Companies are reaping significant rewards from AI engineers, despite early skepticism. I'm seeing them save precious time for developers on work like whittling down the engineering backlog, bug fixing, or integrations. While engineering copilots are just taking their first

Does DLP deserve the bad rap? A security leader shared with me that in his experience DLP is high for false positives, but also missed volume. So not only is it painful when it triggers on anything that looks like a phone number or SSN even when it's not actual PII, it's still

IT spending will grow 9.8% in 2025 according to Gartner, but most of that gain will go to increased prices “This means that, in 2025, nominal spending versus real IT spending will be skewed, with price hikes absorbing some or all of budget growth. All major categories are

The hardest problems in application security today are context-dependent. Authorization issues, PII data leaks, YAML misconfigurations in prod. Where code is run, why it was written, and what purpose it serves all make a huge difference in how much risk is being introduced to
