I’ve talked to loads of orgs who renew Darktrace each year, knowing nobody uses it, as the CISO has too much political capital to lose by admitting they purchased a turkey.

Microsoft IT had a load of products they renew which they didn’t use either. Nexthink was one. 🤷‍♀️

If you are depressed about your company buying Microsoft 365 Copilot (the one for Office - I know they have multiple products with the same product name) or Security Copilot, don’t be.

Companies are very good at buying Microsoft products and then never deploying them properly, and/or renewing them without using them.

Enterprise IT is basically a yearly cycle of “do we need to renew this PO?” followed by “I dunno if anybody uses it but just renew it in case they do or politics”.

Despite breathless headlines warning of a robot takeover in the workforce, a new research briefing from Oxford Economics casts doubt on the narrative that artificial intelligence is currently causing mass unemployment.

According to the firm’s analysis, “firms don’t appear to be replacing workers with AI on a significant scale,” suggesting instead that companies may be using the technology as a cover for routine headcount reductions. https://fortune.com/2026/01/07/ai-layoffs-convenient-corporate-fiction-true-false-oxford-economics-productivity/

With all the things going on right now, I'm very very curious about whether #defcon will continue to have as close and cozy a relationship with DHS and the US Military as they have had in the last few years.
