Agentic Identity Is Not NHI With a Brain

The non-human identity (NHI) problem was always the same problem: too many service accounts, too few owners, too many secrets in too many places. They sat where we left them, quietly piling up privilege, outliving the engineer who created them. Eventually someone, an auditor, sometimes an attacker, went looking and found them. Agents are a different problem.

Defending Against the Next Generation of Agentic Attacks

The attack lifecycle is compressing. Frontier AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5-Cyber can help bad actors research vulnerabilities, test approaches, adapt code, and change delivery methods at machine speed and scale. That reduces the time, skill, and coordination needed to move from vulnerability discovery to active attack. When attacks behave this way, security needs to operate in real time with full visibility and context across the attack path.

Shadow AI Is Already In Your Company - What Can You Do About It?

In this video, you will learn why static domain-blocking strategies fail against the modern Shadow AI ecosystem, how Generative AI wrappers, browser extensions, and personal accounts bypass corporate firewalls without triggering an alert, and why network-layer inspection cannot distinguish proprietary code from public Stack Overflow snippets. We break down the limitations of traditional DLP at the clipboard layer, explain how data lineage replaces application allow-lists, and show how the "Glass House" model lets enterprises enable AI productivity while strictly gating sensitive data movement.

Our comments to NIST: AI agent security starts with human identity verification

AI agents have developed advanced capabilities faster than most would have imagined. In enterprise contexts, workforces are delegating more and more tasks to them. While the promise of increased productivity is enticing, the shift from deterministic automated tools to agentic autonomous systems introduces security risks that most enterprises haven’t prepared for.

OpenAI and the environment AI inherits

AI inherits the access permissions that accumulated quietly in organizations for years. Frontier models eliminate the obscurity that once limited what attackers, and even employees, could reach. Sensitive data, stale service accounts, and unreviewed permissions now surface in seconds. Governing identity and access before connecting AI determines whether frontier models become a force multiplier or a compounding risk.

GitGuardian Just Gave AI Coding Agents Secret Detection Skills

AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Cursor are helping developers write more code faster, but that also means more chances for secrets to slip into prompts, files, commits, and tool outputs. GitGuardian’s new open-source **agent-skills** repository teaches AI agents how to use **ggshield** directly inside the developer workflow: when to scan, how to read findings, and how to guide remediation for leaked credentials.

Agentic AI Security: Governing Shadow Agents on Endpoints

Most enterprise security programs were built around a simple assumption, not invalid assumption that data moves when a person decides to move it. AI agents have broken that model, and now act autonomously, reading files, calling APIs, executing code, and transferring data across systems without waiting for a human to approve each step. Many of these agents were never sanctioned by IT or security.

Ep 44: You can't vibe code your way through a production outage

In this episode of Masters of Data, we tackle one of tech's buzziest debates: vibe coding versus production-ready software. We break down where AI-assisted "just make it work" coding genuinely shines (think POCs, prototypes, and getting stakeholder buy-in fast) and where it falls dangerously short when someone tries to ship it to ten thousand enterprise users. We also dig into David's agentic engineering workflow, security risks like malicious MCP servers and supply chain attacks, and why turning a vibe-coded prototype into real software still takes months, not days. Bottom line.

When AI changes the rules, attackers adapt

The dominant narrative around AI in security is one of emboldened defenders suppressing attackers. Yet, not everyone is convinced the future will be so rosy. In a recent Defender Fridays episode, Josh Neil, Co-founder and CTO of Alpha Level, made an argument that cuts against the celebratory mood: as AI makes known attack vectors harder to use, adversaries don't disappear. They adapt. For MSSPs and SOC teams, an adversary that looks like a user is a harder problem than one that looks like malware.
