When connectivity integrates edge computing and unified control, organizations gain a clearer view of operations, reduce latency, and manage complexity with greater precision, especially in distributed environments like retail and logistics.

CIOs are suddenly seeing a notable uptick in autonomous AI, spurred by the success of OpenClaw and enterprise-grade equivalents like Claude Cowork https://t.co/YD9kQe78Ve My take: It’ll all come down to how good the guardrails and oversight are.
CIOs: You cannot "block" your way out of the agentic era. But you can't leave the door wide open either. It’s time to redefine governance before your inbox becomes a Trojan Horse. The breakdown: https://t.co/5poCN8at4u #CIO #CISO #AI #Agentic #Cybersecurity #RSAC2026
One advantage of working with ISMG's CXO advisory practice is exposure to thousands of cybersecurity leaders. You hear what is actually worrying them. Right now the themes are pretty consistent: AI governance Identity security Third party risk Board level accountability What's top of your list?
RT CIOs and CISOs keep asking, "Where do we start with agentic AI in operations?" My answer: target the seams between ITOps and SecOp - handoffs, ticket ping-pong, and tribal workflows. #CIO #CISO #AI @Star_CIO https://t.co/e3w3lXkvfc

Great roundtable this week in San Jose with NVIDIA and Palo Alto. What stood out most: the AI conversation has leveled up. Less hype, more real discussion about things like governance, identity for AI agents, and securing non deterministic systems.
