The recent breach of the European Commission’s cloud infrastructure was contained quickly enough that Europa.eu websites stayed online throughout. By most visible measures, it looked like a limited incident. The forensic picture that has emerged since tells a different story. CERT-EU published its technical breakdown on April 3. Attackers acquired an AWS API key on March 19 through the […]
Cloud data encryption is supposed to be a solved problem. Organisations have been investing in data security for years, deploying platform after platform, and signing off on security budgets that continue to increase. And yet the 2026 Thales Data Threat Report, published last month and based on a survey of 3,120 IT and security professionals worldwide, […]
AI is pushing technology companies to rethink the foundations of cloud computing. As more businesses adopt AI tools, the industry is spending heavily on the hardware and data centres needed to run them. Much of the current spending is focused on infrastructure rather than software. Chips, networking equipment, power systems, and large data centres are […]
Famous Labs is a technology company building a portfolio of autonomous software platforms designed to execute complex workflows in multiple domains. Rather than operating as a single-product startup, Famous Labs functions as a parent company coordinating several execution-focused platforms under a shared architectural framework. The company is developing infrastructure that shifts software from assistance toward […]
The way people shop online and in stores is changing. Large retailers are trying new ways to make search, product discovery and support feel more fluid and more personalised. The Australian retail group Wesfarmers unveiled a partnership with Google Cloud designed to do just that, using advanced AI tools to build a new customer experience […]
Alphabet’s expanding AI cloud infrastructure push shows how demand is putting real pressure on the systems that power enterprise computing. Hyperscale providers are responding by sharply increasing spending on compute capacity, but supply remains tight as AI workloads grow faster than data centre buildouts. Alphabet’s latest earnings call offered a clear window into that tension. […]
AI is starting to change how large organisations use cloud data platforms. What began as a way to store information cheaply and scale analytics has become central to reporting, dashboards, and business intelligence. The shift now is not where data lives in the cloud, but who can work with it and how quickly insights can […]
If you are a security leader, you will need to be able to answer the following questions: where is your sensitive data? Who can access it? And is it being used safely? In the age of generative AI, it’s increasingly becoming a struggle to answer all three. An October whitepaper from Concentric AI outlines the […]
Large financial institutions rarely overhaul their technology in one dramatic move. Change tends to happen in stages, with systems gradually shifted, consolidated, and refined over time. Nationwide Building Society’s expanded cloud services partnership with AWS fits squarely into that pattern. Rather than signalling a new direction, the agreement reflects a decision to go further down […]
China’s cloud market is entering a new phase, shaped less by basic storage and more by who can support large AI workloads at scale. Established providers still dominate, but the list of serious contenders is starting to change. ByteDance, long tied to consumer apps like TikTok and Douyin, is now making a clearer push into […]
