Tony Rabottini writes about the real-world gap between ticking compliance boxes and building genuine cyber resilience. Drawing on current regulatory expectations, insurance pressures and fast-evolving threats like AI-powered attacks, his work explores why many organisations overestimate their security posture when they focus only on minimum standards.

Through practical analysis and clear examples, Tony highlights how to move beyond frameworks such as the Essential Eight to develop stronger controls, better risk visibility and more robust incident readiness. Readers can expect insights that help security leaders, executives and boards understand what resilient organisations do differently, and how to translate compliance obligations into meaningful, lasting cyber protection.
