I’m excited to announce a new capability in Redgate Monitor Enterprise: the Sensitive Action Log. As infrastructure becomes more complex, it’s more critical than ever to maintain control over how your monitoring environment is configured and accessed. Whether you’re responding to internal compliance policies, preparing for audits, or simply tightening operational security, it’s key to understand who did what, when.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) might not always be the loudest name in the cloud room. But it’s gradually become a powerhouse for organizations running data-intensive, AI/ML, and global-scale applications. We also can’t ignore that GCP offers a backbone powered by Google’s own infrastructure (the same one that runs YouTube, Gmail, and Search).

In a world where AI and automation are redefining enterprise IT, there’s one harsh truth that often gets overlooked: most automation initiatives fail before they begin. Not because the technology isn’t ready, but because the strategy isn’t. Too often, teams fall into well-worn traps—automation anti-patterns—that stall progress, waste resources, and fail to deliver meaningful impact. Let’s call them what they are: automation mistakes.

Cloud computing was already booming before 2020. But in the following two years, remote work flourished, and cloud adoption soared. The trend continues to accelerate — even faster now. Some companies have since returned to the office. Others are adopting hybrid models, balancing work-from-home and in-office. Yet, there’s more to the rise of cloud computing than remote working.

At IBM’s Think conference this week, the company made a bold announcement: 94% of its HR functions are now handled by AI, a shift they claim will generate $3.5 billion in savings over the next two years. These are staggering numbers. And while the cynic in me can’t ignore that this announcement was made at what is, effectively, a sales conference – especially one that coincided with the launch of IBM’s AI Agent Store – the scale of those numbers deserves attention.

We are standing at the threshold of one of the most transformative technological shifts in modern enterprise history. AI is no longer on the horizon – it’s here, it’s powerful, and it’s already reshaping the way businesses think about productivity, creativity, and competitive advantage. OpenAI’s recent report, ‘AI in the Enterprise‘, offers a concise and thoughtful roadmap for leaders seeking to implement AI within their organizations.

Let’s be honest, most AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools today are relatively smart but not always super useful. You ask them to explain something, write an email, maybe generate some code, but the moment you want them to do something real, like schedule a meeting, file a bug report, or move stuff across your tools, they just stare blankly. That’s where MCP comes in. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol.
