Cyber Heard

A fractional CTO explains why most organisations adopt AI top-down for the wrong reasons, how ungoverned use of AI tools is creating a new class of data breach nobody has priced in, and why defenders operating at the speed of policy will always trail criminals operating at the speed of code.

A long-time outsourced CISO explains why vulnerability backlogs pile up, why supplier questionnaires often achieve little, and why a single cyber risk number gives boards false comfort.

A fractional CTO explains why AI's productivity gains are more modest than the hype suggests, why the same speed can quietly create serious security risks, and why cyber and operational risk need to be managed together.

Andy Bates unpacks what digital sovereignty actually means, why boards are fixating on AI while neglecting cyber basics.

Richard Bennett explains why he thinks true artificial intelligence does not yet exist, and what that means for how organisations should think about agentic AI risk. He sets out why observability, orchestration and governance matter more than chasing the latest AI tool.
