With expertise in AI, machine learning, and blockchain, Dominic Jainy has a unique vantage point on the evolving landscape of corporate risk. In our conversation, we explore the seismic shifts in executive concerns, where the persistent threat of cyber-fraud now overshadows ransomware. We delve into why the most resilient companies are already looking past today’s scams to the emerging dangers
Recent analysis reveals a startling 15% surge in Business Email Compromise attacks over the past year, signaling a significant escalation in a threat that already costs businesses billions globally, and this is not merely an increase in volume but a marked evolution in criminal methodology. Cybercriminals are now moving beyond simple, opportunistic emails and are orchestrating sophisticated, multi-stage social engineering
A new and insidious evolution in phishing tactics has emerged, weaponizing the very cloud infrastructure that organizations depend on for daily operations and effectively turning digital trust into a vulnerability. Cybercriminals are increasingly moving away from easily identifiable, newly registered domains and are instead embedding their malicious operations within the legitimate, highly reputable environments of major cloud service providers. This
The long-held assumption that attacks against artificial intelligence are limited to clever but isolated tricks is rapidly becoming one of the most dangerous misconceptions in modern cybersecurity. As organizations race to embed Large Language Models (LLMs) into their core operations, a far more menacing threat has emerged from the shadows. Sophisticated, multi-stage malware campaigns, now dubbed “promptware,” are actively exploiting
The digital battlefield’s clock ticks in microseconds, a pace at which human-led security teams, despite their expertise, are increasingly outmatched by the relentless speed and scale of automated threats. In this environment, traditional, human-led penetration testing struggles to keep pace, creating a critical gap in security validation. A new paradigm is emerging to close this gap: Autonomous Penetration Testing, a
The recent discovery of MonetaStealer, a sophisticated macOS malware that achieved an unprecedented zero-detection rate upon its initial analysis, serves as a stark confirmation of a trend that cybersecurity experts have long feared. This incident is not just another data point in the endless stream of cyber threats; it represents a fundamental shift in how malware is created and deployed.
The modern battlefield is undergoing a profound metamorphosis, where the strategic value of autonomous systems is rapidly becoming as crucial as the human soldiers who operate alongside them. In this new paradigm, robotics has emerged as a foundational tool, not merely for automation but for maintaining operational superiority and driving innovation in a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape. This analysis will
The fundamental equation of cybersecurity has been irrevocably altered, creating a critical and escalating disparity known as the “speed mismatch.” This concept defines the dangerous and widening gap between the operational tempo of sophisticated cyber adversaries and the validation cadence of organizational security teams. While attackers now leverage automation to operate at machine speed, relentlessly probing digital defenses around the
The digital battlefield is no longer confined to cyberspace; it now extends into the very infrastructure that powers modern defense, making cloud modernization a paramount strategic objective. The strategic imperative for defense agencies to modernize is no longer a choice but a necessity for maintaining a competitive edge in a data-driven world. The recent cloud agreement between the United Kingdom’s
The very software designed to maintain and secure corporate networks is now being systematically turned against them, creating a new and insidious threat that bypasses traditional defenses with alarming ease. Threat actors have shifted their focus, recognizing that the path of least resistance often runs through legitimate, trusted applications. This marks a critical inflection point in cybersecurity, where the abuse
The very fabric of digital security is being rewoven by an artificial intelligence that acts as both the primary weapon of cyber attackers and the most sophisticated shield for defenders, creating an unprecedented and complex risk environment for organizations globally. This year marks a critical turning point where the speed of technological advancement in cybercrime is dramatically outstricing the pace
The most dangerous threats in cyberspace are no longer the ones that announce their presence with a bang, but those that whisper their commands using the trusted tools already inside a network’s walls. This shift marks a critical turning point in cybersecurity, where malware increasingly “hides in plain sight” by impersonating legitimate system activity. As traditional signature-based security measures struggle
