AI Security Risks #5 – AI Strategies for a Secure Future

As we’ve explored in this blog series, Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers remarkable capabilities in enhancing cybersecurity, but it also significantly escalates the complexity and potency of cyber threats. Successfully navigating this dual reality demands robust, proactive, and strategic approaches. Organisations must harness AI effectively to fortify their defences while implementing rigorous controls to mitigate the…

AI Security Risks #4 – AI and Autonomous Cyber Threats

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) advances, a new era of autonomous cyber threats emerges. The ability for malware to learn, adapt, and evolve independently represents a significant escalation in the cybersecurity arms race. Organisations must understand these emerging threats to adequately prepare and defend their digital environments against highly intelligent and adaptive cyber-attacks. The Evolution of…

AI Security Risks #3 – Data Poisoning and Model Manipulation

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes deeply embedded in cybersecurity, its dependency on vast amounts of data presents a significant point of vulnerability. One of the most concerning threats emerging from this dependency is data poisoning and model manipulation. These techniques allow attackers to subtly, yet effectively, compromise AI systems, turning protective measures into potential risks…

AI Security Risks #2 – How adversaries are using AI against you

As organisations globally embrace artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen cybersecurity, adversaries are equally quick to exploit these technologies to launch increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks. The powerful capabilities of AI have become accessible to both security teams and cybercriminals alike, transforming the threat landscape. Understanding how attackers utilise AI is critical for organisations aiming to stay ahead…

AI Security Risks #1 – Both the Protector and the Threat

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed the cybersecurity landscape, becoming an indispensable tool in the fight against cybercrime. As threats become increasingly sophisticated, traditional security measures often fall short, leaving organisations vulnerable to advanced attacks. AI offers a revolutionary solution, enhancing the speed, accuracy, and effectiveness of security systems. However, AI’s power is not only…

Mind the Gap! #7 – Gap Closing Responsibility

As we conclude our ‘Mind the Gap’ series, it’s time to tie together all the threads we’ve explored—awareness, misconfigurations, third-party risks, integration challenges, and infrastructure design. A recurring theme has been that security is not simply a product or a point solution; it’s an ongoing process requiring alignment across people, processes, and technology. Demarcation Lines…

Mind the Gap! #6 – The Perils of Poor Design

Sometimes, the weakest links in an organisation’s security chain aren’t found in the fancy technologies or advanced analytics but in the very blueprint of the infrastructure itself. Poorly designed networks, data centres, and system architectures can create latent vulnerabilities that attackers are more than willing to exploit. The Foundation Matters Infrastructure forms the foundation upon…

Mind the Gap! #5 – Disjointed Systems

Modern security environments often resemble patchwork quilts. Over the years, organisations accumulate multiple point solutions: firewalls, intrusion detection systems, endpoint protectors, data loss prevention tools, and more. While each tool serves a purpose, the lack of integration between them can create dangerous blind spots. The Complexity Conundrum As cyber threats grow in sophistication, it’s natural…

Mind the Gap! #4 – Overreliance on 3rd Parties

In an interconnected digital world, almost no organisation operates entirely on its own. Third-party vendors, service providers, and supply chain partners all play critical roles – offering specialised expertise, resources, or cost savings. However, with these partnerships come unique security challenges. Overreliance on external entities can introduce hidden gaps that undermine even the most robust…

Mind the Gap! #3 – Misconfigurations

Security misconfigurations often fly under the radar because they’re not as immediately visible as a glaring software vulnerability or a high-profile zero-day exploit. However, they can be just as dangerous – if not more so. A misconfiguration is essentially a security setting that has been incorrectly or incompletely set up, leaving a door open for…
