The Legitimate Bot Traffic Security Teams Can No Longer Overlook

The Legitimate Bot Traffic Security Teams Can No Longer Overlook

Jan 7, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Security teams have spent years refining their ability to detect and stop malicious bots. That work remains critical. Automated traffic now accounts for more than half of all web traffic, according to Imperva's 2025 Bad Bot Report. What has changed is the scale and influence of legitimate bots and the blind spots they introduce into modern security programs.

Why AI security looks different across the UK, France, Germany, and Australia

Jan 6, 2026 By Vanta In Vanta
Globally, 88% of companies regularly use AI in at least one business function—a 10% increase from the previous year. But as organizations race to adopt new capabilities, we’ve found that the rigor and maturity of AI governance vary widely by region. ‍ The third edition of our State of Trust report reveals how leading AI adopters outside the U.S.—from the UK to Germany, France, and Australia—are approaching AI security and governance in distinct ways.

The Silent Threat to the Agentic Enterprise: Why BOLA is the #1 Risk for AI Agents

Jan 6, 2026 By Eric Schwake In Salt Security
In the race to deploy autonomous AI agents, organizations are inadvertently building on a foundation of shifting sand. While security teams have spent the last year focused on "Prompt Injection" and "Model Poisoning," a much older, more dangerous adversary has quietly become the primary attack vector for the agentic era: Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA).

Model Context Protocol Server: The Universal Remote for AI Agents

Jan 6, 2026 By Exabeam In Exabeam
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as a foundational interoperability layer for agentic AI, embraced by major platform providers. MCP simplifies how AI models connect to external tools and data. Think of it as a universal remote for security platforms: Instead of building fragile, one-off integrations, MCP allows AI to discover and use capabilities dynamically. For SIEM and detection providers, this shift is significant.

Will AI agents 'get real' in 2026?

Jan 6, 2026 By Kaitlin Harvey In CyberArk
In my house, we consume a lot of AI research. We also watch a lot—probably too much—TV. Late in 2025, those worlds collided when the AI giant Anthropic was featured on “60 Minutes.” My husband tried to scroll past it, but I snatched the controller away, unable to resist a headline calling out the first widely acknowledged case of an “agentic AI cyberattack.” The framing itself was irresistible, a milestone moment in the rapid acceleration of AI.
