Varity heeft zijn Europese SCION-netwerk verder uitgebreid met een nieuwe core bij NorthC Datacenters. De toevoeging moet zorgen voor meer schaalbaarheid en veiligheid binnen het netwerk, dat gericht is op gecontroleerde en betrouwbare dataroutes.

SCION (Scalability, Control and Isolation on Next-generation Networks) is een alternatieve netwerkarchitectuur die organisaties meer controle geeft over hun dataverkeer. In tegenstelling tot het traditionele Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) maakt SCION gebruik van vaste, transparante routes, waardoor risico’s zoals route-kapingen en onvoorspelbare datastromen worden beperkt.

De nieuwe SCION-core is geplaatst binnen het datacenterplatform van NorthC, dat actief is in Nederland, Duitsland en Zwitserland. Volgens beide partijen biedt deze samenwerking klanten een extra keuzemogelijkheid voor veilige, regionale netwerkverbindingen.

Met de uitbreiding wil Varity inspelen op de groeiende behoefte aan veilige en schaalbare netwerkoplossingen binnen Europa. Steeds meer organisaties verkennen SCION-connectiviteit als alternatief voor het huidige internet, onder meer vanwege de nadruk op routecontrole, isolatie en veerkracht tegen cyberdreigingen.

Microsoft today released software updates to plug a whopping 172 security holes in its Windows operating systems, including at least two vulnerabilities that are already being actively exploited. October’s Patch Tuesday also marks the final month that Microsoft will ship security updates for Windows 10 systems. If you’re running a Windows 10 PC and you’re unable or unwilling to migrate to Windows 11, read on for other options.

The first zero-day bug addressed this month (CVE-2025-24990) involves a third-party modem driver called Agere Modem that’s been bundled with Windows for the past two decades. Microsoft responded to active attacks on this flaw by completely removing the vulnerable driver from Windows.

The other zero-day is CVE-2025-59230, an elevation of privilege vulnerability in Windows Remote Access Connection Manager (also known as RasMan), a service used to manage remote network connections through virtual private networks (VPNs) and dial-up networks.

“While RasMan is a frequent flyer on Patch Tuesday, appearing more than 20 times since January 2022, this is the first time we’ve seen it exploited in the wild as a zero day,” said Satnam Narang, senior staff research engineer at Tenable.

Narang notes that Microsoft Office users should also take note of CVE-2025-59227 and CVE-2025-59234, a pair of remote code execution bugs that take advantage of “Preview Pane,” meaning that the target doesn’t even need to open the file for exploitation to occur. To execute these flaws, an attacker would social engineer a target into previewing an email with a malicious Microsoft Office document.

Speaking of Office, Microsoft quietly announced this week that Microsoft Word will now automatically save documents to OneDrive, Microsoft’s cloud platform. Users who are uncomfortable saving all of their documents to Microsoft’s cloud can change this in Word’s settings; ZDNet has a useful how-to on disabling this feature.

Kev Breen, senior director of threat research at Immersive, called attention to CVE-2025-59287, a critical remote code execution bug in the Windows Server Update Service  (WSUS) — the very same Windows service responsible for downloading security patches for Windows Server versions. Microsoft says there are no signs this weakness is being exploited yet. But with a threat score of 9.8 out of possible 10 and marked “exploitation more likely,” CVE-2025-59287 can be exploited without authentication and is an easy “patch now” candidate.

“Microsoft provides limited information, stating that an unauthenticated attacker with network access can send untrusted data to the WSUS server, resulting in deserialization and code execution,” Breen wrote. “As WSUS is a trusted Windows service that is designed to update privileged files across the file system, an attacker would have free rein over the operating system and could potentially bypass some EDR detections that ignore or exclude the WSUS service.”

For more on other fixes from Redmond today, check out the SANS Internet Storm Center monthly roundup, which indexes all of the updates by severity and urgency.

Windows 10 isn’t the only Microsoft OS that is reaching end-of-life today; Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Skype for Business 2016, Windows 11 IoT Enterprise Version 22H2, and Outlook 2016 are some of the other products that Microsoft is sunsetting today.

If you’re running any Windows 10 systems, you’ve probably already determined whether your PC meets the technical hardware specs recommended for the Windows 11 OS. If you’re reluctant or unable to migrate a Windows 10 system to Windows 11, there are alternatives to simply continuing to use Windows 10 without ongoing security updates.

