Deterministic Simulation Testing in Diskless Apache Kafka

Mar 5, 2026 By Ivan Yurchenko In Aiven
Aiven put Diskless Kafka through 2,200 logical hours of chaos testing using Antithesis. Here's how it held up. Testing is a necessary pillar in any software development lifecycle. At the same time, it's a fundamentally incomplete process - a cat-and-mouse game. You can't test what you can't imagine and distributed systems have a nasty habit of producing failures that no one on the team imagined.

Transform or Fade: What 2026's Booming Digital Economy is Teaching Us

Mar 5, 2026 By iOPEX Technologies , In iOPEX
That is the defining business tension of 2026. A vanguard of roughly 12% of global enterprises, per PwC's 29th Global CEO Survey of 4,454 chief executives, has managed to deliver both revenue growth and cost reductions from AI simultaneously. These organizations are not just ahead. They are structurally pulling away. For everyone else, the 56% of CEOs who report no significant financial benefit from AI despite sustained investment, the clock is compounding against them.

What Is LLMjacking? The New AI Cybercrime Stealing Cloud AI Compute

Mar 5, 2026 By Sysdig In Sysdig
LLMjacking is a new cybercrime where attackers steal access to cloud-hosted AI models and use them for free — while the victim pays the bill. In this video, we break down what LLMjacking is, how attackers exploit compromised credentials and exposed APIs, and why security teams should treat AI infrastructure as a high-value attack target. Discovered by the Sysdig Threat Research Team, LLMjacking is quickly becoming the AI-era equivalent of cryptojacking — except instead of mining cryptocurrency, attackers run expensive large language models (LLMs) at scale.

AI-ready sovereignty playbook 2026: how to run gen-AI workloads (ethically) in the EU

Mar 5, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Sovereignty is a concept that can have shown nuances in the way it is currently used by states and industry to describe some services. The term “strategic autonomy” has also been used, as to describe the need for governments to ensure that they have a hand on the full value chain (or at least know the gaps and accept the risks) and can apply their rules while it seats in its jurisdiction (autonomy derives from the greek autos (self) nomos (rule).

From Reactive to Predictive: Preserving BESS Uptime at Scale

Mar 5, 2026 By Allyson Boate In InfluxData
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) operate as revenue-generating grid assets that capture surplus electricity, deploy power during demand spikes, and support frequency control. By shifting energy across time, they stabilize grid conditions, enable renewable integration, and execute market dispatch commitments. When systems respond as designed, stored capacity becomes a flexible, monetizable supply. But BESS performance depends on precision and availability.

Who Owns Endpoint Management? Defining Security and IT Governance

Mar 5, 2026 By Aruna Kureti In Ivanti
Endpoint management is one of the most critical — and most contested — areas of enterprise governance. Every organization depends on endpoints, yet many still struggle to answer a fundamental question: who actually owns these devices? In many environments, IT and security teams are both confident they’re doing the right thing, yet still talk past each other. Security looks at a scanner and sees 10,000 critical vulnerabilities; IT looks at a patch report and sees everything deployed.
