    Infrastructure modernization starts with trusted data. We’re partnering with NetBox Labs, embedding their platform into AHEAD Hatch®, AHEAD Foundry™, and our network automation offerings to create a consistent infrastructure data model across network, OT, AI, cloud, and distributed environments.    This means less manual reconciliation, more repeatable automation, and infrastructure data visibility our clients can trust.    Read the press release below to learn more: ⤵️

    CNAPP gives teams a clear view into their #cloud environments, but visibility alone rarely changes risk. Dashboards fill up fast, findings accumulate, and conversations start, yet progress stalls when teams struggle to decide what matters most and who owns the work. Our latest whitepaper breaks down why that gap persists + what high‑performing teams do differently. Learn about the operating habits that turn #CNAPP insights into real, measurable improvement instead of ongoing review cycles: https://bit.ly/4v1kcV5

    At AHEAD, we see agent security as an architecture problem, not a prompt-engineering one, and the OWASP Agentic Top 10 gives teams a framework to treat it that way.   From goal hijack to memory and context poisoning, the risks are new, but the principles are familiar: deterministic code-level controls, least-privilege access, and defense-in-depth. I break that down in a new blog I published for AHEAD: https://lnkd.in/g59Pfaf7

    As part of MWA's celebration of Women's History Month, I had the honor of moderating a panel at #AHEAD with some of my amazing colleagues. We discussed Inclusive Innovation: Shaping a Future That Reflects Every Voice and our guests included AHEADians, students, ambassadors, leaders, and board members of the Young Women's Leadership Society 💜 It was an amazing night full of community, nuggets of wisdom, and even a few laughs. Teaming up with Tiara W. to bring this vision to life has been a highlight of my year! Thank you to Alexandria Klote, Rikki C., Maribel Benitez, MBA, and Chithra Rao for spending the evening with us and sharing all your career journeys and insights. And a bonus thank you to Nicholas Rodriguez, CDP for your unending support and enthusiasm. Cannot wait to see what this next generation of leaders will do next and excited to witness it! #WomensHistoryMonth #MovingWomenAHEAD #YWLS

    Many IT teams have invested in #observability and service management tools, yet alerts still overwhelm responders, incidents drag on, and ownership is often unclear when something breaks. Our article looks at how Dynatrace + ServiceNow help close the gap between signals and accountable action using ML, GenAI, and policy-driven #automation to cut noise, speed understanding, route work to the right owners, and apply automation safely while keeping humans accountable. If you want to reduce cognitive load, accelerate recovery, and strengthen operational reliability, explore AHEAD's a practical approach to intelligent ops: https://bit.ly/3NxjWw5 #AHEADIntelligentOps #ITSM

    AHEAD is the “factory behind AI factories” 🤖 Join #theCUBE x NYSE Wired’s Gemma Allen at #NvidiaGTCAI, as she speaks with Joshua Perkins, VP of Emerging Technologies at AHEAD, about how the company helps organizations on their journey to becoming AI native. “We think that the AI factory metaphor is sound, and that the idea of data in and tokens out is really critical. It kind of falls short because it still needs to be built. It still needs to be integrated in a way that it's actually consumable for our enterprise clients. That is both on the physical integration end, but equally importantly on the logical end. So, it's okay that we're putting all of the pieces together and building them in an appropriate way,” Perkins shares. “But how do we actually make the developer capable of using that? How do we secure it? How do we operationalize that platform? So, it's not just about the tokens, it's about the consumability and composability of that whole piece. When we say the factory behind the factory, we actually mean physical sites. Our Foundry ecosystem does this at large scale for our enterprise customers globally, but we also help them all along the path of becoming an AI native organization,” he adds. 💡 Get more insights! https://lnkd.in/dxxUHX6T #AIFactories #AI #AINative #EnterpriseAI

    Proud moment for AHEAD during #WomensHistoryMonth. Congratulations to our very own Shannon Eldridge-Kuehn on being honored among Harness's Top Women in Software! Her perspective says it best: “Women’s History Month reminds me that there isn’t one ‘correct’ path into technology. Curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to learn matter more than where you start. My advice to women building careers in software is simple: keep showing up and keep building.” Shannon’s leadership, impact, and commitment to growth reflect what #MovingWomenAHEAD looks like in practice. 💐

    Infrastructure planning used to be predictable, with consistent refresh cycles, vendor roadmaps, and annual pricing. That world no longer exists. Availability, timing, and component access now shape every decision across GPUs, memory, storage, and networking. Lead times move in quarters. Pricing shifts fast. Flexibility is the difference between delivering and falling behind. In this article, AHEAD Chief Client Officer Tim Frank explains what's driving today’s #supplychain volatility + how enterprise leaders are redesigning #infrastructure plans to protect business outcomes: ⤵️ https://bit.ly/4t45kTN
