We are delighted to welcome Doron Tenne to the Fortify Defence Exec leadership team.   At Fortify, our mission is to give organisations a bulletproof, 360-degree view of their security posture — across cyber, operational technology, physical and critical infrastructure. The threats we help our clients navigate are growing more complex every year. AI, quantum, geopolitical risk, supply chain vulnerabilities — the landscape has never demanded more from security leaders. That's exactly why bringing in the right people matters so much.   Doron brings over 40 years of experience at the sharp end of exactly these challenges. He began his career in Israeli Military Intelligence, before founding and leading the Israeli Security Agency's SIGINT and Cyber Division — one of the earliest dedicated cyber counterterrorism units in the world. He then served as Security and Intelligence Attaché at the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C., working at the intersection of US-Israel counterterrorism and national security collaboration. Most recently, Doron spent 13 years as Executive Security and Cyber Affairs Director at SICPA SA, building integrated enterprise security frameworks across complex global operations — precisely the kind of work that sits at the heart of what Fortify does every day.   His depth of strategic and operational experience, combined with a genuine understanding of how threats evolve, makes him an exceptional addition as we scale our capabilities and continue growing our client base.   Welcome to the team, Doron. https://lnkd.in/eXGaQABd   #FortifyDefence #Leadership #Cybersecurity #NationalSecurity #CyberResilience #WelcomeToTheTeam

🚨 Exciting Announcement Announcing the Strategic Alliance between CyberCyte and Fortify Risk Group Cyber security threats are rapidly increasing due to ransomware, data breaches, supply chain risks, and the rise of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing. New regulations such as NIS2, DORA, GDPR, and ISO27001 are placing greater responsibility on organisations to protect data, with potential fines and reputational damage if they fail. Security teams are often overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with evolving threats. Today we announce the alliance between CyberCyte – an Extended Continuous Threat Exposure management and GRC platform vendor and Fortify Risk Group which underpins Fortify Tactical Risk, Fortify Smart Grid and Fortify Defence platform Fortify Three Sixty in order to counter the evolving threat landscape and create the most secure and compliant business infrastructure in order to "Build resilience and prove compliance". ───────────────────── Necati Ertuğrul, CSO at CyberCyte: "This collaboration marks a significant step forward in how we approach cyber resilience. By combining CyberCyte's continuous threat exposure management and GRC capabilities with Fortify Risk Group's deep operational expertise, we're giving organisations the tools and confidence to stay ahead of threats, meet regulatory demands, and build security postures that genuinely hold up under pressure." ───────────────────── Andi Robinson, CEO at Fortify Risk Group: "This partnership brings together deep expertise and real agility in a strong, focused team — enhancing our ability to deliver better outcomes for clients while further strengthening our growth trajectory and overall investor proposition." ───────────────────── The threat landscape isn't slowing down. Neither are we. #CyberCyte #FortifyRiskGroup #StrategicAlliance #CTEM #GRC #CyberResilience #NIS2 #DORA #CyberSecurity #CISO #FortifyTacticalRisk #FortifySmartGrid #FortifyDefence

Perhaps the current systems in use need a top down review in light of the threats that quantum and AI are bringing to bear? #Fortifythreesixty #Fortifydefence #innovation #drivingcybersecurity

In 2004, a security adviser at one of the world’s biggest tech companies told senior management that the CEO’s computer had been compromised by hackers traced to Shanghai. The response? Change the passwords and move on. The company was Nortel Networks. I worked there in my first “real” IT job, onsite at their Monkstown EMEA HQ, acting as a support engineer on behalf of DEC. As a 19 year old it was mind-blowing: huge cabinets of compute and cables, Sun workstations, even SGI machines. I felt like I was in a sci-fi movie when I was on the factory floor, and I absolutely loved being around the engineers there. At its peak in 2000, Nortel employed 94,500 people and was worth around $250 billion. It accounted for more than a third of the entire Toronto Stock Exchange. One in five engineering graduates in Canada were hired by Nortel. It pioneered digital switching, dominated fibre optics, and had even prototyped a touchscreen wireless device nearly a decade before the iPhone. But behind the scenes, a very different story was unfolding. From around 2000, hackers had stolen executive credentials and gained access to business plans, R&D reports, source code and customer strategies. The intrusion went on for nearly a decade. The security adviser who discovered it, Brian Shields, escalated repeatedly. He was met with indifference. By 2009, the company filed for bankruptcy and I, like everyone else, couldn’t believe it. Its 6,000 patents were eventually auctioned off and bought by a consortium of Apple, Microsoft, BlackBerry, Ericsson and Sony for $4.5 billion. And the scientists who’d been developing Nortel’s wireless technologies? Around 20 of them were hired by a competitor that had been growing at a suspiciously convenient rate throughout the whole saga. I won’t mention any names. There are plenty of lessons in the Nortel story. The dot-com hubris. The acquisition binge funded by magic money. The accounting scandal. But the one that sticks with me most is simpler than all of that. If anything, in an era of AI-driven automation, expanding attack surfaces and increasingly sophisticated threat actors, the temptation to treat security as someone else’s problem is greater than ever. Nortel didn’t collapse because it lacked innovation. It collapsed because it lacked the will to protect it.
