Globalinternet: “Now is the Time to Rethink Your Sourcing Strategy for Network Connectivity”
5.10.2020 15:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Globalinternet, the Amsterdam-headquartered company that provides connectivity for more than 600 enterprises globally, today releases a white paper on what they call the ‘Accelerated Internet Shift’. The white paper focuses on the accelerating shift from private to public networks, including the impact of COVID-19 on large corporations that had to rethink their entire operational practices while employees were forced to work from home.
The white paper, commissioned in partnership with research consultancy Omdia, is a comprehensive tool for CIOs and IT executives around the world to get the latest insights regarding internet connectivity during the current pandemic and beyond. It underlines the importance for enterprises to prioritise network transformation projects and so becoming resilient in a post-COVID / Work-from-home world.
The research shows that existing global network service providers are a known quantity but more and more enterprises are looking for new suppliers to source their network services as a way to get fresh perspectives and more competitive solutions. For example: no less than 49% of enterprises turned to new network providers when adopting SD-WAN, and more than one-third of large enterprises expect to re-reconsider their primary network partner.
“The shift from private to public networks was a trend that was on our radar for a long time,” says Kees Bos, CEO Globalinternet. “But the big news is that this is accelerating at a high speed. Enterprises have felt the first shock from COVID and, despite needing to cut budgets for the foreseeable future, these enterprises are prioritizing the shift to internet and SD-WAN. They realize that money spent today on these network enhancements will help the company be nimbler and in a stronger position tomorrow”

Exein Unveils Next-Generation Runtime Security to Protect the AI-Native World23.3.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Exein, the global leader in runtime cybersecurity, today unveiled Photon, a preemptive breakthrough solution that blocks cyberattacks at the point of execution. Designed for the AI-native world - where digital and physical systems are now inseparable - Photon marks a fundamental shift in how critical infrastructure protects itself. Unlike traditional cybersecurity solutions that detect threats after compromise - typically operating in user space and relying on a cloud network - Exein’s Photon operates directly inside the kernel, preventing malicious execution paths before they can run. By blocking attacks before the point of execution, the technology dramatically reduces latency and eliminates entire classes of threats before damage occurs. If malicious instructions cannot execute, the attack itself cannot take place. This advancement establishes a new category of runtime security designed for systems that cannot be disconnected: physical AI and IoT environments, autonomous AI agents,
