Why Policy in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore chose Cedar for securing agentic workflows

Agents have agency: they adapt and find multiple ways to solve problems. This autonomy creates a fundamental security challenge: the large language model (LLM) at the heart of the agent is non-deterministic, and its decisions can’t be predicted or guaranteed in advance. It can hallucinate harmful actions with complete confidence. It’s vulnerable to prompt injection…

1,800+ MCP servers exposed without authentication: How zero trust can secure the AI agent revolution

We find ourselves teetering upon a precipice of our own unwitting construction, and the vertiginous depth of our collective negligence ought to give every security practitioner profound pause. In our headlong rush to deploy AI agents across enterprise environments, we have erected an infrastructure so thoroughly unfortified that it beggars belief. The Model Context Protocol,…

Vuln in Google’s Antigravity AI agent manager could escape sandbox, give attackers remote code execution

As organizations consider agentic AI for their business and IT stacks, researchers continue to find bugs and vulnerabilities in major, commercial models  that can significantly expand their attack surface. This week, researchers at Pillar Security disclosed a vulnerability in Antigravity, an AI-powered developer tool for filesystem operations made by Google. The bug, since patched, combined…

Here’s What Agentic AI Can Do With Have I Been Pwned’s APIs

I love cutting-edge tech, but I hate hyperbole, so I find AI to be a real paradox. Somewhere in that whole mess of overnight influencers, disinformation and ludicrous claims is some real “gold” – AI stuff that’s genuinely useful and makes a meaningful difference. This blog post cuts straight to the good stuff, specifically how…

OpenAI expands its cyber defense program with GPT-5.4-Cyber for vetted researchers

Defending critical software has long depended on the ability to find and fix vulnerabilities faster than attackers can exploit them. OpenAI is expanding a program designed to give professional defenders prioritized access to AI tools built for that purpose. The company is scaling its Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program to thousands of verified individual…

Scans for EncystPHP Webshell, (Mon, Apr 13th)

Last week, I wrote about attackers scanning for various webshells, hoping to find some that do not require authentication or others that use well-known credentials. But some attackers are paying attention and are deploying webshells with more difficult-to-guess credentials. Today, I noticed some scans for what appears to be the “EncystPHP” web shell.

The dark side of chatbots with ‘personality’

They say you can find anything on Amazon. Now, you can even get a personality.  Not for yourself, but for your AI “friend,” Alexa.  Amazon has announced four new “conversation styles” or “personalities” for its voice-interaction Alexa+ AI chatbot.  Users can now choose between “Brief,” “Chill,” “Sweet,” and “Sassy” styles and pick from a range…

Google continues to find itself in hot water over its alleged antitrust tactics and monopolization of certain market segments. Now its parent company, Alphabet, seems to be ceding to EU scrutiny of its search practices.  The company will reportedly begin testing changes to its search engine results in the EU to more fairly represent vertical…
