Europe’s critical infrastructure protection model is changing. Hybrid threats, regulatory pressure and growing dependencies between physical and digital systems are pushing operators beyond conventional perimeter security. The decisive question is no longer whether an...
Container data centres promise rapid deployment, high scalability and clearly defined technical infrastructure. Yet their compact design does not make security any simpler. Access control, temperature, humidity, fire detection, power supply and video surveillance all...
Sabotage, hybrid threats and terrorist attack scenarios are forcing critical infrastructure operators to rethink what constitutes an attack surface. Sensitive intelligence on facilities, operational routines, supply dependencies and physical activity can increasingly...

The expansion of artificial intelligence is changing not only servers and processors, but the physical architecture of data centres. As the power density of modern AI and high-performance computing systems increases, so do the demands placed on grid connections, power...
Would an extra working day make an economy meaningfully stronger? A new German study suggests that public holidays do reduce economic output — but by considerably less than a simple calculation of lost working time might imply. The findings have relevance beyond...
More megapixels do not automatically mean better security. The forthcoming DIN EN IEC 62676-4:2026-10, due for publication in October 2026, starts from a more fundamental question: what task is the video surveillance system actually intended to perform? The revised...
Euralarm has published a new guidance document, Guideline on Disposal of Fire-Fighting Foam Media (UK & Europe), providing practical recommendations for the safe, compliant and environmentally responsible handling and disposal of fire-fighting foam media. The...
Better prepared for emergencies with PWS and CEM Modern Public Warning Systems (PWS) and Critical Event Management (CEM) ensure that members of the public are alerted and informed more quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency. Public authorities and...
