Adversarial Testing for Low-Cost Community Sensors

We evaluate simple noise injection attacks on community IoT sensors and propose a lightweight detection heuristic that runs on resource-constrained hardware. The approach reduces false negatives by 34% compared to baseline threshold methods, without adding meaningful latency.

AI Governance for Small Organizations

Artificial intelligence is no longer the exclusive domain of large corporations. From nonprofits and community health organizations to small businesses and local government agencies, AI tools are increasingly embedded in everyday operations such as scheduling, communications, data analysis, hiring, and more.

Biometrics & The Future of CyberSecurity 

Biometric authentication represents a paradigm shift in how we think about digital security. Instead of relying on something you know like a password or something you have like a key card biometrics anchors identity to something you fundamentally are. Fingerprints, iris patterns, facial geometry, even the unique rhythm of your typing: these are the credentials of the future.









Who is Really a Threat to Your Organisation


When most people think about cybersecurity threats, they picture a shadowy hacker in a hoodie someone on the outside, trying to break in. And while that image isn’t wrong, it’s dangerously incomplete.

The truth is some of the costliest breaches in recent history didn’t come from the outside at all.  





Fair-AI Auditing: Lessons from Three Deployments

What we learned running fairness and robustness checks on real classification models deployed in public-sector contexts.


Threat Modelling for Non-Technical Stakeholders

How we adapted threat modelling workshops for community organisations with no prior security knowledge.
