Resolve Webinar: A Deep Dive into Scaling Autonomous Operations with Agentic AI

Enterprise IT teams are under growing pressure from complex, cross-functional workflows, rising alert noise, and overloaded ticket queues. Traditional ITSM automation, built on scripts, intents, and manual orchestration, can’t keep up. In this webinar replay, Resolve leaders break down how forward-thinking enterprises are scaling autonomous operations with agentic AI, delivering 2–5x faster resolutions and achieving 70%+ L1 deflection, without brittle scripts or intent models.

Resolve's Agents of IT podcast - Ep. 8 - Sean and Ari's Hot Takes #4

Everyone’s talking about generative AI. Few are doing it right. In this episode of Agents of IT, we break down what actually matters when bringing agentic AI into the enterprise. We challenge the myth of “AI readiness,” unpack the real build vs. buy decision, and explain why companies should stop building platforms and start building domain intelligence.

Breaking things fast: A new Approach to QA and testing

This post is based on Greg Qualls, Director of Product Marketing, presentation, "Accelerating QA and Testing," at SymfonyCon 2024. We utilized AI tools for transcription and to enhance the structure and clarity of the content. Before we dive in, I have over 18 years of experience in sales.

How to Protect a Server from DDoS Attacks: 10 Practical Ways That Actually Work

DDoS attacks are no longer exotic weapons used only against banks, governments, or global tech giants. Today, a small online store, a SaaS startup, or even a personal blog running on a VPS can become a target. The barrier to launching an attack has dropped dramatically, while the damage such attacks can cause has only grown. Any server connected to the internet is exposed by default - the only real question is how prepared it is.

From Downtime to Stability: The Role of Managed IT in Modern Operations

Operational downtime has become one of the most expensive risks modern organizations face. A single system failure can halt workflows, expose security gaps, and drain revenue within hours. And as businesses in Long Beach & beyond grow more dependent on digital systems, the margin for IT failure keeps shrinking. Yet many operations teams still rely on reactive IT models, fixing issues only after they cause disruption.

Why Release Control Takes Weeks

The industry standard for release control is painfully manual: long-form policy documents, ServiceNow forms, human approvals, meetings, and tickets that take days or even weeks to close. In this video, Mike Long (CEO & Co-founder, Kosli) explains the difference between manual release control and an automated, zero-trust model where evidence is collected automatically, provenance identifies the artifact, and approvals can be fully codified.

Harness Database DevOps Now Supports Google AlloyDB

Harness Database DevOps now natively supports Google AlloyDB, enabling enterprises to manage PostgreSQL-compatible schema changes with CI/CD, GitOps, and policy-driven governance. Teams gain faster, safer, and fully auditable database delivery while reducing operational risk and manual overhead across environments. As organizations double down on cloud modernization, Google Cloud’s AlloyDB for PostgreSQL is quickly becoming the preferred engine for mission-critical applications.

Evidence as an Input

Evidence isn’t something you produce at the end — it’s something every control generates for the next one. In this video, Mike Long (CEO & Co-founder, Kosli) explains how vulnerability scans produce evidence tied to the artifact fingerprint and the policy file used, and how that evidence becomes an input to downstream controls like release approvals. This is the core of reusable, continuous compliance.
