I had the opportunity to speak at Futurescot Digital Scotland in November last year alongside our partner, Fortinet . The event was a fantastic opportunity to delve into the latest innovations shaping the Scottish public sector from a digital perspective. One of the key themes of my talk was Zero Trust adoption.
Infrastructure modernisation is no longer a luxury—it's imperative. For organisations relying on legacy systems, the transition from F5s iSeries to rSeries represents more than a hardware upgrade; it's a critical step in maintaining technological resilience and competitive advantage. 
As the CEO of FullProxy, I've always believed that staying ahead of technological disruptions is increasingly the most pressing concern for businesses and public sector organisations across the globe – not just from a cyber security perspective, but as a fundamental safeguard against business interruption.
Peak shopping seasons like Black Friday and Cyber Monday are digital pressure tests that separate robust businesses from vulnerable ones. Modern enterprise infrastructure must go beyond basic load balancing, creating adaptive systems that anticipate and manage extreme traffic fluctuations.
