Breach of Confidence — 17 July 2026
I've spent the week watching people argue about whether AI will replace security analysts whilst ignoring the fact that most organisations still can't tell you where their crown jewels are stored. Priorities remain wonderfully intact. Broadcom's Breakup Strategy Allstate tried to leave VMware. Broadcom immediately audited them, then sued them for leaving during the audit. It's the enterprise software equivalent of slashing your ex's tyres because they dared to move house.
