TOP 5 REASONS TO PUT PRIVILEGE FIRST

July 20, 2020

Privileged access is the gateway to an organization’s most valuable assets and is at the core of nearly every major security breach. Organizations must have a strategy in place to manage and monitor privileged access, as well as detect and respond to threats if they’d like to mitigate risk from today’s advanced attacks. Your application stack and infrastructure is likely quite complex and it can be hard to identify which assets are the most sensitive. And there is a never-ending supply of vendors knocking down your door competing for your time and attention. These two realities make it increasingly difficult to identify which security project to tackle next. When thinking about how to prioritize, it is advantageous to take a step back and think about your businesses goals, albeit in a slightly different way: try to envision what you would be looking for if you were an external attacker or malicious insider looking to steal sensitive data, commit Ransomware, or use your infrastructure for illicit cryptomining.

CIO vision 2025: Bridging the gap between BI and AI

whitePaper | September 23, 2022

It’s been several years since organizations began adopting artificial intelligence (AI) to improve their business; few have come close to mastering its existing capabilities. A small number of organizations in our research aim to become AI-driven—a status we define as AI and machine learning underpinning almost everything the enterprise does—by 2025. However, this elite group—who we term “AI leaders”1—as well as the many others looking simply to embed AI more firmly in the enterprise foundations face formidable challenges to achieving their objectives.

Beyond the hype: A guide to understanding and successfully implementing artificial intelligence within your business

whitePaper | January 4, 2022

When people hear AI they often think about sentient robots and magic boxes. AI today is much more mundane and simple—but that doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. Another misconception is that high-profile research projects can be applied directly to any business situation. AI done right can create extreme return on investments (ROIs)—for instance through automation or precise prediction. But it does take thought, time and proper implementation. We have seen that success and value generated by AI projects is increased when there is a grounded understanding and expectation of what the technology can deliver from the C-suite down.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE OF MANUFACTURING

whitePaper | November 1, 2021

Robotics, automation, Internet of Things (IoT), and data are not new in manufacturing. Manufacturing is one of the most data-rich and first industries piloting artificial intelligence at the edge. It’s been estimated, however, that about 95% of all industrial data goes unused. The reason? Legacy equipment and operational systems that tend to be proprietary and siloed are incapable of communicating with each other.
