According to the World Economic Forum, 45% of cyber leaders are concerned about disruption to their companies’ operations, while 71% of small businesses felt they could not adequately secure their operations. Why is this the case? Most organizations are still playing “risk whack-a-mole” – a never-ending game you can’t win. With so much information available…
Cloud has amplified agility — and complexity. As cloud assets multiply, blind spots and policy drift grow. That sprawl erodes resilience; if you can’t consistently see, classify, and protect all your data and workloads, you can’t predictably restore operations when cyberattacks hit. Cloud sprawl is rarely a technology failure; it’s a human and governance challenge.…
78% of organizations report using AI in at least one business function, according to a report from McKinsey. Translation: Your organization’s use of AI is no longer your only concern. The frontier of exposure now extends to your partners’ and vendors’ use. The main question being: Are they embedding AI into their operations in ways…
When I first began leading digital transformation programs in healthcare and insurance, my focus was on efficiency, reducing claim cycle times, automating manual steps and improving call center productivity. Those were important wins, but over time, I realized something deeper: none of it mattered if the patient or member experience didn’t improve. In one large-scale…
For the past several decades, enterprises have been integrating various processes and workflows through tools that reach out to every corner of the enterprise. Some called this “business intelligence,” “business process management,” or “robotic process automation,” but no matter the buzzword, the solution was the same: a centralized system to hoover up data, chew it,…

You ever look at an invoice and think, “Where the hell did that come from?” That’s the Universal Service Fund (USF). One line item. No control. And suddenly you’re paying 38% more on key parts of your stack. In Q4 2025, the Federal Communications Commission set the USF contribution factor at 38.1%. That’s not a…
생성형 AI 도입이 빠르게 확산되는 가운데, 기업들은 법규제와 보안, 계약, 국제 표준 등 다층적인 과제에 맞닥뜨리고 있다. 이번 대담에서는 사이버보안 및 기술 분야 전문가인 이이다 아사히로(트렌드마이크로·Generative AI Japan 이사, 사진 왼쪽)와 AI 및 디지털 법제 분야에 정통한 변호사 시바야마 요시노리(아베·이쿠보·카타야마 법률사무소 / 일본 딥러닝 협회 자문위원, 사진 오른쪽)가 함께 국내외 규제 동향과 실무 대응의 핵심을…
AI가 스스로 거래를 실행하거나, 대출을 승인하고 계약을 협상하는 상황에서는 단순히 무슨 문제가 있었는가보다 ‘누가 책임을 져야 하는가’가 핵심 질문이 된다. 이런 질문에 대한 해답은 점점 더 시급해지고 있다. AI가 단순히 조언하는 단계를 넘어, 여러 단계를 스스로 계획하고 실행하는 ‘에이전틱(Agentic)’ 시스템으로 진화하고 있기 때문이다. AI가 예기치 않게 행동한다면 더 이상 책임 문제를 사후에 논의할 수 없다.…
IBM은 신규 클라우드 고객을 대상으로 VM웨어(VMware)와 VM웨어 클라우드 파운데이션(VMware Cloud Foundation) 제공을 중단하기로 결정했다. 이에 따라 IBM은 레드햇 오픈시프트(Red Hat OpenShift)를 가상화 플랫폼 대안으로 본격 제안할 수 있게 됐다. 이번 조치는 자발적이기보다는, 브로드컴의 정책 변경에 따른 불가피한 결정에 가깝다. IBM은 클라우드 상태 페이지에서 “브로드컴의 VM웨어 클라우드 서비스 프로바이더(VCSP) 파트너 프로그램 변경으로 인해, 2025년 10월 31일…
