Three weeks ago, the SAP API Policy v.4.2026a looked like a legal document with no enforcement infrastructure. After Sapphire 2026, it looks like a strategy with a product line attached. CIOs running SAP have three weeks until June 9 enforcement begins, and the destination the policy redirects you to is now fully visible. The policy […]

Have a great story about leveraging security, privacy, and risk management to drive trust, resilience, and responsible innovation? We'd love to hear from you.

Volatility is no longer episodic — it’s the operating environment. War‑driven geopolitical conflict, energy shocks, cyber escalation, AI disruption, and supply chain fragility are colliding to compress planning cycles and raise the stakes of every business decision. For marketing, CX, technology, and security leaders alike, this volatility is showing up simultaneously in budgets, customer trust, brand promise, employee burnout, infrastructure access, and operational resilience. This peer discussion will focus on how enterprise leaders are adapting strategy, execution, and leadership models when stability can no longer be assumed. We’ll explore how CMOs and CX leaders are protecting demand, loyalty, and experience under pressure — while tech and security leaders rethink cost, resilience, sovereignty, and risk — and where these worlds must align to avoid fragmentation. This conversation will be hosted by Steph Balaouras, Matthew Selheimer, Martin Gill, and Sri Sridharan, and will include open discussion with participants, so please bring your questions and real‑world experiences to share with the group. Questions for discussion:How is geopolitical volatility (including war and energy disruption) changing your priorities this quarter — not just long‑term strategy, but day‑to‑day decisions? Where are short‑term cost pressures colliding with long-term strategy? With AI ambitions? How are you adjusting planning and operating models when assumptions about stability no longer hold? What does resilience mean outside of IT right now? How are you leading people through sustained uncertainty? Peer discussions are available exclusively to Forrester Decisions VIP Leader and Leader license holders for their own participation.

Today’s tech leaders face a fundamentally different kind of volatility that’s no longer episodic or cyclical, but structural and persistent. Rapid AI advances, widening geopolitical instability, and renewed calls for sovereignty are reshaping not just markets but also the rules for how technology is built, deployed, and scaled. This has upended carefully crafted strategies, leaving tech leaders feeling overwhelmed. However, leaders can regain control, operate leaner, and navigate disruption more effectively. It requires three immediate actions: optimizing spend without sacrificing AI readiness, committing to strong change management and leadership, and anticipating and adapting to future volatility.

RSAC Conference 2026 has come and gone. Gone, too, are the petting zoos of yesteryear, replaced this year by — of all things — pop-up tattoo parlors. Or as one attendee observed, “We’ve traded livestock for live needles.” This year’s attendance of over 43,500 was flat compared to 2025, but the sessions and exhibit floor […]
