Databarracks’ Data Health Check – an annual survey of 500 UK IT decision makers – found that while more organisations than ever have cyber insurance, the number of claims is down. 66% of those surveyed report having insurance specifically for cyber in 2024, rising from 51% over the past two years.

In today's digital landscape, where cyber threats are more sophisticated than ever, traditional security measures alone are not enough. A cyber vault offers a secure, isolated environment designed to safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access and evolving threats. By integrating immutability, air-gapping, and seamless recovery processes, it provides an extra layer of defense that traditional methods lack. As cyber threats continue to evolve, understanding and implementing a cyber vault becomes crucial. This blog explores the...

While many organisations can defend against published application vulnerabilities, they often neglect to build security into the application production process. This leaves the door wide open for vulnerabilities to be exploited by the adversaries. In fact, zero-day attacks are on the rise: Google researchers discovered that the number of zero days exploited had doubled within recent years, with 97 zero days exploited in the wild in 2023, compared with 62 in 2022. Zero-day vulnerabilities present...

Evidently, organisations continue to struggle to keep pace with the threats associated with expanding API ecosystems, along with trying to accurately comprehend their complex behavioural attributes.
