The start of a new year is always a good time to take stock. In cybersecurity, one perennial problem – the persistence of “vintage” open source vulnerabilities like Heartbleed and Shellshock – should force us to ask some hard questions. Why do so many vulnerabilities persist in Open Source (OS) tools, and how do we fix the problem? In theory, OS […]

A recent IEEE global study revealed that 96% believe that the innovation, exploration and adoption of AI – specifically agentic AI – will continue at “lightning speed” in 2026. What does that mean? It means that with the cement still hardening on AI regulatory compliance and the necessary data center infrastructure to support it still five years out, we’d better learn

If 2024 was the year AI reshaped IT operations, 2025 was the year Autotask brought it all together. From smarter billing and automated ticketing to a modernized interface designed for the way you work today, this year’s releases delivered some of Autotask’s most impactful improvements yet. And IT teams took notice, with top-tier recognition from

Security needs to be reevaluated in the context of AI, but not everything needs to change at once. Organizations that take a measured approach will do better, not giving into the AI hype cycle but recognizing the strategic ways AI is changing the game — and the ways it is changing security trajectories for the better.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents become more autonomous by accessing critical systems and acting without real-time human oversight, they are evolving from productivity tools into active Non-Human Identities (NHIs) like service accounts or API keys that require the same oversight and controls as human users. This shift expands organizational attack surfaces, introducing new security risks related to

AI is reshaping cybersecurity. Attackers are using AI to accelerate reconnaissance, generate malware, personalize phishing, and automate parts of the attack chain. Defenders now face a human‑plus‑machine problem – one that requires AI to augment analysts, accelerate decisions, and strengthen outcomes. Sophos has been embedding AI across our portfolio for nearly a decade, and agentic

Generative AI tools present both a significant opportunity and a genuine risk. While GenAI can enhance, streamline, and augment a wide range of workflows, it also introduces the potential for misuse and the exposure of sensitive or proprietary data. As a result, many organizations are struggling with GenAI adoption. GenAI is top-of-mind for many IT

Most IT teams are doing impressive work under difficult conditions. Tickets get closed. Systems stay online. Users are supported. On paper, everything is functioning. And yet, there’s a persistent feeling that progress is harder than it should be. As expectations for faster, more consistent and more scalable IT service delivery rise, many teams are starting
