You are the CISO of a mid-sized enterprise that is experiencing rapid growth, i.e., your security stack is becoming increasingly complex by the month, compliance auditors are asking more challenging questions, and your board wants measurable proof that security investments are actually reducing risk. Meanwhile, attack vectors are evolving daily, and your current risk assessments consistently lag behind.

Aligning with the Australian Government’s expectations for cybersecurity can present challenges, especially for organizations unfamiliar with the frameworks in use. For those looking to work with or support government programs, understanding how systems are assessed against the Information Security Manual (ISM) is critical. The ISM, maintained by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), sets out cybersecurity principles to guide the protection of government information and systems.

Traditional asset inventories list what exists—they don’t reveal why an asset is critical or how it might be attacked. With threats constantly evolving, teams need context: Which assets hold sensitive data? Which are actively targeted? Without this, efforts like patching or monitoring are unfocused and inefficient. Context-driven asset profiling aligns defenses with real risk—saving time, money, and reputation.

Fraud is everywhere. From phishing emails to fake investment schemes, scams have become an unfortunate part of our digital lives. However, one type of fraud that strikes fear across the board, affecting both individuals and businesses, is card and payment fraud. Unlike other scams, this one hit directly where it hurts: your money.

Until a decade or so ago, it was sufficient for security teams to use firewalls, antivirus, and intrusion detection to secure their business network. Today’s application environments have expanded beyond traditional perimeters to include APIs, open-source software, third-party modules, and AI-generated code. This greatly increases the attack surface and need for application risk management that’s holistic and automated.

Almost a decade after its discovery, the critical remote code execution vulnerability known as CVE-2016-10033 continues to pose a significant threat to web applications worldwide. In this post, we explain why it's so dangerous and the essential steps to protect your systems from this critical exposure in 2025.

Security Operations Centre (SOC) teams have never had it easy - but today, the complexity of defending against cyber threats has taken on an entirely new dimension. You’ve secured endpoints, networks, and cloud infrastructure. But the biggest threats are at the human layer, where visibility is lacking and most breaches begin.

As organizations become increasingly reliant on third-party vendors and external partners, leaders must ensure that risk management practices are both robust and efficient. Automated third-party risk management (TPRM) offers a transformative opportunity to drive measurable returns on investment (ROI) while enhancing operational resilience.

A risk register is a structured document used to identify, track, and manage risks throughout a project or within an organization’s operations. It serves as a central repository for all known risks, helping teams stay aware of potential issues that could impact objectives. Each entry typically includes a risk description, the likelihood and impact of the risk, the person responsible, and planned mitigation or treatment actions.
