Agentic AI and the End of Traditional IT (w/ Robb Wilson)

In a wide-ranging conversation, Robb Wilson—CEO and co-founder of OneReach.ai and author of The Age of Invisible Machines—joins Tim and Tom to explore the rise of agentic AI and its seismic implications for IT, organizations, and society. Robb breaks down the concept of agent runtimes, why conversational interfaces matter more than ever, and how adaptive, self-orchestrating systems will reshape work far beyond today’s service models.

Urgent Security Alert: New Firewall Vulnerabilities Identified. #patch #shorts

Cisco has identified a new attack variant targeting firewalls, highlighting the need for user education on vulnerabilities. A vulnerability discovered on November 5th affects nearly 50,000 devices, with many still at risk as of September 30th. Organizations struggle to expedite updates due to complex configurations and implementation challenges. Recent research indicates that network edge devices are prime targets for zero-day vulnerabilities, emphasizing the need for improved security measures.

The Hidden Bottleneck in Latency: GetYourGuide's Database Performance Journey

Fast front-end and back-end code alone won’t guarantee low end-to-end latency as hidden bottlenecks in the database can undermine even the best engineering efforts. In this session, Oleksii Serhiienko, Senior Site Reliability Engineer at GetYourGuide, will share how his team put database performance at the center of their monitoring strategy. He will highlight how they identified and fixed slow queries, uncovered load balancing issues that drove significant cost savings, and built monitoring practices that improved both reliability and investigation workflows.

From Error to Fix: AI-Powered Debugging with Sentry and GitHub

​This session will focus on the agent based features of Sentry for debugging an issue in a web application. We'll move through the broken issue - and show how tools like Sentry Seer and the GitHub repo integration make it easy to determine the root cause of an issue by bringing all the context of Sentry and code in GitHub together, and how the Sentry MCP makes it easy to pull all that context down into GitHub CoPilot to fix it locally.

Dynamic Stage | Execute a Pipeline within a Stage !

The new Dynamic Stage allows you to import and execute an entire pipeline's YAML definition inside a single stage of your current pipeline. It is essentially running a pipeline within a stage. The pipeline YAML can either be generated and transformed at runtime in a previous stage, or be directly provided to the source input of the Dynamic Stage in encoded form. Dynamic Stages work seamlessly across Harness CI and CD modules.

UK Cybersecurity Bill #shorts

The UK introduces a cybersecurity bill that enforces stricter regulations for critical infrastructure. As threat actors become more aggressive and utilize AI for advanced attacks, the legislation mandates organizations to respond quickly to incidents. Vendors must notify authorities within 24 hours, and emergency powers are created to improve cybersecurity responses. The emphasis is now on managing exposure in vulnerability practices.
