Cloud and services are 44% of Mexico's tech spend but over 92% of growth

Cloud and services are 44% of Mexico's tech spend but over 92% of growth

Mexico's corporate tech spending is projected at MX$547 billion (US$31.8 billion) in 2026, up 4.1%. Cloud and services take more than 92% of that growth, while servers and PCs sit last on priority lists. Buying decisions now happen in subscription contracts.

  • 01Cloud and services make up 44% of Mexico's corporate tech market and more than 92% of its growth, so subscription contracts are where this year's real buying decisions happen.
  • 02Public cloud is projected to grow 16.1% in Mexico in 2026, roughly four times the 4.1% pace of total tech spending. That gap is a useful benchmark for any IT budget still built around equipment.

Prismatic Algos Reports Trading-Filter Results Across 150 Live Accounts

Prismatic Algos released its free Algo Consistency Index (ACI), a public research package with findings from 105 strategy backtests and 150 live trading accounts testing trading-halt and risk-scaling filters. The research found no validated advantage for the tested filters over randomized comparisons, providing developers and researchers a reference dashboard and methodology to evaluate algorithmic trading controls.

  • 01No tested trading-halt or risk-scaling rule outperformed its randomized comparison across 56 trend, 26 mean-reversion, and 23 session-clock backtests plus 150 live accounts.
  • 02The free ACI dashboard uses 12 reference strategies across 17 symbols and three mechanism families, with data transparency about sources, dates and sample sizes for EA developers and portfolio teams.
  • 03ACI is descriptive research not validated for predicting returns or improving trading decisions; Prismatic Algos removed the proposed sizing multiplier on Oct. 28 based on the findings.

Proofpoint agrees to buy Varonis for $6.3 billion to guard what AI agents can reach

Proofpoint agrees to buy Varonis for $6.3 billion to guard what AI agents can reach

Proofpoint agreed to buy Varonis Systems for about $6.3 billion in cash, or $49.75 a share. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027 if Varonis shareholders and regulators approve it. It pairs Proofpoint's email and collaboration security with Varonis's data permissions, a bet on controlling what AI agents can reach. Until the deal closes, buyers deal with two separate vendors.

  • 01Proofpoint's $6.3 billion Varonis deal puts the message layer (email, cloud apps, collaboration tools) and the data-permission layer under one owner, a bet that AI agent risk sits where the two meet.
  • 02The combined platform is a stated plan: the two companies stay separate until a close expected in the first half of 2027, so anything bought today is bought as each company ships it.
  • 03The companies say the combined business will serve more than 16,000 enterprises; Proofpoint alone says it serves more than 14,000 large enterprises.
