How IBM is supporting developers with AI education [Q&A]
In May of last year, IBM launched watsonx, its enterprise-ready AI and data platform, and made it generally available in July.
Alongside this it has launched some new free generative AI educational courses and content to help developers and IT practitioners build their AI and open source skills. We spoke with Savio Rodrigues, vice president, ecosystem engineering and developer advocacy at IBM to learn more.
Enterprises face problems integrating AI
New research from Tray.io shows that over 90 percent of enterprises are currently experiencing limitations integrating AI into their tech stack.
Almost three-quarters of companies (73 percent) report that more than half of the apps in their tech stack have AI capabilities or AI-augmented features, and 96 say they percent plan to use these features to improve process efficiency and employee productivity, increase customer satisfaction rates and reduce costs.
Why use of Apple devices is growing in the enterprise [Q&A]
The use of Apple devices in the enterprise has increased in recent years. But what's behind this trend and how much impact is it having?

Cybercriminals use identities to target enterprises
A new report from IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence highlights an emerging global identity crisis as cybercriminals double down on exploiting user identities to compromise enterprises worldwide.
The 2024 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index report records a 71 percent spike in cyberattacks caused by exploiting identity as using valid accounts has become the path of least resistance for cybercriminals, with billions of compromised credentials accessible on the Dark Web.
The evolving roles of the CIO and CISO [Q&A]
The relationship between an organization's chief information officer (CIO) and chief information security officer (CISO) has traditionally been somewhat at odds, since CIO's job is built around sharing information and the CISO's job is to secure it. Plus, the CIO was normally higher in the organizational hierarchy, which could also cause some tension.
But the relationship has evolved in recent years, to the point where the two positions are often more on par with each other. And with security's growing importance to the business (and the boardroom), the two jobs often share the same goals and responsibilities.
Sophisticated phishing campaigns bypass enterprise secure email gateways
A new report from Cofense based on data from its Phishing Detection Center identifies over 1.5 million malicious emails bypassing customers' secure email gateways (SEGs), a 37 percent increase in threats compared to 2022.
The report shows that SEGs struggle to keep pace with sophisticated phishing campaigns and that relying on 'good enough' email security is no longer an option for most enterprises.
New solution secures any browser for the enterprise
With more and more businesses relying on SaaS solutions, securing the endpoint browser is vital. Often this involves enterprises imposing a particular browser on their users rather than allowing a choice.
In a new approach, Menlo Security is launching a complete enterprise browser solution that can turn any browser into a secure enterprise browser.
People cannot be patched
When an organization is aware software is vulnerable, it focuses on patching systems to mitigate the risk. Likewise, when security technology becomes outdated, newer versions plug the gaps. However, with people there’s no patch or update readily available.
Instead, a workforce needs to stay abreast of the current threat landscape to ensure the company remains in a good position to combat cyber risks. However, almost 80 percent of leaders lack confidence in their team's ability to tackle cyber threats effectively. This highlights a substantial weakness in current cybersecurity strategies.
Managing multi-cloud complexity: Frameworks to adopt, pitfalls to avoid, and strategies to bring it all together
As many companies are discovering, a multi-cloud environment can offer improved workload portability, purchasing power and increased innovation velocity, as well as other significant benefits. However, managing a multi-cloud environment can be challenging. From complex integrations to fragmented cost visibility to security and compliance concerns, today’s tech leaders can become overwhelmed.
Competing organizational interests, lack of expertise, and unexpected or hidden costs can detract from the great promise of a multi-cloud environment. Organizations need the right people, processes, and tools to overcome the challenges and realize the rewards.
Unlocking business potential through outcome-based security [Q&A]
Traditionally, organizations have focused on measuring the results of their cyber security strategies in terms of threat events or security incidents to determine how effective their security controls are.
However, in today's fast-paced world, the real game-changer is aligning security outcomes with business objectives and this is where 'outcome-based security' plays a huge role. It's a shift in focus for organizations, but one which can empower security teams to add even greater value to the strategic goals of the business.
Forest outages risk axing enterprise AD systems
A 'forest' -- in case you didn't know -- is the top-level logical container in an Active Directory configuration that holds domains, users, computers, and group policies.
This level presents a security challenge and a new survey of 1,000 IT professionals from Cayosoft reveals a 172 percent increase in forest-wide Active Directory outages since 2021.
