The UK's National Cyber Security Centre says it's in the planning stages of bringing a new suite of services to its existing Active Cyber Defence program. Existing services under ACD 1.0 such as Logging Made Easy and Protective DNS are already run by external partners - CISA and Cloudflare respectively - but some, such as Early Warning, can only ever be run by the NCSC due to their very nature.
A future-oriented cyber defense is therefore not about getting ahead, but about building systems that are inherently more likely to function when components or other systems become compromised, as they inevitably will, sooner or later. Traffic lights "Fail safe" to red, reducing risks of collisions when the system stalls for any reason.
As cyber threats loom large and data breaches continue to pose increasingly significant risks. Organizations and industries that handle sensitive information and valuable assets make prime targets...

There’s a natural human desire to avoid threatening scenarios. The irony, of course, is if you hope to attain any semblance of security, you’ve got to remain prepared to confront those very same...
Among Gartner's top predictions are the collapse of the cybersecurity skills gap and the reduction of employee-driven cybersecurity incidents through the adoption of generative AI. Two-thirds of global 100 organizations are expected to extend directors' and officers' insurance to cybersecurity leaders due to personal legal exposure. "As we start moving beyond what's possible with GenAI, solid opportunities are emerging to help solve a number of perennial issues plaguing cybersecurity, particularly the skills shortage and unsecure human behavior. The scope of the top predictions this year is clearly not on technology, as the human element continues to gain far more attention. Any CISO looking to build an effective and sustainable cybersecurity program must make this a priority," said Deepti Gopal, Director Analyst at Gartner.
Instead of investing time in formulating non-binding pledges rather than working on actionable solutions, the US Government should adopt a more proactive stance by directly procuring advanced cybersecurity tools. By spearheading the implementation, through investment and education, the government can set a powerful example for the private sector to follow, thereby reinforcing the nation's cyber infrastructure.
Humans are complex beings with consciousness, emotions, and the capacity to act based on thoughts. In the ever-evolving realm of cybersecurity, humans consistently remain primary targets for...