One option is to pay for another year’s worth of security updates through Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. The cost is just $30 if you don’t have a Microsoft account, and apparently free if you register the PC to a Microsoft account. This video breakdown from Ask Your Computer Guy does a good job of walking Windows 10 users through this process. Microsoft emphasizes that ESU enrollment does not provide other types of fixes, feature improvements or product enhancements. It also does not come with technical support.

If your Windows 10 system is associated with a Microsoft account and signed in when you visit Windows Update, you should see an option to enroll in extended updates. Image: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZH7MlvOoPM

Windows 10 users also have the option of installing some flavor of Linux instead. Anyone seriously considering this option should check out the website endof10.org, which includes a plethora of tips and a DIY installation guide.

Linux Mint is a great option for Linux newbies. Like most modern Linux versions, Mint will run on anything with a 64-bit CPU that has at least 2GB of memory, although 4GB is recommended. In other words, it will run on almost any computer produced in the last decade.

Linux Mint also is likely to be the most intuitive interface for regular Windows users, and it is largely configurable without any fuss at the text-only command-line prompt. Mint and other flavors of Linux come with LibreOffice, which is an open source suite of tools that includes applications similar to Microsoft Office, and it can open, edit and save documents as Microsoft Office files.

If you’d prefer to give Linux a test drive before installing it on a Windows PC, you can always just download it to a removable USB drive. From there, reboot the computer (with the removable drive plugged in) and select the option at startup to run the operating system from the external USB drive. If you don’t see an option for that after restarting, try restarting again and hitting the F8 button, which should open a list of bootable drives. Here’s a fairly thorough tutorial that walks through exactly how to do all this.

And if this is your first time trying out Linux, relax and have fun: The nice thing about a “live” version of Linux (as it’s called when the operating system is run from a removable drive such as a CD or a USB stick) is that none of your changes persist after a reboot. Even if you somehow manage to break something, a restart will return the system back to its original state.

As ever, if you experience any difficulties during or after applying this month’s batch of patches, please leave a note about it in the comments below.

The digital age is here, and it’s changing everything about how we live and work. From how we connect with each other to how businesses operate, technology is at the center of it all. This article looks at some of the big shifts happening and what they mean for us. We’ll cover how companies are changing, what people expect now, and how we can all keep up with the fast pace of new information on technology.

Key Takeaways

• Digital transformation is about more than just new tech; it involves changing how businesses run and how people work, focusing on innovation, better processes, and a culture that accepts change.
• People today expect things instantly and want easy access to solutions, pushing businesses to adapt quickly and shorten the time it takes to get what they need.
• Trust is a big deal online. With so much fake information out there, brands need to be clear and honest to build confidence with customers.
• AI is changing jobs, but the focus should be on using it to help people do their work better, not replace them, while also looking after employee well-being.
• As we get more digital, there’s a growing desire for real-life connections and authentic experiences, giving businesses a chance to offer more in-person activities.

Understanding Digital Transformation Pillars

Digital transformation is a big shift in how companies work and compete today. It’s not just about using new gadgets; it’s about weaving technology into every part of a business to change how things get done and how customers are served. Think of it as a fundamental upgrade to your entire operation. This transformation rests on three main pillars that work together to guide the change.

Technology Innovation Driving Change

This pillar focuses on adopting new technologies. We’re talking about things like cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain. These aren’t just fancy terms; they are tools that can change how a business runs and how it offers services. They open up new ways to improve operations and create better customer experiences.

Optimizing Business Processes

This is about making the day-to-day work of a business run more smoothly. It involves using automation to handle repetitive tasks, adopting agile ways of working to be more flexible, and using continuous delivery methods to get things done faster. The goal is to cut down on wasted time and effort, making the business quicker to respond to market changes.

Cultivating People and Culture

For digital transformation to really stick, the people in the company need to be on board. This means helping employees learn new skills, improving their comfort with digital tools, and building a company atmosphere that welcomes change and new ideas. Without this human element, even the best technology can fall flat.

The success of digital transformation hinges on a balanced approach, where technology, process, and people are given equal importance. Neglecting any one of these areas can significantly hinder progress and limit the potential benefits of the transformation.

