Google recently released important research that moves Q-Day - the day quantum computers will be able to 'break the Internet' - up to 2029. How should enterprises secure their systems?

Fully encrypted email has been available in at least some form for Gmail since the end of 2022, but now it's finally ready for mobile. Google is now offering end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for Gmail on Android devices and iPhones through the official email app.

For so many years, the hyperscalers and cloud builders have dominated IT spending and much of the talk about system architecture. But the AI model builders, particularly Anthropic and OpenAI, are now their peers when it comes to massive infrastructure investments, and what they do - and do not do - also shapes the AI landscape.

Some AI workloads now demand microsecond-scale responsiveness, deterministic networking, and high-throughput processing - requirements honed over decades in HFT.

Using a single cloud provider for AI infrastructure can have its limitations. Discover the benefits businesses can realize by opting for a multi-cloud AI strategy.

AI is one of the most important new technologies of our time. It is changing how businesses work and changing whole industries.
