Capita Breach Fallout: £14 Million Fine Highlights the True Cost of Cyber Negligence

In one of the UK’s most significant cybersecurity incidents of 2023, Capita, a major outsourcing and professional services provider, was fined £14 million by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The penalty came after a massive data breach compromised the personal information of 6.6 million individuals, revealing systemic gaps in access control, threat detection, and incident response.

From Tool Sprawl to One Platform: How Graylog Simplifies Security Visibility

Security operations are buried under too many tools. Analysts switch between consoles, piece together context by hand, and burn valuable hours reconciling data that should already work together. According to Gartner, security leaders use an average of 19 different tools, and 80% say this level of complexity creates blind spots. This fragmentation slows down detection and response, drives up costs, and wears out teams that are already stretched thin.

Why Security Can Be Stricter: A Zero Trust Approach to AppSec with AI | Mend.io

Is AI making application security easier or harder? We spoke to Amit Chita, Field CTO at Mend.io, the rise of AI agents in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) presents a unique opportunity for security teams to be stricter than ever before. As developers increasingly use AI agents and integrate LLMs into applications, the attack surface is evolving in ways traditional security can't handle. The only way forward is a Zero Trust approach to your own AI models. Join Ashish Rajan and Amit Chita as they discuss the new threats introduced by AI and how to build a resilient security program for this new era.

Improving the trustworthiness of Javascript on the Web

The web is the most powerful application platform in existence. As long as you have the right API, you can safely run anything you want in a browser. Well… anything but cryptography. It is as true today as it was in 2011 that Javascript cryptography is Considered Harmful. The main problem is code distribution. Consider an end-to-end-encrypted messaging web application.

Stop the Silent Spread with Unified ZTNA

Attackers exploit fragmented access controls and security blind spots to silently escalate their presence and prepare for data theft. The initial breach is usually only the start – what comes next will have a greater impact. Once an attacker compromises a single endpoint, the focus quickly shifts to expanding reach, moving laterally, elevating privileges, and staging data theft. If access controls are inconsistent or overly permissive, this becomes easy.

Why Cybersecurity Training for Students Is Essential in Today's Digital World

In a hyperconnected era where everything from classes to finances happens online, students face increasing exposure to cyber risks. From identity theft to ransomware attacks, digital threats are evolving faster than ever. That’s why cybersecurity training for students is no longer optional — it’s essential. Much like learning financial literacy or time management, understanding digital safety is a life skill that protects not just your data, but your future.

Securing AI Applications in the Cloud: Shadow AI, RAG & Real Risks | Mend.io

What does it take to secure AI-based applications in the cloud? In this episode, host Ashish Rajan sits down with Bar-el Tayouri, Head of Mend AI at Mend.io, to dive deep into the evolving world of AI security. From uncovering the hidden dangers of shadow AI to understanding the layers of an AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM), Bar-el breaks down the complexities of securing AI-driven systems. Learn about the risks of malicious models, the importance of red teaming, and how to balance innovation with security in a dynamic AI landscape. What is an AIBOM and why it matters The stages of AI adoption.

A Practical Guide to Adopting a Zero Trust Architecture

As organizations adapt to hybrid work, cloud adoption, and expanding digital ecosystems, traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer enough. Zero Trust has emerged as a leading framework to help reduce risk, improve visibility, and strengthen resilience, but implementation remains a challenge for many. This whitepaper explores how organizations can adopt Zero Trust in a practical, phased approach, aligned to real business and risk priorities.

How to Implement Effective Data Protection in the Education Sector

As education platforms embrace DevOps, missing backups in the overall data protection strategy will expose systems to outages, data corruption, ransomware attacks, and prolonged recovery times. Let’s break down how backing up data securely can shield education technology, with immutable storage, unbreakable encryption keys, and flexible recovery. and what problems organizations may face when backup and disaster recovery of such critical systems is overlooked.
