AI search strategy: A guide for modern marketing teams

Search no longer rewards keywords alone — it rewards clarity. Large language models now read, reason, and restate information, deciding which brands to quote when they answer.

Structured data defines entities and relationships; concise statements make them extractable; CRM connections turn unseen visibility into measurable influence. Clicks may decline, but authority doesn’

The Cost of Ignoring AI-Based Threats Going Into 2026

As 2026 approaches, artificial intelligence is transforming the cybersecurity landscape—not just for defense, but increasingly for attack. Cybercriminals are weaponizing AI to launch faster, more sophisticated, and more deceptive threats than ever before. For businesses unprepared for this reality, the cost of doing nothing will be immense. Outdated security models are no longer sufficient, especially as cybercrime evolves at a rapid pace.

Is Your Bank Prepared for the Next Big Cybersecurity Threat?

Financial institutions serve as the guardians of the global economy, making them the ultimate prize for cybercriminals. As digital banking becomes the norm, the tactics used to breach these secure environments evolve at an alarming pace.

Debugging for Systems Programming Learning

Learning systems programming was always an aspiration for me. Understanding more about what the machine was doing when you coded something one way as opposed to another. I always felt a vast gulf between toy examples and real programs. I could grasp the concepts quite well, but did not have a good feel for how to compose them. And when I read code for large systems, it was in the how the developer can composed the pieces that I would begin to feel lost and get discouraged. But that feeling that
