Introduction: Offensive AI Has Entered The Cyber Arena Offensive artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction. It is already transforming how cyber-attacks are planned, launched and scaled – and forcing organisations to rethink their entire security posture. In this article, we explain what “offensive cyber‑AI” really means, why it changes the rules for defenders, and how you can prepare your organisation with a pragmatic, business‑driven roadmap. We will also show ho

Cloud sovereignty in Europe is entering a new phase. After the NIS2 Directive came into force in October 2024, many organisations are asking what the next big step will be – sometimes dubbed, a bit loosely, the “EU Cloud Sovereignty Act”. While no single law with that title exists today, the EU is clearly building a de facto cloud sovereignty framework through NIS2, the Data Act , forthcoming Cloud & AI Development Act , the Cloud Sovereignty Framework and the EU Cybersecu

Why Smart Batteries 4.0 Are Becoming Critical for Data Centers Data centers cannot afford to go dark. Power interruptions, grid instabilities and rising energy costs are now everyday challenges for operators. At the same time, regulatory and corporate pressure to reduce carbon emissions is accelerating. Intelligent, connected “Battery 4.0” systems give data centers a new way to secure uptime, optimize energy use and support sustainability objectives. At Score Group, we bring

From Energy Cost to Strategic Advantage Energy is no longer just a bill to pay. In the era of Industry 5.0, energy becomes a strategic lever for competitiveness, resilience and innovation. Instead of seeing electricity, gas or fuel only as volatile operating costs, leading organisations are turning their energy systems into engines of productivity, differentiation and sustainable growth. Industry 5.0, as framed by the European Commission, extends Industry 4.0 by placing susta

Urban nano data centers are reshaping how and where cloud resources are delivered. As AI, IoT and 5G generate unprecedented data volumes, organisations are reaching the limits of a model based solely on distant hyperscale data centers. Latency-sensitive applications, regulatory constraints and energy pressure are all pushing compute back into cities, closer to users and devices. In this context, compact, highly efficient “urban nano data centers” – essentially micro data cent

Reinventing IT operations with AI and energy intelligence AI-powered IT Operations AIOps² is about turning noisy, reactive IT into a proactive, self-optimising engine for your business. Today’s infrastructure is hybrid, distributed and always-on. A single outage can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour when critical systems go down, especially for large enterprises and digital-native businesses. erwoodgroup.com At the same time, data centres already account for rou

Why AI infrastructure will look very different by 2026 AI infrastructure is entering a new phase. By 2026, next‑generation GPUs, optical interconnects and immersive cooling will reshape how data centers are designed, powered and operated. The acceleration of generative AI and large language models is driving unprecedented compute density. High‑end accelerators such as NVIDIA H100 class GPUs already reach up to 700 W of thermal design power (TDP) per device, with 4–8 GPUs per

Introducing GreenOps at the crossroads of IT and energy GreenOps is reshaping how organisations think about both IT and energy. As digital infrastructures (cloud, data centers, networks, IoT) consume more electricity and become critical for every business, the environmental and energy impact of IT can no longer be treated as a side topic. GreenOps is the emerging discipline that connects IT operations, energy management and sustainability, with one objective: operate digital
