Research-led cybersecurity intelligence
We investigate the threats that matter most — delivering rigorous, independent analysis across threat intelligence, emerging technology risk, and frontier AI security.
Threat Intelligence
Understanding adversaries before they strike
Effective defence begins with a clear picture of who is targeting your organisation, how they operate, and what they want. Cyber Acumen produces structured threat intelligence that goes beyond indicator feeds — we analyse adversary tradecraft, campaign objectives, and the geopolitical context that drives nation-state and criminal activity.
Our threat intelligence engagements are tailored to your sector and risk profile. Whether you need a standing intelligence brief, a deep-dive into a specific threat actor, or a rapid assessment following a sector-wide incident, we deliver findings in formats that are immediately actionable for security operations, executive leadership, and board governance.
Capabilities
- Nation-state actor profiling
- Adversary tradecraft analysis
- Campaign attribution & tracking
- Sector-specific threat briefings
- Geopolitical risk context
- Incident-driven rapid assessment
Emerging Technology Research
Mapping the attack surface of tomorrow
Every wave of technology adoption introduces new attack surfaces — often before defenders have had time to understand them. Cyber Acumen researches the security implications of emerging technologies at the frontier: quantum computing, autonomous systems, next-generation supply chains, and the convergence of physical and digital infrastructure.
Our research is designed to give security leaders and technology teams a head start. We identify the risks embedded in technologies your organisation is evaluating or deploying, and provide clear guidance on the controls, architectures, and governance frameworks needed to manage them.
Capabilities
- Post-quantum cryptography readiness
- Supply chain security assessment
- OT/ICS exposure analysis
- Autonomous systems risk
- Technology adoption risk briefings
- Secure architecture guidance
AI-Powered Attack Vectors
Frontier AI as an offensive capability
Large language models and generative AI systems are being weaponised at a pace that outstrips most organisations' awareness. Adversaries are using frontier AI to automate spear phishing at scale, accelerate vulnerability research, generate convincing disinformation, and probe agentic systems for prompt injection vulnerabilities.
Cyber Acumen conducts primary research into AI-enabled offensive techniques — testing real-world capability uplift, mapping the evolving threat landscape, and translating findings into concrete defensive guidance. Our work covers both the use of AI as an attack tool and the security of AI systems themselves, including LLM deployment risks, model poisoning, and adversarial inputs.
Capabilities
- LLM jailbreaking & prompt injection
- AI-generated phishing analysis
- Agentic AI security assessment
- Model poisoning & adversarial inputs
- Deepfake & synthetic media threats
- AI red-teaming methodology
