AI and the rise of hybrid work are rewriting the rules of persona-based provisioning. Equipping the workforce by persona used to be a straightforward exercise: the org chart supplied the groups, a stereotype supplied the requirements, and the model held because most people worked roughly the same way. Not anymore. AI keeps redrawing what roles need,…
Device management does not often surface in executive conversations. But it probably should. The hardware employees use every day has quietly become one of the most consequential investments an organization makes—shaping how productively people work, how securely the business operates, how cleanly it meets compliance obligations, and how prepared it is for the next wave of…
The best DEX platform for another company tells you almost nothing about the best one for yours. The leading platforms are each built around a different strength — virtual sessions, hardware-level signals, the employee’s voice — and a strength only matters where your environment needs it. Which is why the decision isn’t really about the platforms. It’s…
Two leading AI developers have released fresh evidence of a problem that researchers have long anticipated: advanced models searching for ways around the limits imposed on them.

Patch compliance climbing quarter over quarter. Every number accurate, and every one trusted by the executive team. When trouble finally arrives, it skips amber entirely. It comes…
CIOs are dealing with a lot of change, from the rapid rise of AI and cloud modernization, to cybersecurity and workforce transformation. Many are sharing what they’re learning as they tackle these challenges, including what’s working, what isn’t, and how they’re implementing new technologies in their organizations. Here, a select group of tech leaders reveal…
When juniors take naive questions to an AI assistant instead of a colleague, dashboards record fewer interruptions and higher velocity. What they miss is the erosion of senior engineers’ architectural fluency, and the single point of failure that hardens until an outage forces someone to explain the system out loud. Over the past year, I…
