⚠️ Does your business rely on third-party websites or online services?

A significant cyber-security issue is prompting organisations around the world to review and secure affected systems.

AMP is already reviewing the systems we manage and carrying out the necessary security work.

If AMP hosts and manages your website, you don't need to take any action at this time.

But your website may be only one of the online services your business depends on.

We recommend asking other providers you work with:

✔️ Are you affected?
✔️ Have the necessary security updates been applied?
✔️ Are affected services being actively monitored?

Some temporary service disruption may occur as providers undertake urgent security maintenance.

👉 We've put together the key information businesses need to know: https://www.ampinfo.co.uk/blog/uncategorised/critical-php-security-vulnerabilities/

And to finish off tonight at Pax 8 Beyond....Adam & Jim get to party with lots of IT nerds and the incredible Basement Jaxx!

It's been a great two days for them! They've come away with lots of inspiration, learning and products to consider using to develop agentic AI within our business and for our clients.

They can't wait to share it all with the team back at the office and look ahead to new projects with the North West businesses that we work with.

For now, they're enjoying their evening in style.

Who says IT has to be boring!

Then Adam walked into this... 🎵 😆.....

Our MD is having such a hard day of work again....we're sure he's secretly loving it, really. Been jam packed with seminars and learning since Adam and Jim arrived...all things AI and IT, of course!

Wait until you see what he walked into next after doing this video this morning!

Adam will be glad he doesn't have a headache this morning...🤣

Adam & Jim are at Pax 8 Beyond27 in Copenhagen this week, learning all the latest updates on cyber security, AI and the directions we need to be heading to stay ahead of our game.

Pax 8's events are always brilliant to attend and learn from. We look forward to hearing what they've been up to and what they learn along the way!

This week, we've had the pleasure of interviewing some students for part-time trainee IT engineer roles at AMP InfoSys.

It's been great to hear their stories... how they first became interested in technology, what they're studying now, and the opportunities they've already had to explore and navigate the digital world. There’s some great young talent coming through! 👏

It also got us thinking about how much technology has changed in just a few decades.

For many of today's students, growing up meant Nintendo DS, Wii, PlayStation and increasingly powerful gaming PCs. The gaming experience, graphics and technology available to them have evolved massively over the last decade alone.

But when many of us oldies were teenagers? Let's just say computers looked a little more… basic! 😂

We've asked AI to generate an image of some of the computers we grew up with. Looking at it really puts into perspective just how far we've come.

It's fantastic to see how the technology that sparks someone's curiosity can shape their future career. Today's young gamers, coders and tech enthusiasts aspiring to be tomorrow's IT engineers, cybersecurity specialists and innovators.

At AMP InfoSys, we're always interested in meeting people with a genuine passion for technology and a willingness to learn. After all, everyone has to start somewhere!

So, let's take a trip down memory lane… 👇

💻 What was your favourite computer, console or gadget growing up?

Were you a ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga, Game Boy, Nintendo, PlayStation or something else entirely?

And be honest… who remembers having to wait for a game to load? 😆
