Why mTLS is Moving Beyond Public Certificates

In my day-to-day work, I sometimes come across requests that sound quite straightforward at first: “We need an SSL/TLS certificate for server-to-server communication, and it needs to support both Server and Client Authentication.” A few years ago, this may not have raised too many questions. Today, however, the answer isn’t quite as straightforward. This is due to changes across the public

AI Is Becoming the New Shadow IT

Shadow IT is not a new problem. For years, organisations have dealt with employees signing up for cloud storage, messaging platforms and other applications without going through the usual IT approval process.

The Hidden Security Cost of Technical Debt

A business application may function normally for years, yet hidden technical debt may accumulate behind the scenes. When a vulnerability is flagged in an application, or a third-party library/application releases a new version, teams sometimes implement a workaround first rather than updating the library for a permanent fix. These decisions can make sense at the time. The cost becomes visible when

Why Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Is Important

Cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and organisations face growing challenges in protecting critical information and systems. While passwords remain the most common method of authentication, they are vulnerable to attacks such as phishing, credential theft, password spraying, and data breaches. As a result, relying solely on passwords is no longer sufficient to protect business applications, networks, and cloud services. Multi-Factor

Why Post-Quantum Cryptography Matters Today

A while back, I was explaining encryption to my colleague and used this analogy: “Your data today is locked inside a really strong safe.” That’s still true, but here’s the part people don’t think about: What if someone is already copying that same safe and is waiting for the day they can open it?   That’s essentially what’s happening with quantum
