YOU DESERVE BETTER CI

Enough with least worst pipelines. No more band-aids. Why trust a black box or something unproven to handle scale. Buildkite hands you the building blocks for CI orchestration. Composable primitives you assemble into exactly the pipeline your org needs, running only what changes, programmable across any cloud, any chip, your secrets, your infra. Control without compromise. Design it your way and achieve speeds that compound as volume grows. Reliable and secure. There's a reason Cursor, OpenAI, Anthropic and Nvidia all build on Buildkite. You deserve better CI.

NEW SANS REPORT: AI USE IN SECURITY JUMPED FROM 50% TO 78% YOY. ATTACKERS KEPT PACE

Security teams are adapting AI at unprecedented pace, but attackers are not lagging behind: 78% of orgs saw AI-enabled attacks, and 95% of leaders believe adversaries are already using AI. The 2026 SANS AI Survey Insights report [5] breaks down where AI is paying off, where it's lulling teams into a false sense of security, and why "formal AI governance" often means less than leaders think. For a deep dive into the survey results, [6]catch the related webcast [6] [6]with Dave Shackleford, founder of Voodoo Security. Browse more SANS AI resources [7] for ways to build, break, and defend AI in production.

AI-powered cybercrime is no longer just a future risk. ThreatDown's [5]new research found it's already here, hiding in plain sight on infrastructure organizations already trust. ThreatDown [6] researchers assess that AI capable of exploiting vulnerabilities at scale could reach criminal marketplaces within roughly six months. Read the _Cybercrime in the age of AI_ [7] report to see what they found. Want to learn more? Join ThreatDown researchers for a look at how AI is reshaping the threat landscape, including: * The techniques criminals use to exploit shadow AI. * What the rise in offline, "guardrail-free" AI models means for cybersecurity. * Why you have six months to prepare for criminals with Mythos-class AI.

CLAUDE DOESN'T KNOW THE CONTEXT THAT'S INSIDE YOUR HEAD

AI productivity gains depend on everything being neatly documented in markdown files. That's not how most businesses operate. Crucial context is scattered in notes, conversations, and undocumented processes. Agents burn a bunch of tokens guessing this information - from scratch, every time. Computer, by DevRev [5] fixes that with one shared memory your whole team works from. What anyone learns, everyone can use, instantly.
