Building a Future-Proof Cloud Strategy Without VMware

May 5, 2026 By Mark Mazza In Opti9
For two decades, VMware was the default answer for virtualization. It worked, it was well supported, and the commercial terms were predictable enough that infrastructure strategy could largely ignore the underlying platform and focus on workloads. Broadcom’s acquisition ended that. Perpetual licences are gone. Product catalogues have collapsed from 168 offerings into four mandatory bundles. Per-core minimums have created fixed costs for capacity many organisations don’t use.

A recent open letter from the UK government on AI-driven cyber threats highlights a clear shift in the threat landscape.

May 5, 2026 By Greg Zemlin In Zenity
Gartner named Zenity the company to beat in the AI Agent Governance category in its AI Vendor Race: Zenity Is the Company to Beat in AI Agent Governance report as of 17 April 2026. The evaluation covered technical capabilities, customer implementations, business model, and ecosystem strength.

Why "Block All PII" Is the Wrong Answer: Handling Sensitive Data in MCP Systems

May 5, 2026 By Amar Kanagaraj In Protecto
If your first instinct when connecting an LLM to enterprise systems via MCP is to strip out all personally identifiable information, you’re building a system that is useless. The “block all PII” approach sounds responsible. It checks a compliance box. But it fundamentally misunderstands what MCP-based AI systems do and why they need data in the first place. The real engineering challenge is not blocking data.

Announcing LimaCharlie Case Management: Built for agentic security workflows

May 5, 2026 By Daniel Ballmer In LimaCharlie
Security operators often struggle with the escalating friction that naturally occurs in their detection and response (D&R) workflow. Detections fire in one tool. Investigations happen in another. Case tracking lives in a third. For MSSPs managing dozens of client environments, fragmentation compounds quickly. Analyst time bleeds into context-switching. SLAs are hard to track. When something goes wrong, reconstructing what happened across multiple platforms is painful.

The Top 12 Compliance Tools for Unapproved AI Use

May 5, 2026 By Teramind In Teramind
Compliance teams have control over approved corporate systems like enterprise software, managed databases, and internal applications. But they don’t have the same over what employees paste into ChatGPT, upload to Claude, or share with Gemini and other unauthorized AI tools. As such, when auditors review AI usage controls, most organizations discover they can’t prove that employees aren’t exposing regulated data through external AI services.
