Keeping your organisation’s systems secure can feel like an endless battle. Patch management and vulnerability mitigation are often seen as tedious tasks, but they form the backbone of effective cybersecurity.

Over 95 per cent of identity and security leaders now say identity security is core to their strategy. A decade ago, this wasn’t even part of the conversation.

If you've ever tried to navigate the FedRAMP authorization process, you already know it's slow, expensive, and tedious when it comes to the documentation.

For many institutions, the question is no longer how to use artificial intelligence in their fraud detection stack, but how to use it responsibly.

For years, data sovereignty was treated as a compliance requirement, focused mainly on keeping data within specific geographic borders. Today, that definition is no longer sufficient. True data sovereignty now encompasses control, visibility, and accountability over data wherever it resides, moves, or is processed.

Samsung’s AI-fuelled chip boom has triggered an internal labour battle, with consumer electronics workers challenging a pay deal that could award semiconductor employees bonuses worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
