As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, some of the biggest risks to your organisation might not be obvious. In this month’s IT Bulletin, we shine a light on three critical security concerns that are often underestimated or overlooked entirely. These issues can silently compromise systems, leak data, or be exploited without detection.
The latest updates to Factory Design 2026 bring powerful improvements to connector class creation, workflow efficiency, and overall performance. From a brand-new Connector Class dialogue to enhanced 4K compatibility and stability upgrades, these changes are designed to make your design process faster, smoother, and more intuitive.
Efficiency, accuracy, and innovation are crucial for staying competitive in the industrial landscape of today. Manufacturing and engineering companies face increasing challenges in managing product development, ensuring design accuracy, and optimising workflows. That’s where Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) come into play.
