targets for state-sponsored

were historically viewed as
‘safe’ due to their isolation from
the internet. However, they are
now increasingly connected
via IP networks, exposing

predicts that by 2025, more
than 50% of the workforce
will use passwordless
authentication methods,
improving both security and
user experience. However,
with the rapid advancement
of AI and the increasing
sophistication of deepfake
technology, there is growing
speculation over whether voice
recognition and 昀椀ngerprint
systems will continue to
provide an adequate means
of authentication.
As organisations increasingly
depend on third-party
vendors, supply chains have
become prime targets for
cybercriminals over the past
several years. Businesses
must shift away from simple
binary questionnaires and
checkbox compliance
towards more comprehensive
security strategies to address
vulnerabilities within their
supply chains. The World
Economic Forum has indicated
