GPU are poorly used despite their cost

Laurent Gil, President of Cast AI, discusses the findings of the company’s 2026 State of Kubernetes Optimisation Report, a comprehensive analysis of GPU, CPU, and memory utilisation across non-optimised Kubernetes clusters. Drawing on data from tens of thousands of clusters, the report delivers a clear and urgent message: GPU are poorly utilised despite their cost, at 5%; the efficiency gains that Kubernetes was designed to unlock are not emerging naturally with scale, and the gap between what organisations are paying for and what they are actually using is widening.

AI accelerates adversaries and reshapes the attack surface

Zeki Turedi, CrowdStrike Field CTO Europe, discusses the findings of the company’s 2026 Global Threat Report, which reveals that AI is accelerating the adversary and expanding the enterprise attack surface. The Global Threat Report makes clear that as innovation accelerates, adversary exploitation follows. Zeki explains that cybersecurity is entering an AI arms race. Breakout time is the clearest signal of how intrusion has changed. Adversaries are moving from initial access to lateral movement in minutes. AI is compressing the time between intent and execution while turning enterprise AI systems into targets. Security teams must operate faster than the adversary to win.

Why 24/7 IT defence is no longer just a ‘Nice-To-Have’ for SMBs

Nirav Shah, Founder & Director of Technical Excellence at Infrassist, explains that 24x7 IT monitoring and defence is essential for SMBs as an often distributed workforce needs protection around the clock, not just during the ‘normal’ working day. Nirav shares examples of where a lack of round-the-clock monitoring led to serious consequences for a business, warns that SMBs are very much in the sights of today’s bad actors and shares some valuable advice as to how organisations can improve their out-of-hours security posture.

Ofir Bloch, VP at WalkMe, discusses the results of WalkMe’s fifth annual State of Digital Adoption report, which reveals that over half (54%) of workers bypassed AI tools and completed tasks manually at least once in the past 30 days. A further 33% haven’t used AI at all. Rather than friction, the research describes outright rejection. Ofir explains what’s going wrong within the enterprise, with executives and employees apparently at odds when it comes to AI, and explains the ways in which this situation can be addressed for the benefit of individuals and their organisations.

Mind the gap - addressing the risk of shadow AI

Oliver Simonnet, Lead Cybersecurity Researcher at CultureAI, discusses the findings of the company’s The State of Enterprise AI Usage: The Illusion of Control report, which reveals a growing gap between how AI is used in practice and how organisations believe it’s being controlled. The report shows that, while 72% of organisations believe they have full visibility into AI usage, 65% still report detecting unauthorised shadow AI, revealing a structural gap between perceived control and operational reality. Oliver goes on to explain how, in order to adopt AI at scale responsibly, businesses must move beyond policy and implement real-time, enforceable controls where risk is actually created.
