How SLED can win the cybersecurity race with agentic AI

Aug 21, 2026 By Bobby Suber In Elastic
Adversaries are using AI to launch cyber attacks in record time, forcing security teams to measure responses in minutes instead of months. Phishing campaigns built with large language models (LLMs) achieve click-through rates 4.5 times higher than traditional methods,1 and the average time between initial compromise and lateral movement has fallen to just 29 minutes.2 This is a 65% increase from the prior year.2 State and local governments and higher education institutions are at an inflection point.

How autonomous pentesting kills false positives

Aug 21, 2026 By Ephrim Holyson In Astra
Ask any security engineer what they actually think about their vulnerability scanner, and you will get a version of the same answer. They trust maybe 20% of what shows up in the patching queue. The rest gets a suspicious glance, and a slow death in a backlog. That is the real cost of a false positive. It is quiet, it compounds, and it hollows the tool out from the inside. It is also the reason autonomous pentesting came to replace hypotheses with confirmed exploits.

What Counts as One AI Asset? Getting the Unit Right

Aug 21, 2026 By Kovrr In Kovrr
Two teams inventory the same organization and return different numbers. One counts forty-one AI assets, the other counts one hundred and twelve. Neither is wrong, because they counted different things, and nobody had decided what a row represents. ‍ Guidance on building an AI inventory covers which fields a row should carry and skips what a row is. That question determines the count, the risk scores, the regulatory classification and whether two inventories can ever be reconciled.

AI Prompt Data Leakage: How to Secure Sensitive Data in LLMs

Aug 21, 2026 By Teramind In Teramind
As generative AI adoption surges, so does a dangerous new enterprise risk: AI prompt data leakage — the unintentional exposure of confidential corporate data to third-party Large Language Models via user prompts. Why does it happen? Driven by productivity pressure and the need to speed up their work, employees routinely bypass traditional DLP controls.

Propagating User Identity From AI Agents to Your Tools: Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway and JFrog Artifactory

Aug 21, 2026 By Carmit Hershman In JFrog
Join us at swampUP New York, September 1-3, for our joint session Trusted AI Delivery at Scale: Securing Every Artifact from Curation to Cloud, where we walk the full chain of custody from the moment a package enters your organization to the moment your agent runs on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. Register here. AI agents are becoming real users of internal systems. They open pull requests, run queries, and pull and publish artifacts in repositories like JFrog Artifactory.

AI Isn't Creating New Cyberattacks. It's Changing How They Operate

Aug 21, 2026 By Iratxe Vazquez In WatchGuard
Artificial Intelligence has quickly become one of the most important conversations in cybersecurity. Much of that conversation focuses on what attackers might create next: AI-generated malware, deepfakes, autonomous attacks, or entirely new categories of threats. Those risks matter, but focusing only on new attack techniques misses a much larger transformation already taking place. The real impact of AI is not only what attackers can create. It is how efficiently they can operate.

Secure AI Written Code Before It Ships: Salt Code

Aug 20, 2026 By Salt Security In Salt Security
AI coding assistants are transforming how enterprise software gets built. Developers at every level are prompting their way to production-ready APIs, MCP integrations, and agentic workflows faster than any security team can review them. The problem is that none of those assistants knows your internal security standards, regulatory obligations, or risk tolerance. The result is insecure patterns shipping unnoticed, vulnerabilities discovered downstream when fixes are costly, and compliance becoming a guessing game on every commit.

451 Research report: How agentic AI is redefining identity security

Aug 20, 2026 By 1Password In 1Password
In the short time that AI agents have been a part of the enterprise, they have upended many of our bedrock assumptions about the nature of identity, access, development, and work itself. At 1Password, we’ve been in the trenches of the agentic revolution; we’ve seen its positive impact on productivity, and the serious concerns it raises about security.

The Rise of the 'Non-Human Insider': When AI Agents Become the Threat

Aug 20, 2026 By Erich Kron In KnowBe4
For years, cybersecurity has had a familiar villain: the external attacker. The hacker breaking through the firewall, stealing credentials or exploiting an unpatched vulnerability. It is the scenario we have trained for, built defenses around and spent decades trying to prevent. But the next major breach may not begin with someone breaking into your environment at all, it may begin with an AI agent that already has access.
