Organizations are racing to deploy AI, but warning signs are accumulating. Earlier this year, an internal AI agent gave an engineer instructions that exposed sensitive user and company data for two hours. Around the same time, a large online retailer issued a 90-day safety reset after its AI assistant contributed to an incident that involved…
DetailsOver the course of his career, Jim Reavis has seen cloud and cloud security evolve, and it’s come a long way since being a niche technology in the early 2000s. Now it’s dominant in terms of being the IT foundation, he says, but while the tech is strong, the operating models is where things get…
DetailsEvery technology wave I’ve lived through has arrived with the same promise and failed in the same way. I spent years as CIO and chief digital officer for Procter & Gamble across Asia, the Middle East and Africa — dozens of markets, wildly different levels of digital maturity, one set of global platforms. I now…
DetailsWhen we deployed agentic AI across one of Australia’s largest tourism and cruise operators spanning B2C booking, B2B wholesale, cruise operations, offshore shared services and a live marketplace, we solved most of the expected hard problems faster than anticipated. The small language models worked. The tools integrated. We identified the right proprietary data and focused…
DetailsEnterprise technology leaders are entering a more demanding phase of artificial intelligence adoption, with attention shifting from experimentation toward the organizational, financial, and architectural changes required to deploy AI at scale. That shift will be the focus at the CIO 100 Leadership Live Boston event on Sept. 24. Technology executives, investors, and industry leaders will…
DetailsMars Security, the autonomous threat hunting and detection engineering platform founded by offensive security veterans, today announced Real-Time Intel-Based Detection, a capability that turns newly published threat intelligence into validated, ready-to-deploy detection rules within minutes of release. Built by former offensive operators, the new capability converts advisories from CISA, Mandiant, and other intelligence sources into…
DetailsOracle has reportedly garnered some unwanted attention from the European Commission around its enterprise software licensing practices. The Commission’s antitrust regulators are currently gathering information from third parties about Oracle’s licensing practices to assess whether there is evidence to warrant further action, although it has yet to open a formal investigation into the company, MLex,…
DetailsA swarm of autonomous OpenAI agents spent six weeks this summer turning an obscure, 25-year-old German developer wiki into a private message board, without OpenAI’s knowledge, according to independent researchers. The agents used it to trade answers to timed tasks, reverse-engineer a random number generator, and share a technique for bypassing network restrictions meant to…
DetailsIn Northeast Greenland, where temperatures can plummet to -40°F, security officials rely on the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, led by well-trained canines that guard the sprawling, weather-beaten coastline – tundra territory where snowmobiles commonly fail. Tethered together with the right harness that efficiently channels their collective energy toward a shared mission, the sled dogs are…
DetailsThere are two prevailing schools of thought regarding the AI-agent workforce. One says organizations should prepare for agentic AI, in which the human-in-the-middle role is largely transitional and serves to buy time to improve agents’ accuracy and build trust in their decision-making. Others say AI agents will largely augment humans, but expect workflows to change…
