The Kernel ads

This year's compliance deadlines have already passed for some sectors, and audits are live for others. If your security plan hasn't been reviewed against them, GISEC is the moment to fix that. The Kernel matches you to the right specialist for the problem you're actually solving, and gets the meeting on the calendar before the show floor gets in the way. Not a queue at a stand — a conversation, scoped in advance, with the engineer who knows the technology. GISEC Global 2026, 16-18 September, Dubai Exhibition Centre. Request your meeting before it opens.

GISEC is almost here. If a specialist meeting isn't on your calendar yet, now's the time to put one there. The Kernel matches you to the right specialist for the problem you're actually solving, and gets the meeting on the calendar before the show floor gets in the way. Not a queue at a stand — a conversation, scoped in advance, with the engineer who knows the technology. GISEC Global 2026, 16-18 September, Dubai Exhibition Centre. Request your meeting before it opens.

We're heading to GISEC GLOBAL 2026! We'll be present at stand D95 in Hall 6, 16–18 September Dubai Exhibition Centre, bringing together a number of world-class cybersecurity vendors under one roof. If there's a security problem, or question you've been meaning to solve, this is where to bring it. It'd be great to sit down properly or catch a chat for two minutes on a busy floor.

Your cloud MFA is solid. It is everything it doesn't reach that keeps you up. On-prem Exchange, legacy applications, the systems Entra ID never fully covered - that is where access stays inconsistent, and where an attacker looks first. Pointsharp puts one passwordless, phishing-resistant access layer across Microsoft cloud, legacy and on-prem, so strong authentication finally reaches the gaps. The Kernel delivers it regionally, with local technical support and rollout. Request more information about Pointsharp.

Most security teams can name their weakest control precisely. That is not the hard part. The hard part is the internal case - the risk framing, the numbers, and the argument that turns an acknowledged gap into an approved line in a budget. Which is why known problems survive several planning cycles. The gap doesn't move until the business case does.

Directories built a decade ago. Cloud added alongside rather than instead. MFA rolled out to whatever it reached. Very few people designed the identity estate they are now accountable for, which is why the gaps are rarely anyone's decision - they are simply what accumulated, and they tend to sit in the same few places. None of it happened in one decision, which is exactly why it's worth mapping properly.
