IT as a service: the path to control, quality and continuity

IT should drive your organisation forward, not hold it back. By approaching IT as a service rather than a collection of separate solutions, organisations can gain greater control and clarity while building a more sustainable IT environment, both technically and financially.

Trusted access, untrusted volume: the Danish CPR register incident

A cyberattack on CEVA Logistics exposed how a single compromise at a shared service provider can trigger security, regulatory and reputational consequences for multiple organisations. While the affected companies were not themselves breached, the incident demonstrates how third-party cyber risk and supplier concentration can create widespread exposure. This blog explores the lessons security teams should take from the incident, from managing vendor dependencies and protecting customer data to strengthening resilience against supply chain attacks.

Managed IT services vs outsourcing: what’s the difference?

Many organisations today use the terms “outsourcing” and “managed services,” especially when it comes to IT services, almost synonymously. But the differences between the two are crucial. Not least for those who want to maintain control, gain greater flexibility and reduce dependence on their IT partner. In this article, we explain both parts, and explain the advantages and disadvantages.

From SIEM to MDR: building faster, more effective security operations

More alerts, more complex attacks, less time to investigate. If that sounds familiar, the question is no longer whether you have visibility, but how fast you can act on it. Here is what changes when you move from SIEM to MDR.

How AI agents could make threat attribution harder

As autonomous AI agents begin to execute more of the cyber attack lifecycle, traditional threat attribution may become harder. This article explores how AI-driven behaviour could obscure attacker identity, weaken familiar TTP signals and force defenders to rethink what attribution means.

When IT slows down, the costs add up

Most leaders know a poor customer experience is costly. Fewer realise a poor digital employee experience can cost just as much — in lost productivity, misdirected investment and service-desk pressure. Conscia's DEX specialists explain how measuring the user's real experience turns IT from firefighting into proactive, data-driven decisions.

When the AI benchmark escapes the lab

AI agents are moving cyber risk from controlled testing into real-world environments. In practice, this means that evaluation sandboxes, package proxies and other supporting infrastructure can become attack surfaces when autonomous systems are given goals, tools and time to pursue them. This blog outlines what an AI agent’s escape from an OpenAI benchmark environment reveals about agentic AI security. From sandbox containment and boundary awareness to AI-assisted incident response, it sets out the specific controls security teams should prioritise before autonomous agents become part of normal security operations.

The AI vulnerability storm is coming

AI has shifted security from planned cycles to a race against time. In practice, this means that the window between vulnerability and exploitation has shrunk dramatically, with traditional patch processes and security assumptions coming under pressure. This blog outlines what is driving this development. From security‑capable AI to accelerated patching, and the implications it has for security architecture and governance. It also sets out the specific actions organisations should prioritise to reduce exposure now.
