The Internet of Things is happening fast, and that means IT professionals and IT security experts need to be proactive
Some of the world’s most successful IT companies believe that Machine-to-Machine computing, the Internet of Things, will propel them to new heights.
As billions of chip-enabled devices connect to the internet, many businesses are making strides towards supporting the IoT
Security built in at the level of microprocessors is finally starting to look like a viable layer of defence

Intel's Chris Shaw on how the current trends in IT, like consumerisation, Big Data and Cloud will enable innovation to flourish throughout the enterprise.

The Technology Transformation Summit on November 8 juxtaposed the UK's transformation from sporting wannabe to international powerhouse to the challenging business climate of today and highlighted how technology is the key to our businesses emulating UK sporting teams.

If a September report in the New York Times is to be believed, worldwide data centres use up 30 billion watts of electricity - or the same as 30 nuclear power stations - in "an incongruously wasteful manner".
2012 is emerging as the pivotal year when global sales of mobile devices - including smartphones and tablets – are widely predicted to overtake PCs in terms of both shipments and spending. And it is clear that the mobile working revolution is delivering compelling business benefits to a wide variety of UK and European companies.
