Cyber adversaries continuously pose new and highly sophisticated threats that evolve beyond the capabilities of legacy security solutions — a fact that IT decision-makers cannot afford to ignore. Modern attacks demand advanced solutions, yet traditional tools available to security operations centre (SOC) teams are increasingly ill-equipped to meet these demands.

This reality underscores an urgent need to adapt and future-proof legacy security information and event management (SIEM) tools. By leveraging the latest technologies, SOC teams can improve and streamline their operations. However, such a transformation takes time — which ultimately benefits threat actors.

Wi-Fi 7 has the potential to significantly enhance connectivity in industrial environments, offering ultra-low latency and high-speed wireless performance that supports a range of applications, from smart factories to AI-enhanced automation.

In practice, industrial deployments often encounter difficulties when existing infrastructure isn’t ready to meet the demands of Wi-Fi 7. Without careful planning and proper execution, businesses may experience downtime, suboptimal performance, and disappointing returns on their technology investments.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has captured the world’s attention in recent years, and the IT network sector is no exception. With transformative potential for automation, predictive maintenance, network security, and more, AI promises much. As such, it has become a beacon for investment, and a watchword for companies when procuring all forms of technology services.

However, an emerging trend — often labeled as ‘AI-washing’ - has seen companies embellish or outright misrepresent their products as ‘AI-enabled’ or ‘featuring AI’ when, in reality, the underlying technology may not be all that smart - and something that, until very recently, would not have been badged as AI. This practice, reminiscent of greenwashing in an environmental context, is not harmless, and can have significant legal, reputational, and commercial consequences for companies operating in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

In today’s digital-first enterprise environment, organisations operate across multiple locations, platforms, and networks. With employees connecting remotely, collaborating from branch offices, or accessing systems via mobile endpoints, enterprise networks have become both expansive and vulnerable. Which is why, with cyber threats escalating, backup strategies are no longer optional - they are fundamental to continuity.
