Invisible IT Emerges as Workplace Transformation Evolves, Lenovo Research Finds2.12.2025 16:00:00 EET | Press release
The next step in workplace transformation is invisible technology that fades into the background so that support is automated and seamless, according to a Lenovo global survey of IT leaders released today. Most employees only notice IT when it slows them down and interrupts processes. Invisible IT is the opposite. It means technology that anticipates needs, prevents issues before they happen, and personalizes support automatically. Achieving Invisible IT, the newest report in Lenovo’s ongoing Work Reborn series, explores how AI and automation are redefining the digital workplace and employee experience. Of the IT leaders who participated, 79% aspire to deliver seamless, proactive support that minimizes disruption for employees, but only 21% have achieved predictive issue resolution. The results underscore an urgent need for organizations to remove digital barriers, simplify IT ecosystems, and adopt AI-enabled, hyper-personalized support that delivers a truly effortless employee experie

Wasabi Launches Covert Copy, a Completely Invisible and Indestructible Copy of Data for a Higher Level of Cloud Storage Security2.12.2025 16:00:00 EET | Press release
Wasabi Technologies, the hot cloud storage company, has expanded its cyber resilient cloud storage capabilities with Covert Copy, a patent pending, advanced ransomware-resistant storage solution that allows users to create a locked, hidden copy of storage buckets to ensure critical data remains untouchable, even in the event of a cyberattack. The selected data is logically air gapped and cannot be seen, accessed, modified or deleted, without multi-user authentication approval, protecting it from any type of malicious attack. Covert Copy strengthens and simplifies traditional air gap strategies by creating a copy of data that is not only isolated, but unable to be detected at all. As the AI boom continues to escalate the criticality and sensitivity of enterprise data, cybercriminals are increasingly targeting backup infrastructure and cloud storage, recognizing their vital role in an organization’s daily operations. The demand for cyber-resilient data protection and recovery capabilitie

Deepsight’s multi-modal AI analyzes video, motion, and depth data to expose inconsistencies that synthetic media cannot reproduce, all in under 100 milliseconds and without adding friction. “Deepfakes have evolved beyond novelty. They are now a major fraud weapon,” said Ricardo Amper, Founder and CEO of Incode. “When identity can be faked, everything breaks. Deepsight restores trust by ensuring every capture shows a human user in front of the camera, not a deepfake.” Deepsight anchors Incode’s broader investment in frontier A
