The practice of building large-scale proprietary AI models in-house is quickly giving way to a new reality: hosted large language models (LLMs) are becoming the default choice for most organizations. Instead of investing the time, money, and talent required to train models from scratch, more companies are opting for API-accessible models from providers like OpenAI,…
Over the past few years, the enterprise has undergone a fundamental transformation. The workforce is no longer tethered to the corporate network or limited to managed devices. Instead, users now work from anywhere—on personal laptops, smartphones, tablets, and any device that offers an internet connection. The rise of the distributed workforce, combined with the explosion…
For hedge funds, the quest for alpha—returns that exceed the market benchmark on a risk-adjusted basis—is the holy grail. It’s the signal in the noise, the edge that justifies fees and attracts institutional capital. Generating alpha isn’t just about picking winners or timing the market right; it’s about consistently identifying inefficiencies and turning them into…
Over the last few years, AI has gone from promising concept to practical necessity in network security. Security teams are overwhelmed—by alerts, by threats, by complexity—and artificial intelligence offers the potential to transform how organizations detect, respond to, and even anticipate attacks. From predictive analytics and anomaly detection to generative AI-driven threat modeling, the future…
In June 2021, a dataset containing information on 700 million LinkedIn users—roughly 92% of the platform’s user base at the time—was posted for sale on a Dark Web forum. The attacker, operating under the alias “God User,” had first released a sample of 1 million records to demonstrate the legitimacy of the breach. The exposed…
Hedge funds operate in one of the most competitive and fast-paced arenas in finance, where milliseconds can define millions and insight is often the rarest commodity. These firms are built to seek outsized returns through aggressive strategies, innovative instruments, and highly specialized market knowledge. But in a world flooded with data, where macro conditions shift…
In February 2019, the cybersecurity world was rocked by one of the largest data exposure incidents ever recorded. Verifications.io, an email address validation service, left a MongoDB database containing 763 million unique email addresses publicly accessible—completely unprotected, with no password or firewall in place. This wasn’t just a list of emails. The exposed records also…
The way organizations build, manage, and secure their IT environments has changed dramatically over the past decade. The rise of cloud computing, remote work, mobile access, and the explosion of SaaS applications have disrupted traditional network architectures. In this new world, users no longer sit inside the four walls of a corporate office connected to…
The first 90 days of a SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) or SSE (Security Service Edge) rollout can determine the long-term success or failure of the entire initiative. This early window sets the tone, pace, and perception of the transformation across your organization. Get it right, and you’ll build momentum, win stakeholder support, and start…
Cloud operating models have become the backbone of modern IT strategy. They allow organizations to scale faster, deploy applications more efficiently, and meet customer demands in real time. With the rise of hybrid and multi-cloud environments, these models have evolved to support increasingly complex infrastructures—where compute, storage, networking, and security services are distributed across on-premises…