Here’s a quick look at how these pillars interact:

• Technology Innovation provides the new tools and capabilities.
• Optimizing Business Processes figures out the best ways to use those tools.
• Cultivating People and Culture makes sure everyone can and wants to use the tools and new processes effectively.

Key Drivers of Digital Transformation

In today’s fast-paced world, businesses can’t afford to stand still. Several major forces are pushing companies to rethink how they operate and connect with their customers. It’s not just about adopting new gadgets; it’s a fundamental shift driven by what people expect, what competitors are doing, and the amazing new tools available.

Meeting Evolving Consumer Expectations

Customers today want things their way, and they want them now. They expect personalized experiences, easy access to information and services, and quick responses to their needs. Think about how you shop or interact with brands online – you want it to be smooth, intuitive, and tailored to you. Businesses that don’t keep up with these demands risk falling behind. Meeting these changing consumer needs is perhaps the most significant push for digital change. This means companies need to understand their customers deeply and use technology to provide those on-demand, personalized interactions.

Responding to Competitive Pressures

The marketplace is more crowded and dynamic than ever. If one company starts using new technology to serve customers better or operate more efficiently, others have to follow suit just to keep up. It’s a constant race to innovate and adapt. Companies that are slow to embrace digital tools might find their competitors offering better services, faster delivery, or more engaging experiences. This pressure forces businesses to look at their current processes and see where technology can give them an edge.

Leveraging Technological Advancements

We’re living in an era of incredible technological progress. New tools and platforms are constantly emerging, offering businesses new ways to solve problems, improve operations, and create new products or services. From artificial intelligence that can automate tasks to cloud computing that allows for flexible scaling, the possibilities are vast. Companies that actively explore and adopt these advancements can gain significant advantages. It’s about using these new capabilities to work smarter, reach more people, and create better value. For example, many organizations are finding success by using automation tools to modernize older systems and reduce the workload on their IT staff, a strategy that has been key to their digital transformation success.

The constant evolution of technology means that what’s cutting-edge today might be standard tomorrow. Businesses must remain curious and adaptable to harness these changes effectively.

Navigating Trust in the Digital World

In today’s connected world, building and keeping trust is a big deal for businesses. With so much information flying around, it’s easy for people to get confused or even misled. This makes them more careful about what they believe and who they do business with online. Brands need to be extra clear and honest to stand out.

The Challenge of Misinformation

The internet is full of information, but not all of it is accurate. Fake news, misleading ads, and online scams are common. This makes it hard for people to know what’s real and what’s not. It also makes them hesitant to trust companies they don’t know well. For example, studies show a significant number of people encounter fake news regularly, which makes them wary of online interactions. This environment means businesses have to work harder to prove they are legitimate and reliable.

Building Consumer Confidence

To get people to trust you, you need to show them you’re a solid, dependable company. This means being upfront about your products and services. It also means having good customer support that’s easy to reach and helpful. When people feel secure and well-treated, they’re more likely to stick with you. Think about how you communicate; clear, honest messages go a long way. It’s also important to be transparent about how you use technology, like AI, so people don’t feel uneasy about it. Building this confidence is key to long-term success in the digital space.

Authenticity in Brand Interactions

People are looking for real connections, not just transactions. They want brands that are genuine and true to themselves. This means your marketing should reflect who you are, and your customer service should be helpful and sincere. In a world where digital interactions are common, showing your human side can make a big difference. Consider creating experiences that feel real, whether it’s through events or products that encourage hands-on use. These kinds of interactions help people feel more connected and trusting of your brand. It’s about creating a relationship, not just making a sale.

Balancing Digital Engagement and Parental Concerns

The digital world offers incredible opportunities for learning and connection, but it also brings up valid worries for parents. As technology becomes more woven into daily life, moms and dads are naturally becoming more watchful about their kids’ online experiences. They’re thinking about screen time, what their children see and do online, and how it all affects their well-being.

Understanding Parental Vigilance

Parents today are more aware than ever of the potential downsides of too much digital exposure. Concerns about mental health, cyberbullying, and exposure to inappropriate content are common. This heightened awareness means that companies interacting with younger audiences need to be extra mindful of how their products and services are perceived by parents. It’s not just about reaching kids; it’s about gaining the trust of the adults who guide them.

