 By Armand Kruger Head of Cybersecurity at NEC XON Cybersecurity is seen as a “patch fast, block traffic, monitor alerts, respond to incidents” kind of function. But that framing misses the point. Breaches don’t generally begin with brute force. They begin with curiosity. Someone asking a system a question it was never designed to answer and seeing what happens. Thinking about what the system could do, rather than only what it’s meant to do.
 There’s a clear message for companies considering enterprise connectivity strategy: networks are entering a new phase defined less by raw capacity alone, and more by how effectively organisations can manage accelerating data growth, rising complexity and persistent skills shortages.
Brett van Rooyen, NEC XON Adtran Product Manager, says the enterprise landscape is being reshaped by the rapid expansion of cloud and AI-driven workloads.  The recognition caps a deliberate, multi-year strategy of investing in engineering depth, lab capability and customer relationships well ahead of demand - the same long-game discipline that has earned NEC global Partner of the Year recognition, year after year.
