Asana launched Dash, an AI assistant that monitors work across Asana, email, calendars, and messaging apps to flag project risks and recommend next steps. Dash can also coordinate Asana's AI teammates and trigger approved workflows, with user approval required before it makes changes.

Meta shares gained after unveiling “subscription AI agents” aimed at business customers. Meta Business Agent is a potential new revenue stream beyond advertising, indicating Meta's push to monetize AI tools for enterprises.

Broadcom is positioning VMware Cloud Foundation as the private-cloud base for production AI workloads. The pitch: enterprises moving beyond AI pilots want better control over cost, data, compliance, security, and recovery than public cloud alone may offer.

DNS works well for public, human-facing services, but using it for internal IT infrastructure can reduce reliability and increase operational and security risk. DNS can become part of the critical path during incidents, while internal DNS caching and TTL behavior can complicate recovery. DNS also introduces security concerns, such as spoofing and DNSSEC complexity, and creates an exfiltration vector through attacker-controlled domains using tools like dnscat2 and iodine.

Your business teams ship apps with AI. IT configures the guardrails once. Every app inherits them. Audit logs, RBAC, SSO, Cloud-Prem deployment, and the Superblocks MCP make every AI-built app a queryable system of record. Policy agents block non-compliant builds before production. See why SOFI, NHS, and Virgin choose Superblocks →

CrowdStrike announced that it is bringing enterprise-grade security to the AI factory by integrating its protection capabilities with NVIDIA's Vera BlueField-4 STX smart NIC platform. The announcement positions the solution as enabling security controls closer to where AI workloads and data are processed, improving protection for modern enterprise AI environments.

Anthropic is launching a “Services Track” and a “Partner Hub” to help integrate Claude more deeply into enterprise workflows. The moves formalize a $100 million program as Anthropic positions itself toward an IPO, aiming to expand its partner and services ecosystem for business customers.

Ace Hardware replaced an aging, email-driven IT ticketing process with Jira Service Management to modernize IT service management at scale. Jira Service Management was integrated with multiple systems so incidents, requests, approvals, releases, assets, and job failures could be tracked and automated across the enterprise.

Google released tools that let developers run Gemma 4 12B agentic AI workflows locally on laptops. The move could help with privacy, latency, offline use, and cloud cost control, but enterprises still need to solve endpoint hardware, security, sandboxing, logging, and governance challenges.

Red Hat argues that AI-driven vulnerability discovery is making scheduled patching too slow and IT teams need event-driven automation that can contain risks quickly, while still leaving room for testing, approvals, and permanent fixes.

CompTIA launched AutoOps+, a vendor-neutral certification for IT pros working with automation, scripting, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, observability, and modern IT operations.

The products target high-density environments for cloud, edge, enterprise data centers, AI, and Telco Mobile Core use cases, offering up to 200GbE bandwidth with a range of port options.
