Strategic Thinking for Cyber Resilience: The Six Thinking Hats in VAPT

by

Cybersecurity is no longer the exclusive domain of IT departments; it is now a strategic business imperative for every boardroom. For C-Suite executives, understanding and managing cyber risk has become a matter of business survival, competitive advantage, and brand reputation. Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), while technical in nature, must be approached with strategic foresight to ensure it delivers measurable value.
Enter Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats—a powerful decision-making and innovation framework that enables multifaceted thinking. When applied to VAPT, this method provides executives with a structured way to evaluate cybersecurity investments, strategies, and risks from every critical angle. This article explores the integration of the Six Thinking Hats with VAPT planning, implementation, and optimisation.

Agentic AI Systems: The Rise of Over-Autonomous Security Risks

by

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a tool—it’s becoming a decision-maker. With the emergence of Agentic AI Systems—AI with the ability to independently plan, act, and adapt across complex tasks—organisations are entering uncharted territory. While this autonomy promises operational efficiency, it also introduces over-autonomous risks that challenge traditional cybersecurity protocols.
For C-Suite executives and penetration testers alike, understanding the evolution of AI from a predictive model to a proactive actor is no longer optional—it’s imperative. The very qualities that make agentic systems powerful—initiative, goal-seeking behaviour, and environmental awareness—also make them vulnerable to sophisticated threats and capable of causing unintentional damage.

The Dark Web Economy: How Hackers Monetise Your Breach

by

In an age of relentless digital transformation, your organisation’s data is currency — and hackers are the brokers. Beneath the surface of the internet lies a thriving, unregulated marketplace known as the Dark Web — a parallel economy where breached, stolen credentials, intellectual property, zero-day exploits, and malware-as-a-service offerings change hands like commodities.

The Dark Web is a portion of the internet that is purposefully hidden and inaccessible via standard web browsers. It requires anonymising tools such as Tor or I2P to access, and it hosts forums, marketplaces, and communication channels used for everything from whistleblowing to cybercrime.

Information Security in the AI Era: Evolve Faster Than the Threats or Stay Behind

by

In the corporate boardrooms and security operation centres of the 2020s, a new battlefront has emerged—cybersecurity in the AI era. The transformation is not subtle. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer ahead of its time aspiration but a present-day force—amplifying threats and simultaneously offering powerful countermeasures. The question for today’s leadership isn’t whether AI will affect cybersecurity—it already has. The pressing challenge is: how quickly can your organisation evolve to match or outpace AI-enhanced adversaries?
