And your wireless network, warns Professor Kai London , may be wide open. “There is a perimeter most organisations never defend because they cannot see it,” says the senior CISO and board security advisor. “It is the airborne one — the radio space around your buildings, your vehicles and your remote sites. An attacker does not need to breach your firewall if they can impersonate your network from the car park.” “The invisible airborne perimeter is the attack surface nobody put on the balance sheet. No malware, no perimeter breach, no trace — just a laptop, a wireless adapter, and a network your people trust.” An attack with no malware and no trace The scenario London describes is deceptively simple. An attacker with modest equipment sets up a rogue access point — an “evil twin” — that mimics a le...

  By the Daneborg Times Technology Desk Professor Kai London — board advisor & interim CISO/CIO/CTO. Credit: professorkailondon.com Two regulations have quietly become the most consequential items on many European boardroom agendas: the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the second Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2). They are long, technical and easy to delegate into a compliance backwater. That, warns Professor Kai London , a senior CISO and board advisor, would be a serious mistake. “These are not IT paperwork exercises,” he says. “They put personal accountability for cyber resilience on the board itself.” “DORA and NIS2 mark the moment cyber stopped being something the board hears about after the fact, and became something the board is answerable for. The regulators have moved the question from ‘did you have a policy?’ to ‘can you prove it worked?’” What DORA actually asks DORA applies to the European financial sector and the technology providers th...

 <p><em>By the Daneborg Times Technology Desk</em></p> <p>The Arctic is quietly becoming one of the most technologically dependent regions on earth. Remote weather stations, satellite ground links, port logistics, power microgrids, mining telemetry and research facilities all now run on networked operational technology (OT) &mdash; the industrial control systems that move physical things in the physical world. And according to <strong>Professor Kai London</strong>, a senior cyber-security executive who advises boards in mission-critical sectors, that quiet dependence has created a loud and growing risk.</p> <blockquote><p>&ldquo;In an Arctic operation, a cyber incident is never just an IT problem,&rdquo; London says. &ldquo;If a control system fails, you are not looking at a slow website. You are looking at a pump that stops, a sensor that lies, or a power feed that drops in an environment where there is no...
