Who's watching you online?
Data breaches targeting high profile individuals are becoming more and more regular: coupled with the increase in internet devices at home, the likelihood is also that such breaches are going to become more and more intimate.

Counter-fraud is the new arms race
The financial and reputational losses of individual crimes of fraud and malfeasance are increasing: as organisations are deploying more means of detection and prevention, they are not alone. The tools and techniques used by organised criminality and malicious insiders are becoming ever more sophisticated and complex. Is it time to go back to basics?

An anatomy of a world which is losing control
Recent events in Turkey have demonstrated three things: a split military which does not have enough control to take the country, a president that does not have enough control to prevent a coup, and a world which does not have enough control to understand and interpret the volumes of 'fact' and 'opinion' created by such a shock. So what next?

To build capacity, dismantle the challenge.
Governments invest huge amounts of money in security training and capacity building. But it’s our contention that a lot of that money is being spent inefficiently.

Why investing in the front line adds value to the top line
It’s easy to think of strategic security as a sunk cost – necessary expenditure it may be, but a recoupable value-add to the business, it would often appear not.

When does tech stop being a risk and start being an opportunity?
We read a lot about how security is threatened through the increased use of technology.

Looks can be deceptive
Though there are regions of the world that are more susceptible to instability, todays’ security landscape is a lot more dispersed and sporadic than the good old days when we could use a cartographer’s pencil to denote a warzone.
