We’ve spent a lot of time talking about #AI adoption. Jeetu Patel thinks the next challenge is delegation. It's only appropriate that on #InternationalPodcastDay, we featured Cisco's President and Chief Product Officer, Jeetu Patel. Jeetu joins the AI Proving Ground Podcast to talk about what changes when AI agents start doing more of the work, and why managing them may soon become a skill we all need. As agents take on more responsibility, the question shifts from what AI can do to what we should trust it to do. Jeetu makes the case for giving agents room to work while being much more deliberate about the boundaries around them. His challenge is a good one: use AI to stretch your thinking, not replace it. 🎧 Watch the full conversation: http://ms.spr.ly/6044aYWGn #AIAgents #AgenticAI #EnterpriseAI

Most ransomware victims think they're prepared. Then the attack hits, and the plan they built for downtime doesn't match the problem they're actually facing. 82% of intrusions detected last year involved no malware at all, just stolen credentials and an organization's own admin tools. There's no file for a scan to catch. Disaster recovery restores the newest backup. In modern attacks, that backup is often the most infected. VMware Advanced Cyber Compliance, built on VMware Cloud Foundation, replaces the guesswork. It flags likely infection points before anything powers on, isolates every restore point candidate in a built-in clean room, and runs behavioral analysis to catch threats that never leave a file behind. What used to take five vendors stitched together now runs as one workflow. We tested it inside our Advanced Technology Center, at production scale, before it ever reached a customer's real recovery plan. Read the full breakdown: http://ms.spr.ly/6041ago8t

WWT CTO Mike Taylor joins AI Proving Ground Podcast to unpack what that means for model evaluation, cost, control and the growing complexity of choosing what belongs in the enterprise AI stack. Because keeping up with AI isn’t just about moving faster. It’s knowing what deserves to move with you. Watch now: http://ms.spr.ly/6048a9veC

WWT is heading to #NetAppINSIGHT 2026 in Las Vegas next week with two sessions on Tuesday, Sept. 29. → Turning Enterprise Data Into an AI-Ready Asset with NetApp AIDE and AFX 🕚 11:00 AM PDT | Chairman's 356 Enterprise AI stalls when data is scattered, ungoverned and hard to trust. WWT's Ryan Avery and Hyung Kim will show how NetApp AI Data Engine catalogs your data estate, applies governance and guardrails and turns data into ready-to-use assets for GenAI and RAG applications without migrating it off NetApp storage. → WWT and NetApp: Your Last Clean Copy for Security and Cyber Resilience 🕝 2:30 PM PDT | Innovation Theater Ransomware crews aren't just encrypting data anymore. They're going after backups, snapshots and the credentials that control both. WWT's Doug Wong and Mark Mesko, Manager of System Administration for Storage at Mercy, will break down which NetApp data-layer defenses actually block these attacks, what Mercy deployed in production and who should own these controls: storage or security. Add both to your schedule with the links in the comments. See you in Vegas!
