Rise in fraudulent transactions and behavior across the globe The main question posed coming out of my training on “Crisis Management and Fraud Response Strategies” to an international audience was: how does a company actively put steps in place to prevent or reduce the likelihood of fraud and embezzlement in…
Every regulated organization running AI will tell you they have an audit trail. They’ll point to logs, dashboards, maybe even a dedicated compliance folder somewhere on a shared drive. And technically, they’re right. The trail exists. But here’s the uncomfortable part: almost nobody is actually reading it. Not in any…
The cybersecurity community has spent decades defending networks, endpoints, and identities against human adversaries. But the threat landscape is shifting beneath our feet. The adversaries are no longer always human, and the attacks no longer always target traditional infrastructure. In 2026, the rapid adoption of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)…
We have seen it in science fiction movies over the last few decades, and now it is finally part of a reality that we are living in – Artificial Intelligence (AI). Various fictional iterations have depicted AI as both friend and foe, but the current real-world application is far less…
The Expanding IoT Landscape The era of the Internet of Things (IoT) has ushered in a dramatic expansion of connected devices: sensors, actuators, gateways, smart equipment and embedded systems – collectively forming vast distributed ecosystems that connect the two worlds: the physical and the digital. From smart homes and wearable…

Recent extreme weather events have demonstrated that climate change is no longer an abstract threat; it is an immediate and pressing reality that affects communities and businesses across all sectors. As a Risk Professional, my view is that climate risk is no longer just a “popular narrative” tied to corporate…
The Shift No One Saw Coming Three years ago, governance, risk, and compliance software meant rigid workflow engines and quarterly audit cycles. Today, it means systems that read regulatory updates in real-time, score operational risk across thousands of transactions per second, and explain their reasoning in plain language. This isn’t…
In the high-stakes world of cybersecurity, ethical hacking has long been the frontline defense against sophisticated adversaries. Traditionally, penetration testers, white hats, rely on manual reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, and exploit development to uncover weaknesses before malicious actors do. But as of 2025, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping this landscape at…
The Evolving Risk Manager Prior to the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the general duties of the Risk Manager was to identify and assess the appropriate risks for their organization, analyze them and the organization’s vulnerabilities, propose risk treatment options and report on risk exposure to senior leadership, while developing…
