The Ministry of Health and the healthcare system continue to employ digital technologies and artificial intelligence to bring healthcare services closer to beneficiaries and facilitate access wherever they are, in line with the objectives of the Health Sector Transformation Program, stemming from Saudi Vision 2030. The program has reshaped the concept of healthcare delivery, making prevention the starting point and human health the ultimate goal, in a transformation that is redefining the relationship between beneficiaries and healthcare. Seha Virtual Hospital stands out as one of the key pillars of this transformation. It is the world’s largest virtual hospital, according to Guinness…
For seven years, Farah Libardee returned to Sharan Budhrani’s home and his world: to long conversations in his studio, messages and poems sent across cities, and time spent listening not only to Sharan but to the people who have held his life together. There were the difficult medical chapters, the tracheostomy, the hospital stays and the wordless months. There was also painting, football, speeches, friends, family, and the wry humour that has survived even the darkest moments. The result is Chasing Kites, a deeply personal, multi-perspective biography that Farah has given to Sharan — a book that preserves his journey…

Bharat Raigangar. How AI acceleration turned Supply Chain Trust Risk Management on its head – why the Board needs to rethink nth Party – vendor security today. For decades, enterprise supply chain security ran on a comfortable rhythm of polite trust and administrative paperwork. Once a year, vendor management teams sent out massive, 200-question spreadsheets: CAIQs, SIGs, SOC 2 reports asking third-party partners to attest to their security hygiene. Vendors stamped them, compliance checked the box, and everyone moved on. Then, artificial intelligence broke the timeline. AI hasn’t just introduced new threat vectors; it has fundamentally altered the economics of exploitation. Attackers no longer…
Ericsson was recently selected by AT&T to supply them with 600MHz dual-band radios as the latter works to put newly acquired spectrum from EchoStar to use across its wireless network. The operator stated the move is part of its ongoing effort to boost capacity, coverage, and performance nationwide, with a particular focus on improving reliability in harder-to-reach places, including indoors and in rural areas. AT&T explained the 600MHz spectrum is especially valuable because it can travel farther and penetrate buildings more effectively than some higher-frequency spectrum, helping customers stay connected in more locations, whether at home, at work, or on…
Ehab Adel, Director – Cybersecurity & AI Factory, Mindware. For years, cybersecurity strategies were built around a single objective: keep attackers out. Organisations invested heavily in firewalls, antivirus software, perimeter defenses, and access controls, believing that stronger preventive measures would stop cyber threats before they could cause harm. Today’s digital enterprises operate in an environment where sophisticated attackers, cloud-first infrastructures, remote workforces, connected devices, third-party ecosystems, and artificial intelligence have dramatically expanded the attack surface. Even the most mature organisations acknowledge an uncomfortable reality: no security control can prevent every attack. The question is no longer if an organisation will experience a cyber incident.…
FIFA on Saturday (Aug 8) condemned “a concerted and ongoing effort by some to undermine” the world game’s governing body and its president Gianni Infantino as the controversy over his now-shelved private investment plan rumbles on. Infantino has faced calls to resign and was also subject to allegations from a British newspaper on Friday that he paid off a lover while at European governing body UEFA. “Recent reporting has included unsubstantiated assertions and demonstrably false claims concerning FIFA and its President,” said the FIFA statement. Infantino served as secretary general of European football’s governing body from 2009 to 2016. According…
