The evolution of artificial intelligence has been rapid thus far. By 2030 the AI market is projected to reach $1.81 trillion. Technology supported by AI has been useful in many areas of life such as education, healthcare, or finance. That is reflected by the rate of AI adoption by organizations being 72% (2024). Even if you just look around you – many people use tools like ChatGPT for daily life or work, AI helps with email management or studying. What do these advancements in AI bring to DevOps?

Throughout this blog, we often write about both FedRAMP and CMMC as cybersecurity frameworks applied to the federal government and its contractors. These frameworks share a lot of the same DNA stemming from the same resources, and they share the same goal of making the federal government more secure. One significant question you may have, though, is one of practicality. Do CMMC and FedRAMP have reciprocity?

As cyber threats evolve in scale and sophistication, governments and regulatory bodies are tightening cybersecurity and data protection regulations. Compliance is not only about avoiding fines but also about building trust, enhancing operational resilience, and safeguarding long-term business success. Data breaches and cyberattacks can disrupt operations and as such, organisations should prioritise compliance to mitigate financial and legal risks whilst fostering customer confidence.

The original NIS Directive came into force in 2016 as the EU’s first comprehensive law governing cybersecurity in member states. As part of its key policy objective to make Europe “fit for the digital age,” the European Commission proposed in December 2020 that NIS be revised, and NIS2 entered into force in January of 2023. Member states were required to transpose it into law by October 17, 2024.

The European Union (EU) Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2) introduces stricter cybersecurity requirements than its predecessor, the original NIS Directive. With the compliance deadline fast approaching, in-scope organizations must take proactive steps to ensure they have enacted NIS2 requirements, thereby strengthening their security posture.

Threat-led penetration testing brings together specialist offensive (red team) security skills and threat intelligence to enable businesses to proactively test and identify any weaknesses, deficiencies or gaps in their controls and counteractive measures that could be exploited by threat actors. In this article, we set out what threat-led pen testing is, how it relates to the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the testing requirements included as part of the new EU regulation.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework established by the US Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) implement robust cybersecurity measures. As CMMC becomes a key requirement for defense contractors, higher education institutions engaged in research or contracts with the DoD must also comply with its standards.

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) sets strict requirements to ensure that financial institutions operating in Switzerland maintain robust security and operational resilience. FINMA’s guidelines are crucial for protecting sensitive financial data, minimizing risks, and maintaining trust in the Swiss financial ecosystem. As part of that, software supply chain security plays an essential role in meeting these compliance requirements.

Healthcare organizations managing multiple websites must protect Protected Health Information (PHI) while complying with HIPAA, HHS regulations, state laws, and global privacy requirements.
