{ "introduction": "

Simon Piff is a seasoned writer with a keen interest in the evolving landscape of technology and its implications for businesses across the Asia Pacific region. His recent works have delved into significant partnerships and offerings, such as the extended collaboration between Oracle and Microsoft, which now allows Microsoft Azure clients to leverage enterprise-grade Oracle Database services in OCI.

In exploring the future of work, Piff has highlighted the reliance of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) on laptops for mobility post-COVID-19. His analysis is rooted in findings from a survey conducted by IDC and ASUS, shedding light on the readiness of SMB owners for a predominantly mobile work environment.

Piff has also focused on the critical domain of cybersecurity, reporting on Lumen's launch of managed security services in the APAC market, including a Managed Endpoint Detection and Response service. This initiative, in collaboration with IDC, aims to bolster security measures for businesses in the region.

Further addressing the pressing issue of cyber threats, Piff has reviewed a Fortinet report that reveals significant cybersecurity concerns in Asia Pacific, particularly the rise in ransomware and phishing attacks. His articles underscore the amplified risks due to increased remote working and the challenges posed by insufficient resource allocation for cybersecurity defences.