• Increased screen time worries: Many parents are concerned about the sheer amount of time their children spend looking at screens.
• Content appropriateness: Ensuring that online content is suitable for a child’s age and maturity level is a major priority.
• Mental and emotional impact: Parents are looking at how digital interactions affect their children’s mood, self-esteem, and social development.

Developing Parent-Friendly Strategies

To address these concerns, businesses can adopt strategies that put parents at ease. This involves creating products and services that are not only engaging but also safe and beneficial. Transparency is key here; parents appreciate knowing what their children are doing online and having some control over it.

Companies that prioritize safety features, offer clear privacy controls, and provide resources for parents to understand and manage their children’s digital activities are more likely to build lasting trust.

Responsible Marketing Approaches

When marketing to families, a responsible approach is paramount. This means avoiding manipulative tactics and focusing on the positive aspects of technology. It’s about showing how digital tools can support education, creativity, and healthy social connections, rather than just endless entertainment. Marketing messages should be clear, honest, and respectful of parental concerns. Offering options that encourage a healthy balance between online and offline activities can also be a smart move.

The Impatience Economy and Consumer Demands

In today’s fast-paced world, people expect things to happen right away. This shift has created what’s often called the ‘impatience economy.’ Gone are the days when consumers were willing to wait for extended periods for products or services. They now want quick, easy access to solutions for almost everything.

The Need for Instant Gratification

People are used to getting what they want almost immediately, thanks to the digital tools they use every day. Think about how quickly you can find information online or order something to be delivered. This constant availability has trained us to expect speed in all areas of life. When businesses don’t keep up, customers get frustrated and look elsewhere. This demand for instant results is reshaping how companies operate and interact with their customers.

Delivering Quick and Accessible Solutions

To succeed in this environment, businesses need to focus on making things fast and simple. This means streamlining processes, using technology to speed up service, and making information easy to find. For example, many companies are now using chatbots to answer common questions instantly, or offering one-click ordering. The goal is to remove any waiting time or unnecessary steps that might slow a customer down. Adapting to these expectations is key to staying competitive in the modern market. You can find more about how technology is changing consumer behavior at [1d07].

Adapting to Shorter Commitment Cycles

Consumers are also less likely to commit to long-term plans or complex processes. They prefer solutions that offer immediate value and are easy to understand and use. This applies to everything from subscription services to how they consume content. Businesses need to offer flexible options and demonstrate value quickly. This might involve breaking down larger services into smaller, more manageable parts or providing clear, immediate benefits. Being able to adapt to these shorter cycles is vital for keeping customers engaged and satisfied.

Embracing AI and the Future of Work

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept; it’s here, and it’s changing how we work. This technology promises big leaps in how much we can get done, but it also brings up some important questions about what our jobs will look like. The real challenge is figuring out how to use AI in a way that helps people, not replaces them.

AI’s Impact on Productivity

AI tools are becoming incredibly good at handling repetitive tasks, analyzing large amounts of data, and even generating creative content. This means businesses can operate more efficiently. Think about customer service chatbots that can answer common questions instantly, or AI algorithms that can spot trends in sales data much faster than a human could. These advancements can free up employees to focus on more complex, strategic, and creative work that requires human judgment and empathy.

Prioritizing Employee Well-being

As AI takes on more tasks, it’s natural for employees to wonder about their place in the workplace. Companies need to be mindful of this. Instead of just pushing for more output, it’s important to focus on how AI can support employees. This means providing training for new skills, ensuring clear communication about how AI is being used, and creating a work environment where people feel secure and valued. When employees feel supported, they’re more likely to adapt to new technologies and contribute positively.

The shift towards AI in the workplace isn’t just about adopting new software; it’s about rethinking the human role. It requires a conscious effort from leadership to ensure that technology serves as a tool to augment human capabilities, rather than diminish them. This approach helps maintain a sense of purpose and dignity in work.

Enhancing Human Roles with Technology

Instead of seeing AI as a threat, we can view it as a partner. AI can handle the heavy lifting of data processing and routine tasks, allowing humans to concentrate on areas where we truly excel: critical thinking, emotional intelligence, creativity, and complex problem-solving. For example, doctors can use AI to help diagnose illnesses more quickly, but the final decision and patient care still rely on the doctor’s experience and empathy. Similarly, designers can use AI to generate initial concepts, but the artistic vision and refinement come from the human designer. This collaboration can lead to better outcomes and more fulfilling work.

