Summary: ThreatSpike’s CEO, Adam Blake explains the ThreatSpike story; how a cybersecurity company became the world’s first AI-managed IT department, and what that shift means for every business still managing the old model.

The Honest Truth About IT in 2026

Most businesses are managing a patchwork of providers, tools and vendor relationships that were never designed to work together. The IT team is firefighting, the MSP is reactive and billing by the hour, and the security vendor has no visibility into the infrastructure that it’s supposed to be protecting. Nobody owns the whole thing and that’s the model working exactly as it was designed.

In this session, the ThreatSpike story is told by CEO, Adam Blake, who explains why the model itself is the problem, what it looks like when you replace it entirely, and what ThreatSpike has built to help businesses do this. This is a founder talking honestly about what he saw, what he built, and why the AI-managed IT department is the only answer that actually closes the problem at the root.
