Only 1 in 4 Employees Follow AI Policy: How to Fix It

AI is more than just a tool—it's a transformative experience for the modern workforce. But as employees "run fast" to adopt AI, a critical gap is forming between innovation and safety. In this video, Brooke Johnson, Ivanti’s Chief Legal Counsel and SVP of People and Security, discusses the "natural tension" between AI excitement and the necessity for responsible, secure implementation. With only 25% of employees reporting consistent policy adherence, the risk of "Shadow AI"—unsupervised tool use—has never been higher.

The New AI Mandate: Smarter Usage, Lower AI Compliance Risk, Better Outcomes

For the last two years, enterprise AI strategy has largely revolved around one message: use AI as much as possible. CIOs encouraged experimentation, CFOs approved budgets, and organizations pushed employees to adopt tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini in the hope that productivity gains would naturally follow. The prevailing assumption was that simply increasing usage would accelerate innovation and unlock efficiency across the organization. But the enterprise conversation is changing quickly.

10 Best IT Operations Management Tools (ITOM) Compared for 2026

No IT team sets out to run ten monitoring tools. It happens one purchase at a time. You add a network monitor after one outage, a server monitoring tool after the next, then a log analyzer, then an APM product when the app team gets tired of guessing. Then something breaks, and every one of those tools has an opinion. Each fires its own alerts. None of them agrees on the cause, and the first hour of the incident goes to deciding which screen to believe.

9 Best Log File Analysis Tools for IT and DevOps Teams

An incident is open and the evidence is scattered. The application logs point to a connection timeout; the load balancer shows nothing unusual, and the container that produced the original error was replaced eighteen minutes ago.

That is the moment most teams start shopping for a log file analysis platform.

How Collective IQ Turns Reactive IT into Truly Proactive IT

Most IT organizations still operate in "firefighting" mode: an employee opens a ticket, the service desk investigates, depending on severity and complexity multiple teams or people are involved to diagnose, and then the appropriate person or team fixes the issue. The whole process then repeats for the next reported incident. This model doesn't scale, drains time and budget, and leaves a huge number of issues unresolved because many employees simply don't bother to report them. And, if and when they do report them, it's too late, the problem has already impacted their productive work.

How to Choose the Right Infrastructure Monitoring Tool

A production service degrades, and one question decides the next hour: is it the server, the network, or a cloud dependency? Each layer usually reports into a separate console, so pinning down the answer can absorb an hour the business would rather not lose. The right infrastructure monitoring tool is what turns that hour into minutes. On paper, most monitoring platforms look identical. Each one promises full-stack visibility and shows a polished dashboard.
