In the realms of IT, it’s difficult to find any instance of a genuinely “unique” product – at least, one that’s unique for the right reasons! Within the security sphere, it’s particularly ...
One of my classic mantras of the past, ooh er, 30+ years has been “throwing bandwidth at a problem doesn’t solve the problem”. So, you would think all those decades later that the penny had dropped ...
In recent blogs – and in many recent conversations with folks from various echelons and shades of IT – I’ve talked about the need for some bravery among the SI and MSP communities to run with some ...
NIS2 – have we another “GDPR” on our hands in its own way here? That’s to say, another “does this apply to us?” mentality that led to an almighty scramble at the last minute (and beyond) for ...
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it might appear to be the season of autumn approaching winter but, for me, it’s been very much the vaulting, or vawlting season. Note – this has nothing ...

Just got back from a Commvault event in London (where I saw more people in 10 seconds than I do in a month in Devon!) which also gave me the opp to catch-up with old PR mate Ben Ralph. In between ...
Well, it’s hard to believe it’s that time of year again already – no, not Christmas, though I’m sure The Range already has a wall of Rudolph-related items of no exact definition lined up at the ...
