On May 25, 2018, the E.U.’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) come into force. Despite the Brexit negotiations, U.K. companies and even U.S. data centers with customers and customer data residing in the E.U. will have to comply. In fact, any company from any part of the world with customers located within the E.U. must…

Time is also running out rapidly for GDPR compliance; the regulations come into force in May 2018, and so there’s no time to waste. If you haven’t started the process yet, then start saving up for the fines because these are not going to be cheap. For example, last year, Talk Talk’s fine of £400,000…

Clive Longbottom, Client Services Director of analyst firm Quocirca, says that ransomware attacks don’t usually begin with a DDoS attack: “This is quite an unusual one. The core ransomware attacks are carried out through dropping emails or web links through to individuals who then download a payload onto their machine. That payload then, at some…

It’s therefore important to maintain generations of data sets, not only locally…

Banks have often looked upon the public cloud with suspicion, cautiously stepping around it while initially preferring the private cloud model as the most secure option in their view. The half-way house is the hybrid cloud model, which allows sensitive transactional data to be locked up in a private cloud, while public clouds have been…

David Trossell, CEO and CTO of Bridgeworks, answers the question: "Is the dark view of AI really justified?" Published on 20th February 2017 by IT Pro Portal. By-lined to David Trossell. #YearInReview

“Speaking from the point of view of someone in the technology industry, David Trossell, CEO of Bridge Works, a data acceleration company, says Brexit will bring about “a complete change to the current modus operandi with new UK laws replacing EU regulations, or there will be a compromise”. Like many others, Trossell acknowledges the uncertainty…
