The recent breach of the European Commission’s cloud infrastructure was contained quickly enough that Europa.eu websites stayed online throughout. By most visible measures, it looked like a limited incident. The forensic picture that has emerged since tells a different story. CERT-EU published its technical breakdown on April 3. Attackers acquired an AWS API key on March 19 through the […]
Cloud data encryption is supposed to be a solved problem. Organisations have been investing in data security for years, deploying platform after platform, and signing off on security budgets that continue to increase. And yet the 2026 Thales Data Threat Report, published last month and based on a survey of 3,120 IT and security professionals worldwide, […]
Almost every organisation running cloud-native systems has been hit by a security incident in the past year. The causes are less dramatic than the frequency suggests, according to Red Hat’s 2026 State of Cloud-Native Security Report, published on March 24. It states that 97% of organisations reported at least one cloud-native security incident over the […]
If you are a security leader, you will need to be able to answer the following questions: where is your sensitive data? Who can access it? And is it being used safely? In the age of generative AI, it’s increasingly becoming a struggle to answer all three. An October whitepaper from Concentric AI outlines the […]
Large financial institutions rarely overhaul their technology in one dramatic move. Change tends to happen in stages, with systems gradually shifted, consolidated, and refined over time. Nationwide Building Society’s expanded cloud services partnership with AWS fits squarely into that pattern. Rather than signalling a new direction, the agreement reflects a decision to go further down […]
For many European organisations, cloud decisions are no longer just about cost, scale, or performance. As companies assess options such as Amazon’s sovereign cloud, choices are increasingly shaped by questions of control: where data sits, who can access it, and how exposed critical systems are to foreign laws and political pressure. That tension helps explain […]
For years, sovereign cloud discussions focused on geography. Data had to stay inside a country. Infrastructure had to sit within defined borders. Control was assumed to follow location. That model is starting to break down. AI workloads, distributed applications, and stricter oversight rules are pushing organisations to rethink what sovereignty actually means in practice. Data […]
In many organisations, online meetings have taken the place of many gatherings that previously would have taken place in-person. The enforced home-working of the COVID epidemic kick-started the trend, and many now turn to an online platform to collaborate, interview, exchange ideas, and even socialise with colleagues in professional contexts. A new collaboration between cybersecurity […]
