This blog’s purpose

Software Strategies Blog tracks the collision of agentic AI and enterprise cybersecurity. Machine identities already outnumber humans 82 to 1 in the enterprise, according to CyberArk data, and the security stack most companies run was never built to govern them. The posts here keep score on both sides of that fight, always from primary sources.

Three commitments shape every post.

Market data verified against primary sources. Gartner security forecasts, Forrester budget guides, Crunchbase funding data, and vendor threat reports get read in full before a single number appears here. Every chart links back to the document it came from.
Analysis of how agentic AI is rewriting enterprise security. Machine identity, AI agent governance, prompt injection, model supply chains, and the gap between what enterprises spend on AI and what they spend securing it are the core beats.
Dehyping vendor claims with evidence. Security marketing runs hot. The test here is simple. Show the incident, the benchmark, or the customer data, or the claim does not stand.

I cover agentic AI security as a Senior Contributor at VentureBeat, where my beat spans machine identity, AI supply chain attacks, and how enterprises govern autonomous agents in production. My published columns are indexed on the VentureBeat columns page and on my VentureBeat author page.

This blog draws on 3,155+ published articles across Forbes, VentureBeat, and other outlets over more than two decades of covering enterprise software.