Here are some ways AI can enhance human roles:

• Data Analysis Support: AI can process vast datasets, identifying patterns and insights that humans might miss, presenting them in an understandable format.
• Creative Assistance: Generative AI can provide starting points for writing, art, or music, speeding up the creative process.
• Personalized Learning: AI can tailor training programs to individual employee needs, helping them acquire new skills more effectively.
• Streamlined Operations: Automating routine administrative tasks frees up employees for more engaging responsibilities.

Social Rewilding and Meaningful Connections

In our hyper-connected digital world, there’s a growing pull towards experiences that ground us and bring us back to what feels real. This trend, sometimes called ‘social rewilding,’ is all about seeking out genuine, in-person interactions and a deeper connection with the world around us. It’s a reaction to the constant buzz of screens and notifications, a desire for something more tangible and authentic.

The Desire for In-Person Experiences

Many people are actively looking for ways to spend more time outdoors and connect with friends face-to-face. Surveys show a significant increase in people spending time in nature and socializing in real life. This isn’t just a fleeting phase; it reflects a fundamental human need for connection that digital interactions can’t fully satisfy. Think about the simple joy of a shared meal, a walk in the park, or a lively conversation without the distraction of a phone. These moments build stronger bonds and offer a sense of presence that’s hard to replicate online.

Prioritizing Authenticity and Depth

As we spend more time online, we also become more aware of what feels genuine. People are increasingly drawn to depth and authenticity in their relationships and experiences. This means moving beyond superficial online exchanges to seek out interactions that are rich, meaningful, and leave a lasting impression. It’s about quality over quantity, preferring a few deep connections over many shallow ones. This shift impacts how we interact with brands too, as consumers look for transparency and real value.

Opportunities for Offline Engagement

This movement towards social rewilding presents a unique chance for businesses and communities. Instead of solely focusing on digital engagement, there’s an opportunity to create and promote offline experiences. This could involve designing retail spaces that encourage exploration and discovery, organizing events that build a sense of community, or developing products that invite hands-on interaction. By offering customers meaningful, tactile encounters, brands can tap into this desire for reconnection and stand out in a crowded digital landscape. It’s about creating moments that matter, both online and off, and building real connections that last.

The growing interest in social rewilding highlights a balanced approach to technology. It’s not about rejecting the digital world, but about integrating it thoughtfully with real-world experiences to create a richer, more fulfilling life.

Strategies for Successful Digital Transformation

Embarking on a digital transformation journey can feel like setting sail on uncharted waters. It’s not just about adopting new tech; it’s a fundamental shift in how your entire organization operates and interacts with the world. To make this voyage a success, a clear plan and a steady hand are needed. Think of it as building a sturdy ship, not just adding a new sail.

Assessing Your Digital Maturity

Before you can chart a course, you need to know where you stand. This means taking an honest look at your current digital capabilities. What systems are you using? How comfortable are your teams with new tools? Are your processes set up for the digital age, or are they still stuck in the past? Understanding your starting point helps you identify what needs the most attention. It’s like checking your inventory before a long trip.

Developing a Transformation Roadmap

Once you know your starting point, it’s time to draw the map. A transformation roadmap is your guide, outlining the steps you’ll take, the goals you want to reach, and how you’ll measure progress. This plan should align your technology efforts with your business aims. It’s not a rigid document, but a flexible guide that can adapt as you learn. A well-defined roadmap helps keep everyone on the same page and moving in the right direction.

Ensuring Organizational Agility

The digital landscape changes fast, and your organization needs to keep up. This means building a culture that can adapt quickly to new challenges and opportunities. It involves being willing to try new things, learn from mistakes, and adjust your approach. Think about how you can make decisions faster and respond to customer needs more promptly. This flexibility is key to staying competitive and relevant in the long run. It’s about being able to pivot when the winds change.

The most successful transformations aren’t just about technology; they’re about people and processes working together in new ways. A balanced approach, where technology, processes, and people are all considered, is vital for lasting change.
