Elastic targets AI-powered SOC with Alert Zero to eliminate alert fatigue
Security operations centers have spent years stacking tools to solve alert volume issues that tools simply can’t fix, and Elastic is now making the case that AI-powered SOC is the only viable path forward. The problem is structural, according to Mike Nichols (pictured), general manager of security at Elastic. Analysts are burning out because their ...
Cyber risk management moves beyond dashboards toward autonomous remediation
Organizations are rebuilding cyber risk management around faster response as frontier AI turns newly discovered vulnerabilities into usable weapons within hours. The shrinking window between vulnerability discovery and weaponization came up in nearly every conversation at this year’s Black Hat USA, according to Sumedh Thakar (pictured), president and chief executive officer at Qualys Inc. The problem isn’t necessarily ...
Fortinet targets network security platform convergence to address AI-era complexity
In the rush to adopt AI, enterprise security architectures are diminishing, and the only appropriate response is a network security platform that incorporates networking and security into a single, consistently governed fabric. That’s the vision Anthony James (pictured), executive vice president of marketing at Fortinet, pitched at Black Hat 2026. James, who first joined the ...
Cyber resilience emerges as a distinct investment category as downtime costs hit $19M per hour
Cyber resilience is no longer considered a mere technical concern, but a board-level business imperative and a direct investment category. In terms of recovery speed, the organizations that treat it as such will bounce back faster when disruption hits. That evolution is well underway, according to Christy Wyatt (pictured), president and chief executive officer at ...
OPSWAT targets file regeneration over detection for critical infrastructure security
Critical infrastructure security faces a novel threat of the sort that detection-based defenses were never designed to handle, and the critical personnel who run our power grids, water plants and financial systems can’t afford to learn this the hard way. Benny Czarny (pictured), CEO and founder of cybersecurity company OPSWAT Inc., makes this argument clear ...
Cerebras and AMD partner to build the world’s fastest disaggregated AI inference solution
Disaggregated AI inference is proving to be more than a complementary answer to the prefill and decode bottleneck slowing enterprise AI at scale, and Cerebras and AMD just announced a partnership to build the fastest version of it in the world. The recent collaboration pairs AMD’s Helios rack-scale architecture for the compute-intensive pre-fill phase with ...
Knowledge graph architecture gives enterprises ownership of the AI intelligence they create
Knowledge graph architecture has emerged from the concept stage, consigned to the realm of academia, to the production infrastructure stage, and the enterprises that shape it the right way will own the intelligence their AI creates. That’s the central premise Shan Rizvi (pictured), founder and context architect at Thumos Care, is offering to practitioners who ...
Vultr targets open composable stacks and AMD partnership to lead cloud AI infrastructure
Cloud AI infrastructure is shifting into a new cycle, defined by who can deliver the strongest performance per dollar on a global setup that also meets different countries’ sovereignty rules. That’s the premise Vultr is executing on, according to Kevin Cochrane (pictured), chief marketing officer at Vultr. The company began its AMD partnership on the CPU ...
HPE targets HPC and AI infrastructure convergence as supercomputing scale meets enterprise AI
HPC AI infrastructure is no longer a parallel track to traditional computing. They are merging into a unified computing foundation that the supercomputing world has been building toward for years. The same infrastructure once reserved for national laboratory modeling and simulation has become the foundation for enterprise AI factories, and agents are already running scientific ...
AWS EC2 compute evolves to meet agentic AI and physical AI demand
Twenty years on, AWS EC2 compute is meeting demand shaped by agentic AI, physical AI, and customers pushing general-purpose cloud infrastructure into new territory its earliest architects never anticipated. That growth is permeating throughout every layer of the platform, according to Art Baudo (pictured), principal product marketing manager and head of EC2 product marketing at ...
