When companies connect a partner or supplier to their IT ecosystem, a CIO or CISO may need to juggle permissions, security, and orchestration.

What litmus tests do CTOs, CIOs and other tech leaders use to assess results from modernization...

How tech leadership responds to mass outages can affect internal teams, as well as customer-facing operations. Reliance on third-party hyperscalers can also mean C-suite tech leadership getting caught flatfooted when outages take down online resources. In late October, AWS and Microsoft Azure went dark temporarily, reminding many companies that they can be at the digital mercy of service providers...

What happens when companies have new releases on deck, and it is clear that the dev team is spread too thin? Teams are always under pressure to deliver, but what if a project calls for overtime across the organization? What happens if those teams are pulled in competing directions? When major projects are at stake, development teams may face a less-than-ideal circumstance: a race to meet deadlines...

Many organizations have at least explored the use of AI in coding, changing the game for professional developers and citizen developers alike.

Building up an AI-enhanced workforce calls for more than telling staffers to use new tools and then hope for the best.

In this episode of the InformationWeek podcast, Michael Fanning, CISO for Splunk; and Andie Dovgan, chief growth officer with Creat...

Laura Sellers tackles a series of scenarios, discussing how tech and operations can navigate surprises both may face.
