I am still leading on the cyber security threat posed to our systems by the conflict in Ukraine – even though it is slower in coming than most analysts feared – although there are indications that the malicious software is starting to leak out across the internet.

It cannot be just bad news, there is an antidote for doomscrolling from The Guardian – “reasons to be cheerful”, another piece from The Guardian looks at what we use the internet for, and we saw sharp images from the James Webb space telescope this week.
This is a weekly round-up of the articles from Smart Thinking Solutions, our specialist cybersecurity, governance and compliance web site.
The articles are mostly quick reads to give you an overview of the cybersecurity threat landscape facing businesses today, with links to the sources. Many of the posts have action points or top tips to help you navigate these threats to your organisations.
Sometimes they are just there to make you smile!
