For the past two years, companies have been racing to build AI agents. Most of that work has been focused inward: Embedding agents inside existing enterprise applications, workflows and teams. Now a more consequential shift is already underway. AI agents are beginning to operate beyond the boundaries of the enterprise, interacting with external systems, coordinating…
Process Monitor is the built-in PeopleSoft tool administrators use to track the status of scheduled jobs. CIOs who only measure success or failure are missing where the real risk lives.

In August 2025, 126 malicious packages landed in the npm registry. Even after the community caught the initial wave, 80 of these hidden backdoors remained actively listed. That was enough. Over 86,000 downloads. Malicious code in PhantomRaven, packages running in the production systems of Fortune 500 companies worldwide. And throughout the entire window, not a single EDR/XDR…

Four months of Claude Code — that’s all it took for Uber to burn through its entire annual budget for AI. Token after token, engineers embraced the platform with few control mechanisms tying costs to outcomes. The result was a budget runaway and a clear case study in how limited oversight snowballs into an AI…

It’s the latest effort by European companies in their fight back against US dominance.

I have worked alongside enterprise technology for more than 30 years and watched AI evolve from a lab experiment into the modern boardroom’s core focus. However, the last few years of implementing AI alongside our customers have delivered our most profound reality checks. The initial hype has faded, leaving CIOs to drive real enterprise value.…
Predicting an outage is tricky business, but CIOs might want to circle Oct. 11, 2026, through Jan. 11, 2027, for likely trouble of a potentially widespread and puzzling nature. That’s because a relatively trivial update to DNSSEC on Oct. 11, one that will take full effect by Jan. 11, is likely to deliver a series…
For years, I have been saying that cybersecurity is no longer a technology problem. It has become a business leadership challenge.
