On March 11, 2026, the Iranian hacktivist group Handala Hack Team claimed responsibility for compromising the American healthcare technology company Stryker. Public reporting suggests more than 200,000 systems were impacted and up to 50TB of data exfiltrated. While these figures remain unverified, the scale of operational disruption alone places this incident among the most significant enterprise cyber events of the year so far.

On April 28, 2025, a massive power outage affected large areas of the Iberian Peninsula and parts of southern France. Traffic lights, elevators, point-of-sale systems, and many mobile phone and internet networks suddenly stopped functioning. Subways and parts of the rail network ground to a halt. Industrial production and numerous service businesses were interrupted for several hours to a full day.
Handala Hack Team, also stylized as Handala_hack, is a hacktivist threat group aligned with pro-Palestinian messaging and Iranian strategic interests. It emerged in December 2023 following the escalation of the Gaza conflict, shortly after the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, presenting itself as a pro-Palestinian hacktivist collective. Its operations closely mirror Iranian state-linked activity and indicate a focus on disruption and psychological impact rather than financial gain.

On 27 April 2026, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) will officially implement Cyber Essentials v3.3, delivered through a new self-assessment question set known as Danzell, which replaces the previous Willow set. The foundational five technical controls remain the bedrock of the scheme, but this latest iteration tightens wording, scoping, and marking criteria in ways that have immediate consequences.

88% of organizations now regularly use artificial intelligence (AI) in at least one business function. While adoption of AI technologies has accelerated rapidly, security measures often lag. The rush to roll out AI has, in many cases, overshadowed essential testing and safety protocols. This is particularly a worry when AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) become deeply embedded within organizational workflows and systems in a way that most software isn’t.

“We do not store any credit card data, we outsource it. PCI DSS is not relevant for us.” If you think this way, you are not alone, but it is a misconception. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), is designed to enhance the security of credit card data. It applies to all organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data and sensitive authentication data, or that could affect the security of the environment used for such data.

Credential abuse, exploitation of vulnerabilities, or phishing were the initial access vectors in 61% of breaches in 2025, according to Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigation Report. While new threats present fresh challenges to security teams, reports like this highlight that cybercriminals still favor well-established attack methods and exploit familiar weaknesses.

Proactive instead of reactive. Are you tired of hearing that already? This phrase seems to appear in almost every elevator pitch. But when it comes to cybersecurity, anticipating threats is essential. Attackers are more professional, automated, and faster than ever. The damage they cause keeps growing, and the window you have after the first alarm to protect your organization is shrinking.

Have you ever left your home without checking if all the windows were closed? And have you ever sat in the office wondering whether you turned off the stove? When it comes to our own homes, most of us care a lot about safety. But what about corporate IT? Have you turned off the virtual stove and secured all doors and windows against unauthorized access? Do you even know how many doors and windows exist in your IT environment?

Penetration testing is an effective way to detect flaws in your application before they turn into a serious threat, helping you better understand the applications attack surface. But in the always-on economy there comes a problem - traditional pen testing delivery takes weeks to set up and the results are point in time, which leaves critical application vulnerabilities exposed longer than it should - given the average time for a threat actor to weaponize a new vulnerability is only 7 days.

As zero trust moves higher up on the CISOs security agenda we’re hosting a webinar to discuss the pros and cons of adopting this new approach and how it can impact your team’s ability to remain agile, whilst protecting your business. As a recent study demonstrates, 34% of security breaches involved insiders in 2019 meaning CISOs are becoming more likely to consider zero trust and it should come as no surprise that many organizations are now eager to adopt a zero-trust security policy.

More and more companies choose to migrate to a Cloud infrastructure to take advantage of new resources, an elastic storage power and agile deployment, nevertheless IT professionals are not always trained to secure these new technologies. Like traditional infrastructures, a public Cloud infrastructure services requires the implementation of security measures and controls by their users. Enterprises must adapt their security policy to these new technologies to reap the Cloud benefits without increasing their cyberattacks exposure area.
