AI is changing how security teams find vulnerabilities, analyze code, test applications, and protect infrastructure. Developers are building tools to secure AI systems themselves, from coding agents and memory protection to model exposure discovery. This roundup covers recent open-source releases for vulnerability research, application security testing, container security, endpoint protection, AI security, and penetration testing.…

Somewhere right now, a Mac Mini is sitting on a shelf doing someone’s chores. Nobody’s watching it. It reads a version number out of Terminal, hops over to Safari, digs up a release year, then quietly files a reminder, the kind of dull three-app errand a human would grumble through in ninety seconds. The machine…

Anthropic has found a way to shed new light on how its models solve problems, thanks to its discovery of what it has dubbed the J-space. “We find that Claude has developed a small collection of internal neural patterns that, compared to all its other internal processing, play a special role. We call the collection…
The hard part was never finding the exposure. It was deciding what to do about it: whether to patch, mitigate, monitor, or accept, and banking that that decision would still hold tomorrow. A penetration test answers this question for the day it runs, then quietly expires. The environment shifts, a control drifts, a new technique…
For years, people dismissed video games as a waste of time. Parents complained they were a distraction. Employers worried they were a sign of poor work ethic. Politicians…
Companies are handing routine operational decisions to AI agents that plan, remember, and act on their behalf. These agents run on statistical models, and their behavior can drift across weeks and months. That drift opens a security gap outside the reach of standard monitoring tools. A study of about 1,080 open job postings at OpenAI…
The single job, for a single employer, held for years and traded up one rung at a time, is starting to look like a museum piece to the people entering work right now.
