What happens when your ransomware recovery plan takes 7 days, but regulators expect critical services restored in 48 to 72 hours?

For many organisations, that's the reality.

According to industry research, 53% of organisations take up to seven days to recover compromised endpoints after a cyber attack. Meanwhile, regulatory expectations continue to tighten, creating a growing gap between recovery capabilities and compliance requirements.

In this video, Steve Boi from Insentra explains why endpoint recovery speed has become a business and regulatory issue, not just an IT challenge.

Learn how organisations can:
• Reduce endpoint recovery times
• Restore secure workforce access faster
• Improve business continuity
• Strengthen cyber resilience against ransomware

Most businesses are asking the wrong question.

"Should we choose Microsoft Copilot Cowork or Claude Cowork?"

According to Lee Foster, that's like comparing two vehicles powered by the same engine and assuming one must win.

In this latest article, Lee breaks down why the popular "Microsoft vs Anthropic" narrative misses the point entirely.

The real question isn't which platform is better.

It's which platform fits your business.

✅ M365-centric organisation with governance requirements?
✅ Multi-platform workflows across Slack, Notion, Gmail and more?
✅ Enterprise deployment or individual productivity gains?

The answer depends on where your work lives, who is using it, and what compliance requirements you need to satisfy.

One of the most important insights?

Many businesses will benefit from using both.

This is one of the clearest explanations I've seen of the emerging Cowork landscape and what it means for business leaders making AI decisions in 2026.

Microsoft's latest Work Trend Index revealed something that should get every business leader's attention.

Only 16% of AI users qualify as "Frontier Professionals".

The other 84%?

They're using AI, but they're not fundamentally changing how they work.

In this insightful article, Lee Foster explores what separates the professionals pulling ahead from those simply experimenting with prompts.

The difference isn't access to better tools.

It's a different operating philosophy.

Frontier Professionals:
✓ Delegate complete tasks, not just prompts
✓ Set quality standards before AI starts working
✓ Share AI practices across their teams
✓ Know exactly what to automate and what to keep human

The emergence of Microsoft Copilot Cowork and Claude Cowork is accelerating this divide.

While most people are asking AI questions, the top performers are building systems where AI handles entire projects in the background.

The gap isn't coming.

It's already here.

The question is whether you're building the habits that move you into the 16%.

Most organisations think their AI agent problem is technology.

It isn't.

The most common reason AI agents underperform happens long before anyone writes a prompt, configures a workflow, or launches a build.

It's the absence of a specification.

In this latest article, Lee Foster explores why so many AI projects end up in endless cycles of rebuilding, tweaking and disappointment.

The pattern is surprisingly consistent:

➡️ An idea feels clear in someone's head
➡️ The team starts building immediately
➡️ The outputs aren't quite right
➡️ The prompts get rewritten
➡️ The rebuilds begin

The real issue?

Nobody clearly defined:
• What problem the agent is solving
• Who it's for
• What data it can use
• What success looks like
• What it must never do

Without those answers, you're not building from a plan.

You're building from a hunch.

A simple discipline adopted early can save weeks of rework, improve trust, and dramatically increase the chances of deployment success.

If you're considering AI agents in your business, this is essential reading before you build anything.

For years, SMB file shares have been one of the biggest roadblocks preventing organisations from fully retiring on-premises Active Directory.

Microsoft's general availability release of Entra-Only identities for Azure Files changes that.

Organisations can now provide secure, identity-based SMB access using cloud-only Microsoft Entra ID identities, without requiring Active Directory, hybrid synchronisation, or Entra Domain Services.

Key benefits include:
✅ Accelerated Active Directory retirement
✅ Reduced infrastructure and operational costs
✅ Cloud-native Azure Virtual Desktop and FSLogix deployments
✅ Stronger governance through centralised identity and access controls
✅ Better alignment with Zero Trust security principles

Perhaps most importantly, organisations can modernise file services while preserving existing SMB compatibility, folder structures, and NTFS permissions.

In this latest article, James Brombergs explores why this announcement matters, what we're seeing in the market, and how organisations can turn this capability into a broader transformation opportunity.

The average ransomware attack now causes 24.6 days of downtime.

That's nearly a month of disrupted operations, delayed revenue, reduced productivity, and potential damage to customer trust.
The biggest cost of ransomware often isn't the ransom itself. It's the downtime that follows.

Business resilience depends on how quickly your workforce can reconnect securely and resume work. If endpoint recovery takes days instead of minutes, the impact can be significant.

As Steve Boi, Account Director at Insentra, highlights, organisations need to focus not only on data recovery but also on workforce recovery.
With IGEL, organisations can reduce endpoint attack surfaces and enable secure workforce recovery when incidents occur.

They attended the workshop. Read the articles. Heard the AI presentations.

Then they went back to their desk and changed nothing.

The biggest barrier to AI adoption isn't technology. It's relevance.

In this thought-provoking article, Lee Foster explores why so many employees remain stuck despite the constant noise around AI. The problem isn't resistance. It's the absence of a clear connection between AI and an individual's everyday work.

When people don't understand:
• How AI applies to their role
• What tasks it can help with
• What it means for their future

They wait.

The organisations seeing real results from AI aren't just rolling out tools. They're helping people identify practical use cases that matter to them personally.

Because AI adoption doesn't start with technology.

It starts with a conversation.

You've drafted the brief. The AI understands the task. Yet you still hesitate to click send.

The biggest barrier to AI adoption is no longer capability. It's trust.

In this latest article, Lee Foster explores how Microsoft's Copilot Cowork and Anthropic's Claude Cowork are reshaping the way we work with AI through a new trust architecture built around planning, visibility, and human oversight.

The shift is significant:
✅ From prompting to delegation
✅ From constant supervision to checkpoints
✅ From AI as a tool to AI as a coworker

The organisations gaining the most leverage from AI in 2026 aren't using better tools. They're building better delegation habits.

78% of knowledge workers now use AI agents weekly, yet only 16% are achieving what Microsoft calls "Frontier Professional" results.

The difference is not access to AI. It is the ability to supervise it.

The most valuable role emerging in 2026 is the Agent Supervisor. Someone who can direct, review, refine, and orchestrate AI agents to deliver outcomes that were previously impossible or impractical.

The businesses gaining the greatest advantage are not using AI to do the same work faster. They are redesigning work itself.

As Lee Foster explores in this article, the future belongs to professionals who can combine human judgement with AI ex*****on.

Are you still using AI as a tool, or are you learning to lead a team of agents?

Every organisation gets the same out-of-the-box capabilities. The businesses creating real advantage are building Copilot Skills tailored to their own data, workflows, and people.

A well-designed skill can:

• Review proposals against past winning submissions
• Streamline client onboarding
• Enforce compliance standards
• Connect SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, CRM, and Power Automate workflows

When combined with a Cowork model, AI handles the repetitive work while people focus on judgment, creativity, and decision-making.

The question isn't whether you have Copilot.

The question is whether you've built the skills that make it uniquely yours.

Read Lee Foster's latest article to discover why Copilot Skills may be the competitive advantage most businesses haven't built yet.
