Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) has been the dominant force for AI innovation, helping organizations work faster and smarter, with heightened creativity. The next wave of agentic AI raises the stakes, with the promise of autonomous, multistep workflows and independent decision-making. Yet organizations must strike the right balance between automation and accountability to capitalize on new…
For cybersecurity leaders, particularly those working with defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure, the definition of “cyber resilience” is undergoing a forced evolution. It is no longer a theoretical concept centered on withstanding a single blow. Today, resilience is the urgent, practical capacity to sustain operations amidst a relentless barrage of cyberattacks where the primary goal…
Somewhere between the dashboards, the deadlines, and the daily firefights, we lost the plot. We trained cyber leaders to fix problems quickly, but we overlooked teaching them how to lead effectively in slower situations. We taught them how to audit systems, but not how to coach people. We’ve built a generation of experts who can…
Is your talent pipeline ready for the Agentic Era, or is it stuck in the past? According to a 2023 McKinsey report, activities that account for up to 30% of hours currently worked in the US economy could be automated by 2030, with the greatest impact on job categories such as office support and customer…
He was smart. Respected. Talented. He knew his stuff and had climbed the ranks all the way to the C-suite. He was also on the verge of getting fired. We’ll call him Bob. Bob had a reputation. He pushed hard. Held his team to high standards. But when things didn’t go the way he expected,…
Are you looking to become or move forward as a CIO? Then you’ll need to polish your business and leadership skills across a range of domains or risk career stagnation. “CIOs really need to be conversant across just about everything the company does,” says Mike Loukides, vice president of emerging technology at technology and business…
In Foundry’s State of the CIO Survey 2025, meeting compliance requirements and improving customer experience (CX) were two of the top three business initiatives for this year. On top of the pressure to leverage AI investments and oversee digital transformation projects, CIOs have never been under more pressure. There’s no shortage of reporting tools to…
Many businesses face being exposed to serious cyber threats because quantum computing is set to arrive far more quickly than expected. The threat quantum computers pose to asymmetric encryption has been known about since 1994 when Peter Shor developed Shor’s algorithm. But given the immense compute power required, it’s long been seen as a challenge…
Quantum computing is set to be one of the most transformative technologies of the digital age, unlocking unprecedented computational power to drive innovation at scale. By harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics, these computers promise to solve complex problems exponentially faster than classical machines, driving breakthroughs in fields like drug discovery, supply chain optimisation, and…
Agentic AI has quickly shifted from lab demos to real-world security operations centers (SOC) deployments. Unlike traditional automation scripts, autonomous software agents are designed to act on signals and execute security workflows intelligently, correlating logs, enriching alerts, and even take first-line containment actions. For some security leaders, the value of agentic AI in the SOC…
