78% of IT Job Postings Already Require AI Skills

By / Blog / , ,

AI competencies are now central to IT jobs, with 78% of postings in advanced economies requiring these skills. Most fast-growing roles involve AI, and soft skills are increasingly important. While automation may lead to significant job loss, even more positions will be created, although reskilling—not just upskilling—is essential for workers displaced by technology. Entry-level job ads are dropping in some sectors due to AI, but retiring professionals will open new opportunities for younger workers. Companies are adjusting hiring and training practices, and new entry-level roles will require more complex knowledge work. Europe is slower than English-speaking regions to invest in these workforce changes.

7 Reasons IT Teams Fail to Exceed Your Expectations

By / Blog / , ,

IT teams often fail to exceed expectations due to spending too much time on maintenance, lacking clear business objectives, acting more like service vendors than partners, and not always getting the necessary participation from business units. Ineffective project prioritization leads to overcommitment, while rising demands—especially for AI—can outstrip IT’s capacity. Additionally, many IT professionals don’t naturally think in business terms, which hinders their ability to deliver high-value results. Addressing these issues involves adopting automation, clarifying outcomes, fostering partnership, enforcing prioritization, setting realistic expectations, and training staff in business-oriented and AI skills.

Still Complaining About Compliance? Attackers Love Hearing That

By / Blog / ,

Compliance frameworks in cybersecurity, like NIST, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, are often viewed as burdens, but in reality, they drastically reduce breach risk, costs, and damage. These frameworks establish concrete controls that address predictable weaknesses, enforce accountability, require robust incident response planning, and strengthen supply chains by holding vendors to higher standards. While compliance is not a guarantee against all attacks, it creates discipline, closes security gaps, and should be treated as a baseline for security, not an endpoint. Organizations that embrace compliance as a strategic asset, rather than a box-checking exercise, outperform less structured competitors and help protect broader society.

The Silent Workforce: Why Unmanaged Bot Identities Are the Next Systemic Risk

By / Blog / , , ,

Organizations are rapidly adopting Robotic Process Automation Management (RPAM) to address security risks from the growing number of non-human identities (bots) outnumbering humans 45 to 1. Traditional security measures fail to protect these bots, leading to vulnerabilities as credential theft is common. RPAM provides a solution by enforcing secure credential management, ensuring dynamic rotation, and enhancing compliance with regulations, ultimately bridging the gap between automation speed and security needs.
