Penetration testing has long been one of the most trusted ways to understand how secure an organisation really is. It uncovers vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and attack paths that might otherwise go unnoticed. The challenge is that modern environments don’t stand still. Cloud services change. New applications are deployed. Permissions are updated. APIs expand and infrastructure evolves. At the same time, attackers are increasingly using automation and AI to identify o

If you're responsible for cyber security in a public sector organisation, you'll know the challenge all too well. Cyber threats continue to evolve, budgets are under pressure, and teams are being asked to do more with less. At the same time, organisations need to meet compliance requirements, improve resilience, and protect critical services that people rely on every day. Finding the right cyber security partner shouldn't make that job harder.

Why External Attack Surface Monitoring Has Become a Cybersecurity Essential Cyber threats continue to evolve, but one thing remains constant: attackers are always looking for exposed assets they can exploit...

When we wrapped up NISC 2025, one thing stood out above everything else, people still value talking to each other. Cyber security is a fast-moving industry. New threats emerge daily, technologies evolve at pace, regulations change and everyone's inbox is full of the latest solution claiming to solve the next big problem...

We are really proud to share that Sapphire has been named Cyber Security Business of the Year at the My Local Awards. Winning this in our 30th anniversary year makes it even more special, and it is something the whole team is incredibly proud of...

For over 30 years, Sapphire has helped organisations understand and manage cyber risk across IT and OT environments. Today, one theme is coming through louder than ever. The vulnerability landscape is shifting fast. There is a lot of noise right now around AI driven cyber attacks. From Anthropic’s Claude Mythos preview to wider hype around autonomous attackers, it is easy to think this is all about new threats. But the real story is something else entirely....

At Sapphire, we have over 30 years of experience helping organisations protect critical systems and respond when it matters most. When OT is disrupted, the impact is immediate. It goes beyond data to safety, uptime, and operations. Many organisations rely on IT-led response, but OT environments need a different approach...

Quantum computing is no longer something we can push into the future. It is developing quickly, and while it promises breakthroughs across healthcare, AI, and scientific research, it also introduces a serious challenge for cyber security. For organisations across the UK, this shift is already shaping conversations around post‑quantum cryptography (PQC) and the future of quantum cyber security services. At the heart of that challenge is encryption. The systems we rely on today

If you spend time talking to organisations running industrial or operational environments, a pattern quickly emerges. The cyber risk isn’t just growing – it’s growing faster than their ability to see it, understand it, and respond to it.
