Ransomware is no longer a blunt, opportunistic threat. It has evolved into a sophisticated, multi-layered business model that targets organisations, governments, and critical infrastructure with precision. Once confined to generic “spray-and-pray” campaigns, ransomware now leverages advanced tactics: AI-guided attacks, lateral movement within networks, and double extortion schemes that demand both payment and sensitive data disclosure.…

Cybersecurity has always been a race between attackers and defenders. Historically, humans designed defences and responded to breaches manually. Today, artificial intelligence is tilting that balance. AI isn’t just a defensive tool—it’s becoming a force multiplier for cybersecurity teams, capable of detecting anomalies, predicting threats, and responding faster than any human could. At the same…

For decades, cybersecurity operated on a simple assumption: if you’re inside the network, you can be trusted. That assumption no longer holds. Cloud computing dissolved network perimeters. Remote work shattered office boundaries. SaaS platforms scatter data across vendors. Meanwhile, attackers stopped knocking on the front door and began exploiting credentials, APIs, and software supply chains.…

In the past, software security was someone else’s problem. IT teams managed firewalls, patched servers, and monitored intrusion logs. Developers focused on features, deadlines, and functionality. Today, that separation has all but vanished. Cyberattacks are faster, more sophisticated, and more destructive than ever. From ransomware to supply chain compromises, vulnerabilities in code can cascade globally.…

Data used to sit quietly in filing cabinets. Today, it moves faster than laws, borders, and sometimes even intent. Every click, swipe, biometric scan, and location ping feeds an economy built not just on information—but on prediction. That shift explains why data privacy is no longer a niche legal issue. It’s a global concern touching…

Cybersecurity no longer fails in spectacular explosions. Instead, it erodes quietly—through compromised credentials, poisoned data, and systems that keep running even after attackers slip inside. That subtlety defines the most dangerous cyber threats right now. For years, security teams focused on perimeter defence. However, the modern threat landscape ignores perimeters entirely. Attackers now move laterally,…

Software Fails Quietly—Until It Doesn’t Software rarely collapses dramatically. Instead, it leaks money slowly. A checkout bug reduces conversions. A mobile crash spikes churn. A security flaw invites lawsuits. Individually, these issues seem minor. Collectively, they cost companies millions. This is precisely where software testing earns its keep. Testing doesn’t slow innovation. On the contrary,…

Most cybersecurity disasters don’t begin with a genius hacker exploiting a zero-day vulnerability. Instead, they start quietly—almost invisibly—with a reused password, a delayed software update, or a misplaced assumption that “someone else is handling security.” Despite decades of warnings, billion-dollar breaches, and endless security tooling, the same cybersecurity mistakes continue to undermine even technologically sophisticated…

In early December, a senior analyst at a midsize tech firm found himself staring at a string of logins that didn’t make sense. They weren’t sophisticated exploits — just a familiar email address, an old password, and a location halfway around the globe. Yet within minutes, his company’s internal tools and client dashboards were exposed.…

The Bargain Was Subtle — And That’s Why It Worked At first, the exchange felt harmless. A free app in return for a few permissions.A smarter device in exchange for basic data.A personalised experience for a little transparency. Nothing dramatic. Nothing alarming. Yet, over time, convenience became frictionless—and privacy quietly became negotiable. Not through a…
