Recent research published by the UK’s AI Security Institute highlights a striking new trend: roughly one in three UK adults have used artificial intelligence (AI) systems for emotional support or social interaction, and about one in 25 people engage with these systems…
Cybersecurity is changing quickly, and quantum computing is one of the biggest shifts organisations need to pay attention to. While it brings major opportunities, it also introduces new risks that current encryption cannot handle. Quantum-resistant cybersecurity helps organisations prepare for these challenges now, instead…
As quantum computing edges closer to becoming a mainstream technology, organizations are facing an urgent, potentially disruptive threat: the vulnerability of current encryption systems. Quantum computers, once fully realized, will be capable of breaking many of today’s cryptographic algorithms that…
Imagine a scenario where adversaries are quietly gathering encrypted communications, files, intellectual property, medical records, and state-secrets today—knowing that their target can’t read them yet. But when quantum computing matures, they plan to pull those encrypted assets from storage and decrypt…
Artificial intelligence has accelerated cyber threats at a pace that traditional security models struggle to match. Recent analysis of 2,811 ransomware incidents from 2023–2024 reveals a striking shift: 80.83% of all attacks now involve AI-enabled capabilities. This marks an era…
A new wave of attacks blends phishing, remote-access software abuse, and deep logistics know-how to redirect real-world shipments—from energy drinks to electronics—into criminal supply chains, with losses already climbing and poised to grow further. Incident Overview A fresh body of research shows financially…
In an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and pervasive, UK businesses face mounting pressure to fortify their digital infrastructures. The traditional “castle and moat” security model—where trust is granted based on location—is no longer sufficient. Enter Zero Trust:…
In the first half of 2025, the UAE and Saudi Arabia featured prominently in global cyber-attack rankings, as financially-motivated threats—including ransomware and extortion—surpassed espionage for organisations across the region. In its sixth annual Microsoft Digital Defense Report, covering the period July 2024 through…
Understanding the Rise of AI-Enabled Attacks Artificial intelligence has transformed the landscape of cybersecurity, giving rise to a new wave of sophisticated attacks that can target individuals and organizations with unprecedented precision and scale. From AI-powered phishing emails to deepfake…
Q2K (sometimes also called “Y2Q”) is a metaphor borrowed from the old “Y2K” bug — but it refers not to calendar dates, but to a looming quantum-driven disruption in encryption. It marks the point in the future when quantum computers…
