Ekco, one of Europe's leading security-first managed service providers, has announced the results of new research which reveals that one-in-five (22%) consumers in Ireland are purchasing fewer items online because they fear cyberattacks. For the same reason, 19% say they have started to pay in-person, in cash, when they can. The research, commissioned by Ekco and carried out by Censuswide, surveyed 1,000 adults in the Republic of Ireland, exploring their attitudes to online spending as the volume of cyberattacks and scams continues to rise. It comes at a time when major fashion retailers are considering a return to the high street after declining footfall, exacerbated by the pandemic, drove both shoppers and retailers online. The research suggests that cyber fears could drive more to physical stores this festive season. Despite year-on-year growth in online spending, just 30% of those surveyed believe they know how to check if a retailer's website is safe or not. In fact, in the last 12 months, more than one-in-10 (14%) have entered their payment details on a fraudulent website, thinking it was legitimate, while 26% have found themselves on a fake website which was attempting to mirror a real one. Ekco's research suggests that the constant desire for convenience could be making consumers less focused on security. When offered, 31% opt to store payment details on websites to save time during the check-out process, and the same percentage have payment details stored on multiple websites. However, many consumers are unforgiving when retailers suffer a cyberattack. In the last 12 months, a quarter (25%) of consumers have avoided purchasing from, or using the services of, a retailer because it suffered a cyberattack. Two-thirds (66%) say they would stop shopping with a retailer permanently if their data was stolen in a breach, even if no money was taken. Conor Scolard, Director of Cyber Resilience at Ekco, said: "Our research shows that while consumers want a hassle-free shopping experience - with conveniences such as having their payment details stored - they are also concerned about the security of their information. It is vital that retailers have the robust infrastructure in place that enables them to assure customers that their data is safe, regardless of how they choose to pay: in-person in cash, or online (with or without stored card details). "As we have entered the busiest time of the year for shopping, retailers need to ensure that their systems can both stay onlineand protect customers' data from cyberattacks. Our research highlights that a cyberattack will not only have a negative impact on operations, but it can also cause lasting damage to a business's reputation. In addition, shoppers evidently lack confidence in identifying safe websites from compromised or fraudulent ones, which will undoubtedly lead to hesitation. The retail sector must consider this and its own role in providing convenience and confidence." See more stories here.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber attacks is prompting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to adopt managed detection and response (MDR) services and explore autonomous security operations centers (SOCs). Research from TechAisle indicates that awareness of MDR among SMBs increased from 39% in 2023 to 61% in 2025, with 89% of mid-market firms prioritizing cyber resilience. This shift is driven by the need for effective security operations that do not rely on in-house expertise, as AI-driven threats evolve faster than traditional defenses can respond.A report from UpGuard highlights the prevalence of shadow AI, revealing that 68% of security leaders use unauthorized AI tools, with 90% of them bypassing corporate governance. This disconnect between security protocols and employee behavior underscores the need for organizations to adapt their governance strategies. Additionally, a significant cyber attack attributed to a Chinese state-sponsored group demonstrated AI's capability to autonomously conduct reconnaissance and data exfiltration, marking a shift in threat actor tactics.Retail executives are increasingly concerned about their employees' ability to identify genuine cyber threats, with 44% reporting a rise in cyber attacks. Despite this awareness, only 25% feel prepared for AI-driven incidents. The report emphasizes the necessity for retailers to adopt a resilience-focused approach, including improved application security and identity controls, to mitigate risks associated with sophisticated cyber threats. This highlights a broader trend across industries where reliance on employee training alone is insufficient to combat evolving threats.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), these developments present both challenges and opportunities. The increasing complexity of cyber threats necessitates a shift towards operational models that prioritize continuous verification and behavioral analysis over traditional detection methods. MSPs can leverage this moment to guide organizations in developing effective cybersecurity strategies that address the preparedness gap, ensuring that clients are equipped to handle the evolving landscape of AI-driven attacks. Four things to know today00:00 AI-Powered Attacks Accelerate as SMB Security Transitions Toward Autonomous SOC Models, Exposing a Governance Gap Around Shadow AI06:43 Retail Executives Report Rising AI-Driven Threats and Low Preparedness, Underscoring the Shift from User Training to Resilience08:50 Stealthier North Korean Campaigns and a Fragmented Ransomware Ecosystem Signal Rising Detection Challenges for MSPs11:49 Cork's New Vantage Platform Targets Unified MSP Risk Validation — But Its Visibility Metrics Demand Scrutiny This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://mailprotector.com/mspradio/

