When Defense becomes Dialogue: The Problem with LLM Security

For about thirty years, security has rested on the assumption that the measures guarding your systems do not have opinions. A firewall does not care how politely you ask it to open a port. An SQL filter does not weigh the context of a query before deciding whether to pass it through. An authentication check does not get distracted or talked round. You either present the right credential or you do not, and the answer is the same every time you ask.

What You Need to Know About Perimeter Security

Your perimeter is the first thing an intruder sees and often the last line of defence before they reach what really matters. Yet for many organisations, a cohesive perimeter security solution remains overlooked. If you're responsible for protecting a site with a wide footprint or high-value assets, understanding modern perimeter security is vital. We cover what you need to know when choosing a perimeter security solution, from the core challenges facing exposed sites to the capabilities that define an effective solution, and the sectors where it matters most.

The 7 Compliance Failures That Sink Healthcare and Telehealth Apps Before Launch

Most healthcare apps don't fail because the code is bad. They fail because compliance was treated as a final checklist instead of a foundational design constraint. By the time the issue surfaces, the architecture is already locked, the budget is already spent, and the launch date is already public.

9 Signs It Might Be Time To Upgrade Your iPhone

Your iPhone is also your camera, planner, entertainment hub, and connection to the world. But like all technology, it doesn't stay cutting-edge forever. If you've been wondering whether your current device is still pulling its weight, there are clear signs it may be time for an upgrade. And with an array of flexible options, upgrading your phone can be easier and more affordable than you might think.

Hybrid Team Security After the VPN Switch: A Field Playbook

Hybrid work security breaks when teams pretend every remote session starts from a clean, controlled network. It does not. People connect from home routers with old firmware, from shared family devices, from hotel Wi-Fi where nobody can tell you who else is sitting on the same access point. A VPN tunnel helps protect traffic in transit, yes, but that is only one slice of the risk surface. If the endpoint is weak or the account is compromised, the tunnel just carries bad traffic more privately. Start with an exposure map before buying more tools. List where people actually work, which devices they use, which apps they touch daily, and which actions would cause real damage if abused. Then rank those flows by business impact. I think teams skip this because it feels less exciting than deploying software, but this map is what keeps programs grounded. Without it, controls get placed where they are easy, not where they matter, and attackers find the same blind spots over and over.

The Hidden Security Risks of Mobile Workforce Applications in Field Operations

Mobile workforce applications are a $7+ billion market, forming the backbone of modern field service, but they are also becoming the primary targets of sophisticated cyberattacks. For a field technician, a mobile device is a tool, like a wrench or a multimeter, yet it holds the keys to your entire customer database and internal financial records.

Top tips: How you can shrink the time between a vulnerability and an attack

Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what’s trending in the tech world and share ways to stay ahead. This week, we’re looking at how the gap between a vulnerability and an attack is shrinking rapidly. A vulnerability is discovered. It could be a small bug, a missed update, or a gap in how a system is configured. It gets reported, documented, and sometimes even publicly disclosed. For a long time, there used to be an extended window between discovery and attack.
