File server security remains a priority for organisations that retain on-premises storage alongside cloud-based services, with access governance at the centre of efforts to protect sensitive data. Despite continued migration to software-as-a-service platforms, many businesses are maintaining traditional file servers because they offer predictable local storage costs, control over data and backups, support for legacy systems, and fewer concerns about ownership and data sovereignty.

Gould, now the Canterbury Bulldogs’ general manager, said he would be prepared to pay Cleary $2.5 million a season in a hypothetical NRL auction, underlining the value he places on the influential halfback. “Players like Reece Walsh and Nathan Cleary, someone would pay extraordinary money for them,” Gould said on the Six Tackles with Gus podcast. He added that the game’s leading playmakers were probably underpaid, although Cleary’s valuation…