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas welcomes Yakir Golan, CEO and Co-founder of Kovrr, a global leader in cyber and AI risk quantification. Drawing from his early career in Israeli intelligence and later roles in software, hardware, and product management, Yakir explains how his background shaped his holistic approach to understanding complex, interconnected risk systems.Yakir breaks down why quantifying AI and cyber risk—rather than relying on subjective, color-coded scoring—is becoming essential for enterprise leaders, boards, and regulators. He explains how Kovrr's new AI Risk Assessment and Quantification module helps organizations model real financial exposure, understand high-impact “tail risks,” and align security, GRC, and finance teams around a shared, objective language.Looking ahead, Yakir discusses how global regulation, including the EU AI Act, is accelerating the need for measurable, defensible risk management. He outlines a future where AI risk quantification becomes a board-level expectation and a foundation for resilient, responsible innovation. Through Kovrr's mission, Yakir aims to equip enterprises with the same level of intelligence-driven decision making once reserved for national security—now applied to the rapidly evolving digital risk landscape.If you liked what you heard today, please leave us a review - Apple or Spotify.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cybersecurity has been on the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) high-risk list since 1997. Federal agencies struggle with issues like cyber hygiene, cyber workforce shortages and strategic execution. While agencies put strategies in place to secure their systems, the implementation and execution can be ineffective, according to GAO Managing Director of IT and Cybersecurity Nick Marinos. Marinos says that evolving threats have reshaped the cybersecurity landscape over the years in government, making evolution a moving target. Agencies are adjusting their workforces accordingly, he says, but is is difficult to keep pace with emerging technology. He underscores the urgency of streamlining federal hiring processes to prevent losing top talent to faster-moving private sector opportunities.

Alexander Schlager, CEO of Aiceberg.ai, discusses the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity, emphasizing the importance of securing AI-powered workflows. Aiceberg employs traditional machine learning techniques to safeguard generative AI systems, providing a deterministic and explainable approach to security. This method allows organizations to understand how their AI systems operate and ensures that they can trace and audit the decisions made by these systems, which is crucial in an era where AI incidents may lead to legal challenges.The conversation highlights the need for organizations to establish robust governance frameworks as they adopt AI technologies. Schlager points out that many businesses are still grappling with basic cybersecurity measures, which complicates their ability to implement effective AI governance. He stresses that organizations must assess their existing security postures and ensure that they are prepared for the rapid deployment of agentic AI, which allows non-technical users to create and manage AI workflows independently.Schlager provides concrete examples of how Aiceberg's technology is integrated into real-world applications, such as in the banking sector, where AI workflows may involve third-party interactions. He explains that Aiceberg monitors these interactions to classify and respond to potential security threats, ensuring that organizations can demonstrate compliance and safety in the event of an incident. This proactive approach to security is essential for maintaining trust and accountability in AI systems.Finally, the discussion touches on the broader implications of AI adoption, including the potential for improved customer experiences across various industries. Schlager notes that while AI can enhance service delivery, organizations must navigate the challenges of user expectations and the maturity of their AI implementations. By focusing on customer service and experience, companies can unlock significant value from their AI investments, but they must also prioritize security and governance to mitigate risks.

➡ Stay Ahead of Cyber Threats with AI-Driven Vulnerability Management with Maze:https://mazehq.com/ In this conversation, I speak with Harry about how AI is transforming vulnerability management and application security. We explore how modern approaches can move beyond endless reports and generic fixes, toward real context-aware workflows that actually empower developers and security teams. We talk about: The Real Problem in Vulnerability ManagementWhy remediation—not just prioritization—remains the toughest challenge, and how AI can help bridge the gap between vulnerabilities and the developers who need to fix them. Context, Ownership, and VelocityHow linking vulnerabilities to the right applications and teams inside their daily tools (like GitHub) reduces friction, speeds up patching, and improves security without slowing developers down. AI Agents and the Future of SecurityWhy we should think of AI agents as “extra eyes and hands,” and how they’re reshaping everything from threat detection to system design, phishing campaigns, and organizational defense models. Attackers Move FirstHow attackers are already building unified world models of their targets using AI, and why defenders need to match (or exceed) this intelligence to stay ahead. From Days to MinutesWhy the tolerance for vulnerability windows is shrinking fast, and how automation and AI are pushing us toward a future where hours—or even minutes—make the difference.
