Rethink Hybrid Identity: It Is Not the Destination (HYPR)
Hybrid identity persists not because modern workforces require it, but because many organizations continue to support legacy applications, legacy infrastructure, legacy authorization models, and operational processes that predate cloud computing. The continued existence of those dependencies should not be mistaken for validation of hybrid identity as a long-term strategy.

AI Governance Starts with Visibility (ControlUp)
Most IT teams can tell you which AI tools they’ve licensed.

A Practical Guide to Attack Surface Management (Arctic Wolf)
Prioritization is where ASM earns its keep. Instead of ranking by CVSS score alone, it combines exploitability signals with control coverage, misconfiguration data, and business context like asset criticality. The result is a short, defensible list of what to fix first, rather than tens of thousands of findings with no context.

Mastering Capacity Analytics: How to Grow Infrastructure Without Guesswork (Cribl)
Capacity is not just CPU and RAM, either. A realistic plan may include storage IOPS, network throughput, cloud egress, software licensing, retention, compliance, recovery objectives, and workforce capacity. Infrastructure planning needs to account for compute, storage, network, licensing, and the people required to operate it.
