Operation Sindoor: Lessons from a Coordinated Cyber Offensive

Introduction

In May 2025, India launched "Operation Sindoor," a strategic military response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 civilian lives. While the operation involved precision strikes on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, it also triggered a massive cyber offensive against India by state-sponsored hackers and hacktivist groups from multiple countries. This coordinated cyber onslaught targeted India's critical infrastructure, marking a significant escalation in cyber warfare tactics.

From Insight to Action: Quantifying Risk with Large Language Models

Risk Management

Introduction

As organizations embrace artificial intelligence (AI) for risk management, the conversation is quickly evolving from mere detection to strategic quantification. While early deployments of AI focused on spotting anomalies or identifying threats, the latest frontier is about converting this insight into measurable, actionable data. Large Language Models (LLMs), like GPT, are now being leveraged to assign risk scores, quantify exposures, and support real-time decision-making.

Blurring Boundaries: Integrating Vendor and Internal Risk Management Strategies

Vendor-IT Risk

Introduction

In today's interconnected business landscape, the lines between internal operations and external partnerships are increasingly blurred. Organizations no longer operate in isolation; they rely heavily on third-party vendors, suppliers, and service providers to deliver products and services. This interdependence introduces complex risk landscapes where internal and vendor risks are intertwined, necessitating a unified approach to risk management.

Navigating the New IIA Standards: Strategic Alignment and Assurance in Internal Auditing

Audit-Assurance

Introduction

The internal audit landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. With the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) releasing its updated Global Internal Audit Standards in 2025, organizations must rethink how assurance functions are aligned with strategy, risk, and performance. These changes are not just tweaks—they redefine how internal auditors create value and foster trust in modern enterprises.

Navigating the Complexities of AI Governance: Strategies for 2025

Governance-Compliance

Introduction

AI is no longer confined to research labs or sci-fi storylines. It now shapes enterprise workflows, automates decision-making, and influences regulatory risk across industries. But as adoption accelerates, so does the complexity of governing these powerful systems. In 2025, organizations face mounting pressure to align AI development and deployment with ethical principles, legal obligations, and stakeholder expectations.

Preparing for the Quantum Threat: Transitioning to Quantum-Resistant Encryption

Cybersecurity

Introduction

For decades, modern encryption has served as the invisible vault that safeguards global financial transactions, personal communications, and national security systems. But a technological shift is looming — one powerful enough to shatter today’s cryptographic foundations. This shift is quantum computing. As quantum capabilities evolve, they threaten to break widely used algorithms like RSA and ECC, putting the confidentiality of decades’ worth of stored data at risk.

AI-Driven Insider Risk Management: Transforming Threat Detection in 2025

Risk Management

Introduction

Insider risk is no longer a hypothetical concern—it's a pervasive, escalating threat that’s reshaping enterprise security. Once viewed primarily as a matter of preventing malicious employees from exfiltrating data, insider risk now encom
passes a broad spectrum: negligence, accidental breaches, third-party mishandling, and even manipulated AI agents embedded within corporate systems. In 2025, the attack surface has grown significantly due to hybrid work environments, cloud-first strategies, and widespread adoption of generative AI tools. Traditional methods are buckling under the weight of complex data ecosystems and evolving user behavior.

Navigating Regulatory Changes in Vendor Risk Management

Vendor-IT Risk

Introduction

The regulatory landscape for vendor risk management is undergoing a seismic shift. With supply chain cyberattacks on the rise and high-profile breaches triggering public outcry, regulators across the globe are tightening compliance expectations around third-party oversight. Businesses can no longer treat vendor risk as a one-off procurement checkbox. Instead, they must view it as a living, breathing element of enterprise risk management—now shaped directly by evolving regulatory requirements.

Revised ISA 570: Strengthening Auditor Responsibilities for Going Concern

Audit-Assurance

Introduction

The revised International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 570 marks a significant shift in how auditors assess and report on an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Released by the IAASB in 2024 and effective for audits of periods beginning on or after December 15, 2026, the updated standard responds to a global call for greater audit transparency, especially after several high-profile collapses exposed blind spots in financial oversight. Auditors are now expected to dig deeper, think more critically, and report more clearly.

Implementing a Unified Control Framework for AI Governance

Governance-Compliance

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation and efficiency. However, this rapid advancement brings forth complex challenges in governance, risk management, and compliance. Organizations are grappling with fragmented regulations, overlapping standards, and the need for robust frameworks to ensure responsible AI deployment.
