🔦 Weekly Spotlight

Three shifts stand out across fraud, cybersecurity, and contracts. Fraud defenses must now protect against AI-enabled attacks that scale faster than traditional controls. Public-sector software providers need compliance readiness built into their go-to-market strategy, not treated as a late-stage hurdle. And AI contract management is moving beyond document search, putting expertise and workflow automation within reach of more teams.
