The last time I spoke with Securonix, it was to discuss its acquisition of ThreatQuotient, adding a threat intelligence capability to its existing portfolio of security analytics, threat detection and incident response through its cloud-native Unified Defense SIEM. Several months on from that announcement, new steps have been taken to enable a wider user base, alongside the launch of new capabilities designed to support AI measurement and management. The combination of unified SIEM and managed...

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...

New research by Mitel has revealed a widening gap between AI adoption and enablement, with limited support and low confidence contributing to the rise of Shadow AI and unapproved AI usage. The State of Workforce Communication report found that while workplace communication is mission-critical, tools are misaligned with how teams execute, forcing employees to quietly compensate at measurable cost to productivity, security and service quality. The global survey of 2,000 IT decision-makers (ITDMs) and desk...

This week the European Central Bank (ECB), which supervises about 111 of the eurozone's largest banks, convened at an urgent meeting with major lenders to accelerate efforts around AI security and heed caution on the cyber risks of AI. Officials have warned banks specifically about the risks linked to Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview and similar systems, amid growing concern that AI can now identify and exploit software flaws faster than institutions can patch them. Sam...

The book is a follow up to their 2025 book Securely Yours. The book is a practical Agony Aunt-style guide for individuals wanting to build resiliency into their careers.

Most people understand what it means to protect a human identity because the dangers of someone impersonating you online or stealing and cloning your card are immediately obvious. Today, organisations rely on thousands of non-human identities that belong to software applications, cloud workloads, APIs, bots, and now AI agents as well, which can affect almost everyone if compromised. So, what happens when a cyber attacker hijacks the identity of an autonomous agent. Meet the invisible...
