Intel has appointed Lip Butan as its new CEO, effective March 18th, following a tumultuous period marked by a 54% drop in share prices and the ousting of former CEO Pat Gelsinger. Butan, a seasoned tech investor and former CEO of Keynes Design Systems, is expected to revitalize Intel's fortunes and navigate its controversial Foundry strategy aimed at expanding manufacturing capabilities. Investors reacted positively to his appointment, with Intel's stock price rising over 11% in after-hours trading. Butan's leadership is seen as crucial for Intel to compete in the semiconductor market, particularly in smartphone and AI chip sectors.

In the realm of cybersecurity, SailPoint has expanded its Managed Service Provider program to make identity security solutions more accessible to smaller enterprises, addressing the increasing threats targeting vulnerable identities. This initiative allows businesses to onboard identity security as a fundamental function, focusing on entry-level use cases while providing pathways for future growth. Meanwhile, TeamViewer has launched its first integrated solution with One E, enhancing digital workspace experiences through improved device monitoring and secure remote connectivity.

SolarWinds has announced its acquisition of Squadcast, a company specializing in incident response solutions, to bolster its capabilities in managing complex IT environments. This merger aims to streamline incident response and improve operational resilience for IT professionals. Additionally, Verizon Business has introduced a new security service called Trusted Connection, which enhances cybersecurity by implementing continuous verification of access to devices, networks, and cloud applications, addressing the significant risks posed by stolen credentials.

A recent study by the Tao Center for Digital Journalism has raised concerns about the reliability of generative AI search tools, revealing that over 60% of citations provided by these tools are incorrect. This highlights the urgent need for better evaluation and citation practices in AI-powered searches. Furthermore, research from Harvard Business Review indicates that while AI can enhance executive decision-making, it requires active human engagement to avoid critical blind spots. The findings suggest that companies must find the right balance between human oversight and AI capabilities to optimize decision-making processes.
