As IT environments extend beyond traditional network boundaries, identity plays a larger role in protecting enterprise systems.

Strong authentication, carefully managed permissions, least-privilege access, and continuous monitoring can help organizations reduce the risks associated with compromised credentials and unauthorized access. As cloud adoption and remote work expand, securing who can access critical systems and data deserves greater attention.

Learn how a stronger identity security strategy can help protect your IT environment: https://ow.ly/QsTE50ZSH52

Complex infrastructures have made it impossible to secure the environment by defending a single perimeter wall. They must protect their assets by validating the identity of every entity for every access attempt. Learn here.

Traditional perimeter-based security is no longer enough for today’s distributed IT environments.

A Zero Trust approach treats every access request as something that must be verified, helping organizations strengthen identity controls, limit unnecessary access, protect sensitive data, and reduce the potential impact of a breach.

Learn how to build a practical security strategy around Zero Trust principles and make security an ongoing part of your IT operations: https://ow.ly/RqRg50ZSgM9

The central idea of the Zero Trust model is that no user, device, or system should be trusted by default, even when it is already inside the network perimeter. Learn here.

More technology does not always mean better IT.

As organizations add new platforms and applications, tool sprawl can increase costs, create security gaps, fragment data, and make everyday work more complicated. Taking a closer look at your technology environment can uncover opportunities to consolidate tools, reduce unnecessary expenses, and simplify management.

AI agents are expanding what automation can accomplish, but they are not the right choice for every task.

Traditional automation offers speed, predictability, and consistency for rule-based processes, while AI agents can reason through unfamiliar situations, work with unstructured data, and adjust their approach as conditions change. For IT leaders, choosing between them requires careful consideration of cost, governance, flexibility, and operational needs.

Learn where each approach fits and why combining the two may offer the greatest value: https://ow.ly/BoQX50ZMAtt

25 years ago, our nation experienced a day we will never forget.

Today, we pause to remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and to honor the first responders, service members, and ordinary Americans who demonstrated extraordinary courage.

We remember. We honor. 🇺🇸

The next evolution of AI isn’t just smarter—it’s more autonomous.

Autonomous AI agents are changing what’s possible in the enterprise. Rather than simply generating responses, these systems can reason, plan, execute tasks, adapt to outcomes, and work across business systems—with less human intervention.

But greater autonomy also brings new considerations around security, governance, data access, accountability, and oversight.

VAST helps organizations build the cloud, security, and technology foundation needed to explore AI strategically—while keeping governance and risk in focus.

Your backup is only as strong as the security protecting it.

As cyber threats evolve, attackers are increasingly targeting recovery data itself—and compromised identities and AI-driven threats are raising the stakes even further.

A recent article from Druva Inc explores why organizations need to rethink what they expect from a modern backup provider, including zero-trust controls, immutability, air-gapped protection, and safeguards against unauthorized actions.

At VAST, we help organizations strengthen their backup and recovery strategy with managed, secure cloud backup powered by Druva—so your data is protected and ready when you need it most.

AI can add real value to your IT environment, but adding another AI tool without a clear plan can introduce new costs, security concerns, data risks, and governance challenges.

Before moving forward, CIOs should consider the business problem they are solving, the quality of the data involved, how the technology will be governed, and whether buying, integrating, or building is the right approach.
