Why AI Is a Leadership Challenge – Not a Technology One

By / Blog / , ,

AI challenges organizations to adapt, learn, and transform, requiring leaders to redefine their roles and support their teams through change. Leaders must be outward-facing, shifting from delivering to transforming by questioning work processes and culture. They must also prioritize people, fostering psychological safety and autonomy while combining empathy with organizational design to encourage experimentation and manage risk.

By / Blog / , , ,

Dr Emma Soane argues that an organization's “risk position”—its intentional stance on risk-taking and management—should be regarded as fundamental as its strategy, culture, and leadership. Highlighting examples like Netflix and The Royal Mint, she explains that a clear risk position enables organizations to align risk with strategic goals, foster open risk dialogue, and move beyond viewing risk solely as a compliance issue or threat.

AI Just Solved the Wrong Half of Cybersecurity

By / Blog / ,

The article discusses how AI, exemplified by Anthropic's Claude Mythos, has revolutionized cybersecurity by autonomously discovering thousands of vulnerabilities, including a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD, but highlights a critical issue: while detection has dramatically improved, the capacity to patch and remediate these vulnerabilities remains severely lagging. This “discovery-to-patch gap” presents a major security challenge, especially for open-source projects maintained by small teams, necessitating urgent industry focus on prioritization, remediation speed, and treating AI models themselves as part of the security threat landscape.

Why It’s Time to Stop Blaming Staff for Breaches

By / Blog / , ,

Security awareness training has been widely adopted by companies but has not significantly reduced breaches, largely because it fails to keep pace with sophisticated, AI-driven, personalized phishing attacks. Experts argue that technology must do more to block threats before reaching employees, and training should be targeted, relevant, and supported by a positive security culture that encourages reporting mistakes rather than punishing them.

Vercel’s Breach Is a Warning—”Shadow AI” Risks to CX Are Escalating

By / Blog / , ,

Enterprises' unmonitored use of “shadow AI” tools—where employees independently adopt AI solutions without centralized governance—is escalating security risks that can expose sensitive customer data and disrupt customer experience (CX). The recent Vercel breach, caused by a compromised third-party AI tool connected to an employee account, illustrates how shadow AI can serve as an unguarded access point for cyberattacks, emphasizing the need for enterprises to improve visibility, governance, and coordination between security and customer-facing teams to protect CX effectively.
