Dealing With Servers, Spooler Crashes, and Security Risks?

Ditch print servers and replace them with PrinterLogic, a cloud-native solution that protects every print job from File>Print to secure release.

• Centralize all your print management in one platform for full visibility and control.
• Stay compliant with a solution that is FedRAMP® High Authorized, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 42001:2023 Certified.
• Modernize your print environment in a Zero Trust architecture.

Switch to serverless, secure printing

A CISA contractor reportedly exposed highly sensitive government AWS keys and internal software documentation in a public GitHub repository. CISA says there is no evidence of misuse so far. The incident shows how basic secrets management failures can create serious exposure even inside security-focused organizations.

GitHub confirmed attackers stole data from around 3,800 internal code repositories after a compromised employee device was infected through a malicious VS Code extension. The company says it has no evidence that customer repositories, organizations, or enterprise data were impacted, but the incident is another reminder that developer tooling is now a major supply-chain attack surface.

At Dell Technologies World, Dell and Nvidia framed agentic AI as the next practical phase of enterprise adoption, especially across software development, QA, DevOps, and CI/CD. High inference and token usage are making hybrid and on-prem AI infrastructure more attractive for enterprises that do not want every workflow running in the cloud.

SAP is positioning its AI stack as the required pathway between third-party agents and SAP data, giving it more control over how enterprise AI interacts with ERP workflows. The next AI battle may be less about models and more about who owns the control plane between agents and business systems.

Better models alone do not guarantee better business outcomes. Without deep operational context, AI outputs remain educated guesses that can overlook critical dependencies and disrupt workflows. Real productivity gains require connecting intelligence directly to core transactional systems where human leaders set goals and AI drives precise execution.

1Password is integrating with OpenAI Codex to give AI coding agents just-in-time access to credentials without exposing secrets in prompts, repos, or local files. It's an early sign that securing AI agents may look a lot more like identity governance than traditional app security.

Predict is a new capability that tests proposed network changes against a digital twin before they hit production, flagging outages, security issues, and policy conflicts in advance. It's essentially bringing software-style pre-deployment testing into network operations, which could be a big deal for AI-driven infrastructure automation.

AI may accelerate software development, but CIOs still own the governance, process design, security, and operating model needed to turn AI output into something enterprises can safely run. It's a useful reminder that AI productivity gains do not replace IT operating discipline.

IrisGo, backed by Andrew Ng, is building a proactive desktop assistant that can anticipate user needs instead of waiting for direct prompts. It is more consumer/productivity-flavored than pure IT, but it reflects the broader shift from chatbots to always-on agents embedded into daily workflows.

Hackers compromised dozens of popular open-source packages in an ongoing software supply-chain attack.

Microsoft Build 2026 will run June 2–3 in San Francisco with a focus on production-ready AI agents and Microsoft's developer stack.
