News from the week beginning 16th February 2026

Enterprise Times editor Ian Murphy talked with Brett Candon, VP International of Dropzone AI. The company says it is delivering the world’s first SOC analyst. For a decade, we’ve heard security vendors talk about how machine learning and AI will replace SOC Level One analysts. But does that make sense? Can it really replace a level 1 analyst, or is it just a tool? What can it offer, and how do you make the most of it? It seemed a good time to talk with Candon to see what they were doing.

Chris Argent, Founder of GENCFO and co-author of the report, commented, “There is a hidden perception–performance gap between finance and the business, which we must address in 2026. Finance is working incredibly hard, but hard work is not the same as high impact.

“This report shines a light on where we’re talking about business partnering, digital finance and AI – and where our everyday behaviours, reporting and ways of working still belong to an older model of finance.”

  • Snowflake as the governed financial backbone
  • Sigma and Power BI as structured decision interfaces
  • Subscription-level revenue modelling embedded directly into the data foundation
