We're really interested in how the #CriticalZone responds to disturbances like fire, flood, and drought.

This recent story from the USGS explores how science like ours helps risk managers prepare for those disturbances.

"Almost 500 bankers commit to acting with integrity and professionalism by taking the banker’s oath"

ok, that could be the start of a joke and its all too easy to be cynical 🤣 but it is a fact that the profession of the "banker" must be redefined to become a positive catalyst.

An economy does not run itself, it needs financial plumbing reflecting its values and ideals and in the digital era everything is once again up for grabs.

#bigtech are the new "masters of the universe" with resources that vastly exceed those of the former masters: the big banks. What new risks does BigTech in finance pose to users and global stability? Interesting blog post from Banco de Espana #econsky #riskmanagement www.bde.es/wbe/en/notic...

A comparison of market capitalization between big tech and big banks. The highest valued bigtech entity is worth as much as the top ten big banks together!

South Korea’s insurance sector saw its K-ICS ratio fall 8.7 percentage points in Q1 2025, prompting the FSS to tighten risk management amid rising ALM and interest rate risks.

New NIST Zero Trust Guidance Alert!

Looking to implement zero-trust architecture (ZTA) but unsure where to start? NIST just released SP 1800-35, offering 19 real-world examples of zero-trust implementations using commercial, off-the-shelf tech.

Built with 24 industry collaborators over four years, this detailed playbook bridges the gap between theory and practice.

Key takeaways for your organization:
• Map your ZTA to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• Start with what you have — identify existing tech
• Roll out incrementally: identity, MFA, access controls
• Validate and monitor continuously
• Treat ZTA as a journey, not a one-and-done project

Healthcare practices are under cyber siege.

Ransomware, phishing, stolen records… and all while trying to run a clinic, not a data centre.

The reality? Patient records are gold to attackers. But most GP surgeries, dental clinics, and therapists don’t have enterprise IT teams or endless budgets.

✅ MFA
✅ Backups
✅ Staff training
✅ A risk-based plan
✅ A bit of guidance from someone who gets it

You can do cybersecurity without breaking the bank – and without losing focus on care.

Need help getting there? I speak fluent “healthcare on a budget.” Let’s talk 👽

NIS2: It’s not just an EU thing.

A quiet shift in cybersecurity regulation is about to make noise – and UK businesses need to pay attention.

NIS2 massively expands the original NIS Directive. More sectors. More requirements. More pressure on leadership to actually care about cyber risk.

If your business touches the EU (or works with suppliers who do), it could be in scope – even if you’re based in the UK. And even if it’s not mandatory, aligning with NIS2 is quickly becoming a mark of credibility.

🔒 Risk-based security
⏱ Rapid incident reporting
🔗 Supply chain accountability
📈 Leadership-level responsibility

Not sure if you’re affected? Want to get ahead of the game? Let’s talk.

Compliance is moving fast. I’ll help you keep up 👽

New AI Security Risk Uncovered in Microsoft 365 Copilot

A zero-click vulnerability has been discovered in Microsoft 365 Copilot—exposing sensitive data without any user interaction. This flaw could allow attackers to silently extract corporate data using AI-integrated tools.

If your organization is adopting AI in productivity platforms, it’s time to get serious about AI risk management:
• Conduct a Copilot risk assessment
• Monitor prompt histories and output
• Limit exposure of sensitive data to AI tools
• Update your incident response plan for AI-based threats

AI can boost productivity, but it also opens new doors for attackers. Make sure your cybersecurity program keeps up. Contact our LMG Security team if you need a risk assessment or help with AI policy development.
