Less than a week to go!   Structured Communication Systems and Island are headed to the Montana Digital Government Summit on May 5, joining public-sector leaders who are shaping the future of digital government in Montana.   Structured and Island partner closely to help agencies reduce complexity while strengthening security. Island’s enterprise browser puts security, access controls, and visibility directly where work happens, while Structured brings the public-sector expertise to help agencies implement and operationalize it with confidence.   If you’re attending, we’d love the opportunity to connect (find us at Table #1!)and share more about how our partnership can help you move forward with confidence!   🗓️  May 5, 2026 📍  Delta Hotels by Marriott Helena Colonial - Helena, MT 🔗  Event details: https://lnkd.in/gb4TRjeX #Structured #StructuredEvents

Live from #NWPPA 2026! Our Director of GRC, Chris Green, shared practical insights at the Northwest Public Power Association (NWPPA) IT Conference today on preparing for NERC CIP and helping attendees think through practical next steps toward compliance. We also heard from our Director of Cloud Security, Collin Miller, who followed with a standout presentation sharing how AI governance frameworks can connect to practical technical controls and how policy can become real-world protection. If you’re attending, come by our table and connect with our team! #StructuredEvents #Structured

The integration of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Juniper Networks represents more than an expansion of capabilities, it reflects a broader shift in where enterprise networking is headed next.   As IT teams face mounting pressure to support AI initiatives, secure increasingly distributed environments, and reduce operational friction, the expectations placed on the network are changing quickly. Visibility, automation, and intelligence are no longer optional, they are becoming foundational.   In the newest episode of Structured Insights, “No Customer Left Behind,” we sit down with HPE leaders to talk about what this integration means for customers across the Aruba and Juniper landscape, how the industry is evolving, and for the future of enterprise infrastructure. At the center of the conversation is a principle that matters in moments of change: advancing innovation while ensuring customers can move forward with clarity and confidence.   Joining the conversation: 🔹 Regional Sales Director Darren Mudd of HPE 🔹 Regional Sales Director Tracy McFall of HPE   For Structured Communication Systems, this isn’t theoretical. It reflects the real-world conversations we’re having with customers as they evaluate how to move forward thoughtfully across both technology ecosystems without losing sight of performance, security, or existing investment.   🎧 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gKn69iDQ #StructuredInsights #ITPodcast #HPE

F2F Events, Inc. Interface Alaska proved once again that the best part of these events are the people behind the technology. Between reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones, the day offered more than a few moments worth taking back with us.

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview has put the cybersecurity and risk management community on high alert. We have crossed the Rubicon, which is serious, but not necessarily a cause for panic. Instead, this moment demands a fresh focus on security posture, best practices, and deliberate defensive tactics. Adhering to established controls and frameworks offers the best chance for us to withstand AI’s super-human capabilities for identifying vulnerabilities and automating exploits. In today’s #TechTipThursday, Structured Communication Systems GRC Director Chris Green, a true cybersecurity and compliance expert, leads us through some immediate, near-term, and strategic recommendations that are essential for this new terrain. He also offers several industry-specific recommendations for companies with regulatory compliance requirements. While it is true that #AI, and #Mythos specifically, has caused a great deal of existential angst, now is not the time to surrender. If you and your organization need a strong general — or even just some additional fighting forces — Structured offers a host of professional and secure managed services to help you develop your strategy or execute your tactics. Contact your Structured account manager or email info@structured.com today if your organization needs a little help getting back to its cybersecurity and compliance basics. In the meantime, enjoy this article! #AIsecurity #ClaudeMythosPreview #Anthropic #backtobasics

What a great few days at the Association of County and City Information Systems (ACCIS) Spring Conference! As a Learning Lab Partner Sponsor, it has been a privilege to connect with so many local government IT leaders and have meaningful conversations around the evolving cybersecurity challenges agencies are navigating today. Especially as AI, compliance, and endpoint management continue to reshape the landscape. A special thank you to our Director of Cloud Security Collin Miller, for leading an insightful session that gave attendees a practical look at the AI governance and compliance landscape, along with a hands-on lab exploring real-world LLM attack techniques. And a big shoutout to our Senior Systems Engineer Dwayne D.

If you’re here this week, we’d love to connect and continue the conversation around how Structured Communication Systems can help support your cybersecurity goals! #Structured #ACCIS

Ready or not, we’re already deep into the latest iteration of the game of shadows. Every generation of technology introduces new power moves: capability outpaces control, speed feints security. Not necessarily because people are reckless, but because the system they’re working within causes too much friction. Too much frustrating obstruction. We learned this lesson with tools people adopted before IT could approve them. We’re relearning it with AI models people can leverage faster than sensible governance policies can be applied. And now, something newer is forming — less visible, potentially more impactful, and certainly easier to underestimate. What’s different this time isn’t just what people are using, but what they can now build. Capabilities that once required teams, roadmaps, and production pipelines can now emerge from a single motivated individual and a few well‑chosen tools. Penned by Brad Pierce, vice president of security solutions at Structured Communication Systems, this enlightening #TechTipThursday explores why that shift matters — and why the future winners won’t stop innovation. Rather, they’ll rewrite the game’s rules to design a nimble organization where progress doesn’t need to hide in the dark. Are you being outplayed in the game of shadows? Contact your Structured account manager or email info@structured.com today. Let us help you shine some light on this fascinating new development. #AIsecurity #SecDevOps #shadowcode #governance

When an AI model is “too capable” to release, that’s not a product decision. It’s a siren. Historically, cyber defense has been designed for human‑paced attackers. As AI becomes more autonomous, more intelligent, and more aware, the cyber-defense-at-human-speed paradigm crumbles. The balance between attackers and defenders is shifting faster than most organizations are prepared for. This article by Collin Miller, director of cloud security at Structured Communication Systems, examines what Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and Project Glasswing mean for real‑world security teams today, not in some future scenario. In short, the assumptions we’ve relied on for the last several years are dissipating. Inevitably, this is giving rise to many alarming questions, including whether defenders can adapt fast enough as capability, autonomy, and scale accelerate beyond human speed. #AnthropicMythos #ProjectGlasswing #cybersecurity #AIsecurity #AI
