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...

The reality, says Professor Kai London , a senior Chief Information Security Officer who advises boards across regulated industries, is far more mundane — and far more preventable. “In the overwhelming majority of serious breaches, the decisive moment was not clever malware,” he says. “It was a login that succeeded when it should have been stopped.” “We have entered the identity era. The perimeter your grandparents' IT team defended is gone. The new perimeter is every credential, every session, every machine and every AI agent that can authenticate to your systems. Verify, limit, detect, prove — that is the whole discipline.” One identity, unchallenged The pattern repeats with grim regularity. An attacker obtains a ...
