One hundred and ninety-three in 41 countries: that is the reported figure on cases of social media shutdowns across Africa between 2016 and 2024. The subsequent years weren’t any better, with cases rising to 300 between 2024 and 2026. Each case affecting at least 10 million people: national stakeholders target platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and…
Security operations centers (SOCs) are under growing pressure. As cyberthreats become more sophisticated and enterprise environments expand across hybrid and multicloud infrastructures, traditional approaches to security monitoring are struggling to keep pace. Many SOCs remain heavily focused on reactive workflows, responding to alerts and incidents after they occur rather than proactively reducing risk. This model…
As enterprises accelerate their adoption of artificial intelligence, many are deploying AI agents to automate tasks, interact with systems, and support operational decision-making. These agents are rapidly becoming more autonomous, capable of initiating actions, orchestrating workflows, and interacting directly with infrastructure. However, while organizations are investing heavily in AI capabilities, many are discovering that their…
In 2003, I founded DCSL Software, which later became One Beyond. I exited in 2023 after taking the company international and growing it to more than 300 people. Since then, I’ve founded a robotics start-up and raised over £4M in seed funding. I never expected to be writing production software again. I stopped coding day-to-day…
Si echamos la mirada 20 años atrás, la labor del mayorista se centraba en tres puntos fundamentales: la logística, la financiación del canal y la disponibilidad del producto. La distribución se sustentaba sobre la venta de aparatos y los procesos manuales; había una tremenda dependencia del margen del producto y la diferenciación era tan escasa…
GenAI and agentic systems have supercharged the dream of true 1:1 personalization. The promise is compelling: Give an AI agent the ability to plan (and reason) and act, and suddenly it’s not just writing better emails. It’s handling the entire journey: From crafting the message to picking the right person, choosing the channel(s) and timing,…
Snowflake said it plans to acquire US-based startup Natoma to boost governance, security, and connectivity for AI agents operating across heterogeneous enterprise environments, amid growing efforts by organizations to move agentic AI workflows from pilots into production. The cloud data platform provider is betting that enterprises will increasingly require centralized governance, identity controls, and auditability…
CIOs rushing to roll out AI agents without real visibility into their decision-making processes are flirting with disaster. According to AI experts, deploying agents without observability processes and tools creates a ticking time bomb with the potential for huge negative consequences. Many companies are deploying AI agents and expecting them to increase productivity with little…
When Anthropic broke the news of Mythos and Project Glasswing, the security community did what it always does. It published a flurry of papers asking, “What does this mean for security?” It’s a reasonable instinct, but it’s the wrong question. The real question is who actually owns the problem? The advice is right. The audience…
Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to sit down with hundreds of CIOs navigating the “messy middle” of AI, where ambition is high, expectations are rising, and the path forward is anything but clear. In those conversations, one theme continues to surface: Many organizations know what they stand for, but far fewer know…
