AI is separating the companies built to scale from the ones built to sell

If you had time to walk the expo floor at this year’s RSA Conference, it was impossible to miss the shift in our industry. Artificial intelligence has moved from an emerging layer to the foundation of what powers cybersecurity companies. But from our vantage point as investors who work closely with founders and operators, the bigger…

FIRESIDE CHAT: Leaked secrets are now the go-to attack vector — and AI is accelerating exposures

A consequential shift is underway in how enterprise breaches begin. The leaked credential — once treated as a hygiene problem — has become the primary on-ramp. Related: No easy fixes for AI risk Last August’s Salesloft campaign was the pattern in miniature. Stolen OAuth tokens from one chatbot vendor pulled Salesforce data from 760 enterprise…

A dozen allied agencies say China is building covert hacker networks out of everyday routers

U.S. and international government agencies warned Thursday about a “widespread shift” in Chinese hacker methods toward the use of large-scale covert networks that compromise common devices to carry out a variety of attacks. The advisory details how those networks work, and defensive steps organizations should take. “Over the past few years there has been a…

As Pharmacists Step Up to Full Scope and Women’s Health, Modentity Clears the Path

The Australian Pharmacy Professional Conference (APP2026) has shone a spotlight on a defining shift for the profession: the expansion of pharmacists into full scope clinical services, including women’s health, UTI prescribing, oral contraceptive management, and extended immunisation programs. But as pharmacists are asked to do more than ever before, the industry is confronting a critical…

How botnet-driven DDoS attacks evolved in 2H 2025

The second half of 2025 marked a pivotal shift in the world of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Organizations across the globe faced a perfect storm: Artificial intelligence (AI) matured as an offensive weapon, botnet infrastructure reached new heights with multiterabit attack capacity, and DDoS-for-hire services became more accessible—even to nontechnical adversaries. NETSCOUT’s ATLAS global threat intelligence…

Anthropic’s AI Push Signals Major Shift for Channel Partners

Anthropic is rapidly scaling both the infrastructure and security footprint of its AI business, signaling a shift that could reshape how enterprises—and their channel partners—approach both compute and cyber risk. The company this week announced a massive expansion of TPU capacity through Google and Broadcom while simultaneously launching Project Glasswing, a sweeping industry collaboration aimed…

Four security principles for agentic AI systems

Agentic AI represents a qualitative shift in how software operates. Traditional software executes deterministic instructions. Generative AI responds to human prompts with output that humans review and use at their discretion. Agentic AI differs from both. Agents connect to software tools and APIs and uses large language models (LLMs) as reasoning engines to plan and…

CCTV Crackdown: India Moves to Block Chinese Surveillance Cameras

India is preparing for a major shift in its surveillance ecosystem as the government tightens rules around internet-connected CCTV cameras. The move is primarily aimed at addressing rising concerns over national security and data privacy risks linked to foreign-made devices. Authorities have found that several widely used CCTV systems may not be as secure as…

Zluri addresses expanding identity attack surface across SaaS, cloud, and AI

Enterprise identity is undergoing a fundamental shift. Employees are no longer the only identities operating inside organizations. Service accounts, machine identities, application integrations, and AI agents now interact with enterprise systems at scale, accelerating the growth of non-human identities and expanding the identity attack surface across SaaS applications, cloud infrastructure, and on-premises systems. To address…

With attention shifting to AI smart glasses, VR faces another reality check

As tech vendors shift their attention to AI-enabled smart glasses, the momentum behind virtual reality (VR) headsets appears to slowing once again. It’s not the first time the technology has seen expectations outstrip real-world demand. An initial wave of interest in the early 1990s generated predictions of mainstream adoption, before fading as the decade progressed. …

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,…

Hackers steal OpenClaw configuration in emerging AI agent threat

Researchers found an infostealer stole a victim’s OpenClaw configuration, marking a shift toward targeting personal AI agents. Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new information stealer that exfiltrated a victim’s OpenClaw configuration environment, previously known as Clawdbot and Moltbot. According to cybersecurity firm Hudson Rock, the case highlights a new shift in infostealer activity, moving beyond…
