He emphasized that the distinction between soft and hard targets is becoming increasingly blurred, particularly in the context of concert venues, where large gatherings are being exploited by terrorists. John highlighted the importance of diligent intelligence gathering, vigilant monitoring of social media and the dark web, and the deployment of emerging technologies to detect and mitigate such threats effectively.

A report by Darktrace revealed that many digital threats in the first half of 2024 extensively used malware-as-a-service (#MaaS) tools. The report also highlights the rise of "double extortion" in #ransomware attacks, where attackers encrypt and exfiltrate #data, threatening to publish it unless the ransom is paid. Matthew Corwin shares his expert opinion on the matter stating, “DLP implementation for all endpoints and other cloud assets should include data classification, policy enforcement, real-time blocking, quarantining, and alerting."

Technology has become an integral part of modern life, making it easier and more efficient. However, it became a central point of failure that if not implemented, managed, backed up, and controlled properly could cause devastating crisis and operation failure. It’s essential to have an IT change management plan that includes a testing environment, failover plan, and business continuity steps.

The U.K. Court of Appeal recently ruled that the National Crime Agency's refusal to investigate the importation of cotton produced using Uyghur forced labor in China was unlawful. This ruling potentially increases #legalrisks for companies and #financialinstitutions involved in such trade, as they could face #moneylaundering investigations and other legal consequences. The decision brings the U.K. closer to the positions of the EU and the U.S. and their efforts to ban products made with forced labor and ensure corporate responsibility for human rights and #environmental practices. In the following blog, Ian Pillinger emphasizes the importance of performing thorough #supplychain #duediligence to protect business operations from risk factors, including forced labor and other human rights violations.
