AI Agents Are Shifting Identity Security Budget Dynamics
AI agent projects are proliferating throughout the enterprise, and those AI agent identities require management, security, and governance. New Omdia research shows the AI agent identity budget dynamics are very different than traditional IAM projects.

Shifting Budget Dynamics for Identity Security and AI Agents
AI agent projects are proliferating throughout the enterprise, and those AI agent identities require management, security, and governance. New Omdia research shows the AI agent identity budget dynamics are very different than traditional IAM projects.

CVE Lite CLI: Open-source dependency vulnerability scanner
Dependency vulnerability scanning in JavaScript and TypeScript projects has long sat at the end of the development pipeline. Pull requests get opened, continuous integration runs, and a security scanner returns a list of CVE identifiers that developers then have to triage hours or days after writing the code. CVE Lite CLI, now an officially recognized…

One keypress is all it takes to compromise four AI coding tools
Developers clone unfamiliar repositories all the time. Open-source projects, work from teammates, sample code from a tutorial, a library someone recommended on a forum. The convention is old and reasonable: you look at what’s inside before you run it. AI coding assistants that work from the command line have inherited that convention, and a new…

Microsoft suspends dev accounts for high-profile open source projects
Microsoft has suspended developer accounts used to maintain multiple high-profile open-source projects without proper notification and no way to quickly reinstate them, effectively blocking them from publishing new software builds and security patches for Windows users. […]

Hidden instructions in README files can make AI agents leak data
Developers rely on AI coding agents to set up projects, install dependencies, and run commands by following instructions in repository README files, which provide setup guidance for software projects. New research identifies a security risk when attackers hide malicious instructions in those documents. A semantic injection attack, where injections are embedded in an installation file,…

Video: Why Most AI Projects Fail According to Spyglass MTG CEO
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but many AI projects fail before they ever deliver real business value. In this episode of Channel Insider: Partner POV, host Katie Bavoso sits down with Dori Albert, CEO of Spyglass MTG, to discuss why organizations often struggle to implement AI successfully – and what it actually takes to build AI…

Microsoft Warns Developers of Fake Next.js Job Repos Delivering In-Memory Malware
A “coordinated developer-targeting campaign” is using malicious repositories disguised as legitimate Next.js projects and technical assessments to trick victims into executing them and establish persistent access to compromised machines. “The activity aligns with a broader cluster of threats that use job-themed lures to blend into routine developer workflows and increase the likelihood of code

AI Governance Becomes Critical as Agentic AI Moves Into Production
As agentic AI systems shift from pilot projects to real-world deployment, governance is quickly becoming a board-level concern. Unlike traditional AI models that generate content, agentic systems can autonomously invoke tools, access enterprise data and execute actions across business systems — fundamentally changing the risk equation. “As agentic AI moves from experimentation into real-world deployment,…

Open-source benchmark EVMbench tests how well AI agents handle smart contract exploits
Smart contract exploits continue to drain funds from blockchain projects, even as auditing tools and bug bounty programs grow. The problem is tied to how Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) contracts work: code is deployed permanently, runs autonomously, and often controls large pools of assets. That environment has created demand for better ways to measure whether…

In GitHub’s advisory pipeline, some advisories move faster than others
GitHub Security Advisories are used to distribute vulnerability information in open-source projects and security tools. A new study finds that only a portion of those advisories ever pass through GitHub’s formal review process. A large scale view of advisory data A review of GitHub Security Advisories published between 2019 and 2025 examined 288,604 advisories. Of…

The ephemeral infrastructure paradox: Why short-lived systems need stronger identity governance
In my experience leading engineering projects, I have encountered the same pattern repeatedly. We obsess over deployment speed. We measure success in commit velocity and uptime. But we rarely pause to ask the most uncomfortable question in the room: Who actually owns the identities we just spun up? This silence isn’t malicious; it’s structural. We…

Model Context Protocol: Security Risks & Mitigations
AI adoption is moving fast, shifting from pilot projects to the infrastructure-level, day-to-day practice. The budget curve reflects that shift. Gartner expects worldwide AI spending to reach $2.52T in 2026, a 44% year-over-year increase. At the same time, AI cybersecurity spending is expected to grow by more than 90% in 2026, a clear signal that…

Why your AI ambition needs an operational reality check
GUEST OPINION: Organisations continue to adopt artificial intelligence (AI), yet many projects still falter for reasons unrelated to the technology itself. AI is advancing quickly, though it remains a tool, not a cure-all. The real challenge is the growing number of companies deploying AI without a clear strategy for how AI is meant to operate…
