Becoming AI-native is no longer a path to success — it’s an operational prerequisite

Kelly Knight — Tue, 19 May 2026 22:15:11 +0000

The AI-native enterprise isn’t an ideal anymore. Instead, it has become the new competitive baseline. Dell Technologies Inc. has spent nearly three years interrogating that reality from the inside, using its own operations as a live proving ground, according to Jeff Clarke (pictured), vice chairman and chief operating officer of Dell. That time spent on internal […]

Enterprise AI is ready — Michael Dell says executives need to be, too

Kelly Knight — Tue, 19 May 2026 20:46:59 +0000

AI infrastructure is no longer just about faster computing. It is becoming the foundation for a new enterprise operating model where data comes alive, digital workers reshape workflows and leadership courage determines who keeps up. That inflection point has arrived even as infrastructure investment surrounding AI still seems to be in its opening act. Few companies […]

Before enterprises can run with agentic AI, they need to learn to walk with their data

Kelly Knight — Tue, 19 May 2026 16:54:35 +0000

Multi-agent orchestration is the destination, but for most enterprises, the road is blocked long before the first agent gets deployed by the quality of the data feeding those systems. As organizations accelerate investment in agentic workflows, a persistent gap between AI ambition and operational reality is widening. Legacy systems were built for a world where […]

Agentic success has a prerequisite — building the systems most enterprises left undone

Kelly Knight — Tue, 19 May 2026 12:48:43 +0000

Enterprises racing toward assured autonomy in agentic AI are running headlong into a decades-old problem: Most of their infrastructure was never designed to be connected — let alone governed at the speed AI demands. Only about 30% of the enterprise is truly connected today — a fragmentation driven by accumulated technical debt, siloed IT stacks […]

AI made attackers smarter. Now it’s giving mid-market companies a fighting chance

Kelly Knight — Mon, 18 May 2026 18:26:55 +0000

The rise of intelligent digital workers and autonomous AI agents is compounding an already urgent cybersecurity challenge: attack surfaces expanding faster than security teams can manually assess them. That pressure is exactly why autonomous penetration testing is emerging as a critical discipline. AI-powered attackers are compressing the time from vulnerability discovery to exploitation from months to […]

Domain-specific AI is rewriting the rules of workforce management

Kelly Knight — Mon, 18 May 2026 15:37:11 +0000

The rise of agentic AI is reshaping what enterprise partnerships must deliver — and domain-specific AI is proving to be the real differentiator between systems that advise and systems that act. As AI transforms what it means to integrate enterprise systems, the convergence of human capital management data with intelligent integration platforms is creating a […]

The headless enterprise has arrived: theCUBE’s Boomi World day two keynote analysis

Kelly Knight — Thu, 14 May 2026 19:02:27 +0000

The enterprise is reaching an inflection point as AI agents move from experiment to operational reality, forcing a rethink of how data flows, governance gets built and platforms evolve to serve a headless future. At the center of that rethink is liquid data — the fluid, low-latency movement of governed data between agents across the […]

Untrained AI agents are easy security targets — they don’t know bad people exist, says KnowBe4 CEO

Kelly Knight — Thu, 14 May 2026 18:22:22 +0000

The dual-threat landscape of enterprise AI security is coming into focus. The same autonomous agents transforming workforce productivity are also expanding the attack surface — and most organizations have no governance framework to manage either risk. As a matter of fact, the gap between adoption and governance has become the defining security risk of the current […]
