AI Verified The Gartner press release dated February 12, 2026 contains this exact sentence and attributes it to Wam Voster (“said Wam Voster, VP Analyst at Gartner”) in the body text; the submitted wording matches, aside from typographic straight/curly quote marks.

AI Verified Quote confirmed verbatim from the Gartner press release (Feb 12, 2026) attributed to Wam Voster, VP Analyst. Corroborated by CXOToday, ResilienceForward, ITBrief, TechEdgeAI, BW Businessworld, and Security Review Magazine. Gartner URL returned 403 but content extensively confirmed. Vote 'for' requiring kill switches in datacenters aligns directly with Voster's explicit recommendation that a secure 'kill-switch' is essential. Year 2026 matches. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 18d ago
