Recent research from Sophos has highlighted a worrying shift in the cyber threat landscape.

Nearly 80% of ransomware attacks now begin with a compromised identity rather than an exploited technical vulnerability. In other words, attackers are increasingly logging in rather than breaking in.

That raises an important question for every business leader:
If one of your employees had their credentials stolen tomorrow, would they know the warning signs? And would your organisation be protected?

Technology alone isn’t enough.
Organisations need the right combination of:
Security-aware employees
Strong identity and access management
Multi-factor authentication
Continuous monitoring
Skilled cyber security professionals who can build and maintain resilient environments

Cyber security isn’t just about preventing attacks—it’s about ensuring your people, processes and technology are prepared when they happen.

Are your employees genuinely briefed and protected, or are you relying on hope?

At Kyna Associates, we help organisations strengthen their cyber capability by connecting them with experienced CISOs, Cyber Security, Cloud, Infrastructure and Identity specialists – on a permanent contract or consultancy basis – who can reduce risk before it becomes a business-critical incident.
