Why DNS filtering is crucial to your data protection strategy

James Griffin, CEO, CyberSentriq
It’s easy to overlook, but DNS filtering quietly protects your organisation from countless threats every day. Stopping attacks before they reach your network strengthens your entire data protection framework from the ground up.
The key to completely securing company networks is to prevent infiltration of threats at the source. By utilising the Domain Name System (DNS), organisations can prevent access to dangerous locations masquerading as legitimate resources.

The networking landscape of 2026 is unrecognizable from the predictable cycles of the past decade. If your latest hardware refresh quote left you with a sense of sticker shock, you aren’t alone. Across the industry, the cost of physical infrastructure is surging, driven by a perfect storm of AI-driven component shortages, geopolitical friction, and a volatile tariff environment.
For IT leaders, the math no longer adds up. While budgets remain under intense scrutiny, the cost of the "boxes" required to run a modern business is climbing at an alarming rate. We are witnessing a structural shift in the economics of networking—one that requires a fundamental rethink of how we build and consume infrastructure.

Two years on, what are the lessons from the British Library cyberattack?
20 February 2026
Kashif Nazir, Technical Manager, Cloudhouse
On 28 October 2023, staff arriving at the British Library discovered a catastrophe unfolding. Key systems were encrypted, servers were offline, and digital catalogues had vanished. By mid-morning, the crisis management plan was invoked and the National Cyber Security Centre was engaged. One of the world's most prestigious cultural institutions – custodian of over 170 million items spanning three millennia – had fallen victim to a sophisticated ransomware attack.
More than two years after the attack, full restoration continues with some services still scheduled for recovery. This isn't just another cybersecurity cautionary tale. It's a story about what happens when decades of technical debt collide with modern threats and when structural vulnerabilities endemic across the sector finally come home to roost. Most importantly, it's a roadmap that every library, archive, museum, and university needs to study before facing their own reckoning.
