What is prescriptive security from a technical perspective?
Prescriptive security is, at its heart, a fusion of technologies and processes designed to reduce the time and effort needed to detect and respond effectively to cyber security threats and incidents. A critical aspect of prescriptive security is its use of automation and artificial intelligence technologies. It is vital that the exact combination of technologies and processes – including where and at what level automation is used –…
Resilience in supply chains: a view from the cyber security frontline
As cyber threats grow and diversify, many organisations have been raising their own bar in terms of cyber security – but increasingly, they are being targeted via their supply chains.

Insurance in the driving seat of change
This article is part of Atos Digital Vision: Ethics opinion paper which explores how embedding ethical reflection into the design of digital technologies can lead to genuine benefits for customers and citizens by helping to address their legitimate concerns about their wider impact, today and into the future.
Additive Manufacturing – bridging disrupted supply chains in times of Covid-19?
The Covid-19 is severely affecting the business of manufacturing customers. Closed borders and increased border controls are disrupting or slowing down supply chains. Looking at pictures with 30-kilometer truck traffic congestion, for example at the German-Polish border, give an impression of the magnitude of problems currently faced in supply chains. Manufacturing industries are therefore in need of concepts and solutions to
