Cyber Essentials Changes in 2026: What UK Businesses Need to Do Before April

Last Updated March 2026

What is Vulnerability Scanning? A Practical Guide for Directors

Cyber security failures rarely start with sophisticated attacks. More often, they begin with something simple: an unpatched system, a forgotten server, or a misconfigured cloud service. Vulnerability scanning exists to find these weaknesses before attackers do.

The Cyber Resilience Act: What you need to know

If you run a UK business that uses, sells, or relies on technology, you may soon hear more about the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

Cybersecurity is now a board issue, not an IT problem. In 2026, the biggest risks will get even harder to ignore—they’ll come from believable scams, weak supplier controls, and employees who unknowingly open the wrong link. For UK company directors, understanding where the threats are moving is essential to protect revenue, reputation, and insurance coverage.

Understanding the risks and knowing how to protect yourself will help you avoid a costly mistake.

When Ransomware Strikes: How Sophos MDR Stops it in Real Time

Ransomware is ruthless. It doesn’t creep in quietly; it breaks in, encrypts your data, and demands money to return it. Most companies only notice when staff can’t open files or systems suddenly go offline. By then, the damage is done.
