Cyber resilience in 2026: designing security for real-world behaviour
12 February 2026
Simon Seymour-Perry, CEO of Logica Security
One of the most persistent misconceptions in cyber security is the belief that human risk is primarily a people problem. In reality, it is a design problem and increasingly, boards, regulators, and threat actors alike recognise it as such.
Research consistently shows that the vast majority of cyber incidents involve human error. Yet most organisations continue to respond by increasing training, tightening policies, and adding layers of control. Despite decades of investment, why are incident levels still so stubbornly high?

12 February 2026
Cornerstone and StonesThro have announced a strategic partnership designed to redefine and enhance the UK's digital landscape.
The collaboration focuses on deploying micro-edge compute capabilities across Cornerstone's national estate to address the urgent need for increased data processing speed and capacity, data sovereignty, and national infrastructure resilience. As the global geopolitical climate becomes increasingly unpredictable and regulatory frameworks around data privacy tighten, the question of where data is processed and who governs and protects the underlying hardware has moved from a technical concern to a matter of national security. This partnership arrives at a critical moment, providing a UK-centric solution to the growing dependency on centralised, often foreign-owned, cloud architectures.

Smart city technology markets set for rapid growth as cities prioritise operational outcomes
11 February 2026
Berg Insight has released the latest edition of its comprehensive smart city technology report, comprising in-depth studies of five key technology areas: smart street lighting, smart parking, smart waste collection, urban air quality monitoring and smart city surveillance.
In 2024, the global installed base excluding China of individually controlled smart street lights amounted to 27.9 million units. The corresponding figures for the smart waste and smart parking sensor technology markets were at the same time 1.56 million and 1.47 million units respectively. Smart parking sensors refers to in-ground or surface-mounted parking occupancy detection sensors whilst smart waste sensor technology consists of fill-level sensor devices that may either be pre-integrated into bins and containers, for example as a smart bin offering, or retrofitted on existing collection points.

Avinash Gupta, Head of COE (Centre of Excellence) at In2IT Technologies
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is no longer an IT choice; it’s the operating system of business itself. From Salesforce to Workday, Microsoft 365 to Slack, the SaaS layer now underpins collaboration, analytics, and decision-making.
Yet, while businesses enjoy the convenience, scalability, and cost-efficiency these platforms offer, many overlook the hidden web of interconnected risks beneath them. The growing sophistication of SaaS supply chain attacks - particularly those exploiting connectors and OAuth trust chains - has made this one of the most insidious and underestimated threats in cybersecurity today.
