New research from cybersecurity company Heimdal finds 29% of US executives say AI risk is under control, against 7% of the practitioners running it day-to-day. Across 1,000 IT professionals in the UK and US, AI adoption has outpaced security controls by roughly two to one.

In recent months, there has been plenty of speculation about whether the industry is in the middle of an "AI bubble," often fuelled by questions about whether massive infrastructure investments are matched by real demand. Yet current developments suggest this is not the case: the ecosystem around AI continues to expand at a pace that indicates longterm structural change rather than shortterm hype.

Aembit on Tuesday announced support for Copilot Studio, extending its identity and access management capabilities to Microsoft's enterprise AI agent platform. The integration, unveiled at Identiverse 2026, gives security teams the tools to manage what Copilot Studio agents can access, under what conditions, and with a complete record of every decision. The company also released an interactive enterprise AI readiness checklist to help organizations assess their agent deployments before they go into production.

Two foundational identity concepts - controlling the scope of agent roles and constraining what they can access - now have a production implementation in Beams, Teleport's trusted, ephemeral agent runtime.
