ProcessUnity Deploys Risk-Trained AI Agents to Eliminate Third-Party Risk Busywork

Philip D. Harris, CISSP, CCSK — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

ProcessUnity launched ProcessUnity AI Agents for TPRM, a suite of risk-trained AI agents organized into intake, due diligence, and monitoring-and-remediation packages that autonomously handle the manual work of third-party risk assessment while routing every judgment-bearing decision to a human reviewer, with an early adopter reporting a 75% drop in returned inherent risk questionnaires, a 54% faster initial intake cycle, a 43% gain in assessment throughput, and 45% of assessments now completed with agents, out of an initial lineup with more than 50 additional agents already in development. IDC views this as a deliberate rejection of generalist, chatbot-style AI in TPRM: by training agents on program-specific risk methodology, attaching source evidence and a confidence score to every output in an immutable log, and pricing predictably rather than per-token, ProcessUnity is squarely targeting the defensibility, auditability, and cost-control concerns that have kept many risk teams from operationalizing AI at scale.

IBM's Dual-Architecture Processor Brings Native Arm Execution to the Mainframe

Kuba Stolarski, Jeff Janukowicz, Brent Ellis, Dr. William Lee, Jim Hines — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

At the Hot Chips 2026 conference, IBM disclosed a next-generation processor for future IBM Z and LinuxONE systems that executes both the z/Architecture and Arm (AArch64) instruction sets natively on every core. IBM describes it as the industry's first dual-architecture mainframe processor and the first hardware result of its April 2026 collaboration with Arm. The disclosure matters less for its peak specifications than for the software boundary it moves. Running Arm-based Linux on the same silicon that runs z/OS and existing Linux workloads, and exposing the platform's cryptography, compression, and AI accelerators to Arm software through standard Linux interfaces, positions IBM Z and LinuxONE to host the growing body of cloud-native and AI software written for Arm without asking customers to give up the reliability, security, and availability that keep mission-critical workloads on the platform.

IDC Survey: AI MFP Survey Results — MPDS Customer Perception and Adoption Plans for AI MFP

Robert Palmer — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey presents findings from IDC’s U.S. AI MFP Survey, conducted in May 2026, examining customer perceptions and adoption plans for AI-infused multifunction printers (MFPs). The presentation covers factors driving AI technology selection, current AI adoption levels in print and document workflows, and the capabilities and integration requirements organizations expect from AI MFPs.

The presentation further examines how organizations evaluate AI MFP performance, including success metrics, deployment model preferences, and product line expectations, providing MFP vendors and technology suppliers with a data-grounded view of where the U.S. market currently stands and what will shape purchasing decisions in AI-capable print infrastructure going forward.

Market Forecast: Worldwide and U.S. External Enterprise Storage Systems Forecast, 2026–2030

Carol Sliwa, Natalya Yezhkova — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC presentation provides the five-year forecast for the external enterprise storage systems market and delivers insights into the drivers and inhibitors of growth.

"Databases, AI, and analytics will be the leading workloads driving growth in the external enterprise storage systems market through 2030, as demand for all-flash arrays remains strong to meet requirements for high-performance infrastructure. IDC expects high flash memory costs and storage drive shortages will have an impact on spending through 2027." — Carol Sliwa, research director, Storage and Data Management, Enterprise Infrastructure

OpenAI Pulls Its Models from Cursor as the Agentic Coding Battle Intensifies

Arnal Dayaratna — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

OpenAI's decision to withdraw direct support for its models in Cursor reflects its concern that SpaceX may use outputs from OpenAI models supplied through Cursor to develop Grok in violation of its terms of service. The withdrawal will sacrifice revenue from Cursor-managed usage while strengthening Codex as the leading agentic coding harness with native, managed access to OpenAI's strongest current and future models. It will also weaken Cursor's model selection experience. The pressure now falls on SpaceX to advance Grok 4.6 and its successors as coding models that can compete directly with GPT-5.6 Sol, Astra, and Claude Opus 5.

Salesforce Expands Headless 360, Moving Beyond Developer Enablement to Enterprise-Wide Agentic Access
