Most organizations now have AI agents running in production - handling support tickets, pulling financial reports, accessing enterprise systems. Most of them were stood up without IT's involvement. Most have no owner. Most have no off switch. New research from JumpCloud surveyed 800 IT leaders on how they're governing their agentic workforce. The finding that stands out: organizations have implemented just 3.1 of 10 recommended AI governance controls on average - even as non-human identities now outnumber humans in 83% of environments. The gap between AI adoption and AI governance is the defining IT challenge of the next decade.
A federal judge approved HPE's settlement with the Justice Department, clearing the final legal challenge to its $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks.

Cisco reported record quarterly revenue of $17.3 billion as networking product orders jumped 40% year over year, with campus orders up 20% and data center networking orders rising 25% for the year. Cisco says only about 7% of its campus switching installed base has been refreshed so far, suggesting the broader enterprise upgrade cycle is still early.
Researchers identified a new campaign targeting data stored in Salesforce and ServiceNow environments through their UI/API layers rather than traditional infrastructure exploits. The attackers have also been probing a little-documented native ServiceNow Service Portal search endpoint, highlighting the growing risk around authenticated SaaS access and APIs.
The additional spectrum available at 6 GHz can effectively triple wireless capacity compared with legacy bands while moving modern devices away from congested 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels. Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 upgrades should now be treated as infrastructure modernization rather than simply another wireless refresh.
Reducing the number of technology vendors can simplify operations and create short-term savings, but it can also destroy negotiating leverage once switching becomes expensive. IT teams should keep at least one credible alternative warm in major categories so vendors know the customer can realistically walk away at renewal.
Memory shortages are pushing hardware prices higher across Apple, Dell, Lenovo, HP and other manufacturers, creating a new challenge for IT procurement and device lifecycle planning. With DRAM supply expected to remain constrained, enterprises may need to revisit refresh schedules, purchasing commitments and hardware budgets.

On August 19 [4], join Tines to hear from HEADSPACE'S Director of AI Enablement for an exclusive look at how Headspace enables everyone to build securely with AI [5] at scale: > HOW HEADSPACE GOVERNS WILD CODE AT SCALE: gaining visibility into tools built outside IT's radar. > GIVING TEAMS THE FREEDOM TO BUILD WITHOUT OPERATIONAL RISK: adding governance and control, without slowing innovation. > MONITORING AI-BUILT WORKFLOWS IN PRACTICE: understanding what's running, how it's performing, and where it's spending.
There is an ongoing campaign targeting guest-accessible Salesforce Experience Cloud sites and ServiceNow Service Portals from infrastructure linked to the IP address 158.220.87[.]79. The actor uses Salesforce Aura and previously undocumented Salesforce LWR UI-API techniques, plus a ServiceNow search endpoint, to extract records.
Two-thirds of surveyed enterprises now run AI workloads in production, but many still lack visibility into infrastructure costs and utilization. The gap is becoming more important as inference becomes a continuous operational expense.
Cloudera found nearly every surveyed organization delayed or canceled AI projects over the past year, with governance and compliance among the biggest blockers. Nearly three-quarters said AI has made data governance more complex.
Salesforce's AI strategy will transform CRM into “agentic revenue orchestration,” with agents handling prospecting, research, pipeline management, and quoting. Its vision of a “headless CRM” surfaced through tools such as Slack and ChatGPT, while claiming that AI will augment rather than replace sellers and push pricing toward consumption and outcomes.
The future cloud growth of Microsoft, Google, and Amazon is increasingly dependent on Anthropic and OpenAI sustaining enormous, largely venture-funded compute spending. The two AI companies may need to spend more than $200 billion on compute in 2027 and raise roughly $250 billion to $300 billion to finance it, creating substantial risk if end-customer returns fail to materialize.
A survey of 101 enterprises found bad context behind many confidently incorrect agent answers. Organizations using governed semantic layers were substantially better at detecting those failures.
