About

Trust has become one of the most valuable – and most vulnerable – assets. With AI-generated deepfakes, synthetic identities, and disinformation on the rise, trust itself has become an active attack surface.

For CIOs and CISOs, the real danger is no longer just outside the firewall. Attackers exploit the platforms your teams use daily — email, cloud, collaboration tools. They mimic CEOs’ voices, hijack video calls, or abuse the credibility of global providers. The implicit trust in these systems has become a hidden weakness.

LOTS (Living Off Trusted Sites) attacks make this worse. Hackers hide behind platforms like Microsoft or Google, using their credibility to deliver malware or steal data. Because security filters rarely block trusted domains, these attacks slip past almost invisibly.

Another growing concern is the third-party SaaS supply chain. Enterprises depend on countless apps connected to their trusted platforms. If one integration is compromised, it opens a trusted pathway into the organisation, as recent breaches have shown. This new dimension of vulnerability management raises tough questions about how far trust can extend across SaaS ecosystems.

Meanwhile, AI’s rapid acceleration and the coming wave of quantum computing threaten the very foundations of digital trust. Building resilience now means moving towards adaptive, contextual, and continuous trust models — preparing not just for today’s threats, but for tomorrow’s disruptions.
