Beyond Threat Intelligence: Building the Global Security Decision Engine

Security professionals face an impossible challenge: threats evolve in real-time, but intelligence flows through systems built for a slower world. While adversaries coordinate across domains – launching cyber attacks to support physical operations, or exploiting supply chain vulnerabilities to enable broader campaigns – defenders are often trapped in organizational silos, sharing information through formal channels that can take days or weeks to deliver critical insights. This disconnect between the speed Read more…

The Future of Security Intelligence: From Bottlenecks to Real-Time Collaboration

The Security, Resilience & Defence landscape is evolving at breakneck speed. Physical threats emerge unpredictably, supply chain disruptions cascade globally, critical infrastructure faces new vulnerabilities, and security incidents unfold in real-time across multiple domains. Yet our approach to sharing critical intelligence remains frustratingly antiquated – trapped in a cycle of static reports, periodic briefings, and closed vendor channels that simply cannot keep pace with the modern threat environment. What if Read more…

From Checklist to C-Suite: How AI Could Redefine the Role of Security Consultants

Security risk management (SRM) is broken. Traditional approaches, characterized by compliance checklists, subjective assessments, and qualitative risk ratings, fail to connect security decisions to optimal financial outcomes. While consultants produce impressive binders of findings that gather dust, executives need to understand how security investments directly impact bottom-line performance. This disconnect has often relegated security to a cost center when it should be a strategic financial lever. It’s not always easy Read more…

How AI Can Help Keep You Alive in Hostile Environments

For decades, hostile environment and first aid training (HEFAT) has remained largely unchanged – delivered in-person by ex-military instructors, grounded in practical drills, and scheduled in multi-day blocks that often require extensive travel. While these formats have proven valuable, they are increasingly out of step with the pace, complexity, and demands of today’s risk landscape. From humanitarian responders in conflict zones to journalists in unstable regions, and corporate teams in Read more…

Beyond Barriers: How RIBA and CPTED Integration Creates Safer Built Environments

A thoughtfully designed campus welcomes visitors with clear sightlines and intuitive pathways, while subtly incorporating access control features that protect sensitive areas. Inside, workspace layouts balance openness with security, creating environments where people feel safe without feeling constrained. This seamless integration of security into architectural design represents the powerful synergy between the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) methodology and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. The RIBA Framework: Read more…

From Reactive to Revenue: How the Power of Integrated, Predictive Security Can Drive Sales

For too long, the world of security – both physical and cyber – has often operated in fragmented silos. We’ve seen reactive measures deployed after the fact, physical barriers erected in isolation from digital defenses, and strategies built on assumptions rather than concrete intelligence. But the threat landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, demanding a more holistic and proactive stance. The answer? An intelligence-led, integrated security strategy. This isn’t Read more…

The AI Cyber Arms Race: Brace Yourself for a Surge in Threats

The digital landscape is constantly evolving, and with it, the sophistication of cyber threats. Now, a potent new force is entering the arena: artificial intelligence. A recent report from the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) paints a stark picture, stating that AI will “almost certainly continue to make elements of cyber intrusion operations more effective and efficient, leading to an increase in frequency and intensity of cyber threats.” This Read more…
