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…

What works against Mythos today is what worked against ransomware 5 years ago, and malware 10-15 years ago

Residential proxies make a mockery of IP-based defenses

Attack traffic moved through ordinary home and mobile connections in ways that limited the usefulness of IP reputation on its own. GreyNoise observed 4 billion malicious sessions during a 90-day period and described activity that appeared indistinguishable from normal user traffic at the network level. Residential proxies routed traffic through consumer broadband, mobile data, and…
