Why no business is safe from state-sponsored cyber attacks

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The threat landscape is evolving at an alarming rate, and business leaders who may have previously believed that nation-state attacks are a problem for governments alone are increasingly mistaken. The latest revelations surrounding China’s Volt Typhoon and Salt Typhoon campaigns should serve as a wake-up call to executives worldwide. These are not theoretical threats—they are calculated, long-term infiltrations into critical infrastructure, and no company or country is off-limits. While the bulk of the activity surrounding these operations has focused on the United States, the underlying objective is clear: establish persistent access to key systems that, when needed, can be exploited for geopolitical leverage. In other words, these attacks are not just about stealing secrets—they are about preparing to disrupt entire industries and nations when it is strategically advantageous to do so. And the UK, along with Europe and other Five Eyes nations, i...

Nikon unveils the Z5 II full-frame mirrorless camera – entry-level just got better, and pricier

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Same 24.5MP full-frame stabilized sensor as Nikon Zf Latest Expeed 7 processor delivers a raft of performance improvements Pricier than Z5 at launch, costing £1,599 / AU$2,699 body-only (US pricing TBC) Nikon has unveiled the successor to its Z5 entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera : the powerful – and pricier – Z5 II. It's probably about time – the 24MP Z5 was launched in 2020 and was beginning to look a little dated, especially for high-speed photography and video. Nikon has pushed the boat out with the Z5 II – the second-gen model delivers several performance-based improvements and inherits a raft of flagship features, including superb autofocus skills. These improvements mirror how the Nikon Z50 II improved on the Z50 – it was a decent if not radical upgrade. The rub, however, is that the Z5 II feels pricey for an entry-level model, and is close to stepping on the toes of Nikon's mid-range models; so much so, in fact, t...

How to get your business ready for AI: closing the skills gaps

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The recent AI Action Summit has placed artificial intelligence at the forefront of business transformation, but there is a growing gap between AI implementation and workforce readiness emerging. While companies invest heavily in cutting-edge AI tools , many lack structured approaches to building essential AI competencies within their teams – a disconnect that threatens to undermine the very benefits these technologies promise to deliver. As organizations grapple with ongoing challenges, from the macroeconomy to changing data policies to the competition for AI talent, the need to develop AI literacy has become a practical necessity rather than a future consideration. Add to that, the rising workforce expectations around flexible work and career development opportunities, and it’s clear that organizations must reimagine how they prepare their teams and also how their employees benefit from the adoption of AI. The current state of AI adoption Organ...

Technical capabilities on the horizon for conversational AI

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Right now, AI is the dumbest it will ever be. I hear that line all the time. Our favorite adjectives of “unprecedented” or “exponential growth” can’t quite capture the pace at which AI is learning, iterating, and advancing. The models that wow us today might be rudimentary tomorrow. It’s both a scary and thrilling thought. Scary, when we think of regulations playing catch up, the computational bandwidth it might require, and ensuring tech stack agility. But thrilling when we think of the innovation, scale, and productivity just on the horizon. For now, let’s focus on the latter. One of the most notable “up-and-coming” sectors of AI is in conversational voice and chat. Right now its market valuation is at $5.8 billion. In three years it’s expected to hit $31.9 billion – a 450% increase. AI-powered agents offer a level of precision in customer engagement we haven’t seen before. They’re simultaneously analyzing historical and behavioral data whil...
