Enterprises need an independent agentic AI governance layer, operating above their applications now, if they are to fully realise the value and manage the risk of autonomous agents. Organisations are scaling agentic AI faster than most governance approaches can keep up. Autonomous agents are moving rapidly from pilots to production, executing complex workflows, making decisions, and operating continuously across multiple systems. While agentic AI is proving its value, the har

By 2030, every major enterprise will need an AI governance layer that sits above its platforms rather than inside them. At Knowledge 2026 in Las Vegas, ServiceNow made an ambitious case for becoming the AI operating system of the enterprise. It also raised AI governance questions that will be asked with increasing urgency as agentic AI takes hold. In my recent piece on The End of the Road for the CISO, I argue that the CISO role is converging with a range of other functions i

The CISO occupies an unenviable and arguably untenable role. In theory it is indispensable and central to organisations but in practice, it is marginalised. I increasingly hear from boards and from CISOs themselves that the role as currently constructed, is not working. Cybersecurity is

Two elephants in the room In the cybersecurity and risk management domains, there are two elephants in the room that are receiving insufficient attention. One is the increasingly intense undermining of regulators, and the other is over-dependence on a few hyperscalers. Why regulators matter Cybersecurity, privacy, child safety, and effective market competition all depend on regulators having the power and capacity to act. Regulators play a critical role in setting guardrails
