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.

Modern organizations don't operate from a single server room anymore. Today's enterprise environment spans dozens of cloud services, SaaS applications, APIs, AI agents, and non-human identities, all of which are continuously changing.

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.

Why Annual Mobile App Security Testing Is Not Enough on Its Own

Aug 20, 2026 By Harshit Agarwal In Appknox
Annual testing secures a moment. Your app keeps changing. Here is how to cover the interval between assessments. An annual penetration test answers a precise question. Was this version of this application secure when a skilled tester examined it? That answer has real value. It is independent, deep, and finds business logic flaws that no scanner will ever surface. It is also a photograph.

Popular Rust crates arrayref, append-only-vec, and internment compromised in Supply Chain Attack

Aug 20, 2026 By Ilyas Makari In Aikido
On August 20, we detected two popular Rust crates from the same maintainer, append-only-vec (4M downloads) and arrayref (244M downloads), were compromised. The attacker added a malicious dependency on a package called proc-macro1, which downloads a remote payload during the build and executes it on the developer's machine.
