The standard advice for years has been that multi-factor authentication is the best single thing you can do to protect your accounts, and that's still worth following. However, the attacks we're dealing with week to week have stopped trying to beat it, and started going around it. So what are they actually after?

Microsoft has recently kicked off a campaign to resolve all sorts of issues people have had with how Windows 11 works. The latest feature in that list is the main search tool in the operating system. They've already released a beta version of these changes to certain users, so what can the rest of us expect to see soon?

Anthropic, the AI firm behind "Claude", released an even better model called "Fable" in June. However, this was a blink-and-you-miss-it event for a while, as the US government had effectively banned its use 3 days later. Is this the best way to regulate AI?

You may have caught rumblings that following the recent attempt by the UK government to prevent children from accessing adult content, they are now looking at ways of extending this further. Is this going to extend to banning VPNs?

So, the future is here. We now have access to a magic box that can do all sorts of tricks. However, the question we're now being asked increasingly often (and also ask ourselves) is "Now what"? How exactly do I use this thing to help me with my work? As you can probably imagine, there's not a one-size-fits-all answer.

Fed up with endless unskippable Windows updates? Microsoft has heard you. Changes are coming to the update process that will allow you to defer them for a few weeks at a time. Ironically, it's possible this couldn't be happening at a worse time...

You may have seen in the news recently that a new AI tool called "Mythos" has been made available to various large organsations following the revelation that it had found hundreds of critical security issues in every single one of the systems we use every day (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Chrome and everything else besides). What are the implications of this?

We have mentioned either directly or in passing in previous analysis blogs that we're always on the lookout for opportunities to harness the latest AI tools within our systems and see how they shape up. We've made a big change to our own internal CRM along these lines. Here's what we've learnt so far.
