Threat Research · Insights
Insights that sharpen judgment,
not just checklists.
Short-form analysis from the research and consulting desk — how threats evolve, where programmes overspend, and which trade-offs actually reduce risk.
What you'll find
Insights, not Security Guides
This page is for Insights — perspective pieces that help leaders and practitioners think clearly about risk. Step-by-step how-tos live under Security Guides. We keep that distinction intentional so readers know whether they need a procedure or a point of view.
Published Insights sit below — ENISA phishing economics, why a platform plan is not a pentest, and what a useful assessment actually delivers. More titles appear when the analysis is finished. Step-by-step how-tos live under Security Guides.

ENISA still puts phishing at ~60% of initial access. That should change your spend.
The ENISA Threat Landscape 2025 analysed 4,875 incidents. Ransomware remains the most damaging crime. Phishing is still how most of it starts.

A platform plan is not a pentest. Stop buying the wrong thing first.
Individual, CyberLink, and Enterprise are coverage. Assessments and tests are scoped work. Mixing them is how buyers get a bundle they cannot run.

Threat landscape
The surface does not sit still.
Cloud estates, identities, vendors, and employee devices shift every week. A once-a-year assessment is a snapshot. CyberSafe treats the attack surface as a live model — continuously scanned, ranked by business consequence, and tied to the work of closing what actually matters.
- Internet-facing services, identity paths, and cloud defaults mapped as one surface
- Automated probing tropes — phishing, credential stuffing, unpatched CVEs — ranked by impact
- A continuous scan model so new exposure is seen before it becomes an incident
