Mind the Gap
There is a significant gap between the security of systems and data in most organisations, and the sophistication of cyberattacks that seem, these days, to strike more and more frequently; and with increasingly severe consequences.

We all exist in the shadow of cybersecurity.

And these are just a handful of the latest stories. Back in 1982, the CIA found a way to disrupt the operation of a Siberian gas pipeline by embedding a code in the control operating system. The fire was visible from the space. Six years later, hackers targeted the US military, the Pentagon, the Department of Energy, and NASA in attacks that persisted for nearly two years.
