Why Vulnerability Scanning Alone Is Not Enough

Organisations commonly rely on automated vulnerability scanners to identify security weaknesses across their systems and networks. While vulnerability scanning is an important component of cybersecurity, relying solely on automated tools often provides an incomplete picture of real security risk. Automated scanners typically generate large volumes of findings, but they cannot determine how vulnerabilities might be

Why Identity Is the New Security Perimeter

Traditionally, cybersecurity strategies focused heavily on protecting the network perimeter. Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and network segmentation were designed to prevent attackers from entering the environment. However, modern IT environments are far more distributed. Cloud services, remote work, mobile devices, and third-party integrations mean that users often access systems from outside traditional network boundaries. As

The Growing Cybersecurity Risks in Operational Technology (OT)

Operational Technology (OT) environments are increasingly connected to corporate IT networks and cloud platforms. While connectivity enables better monitoring, automation, and efficiency, it also introduces new cybersecurity risks. Many industrial control systems were originally designed for reliability and operational efficiency rather than cybersecurity. As a result, these environments often lack modern security controls such as

Why Email Remains the Most Common Entry Point for Cyber Attacks

Why Email Remains the Most Common Entry Point for Cyber Attacks

Despite advances in cybersecurity technologies, email continues to be one of the most common entry points for cyber attacks. Threat actors frequently use phishing emails to trick users into revealing credentials, opening malicious attachments, or clicking links that install malware. Business email compromise (BEC) attacks are also increasing, where attackers impersonate executives or trusted partners
