Cybersecurity has become one of the most operationally critical managed services categories for insurers, because the industry combines high-value financial workflows with sensitive data. As a result, insurers are now increasingly focused on cybersecurity run ownership: 24×7 coverage, faster containment, audit defensibility, and resilience under disruption.  This matters for service providers because cybersecurity is now a meaningful growth lever inside overall insurance services outsourcing. In CY24, insurance cybersecurity managed services (CMS) spend was ~US$2.4-2.7 billion, and is growing at 11–13% CAGR (2025–27), making it a structurally attractive segment to win and expand.  A market split: mid-market insurers buy “packaged run,” while Tier-1 insurers buy “co-managed scale”   Across insurers, the buying motion is increasingly segment-driven:  Mid-market insurers (DWP = $1-10 billion) tend to contract fully Managed Security…

While the tech world obsesses over GPU clusters and training models, a fundamental infrastructure gap threatens to limit AI’s real-world impact. Hunter Newby, a telecom veteran who built carrier hotels and internet exchange points across North America, argues that the shift from AI training to AI inferencing will expose a critical weakness: many cities and entire states lack the neutral interconnection infrastructure needed to support low-latency AI applications. AI and low-latency inferencing AI inferencing operates on a completely different model than traditional internet traffic. Where content delivery networks cached static content, AI inference requires real-time, deterministic routing with guaranteed latency…

In this article, you will learn how temperature and seed values influence failure modes in agentic loops, and how to tune them for greater resilience. Topics we will cover include: How low and high temperature settings can produce distinct failure patterns in agentic loops. Why fixed seed values can undermine robustness in production environments. How to use temperature and seed adjustments to build more resilient and cost-effective agent workflows. Let’s not waste any more time. Why Agents Fail: The Role of Seed Values and Temperature in Agentic LoopsImage by Editor Introduction In the modern AI landscape, an agent loop is…

In today’s IT environment, cloud data platforms are table stakes. What separates organizations that truly accelerate analytics and AI from those that struggle isn’t getting data to the cloud, it’s getting it ready once it’s there. That’s why I’m excited to introduce ETL powered by Matillion, now part of the Precisely Data Integrity Suite. Our partnership with Matillion brings cloud-native ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) and scalable data transformation directly into the Suite. For Precisely, this new offering doesn’t just extend ETL functionality – it completes it. We’re now able to bring robust transformation into the same architecture customers rely…

Part 2 in our series on workload security covers why knowing “who” and “what” behind every action in your environment is becoming the most urgent — and least solved — problem in enterprise security In Part 1 of this series, we reached three conclusions: The battlefield has shifted to cloud-native, container-aware, AI-accelerated offensive tools — VoidLink being the most advanced example — specifically engineered for the Kubernetes environments; most security organizations are functionally blind to this environment; and closing that gap requires runtime security at the kernel level. But we left one critical thread underdeveloped: identity. We called identity “the connective tissue” between runtime detection…

Image: Freepik Over the past decade, consumer attitudes in the botanical and cannabis space have gone through a radical shift. What used to be all about end-product potency and price point has started to take a back seat to more in-depth questions : where was this grown, what kind of soil was it grown in, was it even tested for any nasties? This growing demand for supply chain transparency actually has some real world implications – not just for your own health but for the planet too. This article breaks down the lowdown on clean cultivation, what the science is…

Large hyperscale data centre projects are very much subject to delays, thanks in part to their advanced construction methods which mean companies involved are having to learn new techniques and adhere to different, higher standards, on the fly. The shortage of skilled labour and materials, plus delayed access to local power and water add to the delays besetting the DC industry. The limits on available capacity and these supply chain constraints mean that new DCs dedicated to run AI workloads are taking much longer to come online than many would like. However, the edge sector has its own solutions to…

Silicon-carbon batteries have been leading phones to eyebrow-raising battery life, and the Realme P4 Power includes one of the biggest batteries we’ve seen in a phone. It’s setting an even higher benchmark with a 10,001mAh battery. By comparison, this is double the capacity we see in more mainstream phones like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which includes a 5,000mAh battery.The Realme phone surpasses what we’ve seen in other phones with this type of battery, including the OnePlus 15’s 7,300mAh battery and the RedMagic 11 Pro’s 7,500mAh battery. Phones with batteries of this scale provide up to two days of use…

Wheelchair users with severe disabilities can often navigate tight spaces better than most robotic systems can. A wave of new smart-wheelchair research, including findings presented in Anaheim, Calif., earlier this month, is now testing whether AI-powered systems can, or should, fully close this gap.Christian Mandel—senior researcher at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in Bremen, Germany—co-led a research team together with his colleague Serge Autexier that developed prototype sensor-equipped electric wheelchairs designed to navigate a roomful of potential obstacles. The researchers also tested a new safety system that integrated sensor data from the wheelchair and from sensors in…

A silicon metasurface uses polarization of light as a key, allowing different encrypted holographic images to be recovered from the same structure under different illumination conditions. Study: Theoretical Study of Polarization Holographic Encryption via a Nano-Structural Metasurface. Image Credit: metamorworks/Shutterstock.com The study, published in Nanomaterials, describes a theoretical design for a dual-channel holographic encryption system built from silicon nanorods on a SiO2 substrate. Using an improved Gerchberg–Saxton (GS) algorithm and Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulations, the team showed that two separate images could be encoded into a single metasurface and selectively reconstructed with left- or right-circularly polarized light. Saving this for…
