Security teams don't need more alerts. They need faster, clearer action. Discover how Managed XDR combines intelligent threat detection, 24x7 expert response, and co-managed control to help stop attacks before they disrupt your business.

The frightening scenario isn't a hospital going dark. It's an attacker who quietly changes a patient's blood type, medication protocol, or surgical orders. Jennifer Johnson explains why quantum computing puts every hospital system at risk at once, and why "wait and see" won't work here.

Detection is not response. An alert that nobody acts on for six hours is a breach with paperwork. This looks at what the managed half of managed XDR actually does: analysts who contain confirmed threats using pre-approved playbooks, while your team keeps administrative access and full visibility.

A 150-bed rural hospital faces the same ransomware groups and the same regulatory mandates as a 1,500-bed medical center, without the staff to match. Across 250-plus rural hospitals, 69% struggle with multifactor authentication and 62% with network segmentation. Learn what closes that gap without hiring a security team.

AI projects stall before production when nobody can say where the data lives or who governs it. Andrea Ferrone and Aran Hoffmann on the questions to answer first, why sovereign AI is rising in healthcare, and what infrastructure actually has to be in place before a model is worth training.

One hundred healthcare IT leaders spent three days in Boston working through what technology can actually change: cyber resilience across the continuum of care, moving AI from pilot to production, containing costs without compromising care, and modernizing clinical workflows. Here is what happened, session by session.

Clinicians lose time to slow logins and aging shared devices, and endpoints remain one of the most attacked surfaces in healthcare. Endpoint strategy has quietly become a patient care decision. Practical guidance on where to start, who to involve, and how to build a foundation that is ready for AI.
July 26, 2026
Connection and CNXN Helix brought together more than 20 healthcare IT executives to find out how AI adoption is actually going. AI is already in production, ambient documentation stalls on adoption rather than value, governance confidence sits at 3.8 out of 5, and a successful pilot still fails if the vendor cannot last.
August 11, 2026
AI-powered endpoints are reaching clinical environments while healthcare IT teams juggle tight resources, regulation, and endpoint sprawl. Intel's Abhishek Khowala and Lenovo's Alexander Stanton join us to talk through local processing, protecting AI models, and what early wins actually look like at the point of care.

Plants collect plenty of data, but decisions still wait for someone to notice a problem. Move up the maturity curve one process at a time, with a clear owner and clear limits for every agent.

Manufacturing IT, procurement, and P&L leaders are being asked two questions: what is your AI strategy, and what will it cost? Ryan Spurr works through where AI workloads belong, on the laptop or in the cloud, and what has to be true from the plant floor to Azure before either answer holds up.
March 16, 2026
Your MES knows production rates, your ERP knows costs, your quality system tracks defects, and none of them talk to each other. Ryan Spurr introduces the Manufacturing Language Model, a framework his team built to sit across all of it, so an operations manager can ask why Line Two is underperforming and get an answer instead of a spreadsheet.

Plant-floor data sits in historians and SCADA systems, enterprise data sits in ERP and CRM, and neither reaches the people who need it. Ryan Spurr on using Azure and Microsoft Fabric to build one governed data layer, and what that unlocks: real dashboards, trained AI models, and eventually agents that act on their own.
January 15, 2026
Manufacturing entered 2026 after eight straight months of contraction, and it has been the most targeted sector for cyberattacks four years running. Ryan Spurr's outlook works through what deserves investment now: IT and OT convergence, OT security, the data foundation underneath AI, and where agentic systems are already delivering.

Traditional monitoring is reactive and fragmented. Vision AI puts camera feeds and analytics to work in real time: PPE compliance and forklift proximity alerts, inline defect detection, conveyor jams caught before a stoppage. One facility cut safety violations by 83%, and an automotive supplier lifted first pass yield by 12%.

AI is speeding up attacks today, and quantum puts encryption at risk over time, including data stolen now to decrypt later. Visibility into your systems and the ability to update cryptography let you adapt before a threat becomes a crisis.
October 19, 2026
It's easy to read the latest federal post-quantum cryptography requirements and assume they don't apply to your organization. Connection security experts John Chirillo, Rob Di Girolamo, and Kim Coombes look at who is actually responsible.
October 5, 2026
Attackers are moving faster than security teams can respond. Connection's security experts explain why defenders need to shift from reacting to preparing.

Ten years ago, retailers bought products from technology vendors. Today 76% of IT decision-makers say they are actively consolidating vendors, and Gartner puts the share of CIOs simplifying their supplier portfolios near 80%. See what Brian Gallagher, Retail Strategy and Business Development Director at Connection, has to say on what retailers now want from a partner and why fewer can mean more.
December 30, 2025
Retailers added fewer seasonal workers in 2025 than at any point since 2009, and the pressure to do more with less is not letting up. Brian Gallagher looks at the economics behind that shift and the four technologies retailers are leaning on: conversational AI, real-time analytics, computer vision, and AI-driven scheduling.
December 15, 2025
Internal process errors cost retailers three times what shoplifting does, and fewer than a quarter of retailers reach 80% inventory accuracy. This breaks down the four places accuracy actually fails, from shelf visibility to network bottlenecks, and what it takes to fix the root cause rather than the symptom.

Every POS terminal, kiosk, and smart sensor on the sales floor is another endpoint to defend, and they sit unattended across hundreds of stores. Brian Gallagher on why perimeter defenses cannot keep pace at the retail edge, and how hardware root of trust, zero-touch provisioning, and microsegmentation build security in from the start.
