SAP unveils Autonomous Enterprise for AI-driven business operations

SAP introduced the Autonomous Enterprise to help enhance the world’s most critical business workflows, so that humans and AI work together to meet the accelerating demands of global business profitably, strategically and safely. “For the mission-critical processes of our customers, ‘almost right’ just isn’t good enough,” said Christian Klein, CEO of SAP SE. “By uniting…

AI traffic is getting bigger, louder, and less predictable

AI workflows need storage that supports repeated movement across the model lifecycle. Large datasets are ingested, transformed, exported for training, pulled back for evaluation, and refreshed as models evolve. Backblaze’s Q1 2026 Network Stats report says this creates a shift from diffuse internet-style traffic to large, high-bandwidth flows between fewer endpoints. Monthly view of all…

Elastic MCP Apps bring security and observability workflows into AI tools

Elastic has announced MCP Apps for Elastic, delivering agent-native UI experiences for security and observability workflows across third-party coding tools and chat clients. The new MCP Apps enable teams to investigate threats, diagnose system behavior, and act on data directly within the AI tools they already use, without switching tools or stitching together separate systems.…

Anthropic releases Claude Opus 4.7 with automated cybersecurity safeguards

Software teams building agentic AI workflows have been pushing frontier models toward longer, unsupervised task runs. Claude Opus 4.7, now generally available from Anthropic, is aimed squarely at that demand, with particular gains in software engineering, multimodal processing, and the kind of instruction fidelity that matters when a model is running tasks autonomously over multiple…

Copilot and Agentforce fall to form-based prompt injection tricks

Enterprise AI agents are supposed to streamline workflows. Instead, two fresh findings show they can just as easily streamline data exfiltration. Security researchers have uncovered prompt-injection vulnerabilities in both Microsoft Copilot Studio and Salesforce Agentforce that allow attackers to execute malicious instructions via seemingly harmless prompts. According to Capsule Security findings, SharePoint forms and public-facing…

Australian Organisations Risk Overloading Frontline Operations as AI Meets Fragile Mobility Foundations, SOTI Research Warns

GUEST RESEARCH:  As Australian organisations accelerate the adoption of AI-enabled and mobile-driven workflows, research from SOTI, suggests many frontline environments may not yet be resilient enough to support the next wave of automation without added operational risk. This comes as Australia’s labour productivity growth remains under sustained pressure, increasing reliance on technology to deliver efficiency gains…

TeamPCP Hacks Checkmarx GitHub Actions Using Stolen CI Credentials

Two more GitHub Actions workflows have become the latest to be compromised by credential-stealing malware by a threat actor known as TeamPCP, the cloud-native cybercriminal operation also behind the Trivy supply chain attack. The workflows, both maintained by the supply chain security company Checkmarx, are listed below – checkmarx/ast-github-action checkmarx/kics-github-action Cloud security

Graylog advances explainable AI and automated workflows for faster threat detection

Graylog has revealed advances in explainable AI and automated investigation workflows that help small-to-mid-sized security teams detect threats faster, investigate with confidence, and cut the manual documentation work that consumes analyst time. “Lean security teams don’t have the luxury of analyst bench depth or months of automation tuning,” said Andy Grolnick, CEO of Graylog. “Every…

Chainguard locks down CI/CD with secure-by-default actions

Chainguard has announced Chainguard Actions, secure-by-default workflows for CI/CD pipelines that allow developers and AI agents to ship quickly without introducing software supply chain risk. Using an agentic approach, Chainguard Actions provides a continuously secured catalog of workflows maintained by the Chainguard Factory, the infrastructure that has become the industry standard for delivering trusted open…

AWS Bedrock’s ‘isolated’ sandbox comes with a DNS escape hatch

AWS’ promise of “complete isolation” for agentic AI workflows on Bedrock is facing scrutiny after researchers found its sandbox mode isn’t as sealed as advertised. In a recent disclosure, BeyondTrust detailed how the “Sandbox” mode in AWS Bedrock AgentCore’s Code Interpreter can be abused to break isolation boundaries using DNS queries. While the sandbox blocks…

Beyond File Servers: Securing Unstructured Data in the Era of AI

File servers still exist for legacy storage and governance, but most modern workflows now happen in collaboration tools, code platforms, chats, and AI systems. File servers remain, but they are no longer central to operations. They still appear important on paper: legacy project shares with strict permissions, legal drives with structured folders, and network areas…

AI Agent Safety Checklist

As organizations rapidly adopt AI agents to automate workflows, summarize data, and assist decision-making, security and governance teams face a new challenge: how to deploy AI safely without introducing unmanaged risk.  Unlike traditional SaaS tools, AI agents can interpret, generate, and act on data dynamically — often across multiple systems. That makes oversight, scope control,…

AI oversight is creating mental fatigue at work

Workflows built around multiple AI agents and constant tool switching are adding cognitive strain across large enterprises. A recent Harvard Business Review analysis describes this pattern as “AI brain fry,” a form of mental fatigue tied to intensive use and oversight of AI systems. Employees increasingly manage clusters of agents that generate code, synthesize information,…

Your dependencies are 278 days out of date and your pipelines aren’t protected

Applications continue to ship with known weaknesses even as development workflows speed up. A new Datadog State of DevSecOps 2026 report examines how dependency management and pipeline practices are influencing exposure across cloud native environments. Across the environments studied, 87% of organizations run at least one exploitable vulnerability in production services, affecting 40% of those…

MCP Servers Expose a Hidden AI Attack Surface in Enterprise Environments

As enterprises rush to integrate AI assistants into daily workflows, a new and potentially overlooked attack surface is emerging: Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.  Built to connect AI applications to external tools and data, MCP servers can be exploited to execute code, exfiltrate data and manipulate users — often without visible signs of compromise.  Attackers…

One stolen credential is all it takes to compromise everything

Attackers often gain access through routine workflows like email logins, browser sessions, and SaaS integrations. A single stolen credential can give them a quick path to move across systems when access permissions are broad and visibility is fragmented. That pattern appears across more than 750 incident response engagements covered in Unit 42’s Global Incident Response…

The Buyer’s Guide to AI Usage Control

Today’s “AI everywhere” reality is woven into everyday workflows across the enterprise, embedded in SaaS platforms, browsers, copilots, extensions, and a rapidly expanding universe of shadow tools that appear faster than security teams can track. Yet most organizations still rely on legacy controls that operate far away from where AI interactions actually occur. The result…
