By 2026, cybersecurity is no longer framed as a technical risk or even a business risk. The World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026 treats it as a structural condition of the global system one that is shaped by geopolitics, artificial intelligence, and economic crime at the same time. What makes this outlook different from previous years is not just the identification of new threats, but the admission that existing security models are no longer sufficient. The report identifies

Organizations searching for GDPR consulting services in the Netherlands are rarely starting from zero. Most have already tried to handle compliance internally, followed generic guidance, or relied on templates only to realize that GDPR compliance is more complex, more operational, and more country-specific than expected. As GDPR enforcement trends continue to show increased scrutiny across Europe, businesses are turning to professional support not because they lack effort, but because GDPR comp

GDPR compliance in the Netherlands requires more than simply following EU-wide rules. While the General Data Protection Regulation applies across Europe, Dutch organizations must also comply with national implementation requirements that affect how the law works in practice. With enforcement increasing and regulatory scrutiny growing, understanding how to comply with GDPR in the Netherlands is essential to reduce legal and operational risk. Recent GDPR enforcement trends show that regulators ar

increasingly important as enforcement across Europe continues to intensify. Recent GDPR enforcement trends show that regulators are paying closer attention to how national implementation laws are applied in practice, especially in countries like the Netherlands where additional rules supplement EU-wide obligations. For organizations operating in or targeting the Dutch market, relying on GDPR knowledge alone is no longer enough. Effective compliance now requires a clear understanding of how the

Cybersecurity in Saudi Arabia’s financial sector has entered a resilience-first regulatory era. Under the supervision of Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), financial institutions are no longer assessed solely on the existence of cybersecurity controls, but on their proven effectiveness under real-world attack conditions. Ethical Red Teaming has emerged as one of the most powerful supervisory instruments used by SAMA to evaluate: * Real operational cyber resilience * Effectiveness of detection and re

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become central to next-generation applications, powering everything from customer service chatbots to complex decision support tools. But with increased use comes increased risk. Adversaries are not just exploiting single prompt bugs; they are actively probing, manipulating, and breaking models using systematic adversarial techniques. This article outlines 15 common adversarial attacks used in AI red teaming, explains how they work, and points out implications f

SAMA penetration testing is often misunderstood as a technical checkbox rather than a regulatory assurance mechanism. Many banks and financing companies in Saudi Arabia perform penetration testing or VAPT regularly, yet still face challenges during SAMA audits. The issue is rarely the absence of testing. It is the misalignment between how testing is performed and how SAMA evaluates evidence. Organizations that treat penetration testing as a compliance enabler not just a technical task experien

Jailbreaking Isn’t a Prompting Problem For a long time, jailbreaks were treated as a curiosity. Someone found a clever prompt, it circulated online, a filter was adjusted, and the incident was written off as an edge case. If you’ve spent years in application security, this likely felt familiar another input validation issue, just expressed in natural language. That framing is now insufficient. What breaks in real systems today is not a single prompt, but the interaction itself. Modern jailbre

Organizations operating in the UAE increasingly find themselves navigating multiple cybersecurity and compliance frameworks at the same time. What often starts as a governance initiative such as ISO 27001 certification quickly becomes more complex once national regulatory requirements like NESA and oversight by SIA enter the picture. This complexity leads to a recurring and critical question: “If we are already ISO 27001 certified, do we still need to comply with NESA or SIA requirements?” Th

Most organizations do not fail NESA assessments because of missing security tools. They fail because governance, evidence, and accountability are not structured in a way regulators expect. A NESA audit is not a certification exercise or a third-party review. It is a regulatory assessment focused on how effectively an organization manages cyber risk, protects critical systems, and demonstrates compliance with national requirements. Understanding how this process works—before assessment timelines
