To cite one prediction, Gartner expects that more than 65% of engineering teams will use agentic coding by 2027, treating “integrated development environments as optional, and shifting control, governance and validation to automated platforms.”   “Agents continue to get better, and in sort of a dramatic way with respect to coding,” says Arnal Dayaratna, research vice… Thu, 05 Nov 2026 17:44:08 -0500 Tara E.

The reason is that everyday workloads have ballooned. Spreadsheets carry hundreds of thousands of rows, browsers hold 40 tabs, and more employees are experimenting with local AI tools that can consume enormous amounts of memory.  When a system runs short of RAM, it begins relying on much slower storage as virtual memory. Productivity can fall off a cliff, often while users blame the network or the application.  That was the problem I had in mind when I… Wed, 04 Nov 2026 16:47:56 -0500 Carlos Soto https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/review-kingston-fury-beast-ddr5-gives-business-pcs-more-memory-muscle https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/rethinking-data-center-security-age-ai As artificial intelligence drives greater demand for data center capacity, security teams face a broader range of threats, from physical intrusion to subtle signs of cyberattacks and equipment disruption. Data centers have become a subject of controversy in the AI era, so the stakes are higher than ever when it comes to keeping them secure. A modern approach requires visibility beyond the facility’s walls, combining sensors, analytics and automation to detect and respond to threats before they escalate. Technology Provides Data Center Situational Awareness Technology provides the essential… Wed, 04 Nov 2026 14:25:09 -0500 Joe Morgan https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/rethinking-data-center-security-age-ai https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/agentic-ai-created-new-financial-workforce-human-oversight-required As financial institutions rapidly shift from prompt-based AI assistants to agentic systems that act independently, they face a question few would have anticipated a decade ago: How do you govern a nonhuman workforce?  An empowered AI agent can access sensitive data, interact with applications, initiate workflows and make decisions without step-by-step instructions. Traditional AI governance typically focuses on individual models and may not account for this degree of autonomy.  Financial institutions must manage these systems as a digital workforce, with clear responsibilities,… Wed, 04 Nov 2026 10:16:07 -0500 Matt Sickles https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/agentic-ai-created-new-financial-workforce-human-oversight-required https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/how-smbs-can-sift-through-security-alerts-and-find-what-matters Small businesses often invest heavily in detection tools only to find themselves overwhelmed by thousands of alerts that never receive meaningful investigation. The collection problem is solved: logs and telemetry flowing into a big tool delivers amazing visibility.  But visibility isn’t security.  Every experienced security professional has seen it: The security operations center that collects every possible signal from the network, middleboxes and servers but can’t quickly distill that information down to identify real incidents that need response to prevent actual problems. That… Tue, 03 Nov 2026 16:27:31 -0500 Joel Snyder https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/how-smbs-can-sift-through-security-alerts-and-find-what-matters https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/how-data-tokenization-supports-secure-ai-financial-services Financial services organizations have always needed to protect sensitive data. What has changed is the volume of data they must make available to artificial intelligence.  AI systems need broad access to data to deliver useful results. Agentic AI will increase that demand as agents perform transactions and interact with systems more frequently.  The central challenge is clear: How do we give AI the data it needs without exposing sensitive information?  I start every security discussion with three core requirements: confidentiality, integrity and availability. For AI, I would… Tue, 03 Nov 2026 14:54:17 -0500 Matt Sickles https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/how-data-tokenization-supports-secure-ai-financial-services https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/business-tool-sprawl-how-it-can-reduce-software-complexity As organizations add software to solve specific business problems, their technology environments can become increasingly difficult to manage. Different teams may adopt overlapping applications, employees may gravitate toward tools they prefer, and new technologies can enter the organization faster than older ones are retired. The result is business tool sprawl: an ecosystem in which organizations may be paying for redundant capabilities while employees move among applications that don't necessarily work well together. What should organizations do? They should take a more intentional approach… Mon, 02 Nov 2026 15:11:35 -0500 Bob Keaveney https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/business-tool-sprawl-how-it-can-reduce-software-complexity https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/how-smbs-can-use-data-and-ai-deliver-full-lifecycle-marketing For years, full-lifecycle marketing — the art of nurturing a customer from first awareness through purchase and into long-term brand loyalty — was a playground reserved for enterprises. Big corporations had the massive budgets, dedicated data science teams and complex customer relationship management platforms needed to deliver highly personalized marketing messages to the right person at the best moment.  Meanwhile, small businesses were left playing catch-up. For a small team, the mechanics of marketing — such as crafting unique messaging, designing creative elements, scheduling… Mon, 02 Nov 2026 15:58:21 -0500 Zeus Kerravala https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/11/how-smbs-can-use-data-and-ai-deliver-full-lifecycle-marketing https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/10/cyber-resilience-new-competitive-advantage-small-and-midsize-businesses Small and midsize businesses may have fewer employees and limited budgets, but they don’t face limited cyberthreats. Arctic Wolf’s 2026 AI and Cybersecurity Trends Report shows that significant incidents have become an increasingly common part of doing business. For many organizations, long-term success comes down to how well they’re prepared to respond, adapt and recover when disruption strikes.  If business leaders take away one thing from this year’s report, it should be that significant cyber incidents are no longer rare events. Sixty-three percent of organizations experienced a… Thu, 29 Oct 2026 10:44:46 -0400 Adam Marrè https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/10/cyber-resilience-new-competitive-advantage-small-and-midsize-businesses https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/10/quantum-computing-shifts-business-forward Quantum computing, in which processors use principles of quantum physics to quickly do operations and calculations that are difficult with classic computing, has become more than just scientific theory. Quantum processors are being deployed in research environments, and enterprises are starting to plan use cases for the technology as it matures. Boeing, for instance, has demonstrated its ability to install quantum networking equipment on space-qualified flight hardware. The aeronautics giant has demonstrated that distant devices can establish solid communication using quantum computing.… Wed, 28 Oct 2026 16:30:09 -0400 Joel Keller https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2026/10/quantum-computing-shifts-business-forward
