Barry Turner, Technical Business Development Manager at Red Lion Controls, joined host Tyler Kern for a live discussion on secure remote access and the importance of companies developing solutions that ensure a higher frequency of cyberattacks doesn’t end in disaster.

“Red Lion has been doing remote access for quite some time,” Turner said. “We just came out with our new remote access platform. It’s an all-encompassing platform that allows our customers to build machines and industrial products and send those products out into the field. And, if they need to get access to those assets wherever they may land, to do troubleshooting, to do upgrades or be able to work with those pieces of equipment as if they were local, our platform makes that simple, easy and secure.”

Red Lion uses a defense-in-depth, layered approach to security. It’s a combination of things put together to make it more and more difficult for would-be hackers to get into an asset.

Today, it makes perfect sense to have access to remote assets and devices for various needs, from service and maintenance to software updates. But that access must be secure. Recent cyberattacks like the Colonial Pipeline attack illustrate the importance of such security measures.

With solutions like the ones provided by Red Lion Controls, obtaining a high level of security is easy.

Scoped agents help Copilot search 10,000 SharePoint sites

Scoped agents help Copilot search 10,000 SharePoint sites

Improving Vice President of Technology Michael Slater says his firm runs more than 10,000 SharePoint sites, and generic AI queries across them are unlikely to find the right document. He says scoped agents in Copilot, Google Workspace or Glean can improve retrieval, and that bronze, silver and gold data pipelines with strong quality gates are where much of the work sits. Dataversity reports 84% of infrastructure leaders overran AI budgets.

  • 01A medium sized firm can run more than 10,000 SharePoint sites, and Slater says a generic AI question across that many sites finds the right document only by luck.
  • 02TSG, citing Gartner in a blog post, says 50% of AI projects fail to move beyond the pilot stage, often over scalability, integration and operationalization; Slater puts the hard part in the same place, cascading every source change through bronze, silver and gold.

Power first: AI data center siting now starts at the substation

Power first: AI data center siting now starts at the substation

Sandeep Prakash, a senior program manager in data center infrastructure planning, said on Amphenol Broadband Solutions’ Wavelengths podcast that new data center site decisions now start with the substation and utility interconnection, with fiber and latency planned alongside. RAND estimates AI data centers could need 68 gigawatts of power by 2027 and cites four to seven year grid queues in Virginia. The IEA reports AI-focused data center electricity consumption surged 50% in 2025.

  • 01AI-focused data center electricity use rose 50% in 2025 while energy per AI task fell by an order of magnitude a year, the IEA says, and both curves belong in the same capacity plan.

Ping says mobile driver’s licenses can narrow false positives

Ping says mobile driver’s licenses can narrow false positives

Ping Identity product lead Diana Gouard tells Mitek's Fraud in Focus podcast that a bank forcing document verification on every branch visit stopped fraud but burdened tellers and customers. She recommends proving identity once, then carrying trust forward with bindings such as a confirmed email or facial biometric and using cryptographic verification (including mobile driver’s licenses and NFC passport reads) as adoption grows. She also notes NIST’s SP 800-63-4 superseded SP 800-63-3 as of August 1, 2025, and says the new version highlights cryptographic verification.

  • 01A bank that re-verified every visitor's document on every branch visit stopped fraud but pushed failure handling onto tellers; the fix now underway is enrolling a face once and using a tablet glance after that.
  • 02Identity proofing should happen once, with an email or facial biometric bound to that event carrying trust through the account lifecycle until trust is dissolved.
