AI to improve detection and efficiency, threat actors are using the same technologies to automate reconnaissance, scale social engineering, and increase the speed of attack execution....
