- [ANTI-VIRUS MONTH: Defending Endpoints in a Cloud-First World – AV/EDR best practice for local government](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/anti-virus-month-defending-endpoints-in-a-cloud-first-world-av-edr-best-practice-for-local-government/): For local authorities attending the Cyber Secure Forum, endpoint security is no longer confined to a managed corporate network. Cloud adoption, hybrid working, shared services and a growing ecosystem of suppliers mean laptops, mobiles and unmanaged devices now sit on the front line of risk. As such, ‘anti-virus’ is best viewed as endpoint protection plus detection and response (AV/EDR) – and local government success depends on how well it is deployed and operated, not simply which product is chosen… Start with coverage, not features The most common weakness is inconsistent coverage: devices not enrolled, servers treated differently, or exceptions made […]
- [2026: The year the FCA demands proof, not promises](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/2026-the-year-the-fca-demands-proof-not-promises/): As financial services firms look ahead to 2026, the FCA’s priorities will continue to shape the regulatory environment, reinforcing the balancing act between enabling growth and ensuring firms consistently “do the right thing.” The direction of travel is clear. The regulator is adopting a more pro-growth tone, but there is no softening of expectations when it comes to outcomes, integrity and accountability. The FCA’s five-year strategy, launched in March 2025, is anchored in four key themes: becoming a smarter, more efficient regulator; supporting growth and innovation; helping consumers navigate their financial lives; and combating financial crime. Central to this approach is […]

- [VC trends point to increased focus on cybersecurity compliance](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/vc-trends-point-to-increased-focus-on-cybersecurity-compliance/): Venture capital and mid-market private equity firms are focusing on the growing regulatory challenges from cybersecurity and AI, giving indicators about the future direction of the market. According to research for Ocorian, around three out of four (75%) believe cybersecurity compliance issues around data protection will pose the greatest technology-related challenge to their firm over the next two years, ahead of 60% who point to the challenges of adapting to AI governance and its use in compliance.  The study with senior U.S. and Canadian executives at mid-market private equity and venture capital firms responsible for $335.25 billion assets under management […]
- [2025: Hypervolumetric attacks surge, non-profits most attacked industry, says Cloudflare](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/2025-hypervolumetric-attacks-surge-non-profits-most-attacked-industry-says-cloudflare/): Global internet traffic ballooned by 19% year-over-year in 2025, accompanied by substantial changes and advanced capabilities introduced to AI. At the same time, there were major milestones in security: post-quantum encryption now secures 52% of all human traffic. However, this growth also brought challenges, with a dramatic escalation in cyber warfare leading to more than 25 record-breaking DDoS attacks.  Cloudflare’s Year in Review also shares key data insights about the changing Internet landscape – Top highlights of 2025 include: This data comes from Cloudflare Radar, a free tool that lets anyone view global trends and insights across the Internet. Radar is […]
- [NETWORK SECURITY MONTH: Securing East–West traffic in an era of cloud sprawl and microservices](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/network-security-month-securing-east-west-traffic-in-an-era-of-cloud-sprawl-and-microservices/): As organisations attending the Cyber Secure Forum embrace cloud computing, containerisation and microservices architectures, the shape of the enterprise network has fundamentally changed. Traffic that once flowed clearly north–south (in and out of the perimeter) is now overwhelmingly east–west, moving laterally between workloads, services and applications inside the environment. While this shift has delivered agility and scalability, it has also created a critical blind spot for security teams: encrypted internal traffic… The Encryption Paradox Encryption is essential for protecting data in transit, but it also limits visibility. The widespread adoption of TLS 1.3, which encrypts more of the handshake and […]

