The opening of a new office building isn’t typically cause for much fanfare outside of a ceremonial red ribbon and an oversized pair of scissors. But C Spire’s smart new headquarters in Birmingham, Ala., is anything but typical.

On the contrary, the new C Spire future-proof workspace in Birmingham is one of only a few places in the U.S. where team members, partners and prospective clients can experience the power of Cisco’s latest technologies in action.

While cybersecurity remains top of mind for healthcare professionals, the industry lacks some readiness to deal with threats in several areas, according to a 2024 Cisco study.

Next-level tech is coming to Birmingham with the return of Bytes & Bites, hosted by C Spire. The annual technology summit is expected to draw 600+ business and IT professionals for networking, leading-edge demonstrations, and lunch on May 4.

In our first myth-busting story, we set several cybersecurity misconceptions straight and began establishing that, contrary to popular belief, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) take IT security very seriously indeed.

A surprising 13% of US organizations globally have the "mature" level of readiness needed to be resilient against today’s modern cybersecurity risks, according to Cisco’s first-ever Cybersecurity Readiness Index. The index has been developed against the backdrop of a post-COVID, hybrid world, where users and data must be secured wherever work gets done.

There’s a common misconception that small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) don’t take cybersecurity as seriously as large enterprises. Nothing could be further from the truth.
