Securing information and preserving sensitive data is of the utmost significance in today’s interconnected digital environment. A complete and reliable security framework for organisations is designed and implemented in large part thanks to security architecture. The goal of this article is to give readers a thorough grasp of security architecture, as well as its importance and important factors. Defining Security…
What is Cloud Security? Cloud security refers to the set of methods, practises, and technologies used to protect data, applications, and infrastructure in cloud computing environments. Cloud computing provides various advantages, including scalability, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. However, because of the spread structure of resources and reliance on third-party suppliers, it creates new security challenges. Cloud security includes a variety of…
The terms data protection and data privacy are frequently used interchangeably, however, there is a significant distinction between the two. Data privacy defines who has access to data, whereas data protection provides tools and rules to actually limit access to the data. Compliance requirements help ensure that firms honour users’ privacy requests, and companies are responsible for taking precautions to…
In an increasingly digitised healthcare sector, hospitals confront an increased threat of cyber security breaches that jeopardise patient data and disrupt vital operations. It is critical to protect sensitive patient information while also adhering to regulatory obligations. Establishing a strong cybersecurity and compliance plan is critical for hospitals to protect patient data, maintain confidence, and provide uninterrupted healthcare services. In…
The rise of email as a communication tool has brought both convenience and security problems. While email has transformed how we communicate and conduct business, it has also become a playground for hackers looking to abuse naïve individuals and organisations. Fortunately, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a formidable friend in the ongoing battle to secure our inboxes. In this…
The rise of digital connectivity has brought immense benefits to society, but it has also introduced new and evolving cyber risks. Among the most destructive threats in recent years is ransomware, a type of attack that encrypts critical files and demands payment for their release. These attacks don’t discriminate—individuals, entrepreneurs, and large organizations alike have found themselves locked out of…
Cyber warfare is typically described as a cyberattack or series of cyber strikes targeted at a certain nation.

However, there is a dispute among cyber security professionals over what constitutes cyber warfare. The US Department of Defense (DoD) recognizes…
Google has laid off 12,000 employees. Amazon and Microsoft have laid off a total of 28,000 employees. Twitter has apparently laid off 5,200 employees. Meta (Facebook, etc.) laid off 11,000. This is simply the tech behemoths and practically all of the employees searching for new jobs are, by definition, tech-savvy – and some will be cyber security experts. Layoffs are…
Ransomware assaults in following years of COVID-19 have revealed how increasingly at-risk companies are, regardless of size, maturity, industry, or country. The use of malicious software to encrypt and/or exfiltrate a target’s data and then demand payment under the threat of sharing it with the world or making it permanently inaccessible increased by nearly 150% in March of last year,…
How can society maximize the advantages provided by generative artificial intelligence (AI) while minimizing the possible drawbacks, especially the unknown cybersecurity risks? This is where ENISA, the cybersecurity agency of the European Union, comes in. On Wednesday, ENISA organized a symposium in Brussels with the stated goal of discussing “key elements of cybersecurity in AI systems as well as challenges…