- [NETWORK SECURITY MONTH: Supply Chain in the Network – Securing APIs, third-party integrations and edge devices in a hyper-connected enterprise](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/network-security-month-supply-chain-in-the-network-securing-apis-third-party-integrations-and-edge-devices-in-a-hyper-connected-enterprise/): As organisations accelerate digital transformation, the modern enterprise network has expanded far beyond firewalls, data centres and office LANs. Today’s infrastructure includes thousands of APIs, SaaS integrations, IoT sensors, OT systems, remote endpoints and vendor-managed services, each representing a potential entry point for attackers. In short, network security is no longer just about protecting your own systems. It’s about securing the entire digital supply chain connected to your network... The Hyper-Connected Attack Surface Enterprise networks now rely on a dense web of third-party connections: payment processors, identity providers, logistics platforms, cloud storage, analytics services, collaboration tools and hundreds of API-based […]
- [NEDs struggling to recognise business outcomes from cyber investments](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/neds-struggling-to-see-recognise-business-outcomes-from-cyber-investments/): Ninety percent of non-executive directors (NEDs) lack a measure of confidence in cybersecurity value, and often struggle to connect cybersecurity investments to real business outcomes. According to survey data from Gartner, only 10% of NEDs express strong confidence in the value of cybersecurity investments or initiatives, stating they have the right balance of protection and cost. Yet, NED’s skepticism in cybersecurity value is a resource for change. Sense-maker CIOs and CISOs, who form the cyber-elite and help their organizations understand and respond to complexity and change have managed to earn their boards’ trust on “just right” levels of protection and cost. The 2026 […]
- [Research highlights potential AI data compliance gaps](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/research-highlights-potential-ai-data-compliance-gaps/): Over half (51%) of the UK’s IT decision makers are either ‘not very’ or only ‘somewhat’ certain that the data generated by their AI tools is compliant with regulations such as GDPR. That’s according to a survey by Cisco-owned Splunk, which says despite the fact that 88% of UK IT decision makers (ITDMs) are currently running or have already worked on an AI project, and fines for non-compliance can cost organisations tens of millions.  The research, which surveyed 500 UK ITDMs from companies of 250 seats or more, also revealed that 64% of ITDMs are concerned that compliance is set to become even […]

- [RISK MANAGEMENT MONTH: From Cyber to Enterprise Risk – Building a unified governance model for 2026](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/risk-management-month-from-cyber-to-enterprise-risk-building-a-unified-governance-model-for-2026/): Cybersecurity teams are no longer just defending networks, they’re safeguarding the organisation’s entire operational and financial resilience. The most progressive CISOs are shifting from a purely technical posture to a strategic enterprise risk role, aligning cybersecurity with business continuity, compliance, and reputation management. This evolution reflects a growing recognition: cyber risk is business risk. And governance models must now adapt to reflect that reality… Breaking Down the Silos For years, organisations have managed cyber risk in isolation, with IT teams tracking vulnerabilities, compliance teams handling audits, and business leaders focusing on operational resilience. That fragmentation created blind spots, inconsistencies, and […]
- [A CISO’s playbook to communicating cyber risk effectively](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/a-cisos-playbook-to-communicating-cyber-risk-effectively-free-templates-included/): Get The GOAT Guide for Reporting to the Board Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue – it’s a boardroom priority. Regulators demand accountability, investors expect defensibility, and boards want clarity on how security supports business outcomes. The challenge? Most security leaders struggle to translate technical risk into language the board understands – leading to lost trust, unclear priorities, and limited resources. That’s why Pentera, the leader in AI-powered security validation, created The GOAT Guide for Reporting to the Board– a CISO’s playbook based on input from leading executives. Inside, you’ll find 8 tactics that translate security issues into business terms […]
- [Beyond technology: How cyber governance lays the foundation for true cyber resilience](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/beyond-technology-how-cyber-governance-lays-the-foundation-for-true-cyber-resilience/): Cyber governance refers to the framework of policies, processes, and practices that an organisation implements to manage and mitigate cyber risks effectively. It involves the strategic oversight and decision-making processes that ensure an organisation’s digital assets, data, and systems are protected from cyber threats while maintaining compliance with legal, regulatory, and ethical standards. Why is cyber governance important? Cyber governance is critical because it ensures that cyber security is treated as a strategic priority rather than a purely technical issue. By building a culture of security and accountability, organisations can proactively prepare for and respond to cyber threats. This includes practising […]
- [5 Minutes With… Alton Johnson, Founder & General Manager at Vonahi Security](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/5-minutes-with-alton-johnson-founder-general-manager-at-vonahi-security/): In the latest instalment of our cybersecurity industry executive interview series we speak to Alton Johnson (pictured) Founder & General Manager at Vonahi Security, about the firm’s vPenTest solution, dispel the the biggest myths about automated penetration testing, the shift towards automated platforms and the growing presence of AI… Vonahi Security was started out of frustration with the way traditional cybersecurity companies were handling penetration tests. The process was slow, repetitive, overly manual, and frankly, outdated. We built vPenTest to change that. It’s an automated network penetration testing platform that takes the manual steps and streamlines them into a simple, […]

