Cybersecurity Mistakes Accounting Firms Keep Making (And How to Fix Them)

Tax season brings a predictable surge in phishing emails targeting accounting professionals. The messages look like client requests, IRS notifications, or software update alerts. They are crafted specifically for firms that handle sensitive financial data under deadline pressure, because attackers know that pressure creates mistakes.

LDAP: What it is, how it works, and why it matters for your network authentication

As organizations continue to adopt more applications and digital services, managing user authentication across multiple systems has become increasingly challenging. When user accounts are distributed across multiple platforms, provisioning and revoking access can become both time-consuming and difficult to manage. Ultimately, this increases the risk of unauthorized access and unmanaged credentials.

Compliance and Regulation Heat Up in 2026: A New Phase of Scrutiny for Financial Services Organisations

The regulatory landscape facing financial services in 2026 is more complex, more demanding, and faster moving than at any point in the past decade. Across the UK, regulators are attempting to strike a delicate balance of stimulating economic growth while maintaining strong consumer protection and financial stability. This balancing act is unfolding against a backdrop of sluggish economic performance, geopolitical uncertainty, and political pressure for "pro-growth" regulation. The result is a regulatory environment where the pace, scope, and intensity of change is accelerating sharply.

EASM Buyer's Guide 2026: How to Choose the Right Solution for Your Organization

Your external attack surface is bigger than you think, and probably bigger than it was last quarter. Cloud sprawl, third-party integrations, abandoned subdomains, and shadow IT all add up to an internet-facing footprint that’s hard to track manually. External attack surface management (EASM) tools give security teams continuous visibility over that footprint, from the same vantage point an attacker would use.

CMMC Enclave vs Enterprise-Wide Scope Cost Tradeoffs

One of the biggest decisions you need to make when you’re planning a CMMC implementation is which strategy you’re going to use. Your options are enterprise-wide security or an enclave strategy. Now, we’ve talked about these two options before. Rather than a general guide, though, today we want to look at the factor most likely to drive your decision: costs.

MCP Security: How to Secure MCP Integrations

AI agents are connecting to enterprise systems right now. Whether a developer wired up Claude to an internal Confluence instance, a vendor shipped an agentic workflow that calls the CRM, or an employee enabled a browser-based AI assistant that reads email, Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly becoming the integration layer between large language models (LLMs) and corporate data. Most security teams have no visibility into any of it.

Why Government Legislation on Security Is Failing (Badly)

Government legislation on online safety, age verification and encryption is being written without consulting cybersecurity professionals. The result is legislation that doesn't work and creates massive security risks. Age verification companies are failing spectacularly - people bypass them with smiley faces on thumbs and AI face-meshing. Encryption backdoors don't just let governments in, they let malicious actors in too. VPN age verification is technically impossible. OS-level age verification would require banning Linux, which runs most of the internet.
