The Boardroom Reckoning on AI: Why AI Demands a New Kind of Leadership
AI is forcing a new leadership challenge inside the enterprise, in which boards are expected to oversee a fast-moving technology they do not manage day to day, while executives are tasked with deploying it responsibly at speed. In this episode, Byron Loflin, Global Head of Board Advisory at Nasdaq, and WWT AVP of Global Cyber Advocacy Kate Kuehn explore what that means for modern governance — from board-level AI literacy and trust between directors and management to error reporting, escalation paths and the growing need for stronger oversight as AI systems become more capable and more autonomous.
Cisco Live 2026 Signals a New Phase of Enterprise AI: Operational Reality
As AI agents, cyber risk and infrastructure demand accelerate, IT leaders must move beyond experimentation and build the visibility, agility and resilience needed to operate at AI speed. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, we dive into the key lessons learned at Cisco Live 2026 and how enterprise business and technology leaders should think about them moving forward.
Securing AI When Agents Move Faster Than Humans Can Respond
AI security is entering a new phase where models like Anthropic's Mythos are becoming more capable and agentic systems can take action across enterprise environments. The risk is no longer just bad answers or hallucinations. It is speed, scope and blast radius. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT security leaders Jillian Nix-Anderson and Istvan Berko explore how organizations can secure themselves in the agentic AI era, where vulnerability discovery, response timelines and operational complexity are all accelerating. And they talk about how WWT's ARMOR framework helps teams structure the conversation across infrastructure, models, data, software development, operations and compliance.
Why the AI Factory Is Becoming the Enterprise's Next Critical Infrastructure
As organizations struggle to move beyond AI pilots, a new architecture — Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA — is emerging as a missing link between experimentation and real business outcomes. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Neil Anderson, Cisco's Kevin Wollenweber and NVIDIA's Chris Marriott discuss how the Secure AI Factory represents a shift from bolt-on protection to security built into the architecture itself.
Cloud, FinOps and AI: What You Need to Know About Unit Economics, GPUs and the ROI Flywheel
AI has pushed cloud into overdrive. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, two of our top cloud experts — Jack French and Todd Barron — reset the approach and detail why cloud is the launchpad but portability is the strategy; how to start greenfield with containers and abstraction; what a real FinOps model for AI looks like (unit economics, tagging, token/GPU visibility); where neo clouds fit versus hyperscalers; and how to handle cross-cloud risk and skill gaps; and the governance moves that accelerate—not restrict—innovation.
How AI Is Rewriting Customer Expectations Across Healthcare, Utilities and Retail
Customer expectations are shifting faster than most organizations can respond. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, leaders from healthcare, utilities and retail break down how AI is redefining what "good" customer experience looks like — and how their industries are rethinking service models, operational workflows and human touchpoints to keep pace with a new, AI-shaped standard.
Deepfake Deception: Can You Trust What You See and Hear?
Deepfakes are getting smarter — is your security strategy keeping up? On this episode of The AI Proving Ground Podcast, cybersecurity veterans Kent Noyes and Chris Roberts expose the latest deepfake tactics used by cybercriminals, discuss real-world attacks that have cost companies millions, and share strategies for staying ahead of this AI-driven threat. They'll also unpack the regulatory landscape and the broader geopolitical stakes at play.
Enterprise AI Adoption: How Workforce AI Is Changing the Future of Work
Organizations are racing to unlock the potential of workforce AI, but only a few have cracked adoption at scale. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, VP of Digital Experiences Joe Berger and workforce AI expert Kait Miller break down why AI pilots stall, how to move from pockets of success to enterprise-wide impact and why employees often trust consumer AI more than company-approved tools. Kait and Joe explore the hidden gap between employee adoption and enterprise rollout, address the build vs. buy conundrum and walk through a real-world case study at WWT that slashed days of work into hours and generated new revenue.
Mythos Is Coming. Are You Building Walls or Traps?
Anthropic's forthcoming Mythos model wasn't built to hack. It just learned how — and it's good at it. In this AI Proving Ground Podcast episode, former NSA cybersecurity director Rob Joyce and WWT cyber leader Kent Noyes break down what Mythos means for your security posture and what the defender's playbook looks like now.
Former NSA Cyber Director on the Emerging AI Threat Landscape
AI-powered nation-state cyber threats have entered a new phase. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Head of National Security and Critical Infrastructure Madison Horn joins former NSA Director Rob Joyce to break down what's changed and why business leaders should be paying close attention.
The Moment AI Becomes an Employee
By the time you come back, the work is done.
Not because someone stayed late. Not because a team worked through the night. Because software made decisions, used tools, navigated workflows, and kept working while nobody was watching.
That's the opportunity unfolding in front of every enterprise right now. It's also the reason leaders are being forced to ask a new set of questions about trust, control, accountability, and risk.
