When Microsoft rolled out Windows Server 2025 last November, it marked a turning point in how IT teams think about monitoring. Suddenly, AI-powered features like anomaly detection, predictive resolution, and even self-healing aren’t ideas on a roadmap — they’re built into the very fabric of enterprise infrastructure.

Carrier pigeons once flapped through war zones with vital messages. Today? Sensor fusion delivers battlefield intel faster than thought. The fight isn’t just about who has the data, it’s about who moves on it first. Speed wins wars now! Read how it’s changing the game, how deployable command and control (C2) nodes can help, and why network slicing is a key ingredient in building a resilient, high-speed transport network: Carrier Pigeons to Sensor Fusion: Speed Matters in Information.

We love to talk about IT revolutions. We celebrate the leaps in innovation that change how we work and live. We look at the 1980s and see the personal computer, which turned computing from a command-line chore into an intuitive experience for everyone. We point to the 1990s as the decade the internet connected the world, the 2000s as the era when virtualization and the cloud broke the chains of physical hardware, and this decade as the dawn of mainstream AI. Each of these moments was transformative.

Jezzibell Gilmore’s latest blog dives into the critical challenge network operators face: bridging the gap between massive traffic growth and understanding its actual cost. Learn why real-time, traffic-based cost intelligence is no longer optional for maintaining margins and driving revenue in today’s complex network landscape.

Every business builds strong defences to keep attackers out. Firewalls and DDoS protection serve that purpose, standing guard over company apps and websites, like knights at the castle gate keeping out trolls (not just the ones on X). But here’s the problem: those defences only work if users actually walk through the front gate. Sometimes, people find hidden paths or side doors around your walls, so the guards never see them enter.

We recently delivered a webinar titled IT/OT Convergence: Proactive Threat Detection for Industrial Control Systems (also available via Brighttalk).