- [The top pentest findings attackers love to exploit in 2025](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/the-top-pentest-findings-attackers-love-to-exploit-in-2025/): Vonahi’s 2025 Pentest Report reveals the top vulnerabilities attackers repeatedly exploit and shows why continuous network pentesting is crucial for businesses worldwide. Cybercrime has become one of the most pressing threats facing businesses around the world. Global forecasts predict that by 2025, cybercrime will cost an estimated 10.5 trillion dollars each year. Despite this, penetration testing is still often approached as a once-a-year compliance requirement rather than a core part of security strategy. The problem is that without proper testing, most tools only create a feeling of safety rather than real protection. The Vonahi Security Pentest Report 2025 shows that […]
- [A CISO’s playbook for winning the Board’s trust](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/a-cisos-playbook-for-winning-the-boards-trust/): Turn security updates into strategic boardroom decisions. Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue – it’s a boardroom priority. Regulators demand accountability, investors expect defensibility, and boards want clarity on how security supports business outcomes. The challenge: most CISOs struggle to frame technical risk in terms that resonate with directors. The result? Lost trust, unclear priorities, and difficulty securing the resources needed to defend the business. That’s why Pentera, the leader in AI-powered security validation, created The GOAT Guide: Reporting to the Board – a CISO’s playbook for communicating cyber risk effectively, built with input from leading security executives. Inside, you’ll […]

- [EMPLOYEE AWARENESS MONTH: The Psychology of Cyber Risk – Why behavioural science holds the key to awareness success](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/employee-awareness-month-the-psychology-of-cyber-risk-why-behavioural-science-holds-the-key-to-awareness-success/): Cybersecurity awareness is often focused on education: telling employees what not to do. But the most successful organisations are going beyond knowledge transfer and tapping into behavioural science to reduce human risk at scale. Instead of asking “Do employees know the policy?”, security leaders are asking a far more important question: “Will they behave securely in the moment that matters?” From Information to Behaviour Change Traditional training assumes that if people understand the rules, they will follow them. Behavioural science shows that this is rarely true. Most security mistakes, such as clicking malicious links, reusing passwords, oversharing data, are not […]
- [EMPLOYEE AWARENESS MONTH: Businesses should be paying attention to AI-powered social engineering](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/employee-awareness-month-businesses-should-be-paying-attention-to-ai-powered-social-engineering/): Over the past months, a series of high-profile cyberattacks have highlighted how widespread the risk has become. Marks & Spencer, Jaguar Land Rover and even nursery schools have found themselves targeted by bad actors – the latter causing sensitive details of children and families being exposed. While these instances of cybersecurity breaches employ ransomware tactics, they’re not the only type of cyber crime a business can fall foul of. Phishing, fraud and other forms of malware are on the rise, underscoring the essential role of robust data protection in every organisation. It’s a board-level issue, and the rise of artificial intelligence is making it […]
- [LGfL offers cybersecurity training to school governors](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/lgfl-offers-cybersecurity-training-to-school-governors/): Edtech charity LGfL-the National Grid for Learning has launched a free online Cybersecurity Training for School Governors, designed to equip leadership teams with the knowledge and skills needed to oversee and strengthen their school’s cybersecurity practices.  Attacks such as phishing, ransomware and malware can have devastating impacts, from breaches of confidential information to disruption of teaching and learning, compromising student safety.

