What a year 2025 has been: Rich in both cyber events and innovations alike. On the latter, not a week has passed without a mention of innovation in Artificial Intelligence (AI). I am excited about the innovative ways AI is going to be used to benefit our society; perhaps this is the 4th Industrial Revolution coming. The level of useful innovation in cyber security, despite some questionable claims by certain vendors, will increase in 2026 with new products and services.

Two cameras have been fitted to the South Western Railway (SWR) train, named Hotshot, to monitor tracks across Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Dorset and London. Neil Drury, engineering and infrastructure director for SWR, said the cameras were helping to identify potential infrastructure issues before they escalated.

Making investments is a smart step toward securing your financial future, but managing them shouldn't feel like a full-time job (unless it is, in which case, getting organized is still going to be super helpful!). Staying on top of your investments is essential to optimizing your returns over time and understanding what's working and what's not. This habit not only helps you increase savings and reduce debt but also brings peace of mind.

So what happened with the festive zombie? "And then you're going to say, 'Yeah, but it has,'" Miles continued. "I'll say it has by accident. And that was never the intention. We've come out and been very clear that we use these as tools to help the team, but they do not replace any of the fantastic team members we have that are doing the final touches and building that content to put it in the game."
