August at Stripe OLT
?? It’s the end of the month, which means one thing... It’s time to Venture with Stripe OLT.
It's officially the last day of summer and although August may not have brought the sunshine like we expected, we have plenty of Microsoft updates to brighten up your day??
?? Our Cyber Security Engineer, Liam Jones walks us through Defender for Cloud.
?? We take a brief look at Windows Server 2012’s upcoming end of life.
?? And yes, WE DO have an upcoming SMB webinar in partnership with Microsoft…
First Up, Liam Demystifies Defender for Cloud.
In our recent expert intel, Liam Jones, takes a deep dive into Defender for Cloud.
“Since the start of 2023 Defender for Cloud has cropped up multiple times during my day-to-day, and it seems to hold an air of mystery. In this article we will expand upon why I think companies are (wisely) starting to pay more attention to Defender for Cloud, and dive a little deeper into the architecture.”

Windows Server 2012 End of Life
As we head into September, we thought a reminder of the upcoming Windows Server 2012 End of Life was in order. On the 10th of October, Microsoft will officially stop providing updates and support to customers still on Windows Server 2012, (and that means the extended EOL too) – if you’re still using Windows Server 2012, you might want to read this…
SMB Workshop: Do More With Less, Using Business Premium
IT Leaders, mark your calendars! In two weeks’ time, on the 14th of September, we will be joining forces with Microsoft to share the incredible capabilities of a Business Premium License.
Why?
Well, because licensing can be a minefield – when you have different users, on different plans, across different departments it can all become a bit, well, complex. Often organisations are not using all the toolsets and capabilities available to them, and with limited resourcing, and greater security and user requirements, we want you to fully utilise the toolsets available to you.
If you’re an organisation (with up to 300 users), looking to optimise your existing BP license or are thinking about transitioning to get those all-important added security features, this workshop is for you!
Find out how you can, do more with less, and register here.
Expert Intel: Cybercrime Is The World’s 3rd Largest Economy
Our most recent cyber security expert intel comes from Andrea Csuri , who shares with us her analysis and exploration of the cybercrime economy, and how it has now become the world's 3rd largest economy ??, trailing only the US and China.
This exploration covers the shifts in cyber criminal behaviour, the advancements in technology and most importantly, what you can do to mitigate these complex threats.
