Phishing just got personal

This week, Pete Graham, Microsoft Business Manager at Espria, attended Microsoft Frontier Tour London alongside members of the wider Espria team to hear directly from Microsoft leaders, partners and customers about the future of artificial intelligence. Having attended Microsoft’s AI Tour last year, Pete was interested to see how the conversation had evolved over the past 12 months. What became clear throughout the day was that the discussion around AI has matured significantly. A year ago, many organisations were still asking what AI could do.

When websites and applications sit with different teams and suppliers, the first challenge is knowing who needs to act. Critical vulnerabilities have been disclosed affecting PHP, a technology widely used across websites, web applications and other software products.  The technical advice is clear: identify affected systems and apply the available updates.

From 1 December 2026, new Microsoft 365 Copilot Business purchases through CSP will come with usage-based billing already configured.  At first glance, that might sound like another variable cost for IT and finance teams to manage.

Most offices know that reducing paper is good for the environment, but few have visibility over what their printing actually costs in resources: energy, paper, and consumables. A managed print service brings sustainable office printing into focus by measuring what is actually happening, rather than estimating it. Every printer left on standby overnight, every unnecessary colour print, and every cartridge thrown away with usable toner left inside adds up.
