Atlassian has ended new Data Center (DC) license sales and continues to prioritize Cloud for new customers. If you’re already using a data center, you have to plan your migration to the Cloud. And if you’re buying your first license, Atlassian Cloud is the only option. That shift comes with multiple benefits, like agility, scalability, and lower cost overhead. However, your DC environment, being on-premise, gave you more direct control over security.

The amount of code being generated in the era of AI is staggering, and some non-trivial percentage of that code is insecure. According to the 2026 GenAI Code Security Report, roughly 44% of AI generated code test produced a known vulnerability. Organizations are more reliant than ever on cybersecurity programs that can scale at the velocity of AI while still managing risk with guardrails, governance, and compliance standards.

CISOs can strengthen security budget conversations by replacing feature comparisons with measurable operational evidence. Establish the current burden, show how an investment changes security operations, and connect those improvements to financial impact. Metrics such as alert volume, analyst investigation time, manual effort, and capacity gained help CFOs evaluate security investments in terms of cost, benefit, predictability, and measurable business value. Every CISO has been there.

Somewhere in the last few months, the math of application security quietly broke. Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview didn’t just analyze code, it found a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD, a 16-year-old bug in FFmpeg, and a 17-year-old remote code execution flaw in FreeBSD, entirely on its own. Then it went further: it built working exploits for them. No human guidance. No months of manual research. And by Anthropic’s own account, this is only a preview of what’s coming.

Organizations pushed toward Intune are hitting the same wall regardless of industry or size. Intune doesn't manage servers, can't do bare metal imaging, still lacks the OU-style hierarchy and delegation Group Policy admins are used to, and covers a fraction of the settings Group Policy has supported for 20 years, though that gap has narrowed. That's why so many IT teams are stuck running Group Policy and Intune side by side years past their planned cutover.
