The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to a new form of content slowing growing predominantly on video sharing sites such as YouTube, Rumble and TikTok, that we have characterised as 100% synthetic content. This is defined within this article as: “Content that is principally generated by AI, where

Threat and risk are different but connected concepts. Threat indicates the motivation, capability, and intent of an adversary; risk is the likelihood of a cyber-attack multiplied by its potential impact. At the strategic level, it’s clear how the two concepts are related – specifically, the assessed threat level of an

This month we had the pleasure to attend and present at the UK Deterrence and Assurance Academic Alliance (DAAA) Conference hosted by Defence Science and Technology Laboratory in conjunction with the Scottish Council on Global Affairs. The focus was on the process of escalation – defined as: a situation, such

Onsite at the FIRST CTI Conference in Berlin last week, we took in three days of fascinating and valuable cyber-threat workshops and talks. Here are key insights we drew from the event. Cyber Risk and Threat: A Cry for Collaboration  Dr Jamie Collier and John Doyle, both from Mandiant, delivered

In our estimation, the analysis of disinformation is lagging about 10 years behind the field of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI). Despite the widespread acknowledgment that disinformation is a major threat, we lack the frameworks and governance to adequately address the threat.  In plain terms: Knowing about a threat has only

Disinformation works best when blended with a drop of truth. Consider the Philadelphia Experiment (BS) combined with degaussing technology research (truth). Or microchips in vaccines (BS) with the Tuskegee Syphilis Study (truth).  The recipe is clear: Just as a spoonful of sugar makes the microchip-laced medicine go down, if you

“There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.” Donald Rumsfeld The above quotation has

The dust is settling on InfoSec London 2023, and in reflection we offer a unique insight to the discourse that’s been circulating. As a company that specialises in the production of artificial intelligence tools for Cyber Threat Intelligence analysts, we’re acutely aware of how AI tools are impacting the CTI

Disinformation and artificial intelligence (AI) are two topics that are quickly becoming interlinked. The boss of the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), Jeremy Fleming, recently commented that AI could lead to an ‘explosion’ in disinformation.  Another concerning observation came from the credible Gordon Crovitz, Co-chief executive of NewsGuard: an organisation

There's is a lot of talk at the moment about the future of disinformation and what changes technology will bring. Artificial intelligence (AI) is dominating the conversation. But it’s not the only show in town, especially when we look to the future of disinformation.  Let’s take a look at the
