MINNEAPOLIS — Modern penetration testing provider NetSPI today announced a new, modern user experience for the NetSPI platform, reimagining what penetration testing should feel like for today’s enterprise: focused, fast, and easy. Security teams are being asked to do more, faster, across attack surfaces that don’t sit still. Yet too many pentesting programs remain slow, … continue reading
Linux Foundation to Use $12.5M in Grant Funding to Advance Open Source Security
The Linux Foundation has announced it will use $12.5 million in grants to develop long-term, sustainable security solutions that support open source communities worldwide. This is necessary, the foundation said in its announcement, because rapid advances in AI have created a more complex security landscape with vulnerabilities being found in much greater numbers, leaving security teams … continue reading
Why Gateway API Is the Front Door for AI Workloads
The AI boom is reshaping application architectures. Large Language Model (LLM) inference has fundamentally altered the requirements of the Kubernetes networking stack. Kubernetes is now the default environment for scheduling GPU-accelerated workloads, but the last mile of delivery — connecting a user request to the optimal model instance — is increasingly a bottleneck. Traditional ingress … continue reading
IBM Announces Expanded Collaboration with NVIDIA to Advance AI for the Enterprise
ARMONK, N.Y. – IBM today announced at GTC 2026 an expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to help enterprises operationalize AI at scale. Advancing efforts across GPU-native data analytics, intelligent document processing, on-premises and regulated infrastructure deployments, cloud, and consulting, the collaboration aims to give enterprises the data foundation, infrastructure, and expertise to move AI from pilot … continue reading
Identity Debt: The New Source of Privilege Sprawl Overlooked by Security Teams
Let’s talk about debt. For years, enterprises have made decisions that help them move faster in the moment – taking shortcuts, postponing cleanup, or accepting imperfect visibility – knowing it will create technical debt they’ll eventually have to unwind. Many leaders accept this trade-off. While they know it will be a pain to deal with … continue reading
The Most Critical Element Of Your AI Strategy Is The One You Find Most Boring
I know the pressure you are under right now. In every meeting I attend with technology leaders, the conversation inevitably drifts toward the same mandate: “What is our AI story?” You are expected to explain how AI will predict the next outage, optimize traffic flows, and finally deliver the self-healing infrastructure that has been promised … continue reading
Zero-Trust Architecture for AI Pipelines: Why Your Security Model Needs to Evolve
Security teams have spent decades building defenses around network perimeters. AI pipelines make those perimeters meaningless. Data moves constantly between training environments, model registries, inference endpoints, and third-party services. A fraud detection system I worked on in a large healthcare setting illustrates why: the workflow relied on governed clinical and claims data, real-time event signals, … continue reading
The Next Evolution of Observability: Why Your Telemetry Needs to be AI-First
The DevOps and Platform Engineering landscape is undergoing a massive shift. As AI-driven automation accelerates, the volume of machine-generated telemetry data is growing exponentially. Consequently, traditional observability platforms are struggling to provide the context and speed necessary for AI-scale operations. Existing tools, built for humans reading logs, are failing to keep up with intelligent agents … continue reading
Blind Spots in Hybrid IT: SolarWinds Report Finds 77% of IT
A critical misalignment between modern IT architecture and the monitoring and observability tools needed for full-stack visibility has led to those tools not being able to keep pace, according to the 2026 SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability report. The report found that: 77% of respondents cite limited visibility across on-prem and cloud environments 75% … continue reading
MariaDB to Acquire GridGain: Architecting the Real-Time Foundation for the Agentic Enterprise
MILPITAS, Calif. and DUBLIN – MariaDB today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire GridGain, the pioneer of in-memory computing and creator of open source Apache Ignite. By merging MariaDB’s AI-ready relational database with GridGain’s scalable, in-memory power, MariaDB is setting a new industry standard: sub-millisecond data infrastructure for the agentic era. GridGain … continue reading
From Monoliths to Microservices to AI-Native: The Next Evolution of Distributed Systems
The architectural patterns that powered the microservices revolution are showing their age. When my peers and I began designing distributed systems for companies like Cisco, Amazon, and Palo Alto Networks, we optimized for stateless, horizontally scalable services with predictable resource consumption. AI workloads follow a different set of rules. Transformer architectures demand frequent synchronization of … continue reading
Lightrun Launches AI SRE With Live Dynamic Runtime Context
The reliability of software has grown as an issue with the massive adoption of AI agents and code assistants, moving developers from coding to issue remediation and the development bottleneck to runtime. Lightrun, a leader in software reliability, today announced a real-time AI SRE built on live runtime context, allowing AI agents and engineering teams … continue reading
Reimagining Artifact Management for DevSecOps: Harness Artifact Registry GA
Harness today is announcing the general availability of Artifact Registry, representing a deliberate shift in how artifact management should work in secure software delivery. For years, teams have accepted a strange reality: you build in one system, deploy in another, and manage artifacts somewhere else entirely. CI/CD pipelines run in one place, artifacts live in … continue reading
Abstract Launches AI-GEN Composable SIEM, Redefining the Future of Security Operations
San Francisco – Abstract Security, which provides streaming-first security data operations, has announced the launch of AI-GEN Composable SIEM, a new architectural standard for modern security operations built natively for AI, streaming data, and modular control. As security data volumes grow 25–30% annually and multi-cloud complexity accelerates, traditional SIEM platforms have struggled to keep pace. … continue reading
