Almost six years since GDPR’s inception, compliance has remained a stumbling block for many companies, especially with AI now being a major consideration. The ramifications for non-compliance are dire – big tech companies like Google, X (formerly Twitter), and Meta (formerly Facebook) recently copped multimillion-dollar fines for violating data protection laws, reports Andy Baillie, VP, UK and Ireland at Semarchy.

However, it’s not just big tech companies that feel the sting. Any business can be fined for non-compliance with data privacy laws. As the volume of sensitive information expands and hefty fines for GDPR violations continue to escalate, ensuring compliance has become a top priority for organisations around the globe. Consequently, IT vendors are adjusting their marketing strategies to claim their solutions can assist organisations in managing compliance challenges.

The office as we know it no longer exists. The modern workspace has become a multifunctional hub, blending work with client interactions and social events and at its core is a fast, reliable and secure wireless network.

However, the shift to the modern office isn’t as simple as updating old systems. It’s a comprehensive overhaul which demands a fundamental reimagining of existing infrastructure and all that underpins it. The density of traffic travelling through today’s networks is no longer akin to those of the past, which means on-premise Local Area Networks (LAN) and clunky, standard guest WiFi connections are no longer fit for purpose.
