Tens of thousands of firewalls compromised worldwide in a campaign called FortiBleed, and the cause wasn't a clever hack. Weak passwords, no multi-factor authentication, and admin systems left exposed online.
AI is now helping attackers do this faster and at greater scale than before.

IT doesn't look reactive because your team isn't performing. It looks reactive because the complexity underneath is invisible to the business.
Reporting and clear service definitions change that. So does having the capacity to actually build them.

Incident response plans look great in a folder. The real question is what happens when an alert comes in and three people want answers before you've worked out what's actually wrong.

We've written about why the gap between the plan and the real incident catches even well-prepared IT teams out, and where the right support makes the difference.

Co-managed IT only works if everyone knows exactly where their lane is.

We handle the capacity and ex*****on - helpdesk overflow, patching, monitoring, documentation, specialist projects. Your IT director keeps direction and leadership - vision, internal priorities, team leadership. And there's a shared zone where we work together - security, cloud strategy, automation, governance.

Less pressure on your internal team. Better delivery. Control stays exactly where it should - with you.

If your IT team could use that kind of breathing room, get in touch.

Just because you spent £100 million and budgeted £100 million doesn't mean you've realised value."

That line from Deloitte's chief AI officer should worry every business owner watching AI costs creep up. It's easy to buy the tools. It's much harder to prove they're actually paying off.

The businesses getting this right aren't the ones spending the most - they're the ones who knew what outcome they wanted before they spent a penny.

If you're investing in AI tools without a clear way to measure what you're getting back, you're not alone. But it's worth fixing before the bill arrives.

Great idea - but only if your data security foundations are in good shape first.

Watch out for a new scam email that looks like a genuine Microsoft Azure alert, because in a way, it is.
Scammers are using Microsoft's own alert system to send real emails with fake billing or security warnings inside them.
If you get one, don't call any number listed!
Check your Azure account directly or give your IT provider a call first.
