Virtualization Review

News Linux creator and lead maintainer Linus Torvalds has drawn a firm line in the open source debate over artificial intelligence, declaring that the Linux kernel will not become an anti-AI project and telling developers who cannot accept that position that they are free to fork the project or leave. The unusually direct intervention comes amid continuing resistance to AI-assisted development in open source communities.

News Google is pushing more AI inference out of cloud datacenters and into users' browsers with the launch of LiteRT.js, a JavaScript binding for its cross-platform LiteRT on-device runtime. "By bringing the trusted on-device inference library LiteRT to the web, web developers can now run ML and AI models with maximum performance entirely locally," said Google in announcing LiteRT.js, a JavaScript binding of LiteRT for running AI directly inside a web browser.

Security for an AI-Driven World: Layered Protection in the Age of AI and Emerging Threats Date: Tuesday, August 25 at 9am PT / 12pm ET Join us live for a chance to win exclusive attendee prizes!* Modern organizations are navigating an increasingly complex security landscape—balancing risk mitigation with regulatory compliance, digital sovereignty, and supply chain security across hybrid cloud environments.

Securing Claude: A Security Leader's Playbook for Governing Coding Agents in the Enterprise AI coding agents like Claude Code are rewriting how software gets built — and rewriting the security threat model with it. Claude Code is already responsible for 4% of all public GitHub commits, a number projected to hit 20% by year-end. It reads codebases, edits files, runs shell commands, and integrates with your cloud accounts, SaaS apps, and internal services.

News AI agents may have entered the enterprise mainstream, but the content infrastructure supporting them apparently has not kept pace, indicates a new survey-based report from Box, a cloud-based content management company. While 83% of organizations surveyed by Box said they are running AI agents, only 36% of those using or experimenting with agents have connected them to trusted internal content across many use cases.

After Mythos: Building Security Architecture for the New Reality Date: Thursday, July 30 at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET The release of Mythos marked a turning point. The latest AI models will truly enable attackers to operate at machine speed - automating reconnaissance, collapsing time-to-exploit, and moving laterally across hybrid environments in minutes.

Securing Diverse Data in Key Sectors: Insights on Unstructured Data Protection in Healthcare, Financial Services and SLED What if 90% of your data wasn’t protected? That may be the case in 5 years as IDC anticipates 90% of all data will be unstructured by then. Unstructured data, ranging from patient health records and financial transactions to student information and municipal records, is widespread across key industries – and oftentimes unprotected due to the scale and distribution of it.

News Veeam and Rubrik led the two axes in Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms, but the larger story in the report may be the changing definition of enterprise backup itself. In the chart, Veeam was positioned highest on the Ability to Execute axis, while Rubrik was positioned furthest on the Completeness of Vision axis.

In-Depth Like other enterprise workloads, AI applications must be designed with scalability and performance in mind. After all, it's one thing to build a chatbot, but it's quite another thing to create a chatbot that can service hundreds or thousands of concurrent requests without overburdening the underlying hardware. In an effort to help AI chatbots service more demanding workloads with less overall hardware impact, organizations are adopting a technique called speculative decoding.

In-Depth When we last looked at Microsoft's Secure Services Edge (SSE) solution -- Global Secure Access (GSA) -- back in February 2025, it had only been in the market for six months. Now, 18 months later, we have the next milestone that many products have -- "here's our tool to help you migrate to our platform from the competition." There's also been some interesting development in GSA over this time, especially for managing AI usage in your organization that we'll also look at. Let's dive in.
