Cyber This Week - Edition 73
Cybersecurity today is shifting from defense to design. This week’s edition examines how organizations can stay ahead in an AI-driven landscape where threats are faster, smarter, and increasingly autonomous. From AI agents transforming threat response to supply chain exposures, and the rise of unified risk models, every story points toward one truth - the future of resilience lies in integration, not isolation.
As businesses expand digital boundaries, the challenge is no longer just about managing incidents - it’s about managing interconnections. Whether it’s redefining data collection in identity security or refining threat-led defense, adaptability will define leadership in 2025.
AI Agents: Elevating Cyber Threat Intelligence to Autonomous Response
This is an exciting time in cybersecurity and threat management specifically. As the attack vectors change and evolve, enterprises have to adopt better mechanisms including Agentic AI to detect (and predict), validate, respond & mitigate rapidly. In addition, understanding and achieving the balance between human and AI will only strengthen the enterprises’ security and threat management operations.
3 Common Cybersecurity Exposures and How to Manage Them
Cyber exposure management empowers organizations to gain real-time visibility and control over their attack surface, unifying visibility, context and continuous monitoring to strengthen proactive protection against evolving cyber threats.
The unified linkage model: A new lens for understanding cyber risk
Cyber threats don’t just hit your systems — they move through your connections. The ULM shows how those hidden links fuel real risk.
Cyber incident response plan: why it’s time for an update
Many organisations have not substantially reviewed their cyber incident response plans since they were adopted several years ago, and there are several new issues that the response plan needs to address. An up-to-date, actionable cyber incident response plan is essential for surviving a cyber breach; and the time to act is now.
Why Threat-Led Defense Is Fundamental To Success In Cybersecurity
Threat-led defense makes answering the basic security question achievable. By structuring threat and defensive intelligence using the same MITRE ATT&CK framework, we can automatically understand residual risk and effectively allocate resources to eliminate it cost-effectively.
