Microsoft’s securityy playbook for 2026 centers on four interlocking priorities that together reframe identity as the primary control plane for defending modern networks: deploy AI-driven protection at operational speed, treat AI agents as governed identities, stitch identity and network...
Organizations across Mexico and the United States are increasingly recognizing that true cyber resilience is not a product you can buy off a shelf but an engineered outcome achieved through an integrated, multi-layer defense-in-depth architecture that combines native cloud protections...

Microsoft’s new “Access Fabric” message reframes a familiar problem—tool sprawl and siloed controls—as an architectural shortcoming rather than a procurement one, and argues that only a truly unified, contextual, connected, and continuous access model can close the seams attackers exploit in the...
Mustafa Suleyman’s offhand description of Elon Musk as a “bulldozer” and his praise for Sam Altman as “courageous” crystallize a moment in the AI industry where personalities, infrastructure, and governance are colliding — and Microsoft’s AI chief is placing himself squarely at the center of...
Microsoft is bringing another practical, chat-first session of Windows Office Hours on December 18, 2025 — a 60‑minute, text‑based Q&A where Microsoft product teams will answer operational questions about adopting Windows 11, managing device estates with Intune and Configuration Manager...
Microsoft’s blunt reminder landed like a splash of cold water for IT teams: unmanaged, forgotten, or otherwise overlooked devices are not just an operational nuisance — they are a favoured pathway for attackers that can turn a single weak endpoint into a full-blown ransomware crisis. Microsoft’s...
Microsoft is folding premium Microsoft Intune Suite capabilities into Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 subscriptions and bundling new Windows resiliency features into Windows Enterprise E3, delivering an expanded set of AI-driven management, Zero Trust controls, and recovery tools to many enterprise...
Rob Green’s interview with DQ India offers a practical, inside-out view of how an enterprise solutions integrator is moving from pilot projects to agentic, production-grade AI — and why that matters for IT leaders who must balance innovation, security, and regulatory compliance. The conversation...
Microsoft is hosting its November 20, 2025 Windows Office Hours — a one-hour, chat-based Q&A with product teams covering Windows 11 adoption, device management (Intune, Configuration Manager), deployment automation (Autopilot, Windows 365), and security best practices including Zero Trust — and...
Oneclick and Exoscale’s new Windows 11 DaaS offering promises a fast, secure, and European‑sovereign route off the Windows 10 cliff—but the real value for IT teams will depend on careful architecture, contractual clarity, and realistic TCO planning.

Treat this as a fire alarm: four national security agencies have issued coordinated, high‑urgency guidance telling organizations that on‑premises and hybrid Microsoft Exchange Server environments are being actively targeted and must be hardened immediately — and that a separate, critical Windows...
When an industry veteran says “identity is the new perimeter,” they mean more than a slogan — they mean a strategic pivot that should already be reshaping every security program, architecture review, and boardroom risk discussion. In a recent interview reported by IT Brief New Zealand, James...
The countdown to October 14, 2025 has turned a routine lifecycle change into a board‑level strategic moment: with Windows 10 support ending, IT leaders now face a hard deadline that separates tactical fire‑fighting from a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to modernize endpoint estates, strengthen...
Amazon Web Services suffered a broad regional outage early on October 20 that knocked dozens of widely used apps and platforms offline — from team collaboration tools and video calls to social apps, bank services and smart-home devices — with early evidence pointing to DNS-resolution problems...
