When Best Buy scaled its use of AI on Google Cloud, its technology teams faced administrative friction from syncing thousands of users from Microsoft Entra ID.

The retailer implemented Workforce Identity Federation, allowing developers to access cloud resources securely using their existing Microsoft credentials—without a separate identity store.

Now, when developers access BigQuery, they authenticate as themselves using their existing Entra ID identity. Removing the service account key layer greatly reduces the credential management burden, giving technical leadership confidence that access remains strictly controlled, auditable, and manageable at scale.

Doing Business in Canada: A market-entry strategy, not a trade mission.

In this week’s Express Business – Chamber Matters, TT Chamber CEO Dr. Vashti Guyadeen shares key insights on approaching the Canadian market with preparation, strategy and purpose.

From understanding market needs and regulatory requirements to building relationships and converting opportunities into business, success in Canada requires more than simply showing up—it requires being ready to present, negotiate, build relationships and do business.

Today, the Open Secure AI Alliance officially transitions to the Linux Foundation, strengthening its mission to make AI security open, collaborative, and accessible.

Originally founded by NVIDIA, the Open Secure AI Alliance will develop open source tools, shared standards, and defensive practices that help organizations inspect, audit, and secure AI systems.

Under the Linux Foundation’s neutral governance, this community can accelerate the development of a shared, open security stack for AI. That includes initiatives such as the Shared AI Findings Exchange (SAFE), which enables organizations to share threat intelligence and collectively strengthen defenses against emerging AI security risks.

AI security is a shared challenge. Addressing it requires an open ecosystem where organizations can collaborate across vendors, platforms, and industries.

Most data center CPUs are built to maximize core count. NVIDIA Vera is built to maximize speed per core.

Here's why that matters for AI agents:

AI agents work in loops. The model reasons → the CPU executes → the result comes back → repeat. Every step depends on the step before it. More cores can't speed up a single loop. Only a faster core can.

Vera is a max single-threaded CPU at scale — designed so every core completes its work at full performance, even when all 88 cores are running flat out.

The result: 1.8x the sustained per-core performance of x86 in loaded agentic workloads.

Faster loops. More agent work. Better GPU utilization.

That's what a CPU built for the agentic AI era looks like.
