5 Trends Impacting Cyber Security in Education in 2026

Cyber security has become a core operational and safeguarding issue across the education sector. The 2025 UK GOV Cyber Security Breaches Survey makes this clear, revealing that education remains highly targeted. At a time when cloud platforms, digital learning and online communication underpin day-to-day operations, threat actors are exploiting persistent gaps in infrastructure, training and […]

Cyber Resilience Vs Cyber Security

Cyber Resilience vs Cyber Security: Why Your Business Needs Both Understanding the Difference For years, cyber security has focused on prevention to keep attackers out. These measures remain essential, but through our experience of over 200 ransomware recoveries the reality is clear: no organisation can guarantee complete protection. Cyber attacks are becoming more targeted, sophisticated, […]

Why Traditional Data Backups Aren’t Enough

How Immutable Storage and Anomaly Detection Are Transforming Data Security When it comes to data protection, the rules have changed. Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, downtime is more expensive than ever, and many organisations are discovering that traditional backup strategies alone are no longer enough. While backups remain essential, modern resilience requires a smarter […]

Why Slow Data Recovery Is Your Biggest Cyber Resilience Risk

Can You Recover Fast Enough? Recovery isn’t just about whether systems can be restored, it’s about how quickly they can be restored. If recovery takes weeks, the delay and loss of access can be as damaging as the incident itself. Ultimately, recovery speed determines whether a disruption is manageable or business-threatening. Why Rapid Recovery Really Matters Today, recovery isn’t about restoring data eventually. It’s about restoring access quickly […]

From Backup to Built-in Resilience

If Your Organisation Was Hit by a Cyber Attack Tomorrow, Would You Be Ready? When we talk about cyber security, prevention usually dominates the conversation. But when an attack actually happens, one question matters more than any other: can your business recover? Why Backup Strategy Determines Resilience Backup strategies deserve far more attention than they […]

Misconfigurations

Security misconfigurations often fly under the radar because they’re not as immediately visible as a glaring software vulnerability or a high-profile zero-day exploit. However, they can be just as dangerous – if not more so. A misconfiguration is essentially a security setting that has been incorrectly or incompletely set up, leaving a door open for […]

Bridging the Human Factor

When discussing cybersecurity, it’s easy to get caught up in the latest technologies: state-of-the-art firewalls, AI-driven threat intelligence, and advanced endpoint protection. However, a robust security posture isn’t just about hardware and software – it also hinges on people. Humans can be your greatest security asset, but they can also be your most significant vulnerability. […]

The Unseen Vulnerabilities

Organisations, both large and small, face a growing number of security challenges. Many security measures traditionally focus on adding new technology layers – firewalls, antivirus tools, endpoint detection systems, and so on. Yet, while these solutions remain critical, there is a different angle that often goes unnoticed: the hidden or “unseen” vulnerabilities known as security […]

Understanding the Kill Chain: Action on Objections

The final stage of the Cyber Kill Chain, action on objectives, represents the culmination of an attacker’s efforts. At this stage, attackers attempt to achieve their goals, which could include data theft, deploying ransomware, causing system damage, or establishing long-term persistence within the network. This is the point where an attack has the greatest potential […]

Understanding the Kill Chain: Command and Control

In the command and control (C2) stage of the Cyber Kill Chain, attackers establish a communication channel between themselves and the compromised systems. This channel acts as a lifeline, enabling attackers to control infected devices, exfiltrate data, and deploy additional payloads. Without a reliable C2 connection, attackers lose the ability to operate within the target […]
