Military strategists know that asymmetric wars are lost not at the point of attack but at the seams between defensive units, where no single commander owns the territory and information moves slower than the threat. In January 2024, a finance employee at Arup’s Hong Kong office learned this lesson for $25 million, joining a video…
A large majority of IT and security leaders are confident in their teams’ ability to detect when an AI agent has gone rogue, but few are able to take quick action to mitigate the fallout when an agent exceeds its intended scope. Nine in 10 IT and security leaders surveyed by IT observability vendor WanAware…
For the past three years, the AI conversation has been dominated by scale. Bigger models, bigger compute clusters, bigger headlines. But the next wave of competitive advantage won’t come from who can rent the biggest model; it will come from who can build the smallest one that knows their business. That model is the small…
Every enterprise AI conversation seems to begin with the same question: Which model should we use? I understand why. Models are visible. They have names, benchmarks, release notes, pricing pages and impressive demos. They are easy to compare in a leadership meeting. One model promises better reasoning. Another offers a larger context window. Another appears…

The report, posted on X, said the firm is “observing in-the-wild exploitation of the ServiceNow pre-auth sandbox-escape RCE (CVE-2026-6875).” Defused CEO Simo…
When a goal goes in during a tournament quarter-final and a hundred million people watch it at the same time, what they feel is the goal. The roar, the replay, the disbelief. They do not feel the contribution feeds traversing private media networks across continents, or the edge nodes absorbing a traffic spike that appeared…
The biggest and loudest prediction about AI is that it will eliminate millions of jobs. It is dramatic and easy to repeat. But from what I’ve seen, inside most enterprises the more immediate problem has turned out to be something else entirely: a growing mass of tools, agents, models and usage costs spreading faster than…
The emergence of artificial intelligence is beginning to expose a profound weakness in the way modern enterprises measure performance. For decades, business evaluation systems have been built around the logic of the industrial and transactional economy. Revenue growth, operating margins, earnings per share, labor productivity, return on investment and market share became the dominant indicators…
