At New York Build, we look forward to engaging with construction leaders on how to connect their enterprise systems, strengthen their digital infrastructure, and operationalize AI in ways

OpenText™, a global leader in secure information management for AI, announced its participation in RSA Conference 2026, taking place March 23-26 in San Francisco. OpenText will showcase how organizations can secure agentic AI across its full lifecycle using secure coding, identity-first and data-centric controls. Located in the Moscone North at Booth N-4535, OpenText will present a unified approach to securing the agentic AI stack across code, identities, data, and live operations. In-booth demonstrations will include:  Prevent AI AppSec Risk Before Release to reduce critical vulnerabilities in production and accelerate remediation. Govern Agent Privileges to Stop Autonomous Abuse and limit lateral movement and misuse of agent-initiated actions. Enforce Policy-Safe RAG Access to Protect Sensitive Data to support AI adoption with compliance-ready confidence.  Detect and Contain AI Threats in Real Time to lower MTTR and strengthen cyber resilience.  OpenText Breakout Session  Wednesday March 25, 2026 | 2:25-3:15 PM  Deceive, Detect, Defend: Cyber-Resilience Through Data-Centric Security  Speakers: Krista Case, OpenText; Greg Clark, OpenText  This session will

Asite, a leading platform for information management in the built environment, has announced the release of 8 new AI Agents under its Cognitive CDE™ platform. Together, the Agents enable secure AI adoption across construction and infrastructure projects. The built environment is under increasing pressure to deliver programmes faster, comply with more stringent regulations, and manage rapidly expanding volumes of project data. Despite this, many organizations remain hesitant to deploy AI on secure projects. Asite’s Cognitive CDE™ aims to bridge that gap by operationalizing AI within the structured controls of the Common Data Environment (CDE). The first 8 Cognitive CDE™ AI Agents function inside Asite’s security vetted architecture. They retrieve information, validate submissions, and automate repetitive workflows while maintaining role-based access controls and full auditability. The Agents do not learn from, retain, or repurpose customer project data. Following the release of the Asite Cognitive CDE™ in May 2025, Beta program participants reported measurable improvements across three core areas:

In a post on Autodesk’s blog, Thomas Heermann announced that Autodesk VRED is coming to Apple Vision Pro.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. introduced Keysight AI Inference Builder (KAI Inference Builder), an emulation and analytics platform designed to validate inference-optimized AI infrastructure at scale. Keysight will demonstrate the solution at NVIDIA GTC, showcasing operation within NVIDIA DSX Air AI factory simulation environments to model and optimize AI data center infrastructure, architectures, and performance.  As the AI industry shifts from training large language models (LLMs) to deploying them, optimizing inference has become a crucial factor for ROI. However, inference behavior is highly dynamic and difficult to emulate. Traditional testing methods like synthetic traffic generation or GPU benchmarks cannot accurately reproduce the latency-sensitive workload behavior of AI inferencing across compute, networking, memory, storage, and security layers.  KAI Inference Builder closes that gap by recreating realistic inference workload patterns and modeling industry-specific usage patterns to validate AI infrastructure, applications, and data center deployments. The platform gives AI cloud providers, hardware vendors, and application developers a scalable solution for measuring, validating,

ysight Technologies, Inc. announced the launch of Keysight SBOM Manager, a new solution designed to help organizations meet growing global cybersecurity and software transparency requirements, led by the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The solution provides a unified approach to generating, managing, and using Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) for digital products, enabling organizations to meet regulatory obligations with greater accuracy, confidence, and consistency across the product lifecycle. Cybersecurity regulations worldwide are converging on a common expectation: manufacturers must understand, manage, and disclose the components within their digital products, including software and firmware. Regulations such as the EU CRA, U.S. Executive Order 14028, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cybersecurity requirements for medical devices, and emerging frameworks in Asia are making SBOMs a foundational requirement for market access, regulatory approval, and customer trust worldwide. Keysight SBOM Manager is designed to support this shift by addressing the practical challenges organizations face as SBOM requirements
