AI has moved from novelty to normal almost overnight. Teams are using tools like ChatGPT to draft emails, summarise meetings, analyse data and speed up everyday work. In many cases, this experimentation is already happening whether leadership knows it or not.

At the end of last month, many of us were shocked to hear of another cyber attack on a healthcare platform, this time one affecting our aged community. The incident once again placed cyber security firmly in the public spotlight, highlighting just how vulnerable even trusted digital services can be.

Moving to the cloud gives organisations speed, flexibility, and scale. But it also introduces new responsibilities. Cloud security isn’t a “set and forget” exercise. Small misconfigurations, left unchecked, can quickly turn into serious security incidents.

Advantage is alerting customers and partners to a rise in fraudulent Microsoft Teams calls targeting New Zealand organisations. The activity involves social engineering tactics designed to trick users into granting unauthorised remote access to their devices.

Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA) has been a cornerstone of account security for years, and for good reason. Adding a second factor dramatically reduces the risk of account compromise. But not all MFA methods offer the same level of protection, and the threat landscape has moved on.

WAN costs rarely creep up overnight. They grow quietly – site by site, contract by contract – until one day the network bill looks surprisingly large for something that “just works”.

When most organisations think about security, they focus on keeping attackers out. Firewalls, MFA, endpoint protection – all essential. But modern attacks assume something different: eventually, someone gets in. This is where microsegmentation becomes critical.

Now officially listed under Secure Email Management and Administration – delivering email security and modern authentication services in partnership with PowerDMARC.

In 2026, vendor rationalisation – especially in technology – is about focusing on fewer, better-aligned partners who deliver real value, not just lower costs or big-brand recognition.

Networking is changing fast. Old-school networks with fixed circuits and manual setups are being replaced by flexible, software-driven systems. For Kiwi businesses, this isn’t just a tech upgrade – it’s a smart move. Here’s why things are shifting and how you can stay ahead.

At the time of writing this article New Zealand is in the throes of a real-life ransomware incident on Manage My Health (MMH) – NZ’s largest patient portal. In this article, we’ll cover how these incidents typically happen and how Managed Detection & Response and a Security Operations Centre reduce the risk and impact.

Cybersecurity shouldn’t be overwhelming, or out of reach. For many organisations, especially small and medium businesses, building strong cyber defences in-house is expensive and complicated. Even larger enterprises struggle to find and keep the right talent for round-the-clock protection. That’s where managed security services come in.
