The UK’s manufacturing sector has been severely tested by cybersecurity attacks since the start of the pandemic, according to new research by Keeper Security. In fact, the 2021 Cybersecurity Census Report found the average manufacturing company experienced 30 cyberattacks during the past year alone, with 85 per cent expecting that figure to increase over the coming 12 months.

Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, representing 99 per cent of businesses and employing over 16 million people. Fast-growing and innovative, they help to drive long-term economic productivity and growth. It is therefore vital that SMBs are equipped with essential digital tools and technical support. Rob Hancock, Head of Platform, Giacom explains why SMBs are the future of the new normal and what the channel can do to enable and equip this growing sector more effectively.

There is no denying that MSPs are operating in a highly competitive marketplace. On one side of the market there are emerging and high-growth MSPs, and on the other side are much larger, ‘super’ MSPs. While this provides end customers with more choice and the freedom to choose their solution based on the level of support they need, for MSPs, this competition can sometimes be a threat to business growth. This is according to David Weeks, Senior Director, Partner Experience, N-able.

Organisations have been slow to adopt and integrate meaningful sustainability practices. But as pressure from consumers increases, Christina Klein, Head of Global Solution Partners at Lansweeper explains why organisations are recognising the importance of sustainability to their operations and prioritising it as a key business initiative.
