While AI agents improve productivity by automating tasks, firms are now implementing governance and centralized controls to manage proliferation and ensure financial and operational responsibility.

By / Blog / , , ,

The article argues that AI will not inherently speed up processes, especially in software development, because the main bottleneck is often unclear or incomplete problem definitions rather than execution speed. It emphasizes that improving process throughput requires focusing upstream on providing clear, detailed information and predictable inputs to bottlenecks, rather than simply adding resources or relying on AI-generated solutions.

Every AI Subscription Is a Ticking Time Bomb for Enterprise

By / Blog / , ,

AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are currently heavily subsidizing enterprise AI subscriptions, offering services at prices far below their actual operational costs. However, as advanced agentic AI usage rapidly increases computational demands, these companies face unsustainable losses and will soon need to raise prices or shift to usage-based billing models, posing significant financial risks for enterprises that have integrated AI deeply into their workflows without tracking real consumption costs.

More Money Is Going to Physical Security, but It’s Often CISOs That Oversee It: EY

By / Blog / , , ,

A recent EY survey reveals that organizations are increasing budgets for physical security, with nearly 80% allocating more funds, sometimes up to 50%, amid rising board oversight. However, many place responsibility for physical security with Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), blending physical and cybersecurity, which can lead to under-resourcing physical protection; EY recommends centralizing security functions, clarifying accountability, and expanding security preparedness through integrated threat intelligence and realistic crisis simulations.

Stop Blaming Your People: the Case for Human-Centred Cyber Security

By / Blog / , ,

The article argues against blaming employees as the weakest link in cyber security and advocates for a human-centred approach that focuses on educating people as a key defense. Cyber security expert Caitriona Forde emphasizes shifting training from corporate obligation to teaching essential life skills that protect individuals and their families, thereby fostering a culture of empowerment rather than shame. With evolving AI threats, businesses must adopt practical measures like explaining risks, encouraging cautious behavior, sharing experiences openly, verifying requests, and governing AI use to build resilience and reduce incidents.
