Today, the UK’s Online Safety Act enters a new phase of enforcement and media attention is riveted on the adult content industry. Age assurance is not only required, but now actively policed, with Ofcom empowered to block access and impose fines up to £18M or 10% of global revenue. This change is not gradual. The industry has mobilised with urgency, with 1,300 UK adult websites having deployed some form of robust age verification. Of course, the...

Today Keeper Security released its latest Insight Report, Securing Privileged Access: The Key to Modern Enterprise Defence, all about privileged access management (PAM). The report found that nearly half (49%) of organisations with PAM report fewer security incidents tied to privilege misuse.  The report also found that, as 94% of organisations now operate in hybrid or cloud-first environments, access controls must adapt with infrastructure evolution.  As organisations rely on an increasingly complex network of users, applications...

Recent research by Cybersmart has revealed that nearly half (45%) of MSPs admitted to having a dedicated pool of money set aside for ransomware payments. This is despite increasing pressure from insurers and global governments to avoid paying ransoms to stop fuelling criminal enterprises and encourage proactive resilience. Historically, the guidance and best practice around ransomware payments has been notoriously poorly defined. In a bid to make things clearer, in early 2025, the UK government...

New research by Salt Security has revealed that the majority of CISOs do not have full visibility over their API environments, despite recognition of the growing API attack surface. The 2025 Salt Security CISO Report found that while 73% of CISOs rank API security as a high or critical priority for the next 12 months, only 17% of CISOs reported having a comprehensive and implemented API security strategy, highlighting the growing gap between awareness and action...

New research by Cybersmart has revealed that over half (58%) of MSP leaders globally believe their customers are at more risk today than this time last year. As a result, MSPs are being relied upon more than ever by customers to provide critical cybersecurity support, with 84% of respondents noting that customers now expect them to manage either their cybersecurity infrastructure or their cybersecurity and IT estate combined. This is a significant uptick from 2024,...

The UK's public sector is under siege. Not by visible enemies, but by a wave of cyber threats. In 2024, the National Cyber Security Centre reported a 16% increase in serious attacks impacting national security. These aren't theoretical risks. They are real, growing, and increasingly sophisticated ranging from ransomware attacks shutting down local councils to state-sponsored attacks probing NHS infrastructure. This rise in hostile activity has prompted urgent legislative attention. The UK government’s forthcoming Cyber...

New research from Comparitech revealed that in the first half of 2025, 3,627 ransomware attacks were reported and logged. This is a 47% increase since the first half of 2024, which is highly concerning for major organisations due to the frequency of these attacks. However, popular ransomware groups, like Hunter international and Lockbit, have closed their doors in recent times. Head of data research at Comparitech, Rebecca Moody said "We didn't need any reminders of...

The recent Global Industrial Cybersecurity Benchmark 2025 by Takepoint Research, sponsored by Forescout, revealed an overconfidence in critical infrastructure security. Notably, the research found that 44% of industrial organisations claim to have strong real-time cyber visibility, but nearly 60% have low to no confidence in their Operational Technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) threat detection capabilities. Additionally, it was reported that a third of organisations take more than 90 days to remediate threats. The...

Advanced Cyber Defence Systems (ACDS) has today unveiled plans for further global expansion with the establishment of its new French entity. This follows its expansion across APAC last year through partnerships and personnel hires in the region. ACDS France will help organisations across France, as well as mainland Europe, to protect the expanded attack surface that comes with building and running complex, often multi-national, organisations. The expansion of ACDS into France comes at a time...
