His conversation with Doug also follows the economic logic of mass AI adoption to its quietly terrifying conclusion, where companies eliminate every job, slash every cost, and discover too late that the people they fired were also their customers.<\/p>\n Watch Here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n For years, the foundational truth in cybersecurity has been simple to state and nearly impossible to act on: you cannot protect what you do not know exists. Every mature security program acknowledges this, although almost none have fully solved it. Asset management, the discipline of cataloging and governing every device, identity, configuration, and data flow in an enterprise environment, has been perpetually underfunded, underestimated, and under-executed, and AI is about to make that gap significantly wider.<\/p>\nFor early access to all the expert insights published on Solutions Review, join Insight Jam<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, a community dedicated to enabling the human conversation on AI.<\/div><\/p>\nEndpoint Security and Network Monitoring News for the Week of May 1st<\/strong><\/h2>\n
