SUSE has released SUSE Linux Enterprise 16, which it describes as the first enterprise Linux distribution to integrate agentic AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The update aims to let operating systems interact more directly with AI models and external data sources.

The Model Context Protocol, introduced in 2024 by Anthropic, is an open standard for connecting large language models to tools and data. It defines a simple client-server structure that allows AI systems to request information or perform tasks across different applications in a consistent way. SUSE’s adoption of MCP is meant to make those capabilities available at the operating system level, without depending on a single AI provider.

A report released today finds that approximately 60 percent of businesses are using three
or more secure sockets layer (SSL) providers and suggests a lack of centralized processes for SSL certificate management.

The study from domain security company CSC analyzed usage trends and patterns for more than 802,000 digital certificates linked to 2.4 million domains. It finds domain validated (DV) certificates account for three-quarters (73.4 percent) of certificates while organization validation (OV) certificates represent nearly a quarter (24.6 percent). Extended validation (EV) certificates account for less than two percent (1.9 percent).

New research reveals that while organizations have nearly doubled their overall AI investment to $27 million (up from $14.7 million in 2024) and 87 percent report that the ROI on their AIOps initiatives has met or exceeded expectations, however, only 12 percent of AI projects have reached full enterprise-wide deployment.

The survey, of 1,200 business decision-makers, IT leaders, and technical specialists, from Riverbed shows organizations report facing several significant barriers to AI implementation. The majority are not fully prepared to roll out AI projects, with challenges including persistent issues with data quality and a gap between leadership optimism and the technical realities of implementation.
