I would like to thank Mythos for my having to perform multi-factor gymnastics every day for every work mobile app:

* Please re-authenticate
* User ID
* BeyondIdentity Challenge (which never works)
* Open BI QR Code
* Screen Shot QR Code
* Open in Work Side Photos app

* Open the URL
* Approve BI
* Challenged with my phone's 8 digit PIN
* Challenged by Okta
* Accept the Okta Notification
* What was I just trying to do?

🗽 I’ve just returned from a vacation in New York.

🤖 And I brought back something unexpected: not souvenirs, but a very concrete reflection on where we really are with AI.

🌃 In Times Square, next to Coca-Cola and Samsung, there was an ad for an AI platform.
In cafés, from Starbucks to Gregorys, anyone with an open laptop — students, developers, journalists — was interacting with Claude, Copilot or ChatGPT.
Not as a novelty. As normality.

In the US, AI has already crossed the cultural point of no return.

📊 The data confirms it: 41% of American workers use GenAI for professional purposes, compared to ~20% of European companies. And the gap is even wider between large enterprises (55%) and SMEs (17%).

In my new article, I talk about:
🏙️ What I saw in Times Square and Manhattan cafés
📈 The real data behind the US vs Europe gap
⚠️ Shadow AI: why uncontrolled growth is the most underestimated risk
🔐 How governance and identity management are becoming the key to adopting AI sustainably

Okta Verify macht Biometrie-Pflicht durchsetzbar und behebt Registrierungslücken direkt im Anmeldevorgang

Administratoren können biometrische Authentifizierung verbindlich in Anmelderichtlinien festschreiben, und zwar differenziert nach Anwendung. Fehlt einem Nutzer die dafür notwendige Registrierung, greift automatisch ein Inline-Korrekturmechanismus – ohne Fehlermeldung, ohne Abbruch, ohne Support-Ticket.

Shadow AI Agents Emerge as Hidden Risk in Enterprises

As companies rush to adopt AI, a hidden risk is emerging: shadow AI agents operating outside of traditional IT control, leaving many organizations in the dark about where they exist, what they're connected to, and what actions they're taking. This growing visibility gap poses a significant operational risk, driven by teams experimenting…
