October 14, 2025: The Day Windows 10 Becomes a Security Liability. From 14th October 2025, Windows 10 will be officially obsolete—no more security updates, no more support, and an open door for cyber threats. Yet, as of February 2025, 58.7% of devices worldwide are still running Windows 10. Organisations delaying their migration face serious risks: 🔹 Hardware compatibility issues – Older devices may not meet Windows 11’s strict requirements. 🔹 Budget constraints – Upgrading hardware and software is a costly but necessary investment. 🔹 Operational disruption – A poorly planned migration can lead to downtime and frustrated employees. Ignoring This Deadline is Not an Option ⚠️ Unpatched vulnerabilities – Making your organisation a prime target for ransomware and cyber attacks. ⚠️ Regulatory non-compliance – Risking audit failures, fines, and legal consequences. ⚠️ Operational instability – Security breaches and system failures could grind your business to a halt. The Right Approach to a Secure Migration ✅ Audit your IT estate – Identify gaps, risks, and hardware limitations. ✅ Plan a phased transition – Upgrade in manageable stages to minimise disruption. ✅ Consider Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) – A short-term option if immediate migration isn’t possible. ✅ Empower your teams – Ensure employees are trained and IT teams are prepared. If this sounds overwhelming, don’t worry—we can help. Whether you're unsure where to start, need a clear roadmap, or require hands-on support, we have the expertise to make your transition secure, smooth, and stress-free. 💡October 14 is fast approaching. Take action now to protect your organisation from security risks, compliance challenges, and costly disruptions. We’re here to help. https://lnkd.in/eVASym5n #Windows11 #CyberResilience #ITStrategy #DigitalTransformation #UBDSDigital

The government is hoping its recent AI Opportunities Action Plan will give business and our economy a boost, but where are the opportunities and what role will the channel play in its success? Silvia Lehnis shares her opinion and thoughts on the AI Action Plan and how partners and resellers are pivotal in delivering real world results with AI. Key takeaways: 💡 AI Infrastructure Gaps: While some organisations are AI-ready (cloud-enabled, robust security, strong data infrastructure), many still grapple with legacy systems, creating uneven readiness. 💡Channel’s Crucial Role: From educating SMBs on practical AI applications to helping large enterprises deploy and measure meaningful AI outcomes, channel partners bridge the gap. 💡Data Bottleneck: Poor data ownership and governance often stall AI projects. Organisations need to actively manage and structure data for AI to deliver real ROI. 💡Talent Shortage: The UK must compete globally for AI specialists, while also retraining existing professionals. Salaries and incentives abroad highlight the need for a compelling UK proposition. 💡Evolving AI Skills: Demand is shifting from building models to refining and applying them. This opens up new opportunities for professionals beyond traditional data science roles. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/e7R5dfR7 #AIActionPlan #AI

DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) officially took effect in January for financial services operating in the EU.

No financial services business can ignore these requirements. To help you assess where you are on your compliance journey, we’ve created a handy checklist of 8 key actions in an article by our Compliance and Security Consultant, Tracey Hannan-Jones.
