Q&A: Box CEO embraces shift to ‘headless’ software in the agentic AI era

The rise of generative AI (genAI) technology has prompted a growing debate about the future of software-as-a-service (SaaS) business models.  Some of the fears are overblown: enterprises are unlikely to vibe-code their own applications to replace their SaaS suppliers anytime soon, while software vendors have yet to see per-seat sales fall off due to mass automation…

European AI adoption hits 99% with regulated data driving most policy violations

Generative AI tools operate inside nearly every European workplace, embedded in meeting transcription services, writing assistants, coding copilots, and search features. Workers in the region pull these tools into daily routines that involve customer records, financial information, and proprietary code, and that volume of activity has produced a measurable pattern in where data exposure occurs.…

API Security Risks Rise as AI Adoption Accelerates

As organizations deploy autonomous agents and generative AI tools at scale, APIs have become a backbone of modern operations — introducing a growing attack surface. Enterprises are rapidly embracing AI and API-driven architectures, but a new report from Salt Security reveals that security is struggling to keep up. “The future of AI will not be…

GenAI Alone Isn’t Enough: Rethinking AI in Cybersecurity

As organizations accelerate their AI adoption, many are turning to generative AI (GenAI) as a cornerstone of their security strategy.  But according to Melissa Ruzzi, Director of AI at AppOmni, relying on GenAI alone may create more gaps than it solves. “GenAI is non-deterministic and language-focused, so it’s not the most appropriate tool in certain…

Encyclopedia Britannica sues OpenAI over AI training

Encyclopedia Britannica and its subsidiary Merriam-Webster have sued OpenAI, claiming the generative AI (genAI) firm used their encyclopedia and dictionary texts to train AI models such as ChatGPT without permission, according to Reuters. The lawsuit alleges OpenAI copied nearly 100,000 articles from Britannica’s material and claims ChatGPT can reproduce content almost verbatim, which risks reducing…

AWS Threat Intel Finds 600+ FortiGate Devices Hit 

A financially motivated cybercriminal has used commercial generative AI tools to compromise more than 600 FortiGate devices across 55 countries — without exploiting specific software vulnerabilities. This “… campaign succeeded by exploiting exposed management ports and weak credentials with single-factor authentication, fundamental security gaps that AI helped an unsophisticated actor exploit at scale,” said CJ…

AI-powered campaign compromises 600 FortiGate systems worldwide

A Russian-speaking cybercriminal used commercial generative AI tools to hack over 600 FortiGate devices across 55 countries. Amazon Threat Intelligence reports that a Russian-speaking, financially motivated threat actor used commercial generative AI services to compromise more than 600 FortiGate devices in 55 countries. The activity, observed between January 11 and February 18, 2026, highlights how…

Hackers can turn Grok, Copilot into covert command-and-control channels, researchers warn

Enterprise security teams racing to enable generative AI tools may be overlooking a new risk: attackers can abuse web-based AI assistants such as Grok and Microsoft Copilot to quietly relay malware communications through domains that are often exempt from deeper inspection. The technique, outlined by Check Point Research (CPR), exploits the web-browsing and URL-fetch capabilities…
