Unexpected expenses are a major headache for business leaders and CFOs. They can blow a hole in the budget and demand a complete rethinking of a carefully developed strategy.

Unpredictable IT costs are among the worst. Most organizations today need core systems and applications to keep their operations running.

Business leaders seldom think much about their physical security systems. As long as the system is working, it doesn’t get much consideration.

However, legacy systems create significant risk, not just to physical security but to the IT infrastructure.

Few organizations have the skills needed to combat rising cyber threats.

Recent surveys indicate that few organizations feel prepared to handle the rising sophistication of cyberattacks. Of particular concern are increasing geopolitical risks and attacks involving AI. A 2025 Accenture report found that 90 percent of large organizations are unprepared to protect against AI-enabled threats.

Modernizing the backup environment and keeping backups secure play an essential role in protecting business-critical data against rising threats.

In an increasingly data-driven world, legacy backup systems and strategies no longer provide adequate data protection.

Data protection is a foundational IT practice for every organization. Data loss can hamper productivity or even bring operations to a halt. A security breach can expose sensitive and strategic information, resulting in a damaged reputation, customer churn, and potential fines and legal challenges.

Users in most organizations access applications and data via their mobile devices. AI-powered apps are no exception, but the Wi-Fi network may be slowing them down.

A high-performance Wi-Fi network is the nervous system of modern AI, providing the essential infrastructure for data-intensive applications to function reliably.

Everyone’s talking about AI, chatbots and self-service portals. These technologies are seeing rapid adoption and will play an increasingly important role in customer service.

However, voice remains the dominant and preferred form of business communication, especially for complex issues.

Skyrocketing costs, significant waste and AI adoption are making cloud optimization a leading trend.

Virtually all organizations are using cloud services in some capacity. However, far fewer are using it effectively due to persistent challenges with waste, cost management and security.

An effective cyber resilience strategy helps organizations withstand a cyberattack and recover quickly with minimal impact on their operations.

Cybersecurity is no longer sufficient in today’s threat environment. Organizations must do more than simply prevent malware attacks or unauthorized access.

Firewall. Check.

Backups. Check.

Cyber insurance. Check.

We’re protected against ransomware. Not so fast.

Most organizations recognize that ransomware remains a serious threat. However, too many organizations think they’re protected when they have basic security measures in place.
