Cybercrime no longer divides neatly between lone hackers, organised gangs and state-backed operations. These groups exchange tactics and tools, while stolen data gives them an asset that can be sold, used for fraud, held to ransom or weaponised for political damage.  Geoff White is an award-winning investigative journalist whose reporting has taken him inside global hacking networks, cryptocurrency thefts and modern money-laundering operations.   A former Technology Correspondent for Channel 4 News, he has also reported...

The 25th July 2026 marks one year since the Online Safety Act's landmark child safety duties came into force, making it a natural moment to assess what's changed, what's worked and what challenges remain. Although the Act itself received Royal Assent in October 2023, its requirements were introduced in phases, with 25th July 2025 being the date many of the most visible obligations on platforms took effect. The child safety duties require platforms likely to...

Synthetic media has moved from technical curiosity to mainstream threat in just a few years, with deepfakes now cheap enough to produce that a free app and a handful of seconds of scraped audio can generate convincing fakes. The consequences stretch well beyond political misinformation: corporate fraud running into tens of millions of dollars, biometric security checks being bypassed, and a largely under-reported epidemic of non-consensual intimate imagery. As regulation in the EU, UK and US...

Like many, I love KnowBe4’s The Inside Man series. So when series director Jim Shields and writer Robert McCollum stood on stage at the UK Premiere for Season 7 (held at the glitzy Odeon LUXE in Leicester Square, in an affair that could rival any of the Summer’s blockbusters) and said that they’d always planned to wrap the show up after seven series, I found myself abhorred. Personally, I’m not quite ready to let go...

Keeper Security recently released findings from a survey that explored how organisations manage AI-driven and non-human access. Insights from the in-person survey of cybersecurity professionals at Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London suggest that AI agents and Non-Human Identities (NHIs) are becoming more common in enterprise environments, while the governance approaches to handle them have been falling behind. Infosecurity Europe is one of the largest information security conferences in Europe, attracting practitioners, CISOs, and other security professionals to London each year. The survey conducted by Keeper collected responses...

Graham Cluley has spent more than three decades watching cybercrime grow from niche computer mischief into a boardroom threat.  The award-winning cyber security expert, speaker, blogger and podcaster began his career in the early 1990s, writing the first Windows version of Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus Toolkit before holding senior roles at Sophos and McAfee. Today, he is one of the few voices in cyber security who can explain hacking, scams and AI risk without burying audiences...

Compliance has long been characterised by what many security leaders now recognise as “audit chaos” –  a constant cycle of manual evidence collection, fragmented workflows and point-in-time reporting that struggles to match the pace of AI risk. In response, a new model is growing: agentic compliance. By embedding AI agents directly into trust and security workflows, organisations are beginning to move from reactive, audit-led processes to continuous, real-time assurance. These systems can coordinate tasks, collect...

The demand for cybersecurity protection continues to grow and with hundreds of different providers offering different levels of protection, how do cybersecurity firms gain a competitive advantage in this environment? Understanding what key strategies work when advertising your cybersecurity company online is crucial for success in such a competitive industry; whether you should utilise the services of a specialist advertising agency or whether you can go about advertising your company with whatever in-house capabilities you...

Evolution of AI Phishing As with most cyber threats, AI has created a fundamental shift in the phishing threat landscape. It has become a precision operation powered by AI systems that research, build, deliver, and adapt campaigns autonomously. AI acts as a force multiplier: it scales targeted techniques that previously required experience and time, while simultaneously lowering the barrier to entry once again. To understand the scope of this shift, consider that AI can now...
