Cryptographic Failures: Understanding Risks, Implications, and Mitigations for the C-Suite

by

Cryptography is the science of securing information and communications by encoding data so that only authorised parties can access it. Cryptographic mechanisms underpin various corporate processes, from securing customer data and enabling secure transactions to protecting intellectual property and ensuring secure internal communications. As businesses digitise their operations, cryptography becomes a cornerstone of data protection and regulatory compliance.

Cryptographic failures occur when encryption mechanisms fail to secure data as intended. This can happen due to flaws in cryptographic protocols, poor implementation, or the use of obsolete algorithms.

Key Recovery Attacks: Safeguarding Encryption Keys in the Digital Age

by

Key recovery attacks refer to attempts by malicious actors to retrieve encryption keys used to secure data within an organisation. By obtaining these keys, attackers can decrypt sensitive information, impersonate legitimate users, or perform unauthorised operations, leading to potential data breaches and other cyber risks. These attacks typically target encryption keys stored insecurely, in compromised systems, or within weakly protected environments.

Exploitation of Zero-Day Vulnerabilities: A Critical Threat for CISOs

by

Zero-day vulnerabilities refer to security flaws in software or hardware that are unknown to the vendor. Until the vulnerability is discovered and patched, it remains a potential entry point for attackers to exploit. The term “zero-day” reflects the number of days the vendor has had to address the flaw—zero. Consequently, zero-day attacks are challenging to defend against because they exploit vulnerabilities before any fix is available, making them prime opportunities for cybercriminals.

The Role of a Board of Directors: A Strategic Asset for Corporate Governance

by

Boards typically comprise a mix of internal directors (executives from within the company) and external directors (independent individuals unconnected to the organisation). This blend ensures a balance of insights—insiders bring deep organisational knowledge, while outsiders contribute objectivity and fresh perspectives.

Client Acquisition Costs (CAC): A Comprehensive Guide for MSMEs

by

Client Acquisition Costs (CAC) are crucial for any business, but they are especially important for MSMEs. CAC measures the total cost of acquiring new clients, including all marketing, sales, and customer onboarding expenses.
There are two main ways to calculate CAC. The first method is dividing the total cost of acquiring new clients by the number of new clients. The second method is to divide the total cost of marketing and sales by the number of new customers acquired.
