Quantum computing has been in the works for several years now, with one generation of quantum computer after another surpassing its predecessors. Such technology promises to enable people to solve previously intractable problems and perhaps to implement AI technologies well beyond today’s state of the art. That promise, however, has a dark side. We’ve known ...

Software engineering leaders face the challenge of efficiently designing, building and delivering high-value software that customers value. Achieving these goals requires a deep understanding of both business and customer objectives, as well as robust processes for designing, building and supporting digital products. This is all the more challenging considering how quickly the software engineering landscape ...

Thirty months into the generative artificial intelligence awakening, the jury is still out on how much enterprises are benefiting from investments in AI. Though the vast majority of customers continue to spend on AI, reported returns are no greater than, and frankly lag those, typically associated with historical information technology initiatives such as enterprise resource ...

At first glance, as you wander onto this expansive Moscone Center expo floor, witness some of the near-million-dollar booths, you might wonder if the only kind of budget consideration on the chief information security officer’s mind is something related to responding to new artificial intelligence threats with AI agents — or perhaps worrying about monster ...

As enterprise IT becomes more distributed and data-intensive, Google’s Cloud WAN is emerging as a strategic solution to simplify wide area networking while enabling agility for AI, IoT and mission-critical apps. The shift toward multicloud, AI-powered environments is driving demand for software-defined infrastructure that reduces complexity and improves operational efficiency globally. In response, Google has ...

The job of application architects is getting harder as the integration of generative artificial intelligence, adoption of platform engineering, and heightened security demands are providing change at a breakneck pace. As organizations strive to meet increasing automation needs and address cybersecurity threats, understanding these trends and planning effectively becomes crucial. Technology leaders must adjust for ...

As the RSAC 2025 Conference approaches, key themes are emerging that are set to dominate the world’s largest cybersecurity gathering. Industry dynamics are shifting rapidly – from AI enabling higher velocity threats, an intensified platform consolidation debate, high-profile M&A, rising interest in AI agents (with somewhat tepid adoption in cyber), and shifting security budget priorities. ...

“I made this whole program in 5 minutes with just a few (Insert GenAI tool) prompts. Any developer not using AI tools to replace developers will find themselves out of a job in two years”  – random AI fanboy on X Let’s face it, the next few years are going to be really tough for software-driven ...
