Adoption of new technologies can alter an organisation’s attack surface, requiring security controls, testing, and risk management to change.

Background for this topic.
Adoption is the extent to which people and organizations begin using a security technology, control, policy, or practice and incorporate it into routine work. In cybersecurity, adoption is more than purchasing or deploying a capability: it includes correct configuration, user participation, and continued use. Examples include enabling multifactor authentication, applying security patches, using secure coding practices, and collecting logs from systems that require monitoring.
Adoption matters because uneven or incomplete use leaves exploitable gaps. A partially deployed authentication control may protect some accounts while others remain exposed; delayed patch adoption can leave known vulnerabilities available to attackers; and missing or poorly configured logging can limit detection and investigation. Practitioners therefore assess coverage, exceptions, configuration quality, and whether controls operate as intended. Training, usable workflows, staged rollout, and measured policy compliance can improve adoption without encouraging insecure workarounds or unnecessary collection of personal data.

More cybercriminals are turning to using autonomous AI tools to upgrade their attacks, as exemplified by the recent utilization of Anthropic’s Claude Code, prompting an urgent need for enterprises to adopt agentic AI-driven security platforms and proactive defenses to counter AI-related threats.
As AI adoption accelerates, businesses face mounting cyber threats—and urgent choices about secure implementation
Implementing Zero Trust can be difficult due to outdated systems, employee resistance, and cost. Yet, the benefits outweigh the challenges. It is key to use a platform that combines multiple security technologies to simplify IT and risk assessment, proper planning, and getting security buy-in from stakeholders, including your board of directors.
Since its initial release in late 2022, the AI-powered text generation tool known as ChatGPT has been experiencing rapid adoption rates from both organizations and individual users. However, its latest feature, known as Shared Links, comes with the potential risk of unintentional disclosure of confidential information.
In this fourth article, I introduce the discussion related to Industrial IoT, that is involved challenges to adopt cybersecurity strategy into modernizing environment.
