Supply chain 'butterfly effects' what are they and how do you navigate them? [Q&A]
The world is a pretty unstable place at the moment, which can lead to problems when it comes to making decisions on whether to invest in new technologies -- particularly in the context of a rapidly changing landscape for supply chains.
We spoke to Jonathan Barrett, CEO of Kallikor, to discuss how a new generation of AI-powered digital twin technology can help businesses to anticipate changes brought about by events outside their control, and adopt efficiency-driving technologies, such as robotics and automation, with confidence.
SIEM and its role in the enterprise SOC [Q&A]
SIEM (security information and event management) is currently one of the cybersecurity field’s most active markets. It holds the promise of making sense of the disparate data sources across enterprise environments to detect and respond to malicious activity.
Over the past year, we’ve witnessed a wave of innovation, mergers and acquisitions and consolidation in this area, largely driven by AI advancements and the push toward the AI-native security operations center (SOC). But there's also a 'data paradox' involved in balancing cost with importing and storing as much data as possible.
Enterprises risk falling behind in AI adoption
Despite the excitement around AI as a transformative force, many enterprises are struggling to adopt the technology in meaningful ways, according to a new survey from Unily.
This has resulted in a growing gap between AI 'haves' and 'have nots,' where enterprises adopting AI tools for their people are making quicker gains than those without. At the same time employees who are open to using AI tools increasingly want more exposure to them and may even choose employers who are early AI adopters over those who are slower to adapt.
CISOs take on extra responsibilities
The majority of CISOs are taking on responsibilities beyond cybersecurity, including business risk, IT oversight, and digital transformation. Three percent of CISOs attribute their raise to taking on larger scope, while others see it reflected in merit increases.
New research from IANS Research and Artico Search surveyed over more than 830 CISOs and other security leaders to understand the key trends and challenges reshaping CISO role.
Delivering return on investment from GenAI [Q&A]
For many people AI has been seen as an answer to all their problems. But a recent Gartner report suggests we could be entering a 'trough of disillusionment' as the biggest challenge when adopting GenAI is estimating and proving the business value.
Getting that value needs creative thinking and integration of GenAI with other technologies that can benefit from its ability to analyze, summarize and create content.
94 percent of organizations now use GenAI apps
New research from Netskope Threat Labs has found that 94 percent of organizations are now using GenAI apps, but interestingly more than 99 percent have controls in place to mitigate the risks that they pose.
Organizational use of GenAI has grown from 81 percent of companies using the apps in 2023. ChatGPT continues to be the most popular genAI app, being used in 84 percent of organizations.
How AI assistants can make sales teams more effective [Q&A]
Most business areas are starting to feel the impact of artificial intelligence, enabling data to be used more effectively to deliver intelligence and outcomes.
Sales, though, has always been about people and building relationships over time, so can AI offer value here too? Nikhil Cheerla, co-founder of sales AI assistant company Nooks, thinks it can, and we talked to him to find out how.
AI agents and what they mean for the enterprise [Q&A]
Artificial intelligence is creeping into more and more areas of business and consequently we’re seeing it used for ever more complex work.
We spoke to Trey Doig, CTO and co-founder at Echo AI, to find out more about AI agents and how they can help solve problems and carry out tasks.
Understanding and taking control of your data ecosystem [Q&A]
Data comes in many forms, it may be structured, it may be unstructured, it could be sensitive or purely statistical. Whatever it looks like you can only benefit from it if you know what you have, where it can be found and how to access it.
We spoke to Brett Hurt, CEO and co-founder of data.world to discuss how enterprises can understand their data and derive the maximum value from it.
The top barriers to AI success and how to overcome them [Q&A]
With the intense interest in AI and its rapid pace of embrace, organizations are under pressure to swiftly evaluate their data architecture. AI architects urgently need solutions that harness AI to boost revenue streams and streamline operational efficiencies, all while navigating the potential barriers to their success.
David Flynn, co-founder and CEO of Hammerspace, a specialist in the use and preservation of unstructured data, recently shed light on the growing complexity IT teams face in managing data pipelines. This complexity is further compounded as organizations integrate LLMs into AI applications, underscoring the significant obstacles to successful AI adoption.
Enterprises struggle to deliver AI agents but new tool could help
Businesses are often under pressure to deliver AI agents, but development teams are struggling with siloed tools, fragmented governance and limited functionality that makes promising prototypes unfeasible in production.
According to a survey of over 1,000 enterprise technology leaders released today by Tray.ai, 42 percent of respondents need access to eight or more data sources to deploy AI agents successfully -- which is impossible when SaaS app agents are restricted in scope by the integrations to which their host applications have access.
Building trust in telemetry data [Q&A]
With the increasing importance of observability in digital operations, businesses need to ensure the reliability and relevance of their telemetry data in order to maintain system and application performance, debug, troubleshoot, respond to incidents and keep their systems secure.
We spoke to Tucker Callaway, CEO of Mezmo, to discuss the strategic considerations and concerns enterprises face in managing and optimizing their telemetry data.
The future of managed file transfer (MFT) in the era of digital transformation [Q&A]
In a time when there's a greater need than ever for remote and online collaboration, the secure transfer of information and digitized records is a non-negotiable essential.
As more enterprise employees create and share increasing amounts of sensitive content, organizations need to be able to manage all of their sensitive data transfers between partners, customers, users and systems, have complete visibility and control over where data goes and ensure the highest levels of security.
Neglect of endpoints presents a major security gap for enterprises
A new report shows that endpoint platform security -- securing the hardware and firmware of PCs, laptops and printers -- is often overlooked, weakening cybersecurity posture for years to come.
The report from HP Wolf Security is based on a global study of over 800 IT and security decision-makers (ITSDMs) and over 6,000 work-from-anywhere (WFA) employees, it shows that platform security is a growing concern with 81 percent of ITSDMs agreeing that hardware and firmware security must become a priority to ensure attackers cannot exploit vulnerable devices.
