Despite major investments in cybersecurity, organizations continue to face breaches. Most security mechanisms implemented guard against threats such as password theft. However, there is a growing concern with the unchecked expansion of user access, permissions, and tokens across apps, clouds, and systems. This growing challenge is known as authorization sprawl, and it is becoming one of the most dangerous and least visible threats in modern enterprise security. According to insights from the SANS keynote at the RSAC 2025 Conference, attackers are increasingly exploiting this sprawl to gain legitimate, persistent access that bypasses multifactor authentication (MFA), security information and event management (SIEM) alerts, and endpoint detectionRead More →

As organizations invest heavily in next-gen firewalls, AI detection, and threat intelligence, grave cyberattacks have been reported as a result of overlooked misconfigurations. According to the latest statistics, about 23 percent of cloud security incidents are directly connected to misconfigurations. These missteps create easy entry points for cybercriminals that may lead to data breaches, ransomware demands, and financial loss. What are Misconfigurations? Misconfigurations are overlooked errors in system setups that create vulnerabilities without the need for hackers to apply advanced hacking techniques. These silent threats are human-driven oversights when configuring software, hardware, or cloud services. Good examples include improperly set permissions in cloud storage, insecureRead More →

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most talked-about technologies today. It has taken a shift from the broad general-purpose tools to specialized innovations that promise real impact. AI is dominating headlines with investor pitches. There has also been a surge in startups promising AI-powered solutions. However, some businesses have already adopted and invested millions into AI projects with little return. As AI advances, business owners and investors need to stop chasing the latest headlines and consider how to best integrate AI to create lasting value. Understanding the AI Investment Landscape in 2025 Since the AI breakout, it has advanced dramatically. There are three forcesRead More →

The digital landscape has rapidly advanced, fueled by generative AI and other transformative technologies. Although this has come with great opportunities, it has also introduced new strategic threats. Among these is disinformation. The World Economic Forum classifies misinformation and disinformation as a top global threat alongside conflict and environment in its 2025 global risks report. With generative AI becoming more sophisticated, threat actors (like deepfakes, voice cloning, viral hoaxes and AI-driven scams) are increasing in frequency and precision. Therefore, business leaders need to act fast to build disinformation resilience. Why Disinformation Matters for Business Disinformation is the intentional spread of false or misleading information withRead More →

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about quantum computing, drawing interest from many, including business leaders. Quantum computing promises to solve previously unsolvable problems and revolutionize entire industries. As a result, excitement around its potential is rapidly growing. However, it is important to first ask where the hype ends and the real business value begins. What is Quantum Computing? Simply put, quantum computing is a new way of processing information. Unlike classical computers that use bits that are either 0 or 1, quantum computers use qubits (quantum bits). Qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously as enabled by the principles of superposition andRead More →

Deepfakes are becoming more convincing than ever. Whether manipulated media or entirely generated by artificial intelligence (AI), deepfakes can now realistically alter faces and clone voices. They can even fabricate entire scenarios across video, audio, and text. Unfortunately, these developments now create significant challenges, and people can no longer trust what is presented online. Methods that have in the past been used to detect less-perfect deepfakes are becoming obsolete. There is now an urgent need to develop more effective detection solutions. The Escalating Threat Deepfakes are being actively used in malicious ways. It is being used to fuel misinformation, enable new forms of fraud, andRead More →
