Upcoming Events

We've entered an era where cybersecurity leaders are being forced to rethink some preconceived notions.

In 2025, there was encouraging news: organizations were beginning to reduce the cost and impact of cyber incidents through greater use of security automation and AI-powered tools. It appeared defenders were finally gaining ground.

Fast forward one year, and the landscape has changed dramatically.

According to IBM's 2026 Cost of a Data Breach Report, AI-driven cyberattacks increased by 56% year over year, while the global average cost of a data breach climbed 12% to nearly USD $5 million. AI-enabled breaches now cost organizations approximately $1 million more than the average breach.

The message is clear: cybercriminals are rapidly adopting AI, and they are moving at machine speed.

In today’s digital age, businesses and individuals alike are increasingly reliant on technology. While this brings numerous benefits, it also exposes us to a growing array of cyber threats. From data breaches to ransomware attacks, the potential risks are vast and can have devastating consequences.

According to the 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report released by IBM, there was a 10% jump in the average cost of a data breach worldwide as compared to the previous year, at a staggering $4.88 million USD. The worst part is the negative domino effect this can result in. The report further states that more than half of the organizations surveyed said they are passing the added costs onto their customers, thus leading to a widespread increase in good and services all around. Having cyber insurance can help offset some of those costs incurred as a result of a data breach, thus minimizing your downtime and potentially avoiding the need to defer these costs to the customer. 

Let’s explore in more detail why having cyber insurance is crucial in this generation.

Upgrading aging infrastructure can be a dauting task, but is essential for maintaining business continuity, enhancing operational efficiency, and securing competitive advantage. Outdated systems often suffer from performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and incompatibility with modern software. By investing in new technology, businesses can improve productivity, reduce downtime, mitigate risks, and unlock opportunities enabled by emerging technologies, ultimately driving growth and innovation. In this post, we'll talk specifically about the benefits of upgrading from a previous version of IBM's Power Systems to the latest Power10. 

Evolving threats, evolving tools: As cybercrime gets smarter, attackers leverage advanced technologies to build sophisticated malware and vulnerability scanners for their intended targets - this is known as the reconnaissance phase - the quiet before the storm, so to speak. Would-be attackers use various tools to understand the target’s networks and systems to determine the possible entry points and exploitable vulnerabilities.

In this post, we explore what the reconnaissance phase is and how to overcome it. 

In today's digital age, the importance of protecting your data from cyber threats and disasters cannot be overstated. Two key components of any comprehensive data protection plan are cyber recovery and disaster recovery. While these terms may sound similar, they serve distinct purposes and play unique roles in safeguarding your valuable information.
