What is BoD? If it stands for Board of Directors, than I guessed right and my answer was Other, for I believe going into 2025, the Board's security concerns will be economic security, talent retention, and regulatory requirements compliance, all above cybersecurity which I think will trail a close 4th. If I were forced to pick from the list, to stay on track to a "cybersecurity" focus, then I would pick resilience, because it is linked to all 3 of the top 3.

Is anyone working on automation of EA Practice activities such as design and/or roadmap development through the use of AI tools? This could include but not be limited to strategy, analysis, solution development, governance submissions, standards review, white papers etc. We are using ARIS as an EA repository and are considering the use of the AI companion or perhaps even standalone AI tools to import, process, analyses & publish. Happy to discuss ideas for future implementation.

Has anyone successfully negotiated with a big hyperscaler partner to introduce a term into the contract that establishes service prices as public price at time of contract execution and holds those prices flat for the entire contract term? We're trying to think of ways to mitigate potential future cost increases if public prices change (due to tariffs or other unknown conditions) and dilute the impact of negotiated discounts.
