SCOTLANDIS EXPERTISE VITAL, writes Bill Magee I’m really looking forward to attending this week’s Scotsoft/Young Engineers Awards conference and dinner..

Rapidly developing AI heads the list when it comes to constantly tackling often complex IT-related challenges that lay before us. The way forward must centre on providing security guardrails to successfully handle what can be far-from-reliable online/mobile channels. And in the process keep at bay cyber hackers and scammers only too willing to relieve us of our precious data.

The tech leviathans are busier than ever engaged in a fiercely-competitive battle to land trillions of AI-related digital dollars. We’re extremely fortunate to have a standout organisation like ScotlandIS to represent the country’s efforts at home and globally…
