As organisations increasingly rely on IoT devices for operational efficiency and data collection, managing each device securely throughout its lifecycle becomes crucial. IoT Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) is a structured approach to securing IoT devices from their initial setup through to decommissioning. By implementing best practices for each stage, organisations can reduce security risks, ensure data protection, and maintain compliance with regulatory standards.

As 2025 approaches, cybersecurity leaders are bracing for a year of intensifying challenges. Regulations are tightening, nation-state attackers are refining their strategies, and CISOs are under growing pressure. Aleksandr Yampolskiy, Co-Founder and CEO, Jeff Le, VP of Global Government Affairs and Public Policy, and Steve Cobb, CISO, all from SecurityScorecard, bring sharp focus to what lies ahead. What worked in 2024 may not protect you in 2025.

We witness a sharp surge in website security risks, as highlighted in the latest State of Application Security 2023 Annual Report. AppTrana WAAP blocked over 6 billion attacks across 1400+ websites under its protection. Every website is at risk, regardless of whether it is a simple blog, a portfolio showcase, a small cupcake business, or a dynamic e-commerce platform. Why would someone hack my website? How do hackers check if my website is hackable? How do websites get hacked?

Cybercrime and online harms are rapidly evolving, impacting millions annually in England and Wales alone. Recognising the complexity and urgency of these issues, The Cyber Helpline has undertaken a thorough analysis to examine the critical gaps in the processes of reporting, investigation, and prosecution faced by victims. Drawing on our data and insights from across England and Wales, we explore the journey of victims from the initial impact through to potential prosecution.

Identity management acronyms aren’t anyone’s idea of a fun day out, but successfully securing identities requires carefully stitching together each of these acronyms into a comprehensive identity security solution. In this article, we discuss AM, PAM, IGA, ADM – and how a unified identity platform (UIP) can help you tie them all together. Let’s start by defining each of these acronyms.

The EU’s Network and Information Systems Directive 2 (NIS2) for cybersecurity resilience entered full enforcement in October 2024, and compliance with its requirements presents major challenges for many companies, particularly those in the financial services sector. And while most IT leaders are confident of achieving NIS2 compliance, they also acknowledge that this cybersecurity directive has exacerbated existing challenges such as resource constraints and skills gaps.

If there’s one fraud statistic worth dwelling on as Fraud Awareness Week 2024 passes, it’s this – in the past year, scams of one type or other siphoned $1 trillion globally, according to the Global Scam Alliance’s State of Scams Report 2024. But this figure only scratches the surface of cybercrime’s total global cost, projected to reach $10.5 trillion in 2025, according to Cybersecurity Ventures, the world’s leading source of cyber research.
