Arctiq has acquired Shadow-Soft, expanding its expertise in observability, automation, and modern platform operations. The acquisition strengthens Arctiq's engineering capabilities and accelerates its ability to help organizations build, operate, and optimize intelligent, cloud-native environments.

Arctiq has been named to the 2026 CRN Tech Elite 250, recognizing its continued investment in advanced certifications, technical expertise, and strategic technology partnerships. The honor reflects Arctiq's commitment to helping organizations modernize, secure, and optimize increasingly complex IT environments.

Cloud security is no longer just about finding risks. As cloud environments become more complex and attackers move faster, organizations need an integrated operating model that connects cloud context, threat intelligence, security operations, and engineering workflows to reduce exposure before threats become incidents.

AI agents are moving into production faster than governance models are maturing. Isolation, observability, and control must come first.

Large language models and AI agents are transforming how organizations build and operate software, but they also introduce new security risks that traditional controls weren't designed to address. Securing AI requires more than technical safeguards. It demands governance, identity controls, secure development practices, and executive oversight.

The rush to become "AI first" echoes the early days of cloud adoption, when speed often took priority over strategy. Organizations that succeed with AI will focus on business outcomes, data readiness, operational discipline, and security instead of chasing the latest technology trends.

Arctiq and Verinext have both been named to the 2026 CRN MSP 500 list in the Elite 150 category, recognizing their leadership in delivering managed services for midmarket and enterprise organizations. The recognition highlights the newly unified organization's expanded expertise, scale, and commitment to helping customers modernize, secure, and optimize complex IT environments.

Cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than ever, driven by AI, cloud adoption, supply chain complexity, and increasingly sophisticated attackers. Organizations that succeed in 2026 will move beyond reactive defenses by strengthening resilience, modernizing security operations, and preparing for emerging risks before they become business disruptions.

Arctiq and Verinext have united to create a global, intelligence-driven technology services organization with expanded scale, technical expertise, and delivery capabilities across North America. The combination brings together infrastructure, networking, cybersecurity, data, AI, and managed services to help organizations modernize, simplify operations, and achieve better business outcomes.

Arctiq has announced the winners of its inaugural Partner Awards, recognizing technology partners and individuals whose innovation, collaboration, and customer impact have helped drive exceptional business outcomes. The awards celebrate the strength of Arctiq's partner ecosystem and its commitment to delivering modern, scalable technology solutions.

GitHub Actions has become a critical part of the software supply chain and a growing target for attackers. Securing CI/CD workflows requires more than automation. It demands secure coding practices, least-privilege access, strong credential management, and continuous validation to reduce the risk of compromised builds and leaked secrets.

Traditional enterprise file services often require dedicated storage arrays, separate management tools, and ongoing operational overhead. Nutanix Files simplifies file services by integrating them directly into the Nutanix platform, helping organizations reduce complexity, streamline operations, and scale file storage without adding another infrastructure silo.
