Zero-day and one-day vulnerabilities are no longer rare technical anomalies. They are active threats leveraged daily by cybercriminals and nation-state actors alike. For IT executives and the teams they lead, protecting the enterprise requires more than patch management or reactive measures. It demands a proactive, intelligence-driven strategy that anticipates threats before they strike.
If you're responsible for IT and financial strategy at the enterprise level, you're likely walking a tightrope. You need to support rapid innovation, maintain operational continuity, and align infrastructure investments with business objectives without locking up capital or delaying outcomes. Traditional procurement models just aren’t cutting it anymore. They're slow, rigid, and often leave you overcommitted to technology you may not fully use.
There is no doubt that a high rate of threat detection is a crucial indicator of success for a security system. Detecting 100% of active threats would seem to be the hallmark of an ideal security solution. However, evaluating success solely on threat detection provides an incomplete picture and can ultimately lead to suboptimal outcomes.
IT hiring managers are almost always under pressure to deliver results fast, often with fewer resources. The old hiring model of posting job ads, interviewing, onboarding, and hoping the hire works out no longer cuts it. When entry-level talent lacks real-world experience, your senior engineers end up mentoring instead of building. That slows everything down and drives up your IT hiring cost.
As Kubernetes celebrates a decade of innovation and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) marks its 10th anniversary, the momentum behind container orchestration and cloud-native transformation has never been stronger. At Google Next 2025, the “GKE at 10 Years and the Future of Kubernetes” session spotlighted how Kubernetes has evolved from humble beginnings into the backbone of modern infrastructure, fueling AI, data, and application modernization at a global scale.
If you're at the early stages of evaluating a storage refresh, it’s likely not your favorite project, but it holds significant weight for the future of your organization. Enterprise storage systems aren't refreshed often, and that’s understandable. However, if it’s been a few years since your last upgrade, you're likely facing a very different technology environment.
Modern IT operations require innovative solutions to keep up with application modernization, enhanced security, and the seamless management of multi-cloud environments. Enterprises are increasingly adopting hybrid cloud strategies, combining the reliability of virtualized environments with the efficiency of containerized applications. VMware’s vSphere with Tanzu leads the way in this transition, and WEI is ready to assist you in creating a forward-thinking IT infrastructure.
Migrating to the cloud is more than a technical upgrade...it's a strategic transformation. At WEI, we seek the latest insights to help our clients navigate this journey. Recently, I attended the Accelerate Your Google Cloud Migration Journey session at Google Cloud Next 2025, which delivered a wealth of practical advice, strategies, and real-world lessons for organizations considering or actively planning a move to Google Cloud. Here are my highlights and actionable takeaways from the session.
Over the last decade, the topic of cybersecurity has shifted from being a technical subject to a mainstream topic impacting every facet of the organization. As cyberattacks become increasingly more sophisticated, frequent and disruptive executive leaders now face a new complex blend of issues, including economics, business processes, and psychology.
Enterprise IT leaders face constant pressure to deliver results that matter, yet many strategies still begin with the wrong question: “What servers do we need?” before asking “What business result are we trying to achieve?” That architecture-first mindset flips priorities and often leads to rigid environments, unpredictable costs, and disconnected initiatives.