- [EMPLOYEE AWARENESS MONTH: Gone phishing – Rethinking cybersecurity staff training for the human layer](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/employee-awareness-month-gone-phishing-rethinking-cybersecurity-staff-training-for-the-human-layer/): Employee cybersecurity awareness has historically centred around phishing tests and annual training modules. While these exercises play a role, the modern threat landscape (and workforce) demands more. Forward-thinking organisations attending the Cyber Secure Forum are reimagining awareness as an ongoing, behaviour-driven discipline, focused not on catching people out but on empowering them to be the first line of defence… The Limits of Traditional Training Phishing simulations and online courses have become standard across most organisations, but their impact often plateaus. Employees may learn to spot a fake email in isolation, yet still fall for more sophisticated social engineering attacks or […]
- [Analyst predict 30% increase in AI-related legal disputes for tech companies](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/analyst-predict-30-increase-in-ai-related-legal-disputes-for-tech-companies/): AI regulatory violations will result in a 30% increase in legal disputes for tech companies, with weak international regulation impeding the provision of coherent guidance for IT leaders. A May through June 2025 Gartner survey of 360 IT leaders involved in the rollout of generative AI (GenAI) tools found that over 70% indicated that regulatory compliance is within their top three challenges for their organisation’s widespread GenAI productivity assistants deployment.  Only 23% of respondents are very confident in their organisation’s ability to manage security and governance components when rolling out GenAI tools in their enterprise applications. “Global AI regulations vary widely, reflecting each […]

Private equity firms face the unique challenge of balancing their own cyber resilience, performing cyber due diligence on target companies, and managing the cybersecurity across their investment portfolios. A recent study by S-RM revealed that 72% of private equity firms across the US and EMEA experienced a significant cyber incident in the past three years, with the average cost of a single incident reaching $3.4 million USD. Despite this, only around half of firms have a defined and tested incident […]
- [VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT MONTH: Using risk-based frameworks to focus on what really matters](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/vulnerability-management-month-using-risk-based-frameworks-to-focus-on-what-really-matters/): For CISOs and security teams, the vulnerability landscape can feel overwhelming. Thousands of new CVEs are published each year, each accompanied by headlines warning of potential exploitation. Yet most organisations lack the resources to patch everything at once. The result? A cycle of alert fatigue, wasted effort, and residual risk... Forward-looking organisations are breaking that cycle by embracing risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM), a model that prioritises vulnerabilities based not on severity scores alone, but on business impact, exploitability, and context. The Limits of Traditional Scoring For years, patching strategies have been guided by the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). While […]

- [How CSIOs can bridge the skills gap: Balancing rapid AI innovation with robust cybersecurity](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/how-csios-can-bridge-the-skills-gap-balancing-rapid-ai-innovation-with-robust-cybersecurity/): Studies show that UK businesses faced approximately 7.78 million cybercrimes in the past 12 months alone. While 75% of the respondents surveyed for the 2024 SoPR have integrated AI tools into their penetration testing processes, a critical skills gap persists. Most organisations struggle to match the pace of AI adoption with the necessary expertise to secure these implementations effectively. With this in mind, Conor O’Neill, Co-Founder and CEO of penetration testing provider, OnSecurity, has shared how CISOs can address this skills gap, balancing rapid AI innovation with strong cybersecurity... The first step in bridging the AI-cybersecurity skills gap is acknowledging its scope. […]

For the first time in the report’s 12-year history, ASSA ABLOY’s commissioned industry survey found that wireless (fully or partly) deployments have overtaken wired-only systems among organisations managing access digitally. The 2025 survey highlights sustainability as a leading driver of investment. For 27% of respondents, it is now the top factor when considering new access management capabilities. Wireless systems, which reduce cabling and infrastructure requirements, are increasingly positioned as an […]
- [VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT MONTH: Integrating your security processes into DevSecOps pipelines](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/vulnerability-management-month-integrating-your-security-processes-into-devsecops-pipelines/): Vulnerability management is no longer seen as a bolt-on activity handled after deployment. For organisations under increasing pressure from regulators, customers, and boards to reduce cyber risk, the focus has shifted to embedding vulnerability detection and remediation directly into development workflows: a practice widely known as ‘shifting left’… The Problem with Traditional Approaches Historically, vulnerability management relied on periodic scans of production environments. While effective in flagging issues, this approach often surfaced vulnerabilities late in the lifecycle, i.e. after software was already live. The result: costly remediation, technical debt, and exposure windows that attackers could exploit. For agile teams releasing […]

