Take a quick walk through your business. When you look at the screens on the walls, what’s actually on them? If it’s a generic weather widget, a “Happy Monday!” slide that’s been up for three weeks, or a “No Signal” box, you aren’t looking at a technology investment.

There are two types of digital transformation. There’s the kind that streamlines a business into a powerhouse, and there’s the kind that turns into a ghost ship; perfectly automated, technically efficient, and completely devoid of life. Right now, we are witnessing a massive shift in the way people do things. While your competitors are busy bragging about replacing their support staff with agentic AI, what they are often doing is building a wall between themselves and their customers.
With AI now being used by adversaries to reverse-engineer patches and generate exploits in hours rather than weeks, our old Patch Tuesday rhythm is essentially an open invitation to hackers. The truth is, the patching gap is a competitive weakness.

Unfortunately, many users shortchange their passwords to try to make them more convenient, also making them more convenient for cybercriminals. Let’s see how we could (and should) make passwords as effective as possible.
