A few years ago, getting cyber insurance meant ticking a few boxes on a two-page form. Not anymore. After waves of ransomware claims, insurers have become far more selective – and backups are now one of the first things underwriters check. Ransomware was involved in 44% of breaches analysed in Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations […]
NIS2 Backup Requirements Explained: A Practical Checklist for IT Managers
NIS2 is no longer a future problem. The EU directive has been in force since January 2023, the transposition deadline passed on 17 October 2024, and national laws are now being enforced. Germany’s NIS2 implementation act took effect in December 2025, the Netherlands followed in August 2026, and in July 2026 the European Commission referred […]
ArtCraft: A Free, AI-Built Alternative to Adobe and Microsoft Office – First Impressions
Every few months someone announces “the free Photoshop killer”. Usually it’s a hobby project that quietly disappears. ArtCraft is different – not because it has already replaced Adobe or Microsoft, but because of how it was built, how quickly it’s moving, and what it tells us about where AI-assisted software development is heading. In early […]
NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11.2.2: vSphere 9.1, Proxmox VE 9.2 and More
NAKIVO has released Backup & Replication 11.2.2, adding full support for VMware vSphere 9.1, broader operating system coverage for physical machine backups and several fixes for existing backup and replication workflows.

DORA vs. NIS2: What Changes for IT Teams in Finance and Critical Industries
Two pieces of EU legislation now define how organisations must manage cyber risk: the NIS2 Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). They overlap heavily, use similar language and were negotiated at the same time – so it’s no surprise that many IT teams aren’t sure which one applies to them, or whether both […]
Passkeys in the Enterprise: A Rollout Guide for IT Admins
Passwords are still the weakest link in most organisations. They get phished, reused, sprayed and leaked – and even traditional MFA with push notifications or SMS codes can be bypassed by modern phishing kits that relay sessions in real time. Passkeys fix that. They’re phishing-resistant, based on the FIDO2/WebAuthn standard, and – once set up […]
Veeam Data Platform 13.1 Released with XCP-ng Support
It’s official: Veeam now supports XCP-ng. With Veeam Data Platform v13.1, released on 30 July 2026, XCP-ng became a fully supported hypervisor in Veeam Backup & Replication – alongside Citrix XenServer, Sangfor aSV, VergeIO, Platform9 and (shortly after) Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. For many XCP-ng users this was the missing piece. XCP-ng has grown fast […]
How to Test Your Disaster Recovery Plan Without Breaking Production
Every IT team has a disaster recovery plan. Far fewer have proof that it works. The usual reason isn’t laziness – it’s fear. Testing DR sounds like pulling the plug on production and hoping for the best, and no one wants to explain to the CEO why the ERP system went down on a Tuesday […]
Why You Need to Back Up Microsoft Entra ID (and How to Do It)
Most organisations back up their file servers, virtual machines and – increasingly – Microsoft 365 mailboxes and SharePoint. But the system that controls access to all of them often has no backup at all: Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure Active Directory. That’s a problem. Entra ID holds your users, groups, app registrations, Conditional Access policies […]
Life After Windows 10 End of Support: What IT Teams Should Do with Remaining Machines
Windows 10 reached end of support on 14 October 2025. A year later, it’s still running on a lot of business PCs – on machines that can’t run Windows 11, on systems tied to legacy software, and on devices nobody had time to replace. On 14 October 2026, the second year of Microsoft’s Extended Security […]