- [PEN TESTING MONTH: Why internal testing is critical in the age of insider threats and hybrid workforces](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/pen-testing-month-why-internal-testing-is-critical-in-the-age-of-insider-threats-and-hybrid-workforces/): As organisations adapt to hybrid working models and more complex IT ecosystems, the historic notion of perimeter defence has all but dissolved. Today, some of the most significant threats come from within the network, and internal penetration testing is fast becoming a vital tool in identifying them. Insider threats, whether malicious or accidental, pose a growing risk. Misconfigured user access, unpatched legacy systems, unmanaged endpoints, and unsecured collaboration tools can all create vulnerabilities that attackers exploit once inside the network. In hybrid work environments, where employees routinely connect via personal devices, home Wi-Fi, and cloud platforms, the traditional assumptions of […]
- [UK firms bearing brunt of ransomware surge](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/uk-firms-bearing-brunt-of-ransomware-surge/): A new study shows hackers are relentless and ransomware is still a global epidemic: in 40% of attacks, threat actors threatened to physically harm executives at organisations that declined to pay a ransom demand. The 2025 Ransomware Risk Report from Semperis found that UK organisations are being targeted more than most other countries (84%), and around half of those attacks (49%) are successful. While data erasure and release of sensitive data are the most common threats, 47% of attacked companies in the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Singapore, Canada, Australia and New Zealand also reported that hackers threatened to file regulatory complaints […]
- [PEN TESTING MONTH: Red Team vs. Blue Team – How simulated attacks are cyber defences](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/pen-testing-month-red-team-vs-blue-team-how-simulated-attacks-are-cyber-defences/): Mature organisations attending the Cyber Secure Forum in both the public and private sectors are increasingly turning to red teaming and blue teaming (simulated attack and defence exercises) to rigorously test their cyber resilience. Red team exercises mimic real-world attackers. These ethical hackers use the same tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) as cybercriminals, e.g. phishing, privilege escalation, lateral movement, exfiltration, to attempt to breach an organisation’s defences. The objective isn’t just to find technical vulnerabilities, but to test how well people, processes, and systems respond under pressure. In contrast, the blue team is made up of internal defenders, security operations […]
- [500% increase in Cloud Account detections](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/500-increase-in-cloud-account-detections/): A new report has highlighted a dramatic rise in identity threats and the evolving landscape of cloud techniques, driven by increased adoption of identity security measures, generative AI, and enhanced detection capabilities. The analysis by Red Canary emphasises the need for security strategies to address both clear threats and subtle, risky behaviours that can precede major breaches. At the top line of findings, Red Canary observed an almost 500% increase in detections associated with Cloud Accounts during the first half of 2025. This significant rise stems primarily from Red Canary’s expanded identity detection coverage and the implementation of AI agents designed to […]

- [AI MONTH: Balancing Innovation and Ethics – Responsible AI governance in cybersecurity](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/ai-month-balancing-innovation-and-ethics-responsible-ai-governance-in-cybersecurity/): AI systems are increasingly deployed to automate threat detection, triage alerts, and even take autonomous defensive action. While these technologies offer unprecedented speed and accuracy, they also raise urgent questions about bias, surveillance, and decision transparency… One of the most pressing challenges is algorithmic bias. AI-driven threat detection tools rely on large datasets to identify anomalous or malicious behaviour. If these datasets are unbalanced or poorly curated, the result can be false positives that disproportionately target specific users, behaviours, or locations, particularly when used in insider threat monitoring. This can create reputational, legal, and operational risks for organisations, especially in […]

- [The Future of Network Pentesting: Automating Security with vPenTest](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/the-future-of-network-pentesting-automating-security-with-vpentest/): Traditional network penetration testing is no longer enough. It is manual, time-consuming, expensive, and typically conducted only once a year. Meanwhile, cyber threats evolve constantly and take advantage of gaps the moment they appear. Automated network penetration testing platforms like vPenTest are reshaping this landscape by enabling faster, scalable, and more frequent security assessments. 1. Test More Often with Less Effort Annual assessments leave networks vulnerable for extended periods. With automation, organizations can test monthly, weekly, or even daily—identifying and addressing vulnerabilities as they surface. 2.

- [Internal vs. External Network Pentesting: What’s the real difference?](https://cybersecureforum.co.uk/briefing/internal-vs-external-network-pentesting-whats-the-real-difference/): When it comes to protecting your network, penetration testing is essential. But not all tests are created equal. Understanding the difference between internal and external network penetration testing can make a huge impact on your overall security. Let’s begin from the outside. External penetration testing simulates an attacker trying to gain access from the internet. This type of test targets public-facing systems like firewalls, web servers, and remote access points. It is like a digital burglar checking the locks on your front door. The main goal is to find out how vulnerable your systems are to threats coming from outside […]
