Today’s cyber threats are faster, smarter, and harder to detect. This means IT security teams must have visibility across all corners of the IT estate from staff devices, external locations containing company data, communication apps and the network foundation of a business.

The digital-first world we operate in today puts relentless pressure on IT security managers like you! You’re expected to keep your team’s skills sharp, plug any knowledge gaps, and still protect the business from ever-evolving threats.

As global electricity demand from data centres is projected to more than double by 2030, Aggreko is urging operators to adopt scalable decentralized energy solutions and seek third-party expertise to navigate the impending strain on power grids.

This shift is critical as the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that data centres could consume 945 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity annually by the end of the decade — three times the current demand for the entire UK.

Picture the scene… a critical IT device goes down in a high-security defence facility. The engineer needs a replacement, and fast. IT support is offline, the help desk is miles away and paperwork delays make retrieval a nightmare. In high-stakes industries like aerospace and defence, downtime isn’t just an inconvenience - it’s a potential security risk. This is where the adoption of smart lockers as part of the IT service and support function can change the game. They are more than just secure storage, they represent a smarter, faster, and more resilient approach to IT asset management.

Driven by globalisation and outsourcing, the UK’s leading position globally in network technology and management has been increasingly challenged over the past few decades.

Our country is now too reliant on technology designed and manufactured abroad, with networks managed in outsourced centres across the globe. As the world moves into a more unstable period, this leaves the UK in a vulnerable position which needs to be addressed.
