1. When AI Becomes the Adversary

The headlines are full of stories about AI, but have you considered what it means for your business’s security? In this article, we dive into how AI is being used by hackers and why traditional security strategies are no longer enough.

As cyber threats get more complex, the role of artificial intelligence in both defending and attacking digital systems is becoming impossible to ignore. In this blog, we explore the shifting cybersecurity landscape through the lens of Jane Frankland MBE’s article, “When Prevention Fails: How Hackers and AI are Forcing a Cybersecurity Rethink. 

Drawing on our ISO 27001 expertise, we reflect on how AI is reshaping the threat model and why traditional prevention strategies are no longer enough. This piece offers practical insights into how organisations can evolve their internal audits, incident response, and cyber resilience planning.

2. Reflections from Infosecurity Europe 2025

In June, cybersecurity leaders gathered in London for the 30th edition of Infosecurity Europe. The message was clear: the threat landscape is evolving fast, and so must our defences. From geopolitical tensions to advanced threat actor tactics, the sessions were packed with insights that matter to every UK organisation. Here, we share key takeaways from the event, including highlights from the NCSC’s keynote on “The Cyber Cold War? Geopolitics Driving Cyber Threat,” and what it all means for your ISO 27001 strategy and internal audit planning.

3. Cyber Threats Are Evolving Fast

In this blog, we breakdown the most critical findings from the Huntress Threat Report and share Inavate’s expert take on what these trends mean for the second half of 2025. From AI-powered malware to the misuse of trusted IT tools, we explore how organisations can strengthen their defences through practical action, smarter internal audits, and a more adaptive approach to ISO27001 compliance.

4. Internal Audits: The Unsung Heroes of ISO 27001 Compliance

Think of internal audits as just a compliance checklist? Think again. A well-executed internal audit is one of the most powerful tools you have to strengthen your security posture. It’s a strategic asset that supports smarter decision-making, builds trust with your clients, and drives long-term resilience. In this blog, we explore why internal audits matter more than ever and how to make them work for your business.

5. Why Cybersecurity Training Is Your Strongest Defence

Firewalls and encryption might protect your systems, but it’s your people who protect your business. In this article, we explore why cybersecurity training is no longer optional and how one click from an untrained employee can undo even the most advanced defences. If you’re serious about building a resilient, security-aware culture, this is a must-read.
