UK Firms’ Aftermath Support Spree: Dishing Out Cybersecurity Budgets Post-Crisis

UK companies are treating Proactive CISOs Support like an after-party, showing up only post a cyberattack. It’s like handing a new hose to the fire department while watching your city block burn. Surprise, surprise, their cyber defenses keep failing. Is it just me, or is there something backwards about this approach?

Hot Take:

It's almost like UK companies have decided to play a dangerous game of "wait and see" when it comes to cybersecurity. According to Trellix, most British firms are waiting until after a cyberattack to hand out the cookies (and by cookies, I mean support) to their Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). Now, isn't that a bit like giving the fire department a new hose after the entire city block has turned into a bonfire? Oh, and don't forget, these same companies are surprised when their cyber defenses fail again (cue dramatic gasp).

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
