You have a firewall, EDR, MFA, regular backups. Your internal environment is well protected. But your accounting firm, your payroll application, the external contractor with VPN access to your network — they aren’t necessarily protected to the same standard. And attackers know this better than anyone. The numbers point to something new Third-party involvement in […]
Until recently, “AI in the call center” meant a smart receptionist that understood what a caller wanted and routed them correctly. Useful, but still just a middleman — a human handled the actual work at the end. 3CX has just opened the door to something different: AI agents that don’t just route the call, but […]
Until recently, cyber insurance was a relatively straightforward process. Organizations completed a questionnaire, paid the premium, and received coverage. In 2026, however, this approach no longer applies. Insurance providers have become far more rigorous in evaluating an organization’s cybersecurity posture, and the reality is striking: 73% of small and medium-sized businesses fail cyber insurance assessments […]
Businesses today have invested heavily in cybersecurity. Firewalls, EDR/XDR solutions, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and user awareness training have become standard security layers. Yet despite these investments, most security breaches still begin in the same place: the inbox. It is no coincidence that email security is now considered just as critical as firewalls and endpoint protection. […]
Most businesses believe that the use of Artificial Intelligence in the workplace is something they decide on and control. The reality is different: 67% of employees are already using AI tools in their daily work, while only 18% of businesses have an official AI security policy in place. The gap between these two numbers has […]
On Friday, June 19, 2026, we attended BEYOND 2026 as representatives of Artios, in an event that confirmed that technology is now entering a more mature phase: less theory, more implementation, and a stronger connection with the real needs of the market. After all, this year’s exhibition was centered around the message “Where Innovation Meets […]
A few years ago, “IT” for a small Greek business usually meant having a technician who would show up whenever something stopped working. Today, that picture has changed dramatically: NIS2, GDPR, Microsoft 365 Copilot, cyberattacks targeting SMEs, and cloud migration have all raised the bar. IT requirements have become far more complex than what a […]
Two platforms dominate the professional productivity space. Both offer email, storage, document editing, and real-time collaboration. Both have integrated Artificial Intelligence capabilities. So why does it matter which one you choose? Because the “right” choice is not the same for every business. It depends on your company size, industry, security requirements, and the way your team works. What Each Platform Offers Today Both platforms have evolved significantly in recent years. The comparison should be based on what your business needs today — not on what was true two or three years ago. Microsoft 365 Complete productivity suite: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams Copilot AI integrated across applications (Business/Enterprise plans) Strong security and compliance capabilities (Intune, Defender, Purview) Deep integration with Windows and Active Directory Ideal for environments requiring on-premise or hybrid infrastructure Google Workspace Fully cloud-native: Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet Gemini AI integrated throughout the platform Excellent real-time collaboration experience Simpler administration with fewer setup requirements Ideal for businesses operating entirely in the cloud Where They Really Differ Security & Compliance Microsoft 365 has a clear advantage here. It provides enterprise-grade tools for data loss prevention, conditional access, endpoint management, and advanced threat protection. For businesses operating in regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, or legal services, this is often a decisive factor. Google Workspace also offers a strong level of security, but the depth of management and compliance tools is more limited, especially for larger organizations. Pricing Both platforms revised their pricing during 2024–2025. In general, Google Workspace starts at a lower entry cost, but the price gap narrows at the Business and Enterprise levels. An important distinction: Microsoft Copilot requires an additional license cost, while Gemini is included in Google Workspace Business plans. File Compatibility If your business frequently exchanges files with clients or partners, document formats matter. The […]
Artificial Intelligence has now become part of everyday business operations. From customer service and content creation to data analysis, AI offers speed and automation. However, like any powerful tool, it is not used only by businesses. It is also being used by cybercriminals. In 2026, cyberattacks are no longer based solely on technical vulnerabilities. They […]
March 31st is recognized as World Backup Day, serving as a reminder for both businesses and individuals of the critical importance of data protection. In a world where information is a core business asset, data loss is not just a technical issue — it is a business risk. Today’s reality Data is lost every day […]
