Not every AI tool has staying power, and the ones that last are the ones that fit your organization’s strategy. AI is following the same arc as the cloud push and the dot-com era: a massive boom, then a contraction. Before you invest, ask what will actually make a difference in your org, and build from there. Watch the full IT Leadership Lab session — linked above.

Your data sits in the UK. But who has the final say over it? As AI raises the stakes on where data lives and who controls it, digital sovereignty has moved from policy debate to boardroom priority. At Civo Navigate London, Lord Paul Drayson, Simon Hansford, Richard Woodfield of DataVita, Dan Chester of VAST Data and Ed Barker of Havishams explore what sovereignty really means for governments, businesses and the infrastructure behind them, and what it will take for the UK to adopt AI without giving up control.

Citrix was facing a major security crisis before its official warning even went out. Companies were already pulling critical network devices offline as attackers exploited serious vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway systems. In this ShipTalk clip, Adam, Martin, and Starr break down the Citrix zero-day vulnerabilities, the race to respond, and the impossible decision facing security teams: keep potentially compromised infrastructure running or rush to deploy a patch.

In this episode of NinjaOne01, Jeff Hunter, Field CTO at NinjaOne, walks through NinjaOne’s new SIEM Exporter App. The app is a dedicated place to set up and monitor the webhooks that send NinjaOne activity data to your third-party SIEM (Security Information & Event Management) system. Note: this is an early access feature, so contact your account manager to have it enabled for your account. What this video covers.

Your AI agent can read every log, metric and trace in seconds. It still can't tell you why things broke. At Civo Navigate London, James Herbert of groundcover explains why AI SRE agents need that context to travel the whole development lifecycle. He shows how agents embedded in the tools where software is built and run can move from isolated tasks to investigating and acting with the full picture.

What if AI could find a security vulnerability, determine whether it actually matters, write the fix, validate it, and open a pull request for review? In this demo, see how Harness Security Testing Agents work together to move from vulnerability detection to a verified fix with an audit trail along the way. The system uses three agents: Harness can analyze where vulnerabilities exist in your environment, determine whether they’re actually reachable, prioritize what needs to be fixed, and automatically create remediation pull requests.

We use Sentry's new Regex search for Logs to hunt for non-obvious bugs in our app. What do you do when traces show that Postgres jobs are backing up? Logs are trace-connected, so by looking at one of the affected traces, we can see all of the logs on that trace. In there, we can see Postgres has logged that it acquired a lock only after a long wait. Using regex, we can find all of these logs that describe acquiring a lock after a 10-second-plus wait. That narrows our search from thousands or hundreds of logs down to about a dozen.

Join Serge for an introduction to tracing and how it applies to AI agents. Through live walkthroughs, you’ll see how to follow an agent’s execution, inspect model and tool calls, and find where things went wrong. No prior tracing experience is needed.

We turned the mic around for this episode, with Zoe Hawkins interviewing Adam White and Jake Lee about Sumo Logic’s redesigned free trial. The new 14-day sandbox comes preloaded with realistic data feeds, Cloud SIEM, and our AI agents, so no one has to build collectors or open tickets before finding out whether the platform fits. Adam and Jake walk through the guided “choose your own adventure” paths, the broad, open-ended questions that bring out the best in Mobot, and how the trial will keep pace with new releases.

Why did we do this? Not important: jump to 1:31 to see the Pis. TL;DR: We stuck Minecraft on kubernetes running on 4 Raspberry Pis in a 3D-Printed case, and monitored it with open source observability. Huge thanks to Percona DBA Ivan Zaitsev for putting the demo together for Percona University, Montevideo. Coroot automatically collects and visualizes all your telemetry data: logs, metrics, traces, profiles, and a complete map of your services. With the complete context of eBPF, it can diagnose the exact cause of an incident in seconds, and show you the exact commands to fix it.
