"If you can't trace the data, you can't trust the model." AI is forcing a shift from manual data engineering to operational DataOps. Why? because pipelines built to deliver data "occasionally" break when AI models demand reliability every single day. See how Sovereignty and Lineage are reshaping the stack in 2026: portal.gigaom.com/blog/data-pipe…

The next great cloud breach will be blamed on a "customer click." But history will blame the industry for pretending the bots were out of scope. Non-human identities (service accounts, tokens, keys) are the new attack surface, and the "Shared Responsibility" model is failing to protect them. Chris Ray breaks down why we need to stop accepting "tenant misconfiguration" as an excuse for risky vendor defaults. Read the full post: portal.gigaom.com/blog/cloud-and…

ITAM sustainability features are up 70% year-over-year. But adoption is uneven. Only a handful of vendors are moving beyond basic tracking to offer real decision support for purchasing and end-of-life cycles.

"What is Endpoint Security?" If that’s your headline, your marketing is already dead. 💀 The internet is drowning in AI-generated beige prose. To survive, you need to stop writing for algorithms and start writing what ChatGPT can't fake: failures, deep analysis, and "dog food" logs. See what actually works in the age of the Dead Internet: 🔗 portal.gigaom.com/blog/the-dead-…

Attackers are automating. Is your endpoint defense keeping up? Detection alone is no longer enough. Complexity and alert fatigue are breaking security teams. Join GigaOm and WatchGuard to explore the 2025 EDR Radar Report findings and see how AI and automation are redefining endpoint protection.

Studies show 60-70% of engineering time is wasted on alert noise. The solution wasn't "AIOps"—in fact, AIOps made the confusion worse. AIOps is dead as a unified category. 2026 is the year of fragmentation, LLMOps, and autonomous agents. Stop buying the buzzword.

"Data security, without resilience, is just insight without safety." The gap between SecOps and Data Protection is leaving enterprise data dangerously exposed. As AI accelerates data growth, dynamic, real-time backup policies are no longer optional. Paul Stringfellow breaks down the Veeam + Securiti AI acquisition and the future of data defense.

The biggest bottleneck in AI isn't compute. It's gravity. 📉 Traditional RAG architectures are collapsing under the weight of data migration. The winners of 2026 are "inverting the pyramid"—keeping data in place and bringing intelligence to the edge. The result: 97% lower infra costs and 34% higher success rates. Read how to fix your data strategy: portal.gigaom.com/blog/inverting…

If you're still relying on rules and signatures, you've already lost the technical argument. Attackers are using AI to compress attack chains from days to minutes. The only way to compete is to fight at machine speed. Here is how to prepare your architecture for the AI revolution: portal.gigaom.com/blog/the-ai-re…

2025’s most important security controls weren’t louder or faster. They were invisible. 🤫 We’ve moved from "Surveillance Cameras" (reactive detection) to "Smoke Detectors" (intent interception). If your dashboard is constantly lighting up, you’re already too late. Read why: portal.gigaom.com/blog/why-the-m…

You can buy all the compute in the world, but if your data is siloed and your power grid is tapped out, those H100s are just expensive space heaters. James Brown on why 2026 is the year of the "Infrastructure Tax." portal.gigaom.com/blog/ais-reali…

Prompt injection is like SQL injection’s final boss, except the database now talks back. GigaOm Field CTO & Analyst Chris Ray joins the CISO Series to discuss why there is no magical patch for AI security and why browser extensions are the new corporate espionage vector.

Prediction 12 of 12 from our CEO, Howard Holton: Organizations pursuing "comprehensive security" in 2026 will fail. Howard Holton warns: "The organization that stops the attacks that matter beats the organization that checks all the boxes. Every time." Focus beats comprehensive.

Prediction 11/12: The AI Browser Security Failure. Hard truth: Chrome blocks 47% of phishing URLs. [cite_start]AI browsers block 5.8%.   That isn't "needs improvement." That is fundamentally broken for enterprise security. Block them until the architecture changes. Get the data: portal.gigaom.com/blog/block-the…

Prediction 10 of 12: DataOps Isn't Real. Howard Holton calls it out: "Anything with 'Ops' in the name needs an operating model to be real. I've looked for the DataOps operating model. It doesn't exist." Stop chasing vendor-created categories. Focus on fundamentals. Read the prediction: portal.gigaom.com/blog/dataops-i…

Prediction 9 of 12: The Deep Fake Hiring Epidemic. Howard Holton warns: "Someone on your hiring team was fooled by a deep fake interview this year. They didn't tell you. They're embarrassed." If you hire based solely on a video call, you are vulnerable. Read the prediction: portal.gigaom.com/blog/who-owns-…
