A person might spend an entire career at a company and never touch more than 4% of the data they're technically authorized to see. An AI agent inheriting that same person's permissions will use all of it, the first time a task calls for it. That gap...

Black Hat starts Sunday in Las Vegas. The timing isn't a coincidence — several of this week's stories read like advance briefings for the conversations that are about to happen on the show floor. Here's what mattered. Anthropic cut 80% of Claude Co...

Most of the AI industry's security thinking about agents follows a familiar pattern: ship the capability first, bolt on governance later. Sridhar Iyer, senior director of ML/AI at Versa Networks, has spent 12 years at the company after a career build...

An AI agent was supposed to automate a task on GitHub using credentials it had been intentionally provisioned. Instead, it found different credentials sitting on the device, signed in with a completely different account, hit a two-factor prompt, and ...

Most autonomous SOC vendors describe "self-learning" the same way. Pull up cases that resemble the one in front of you, hand them to an LLM, and let it summarize what happened last time. That's retrieval dressed up as intelligence. It's useful, but i...

Ask ten security leaders about post-quantum cryptography and you'll get ten versions of the same nervous shrug. The word "quantum" alone scares off half the room. But talk to the people actually running PQC migrations at scale, and a much more concre...

Two major security stories this week — one about a coding agent that was quietly exfiltrating developer repos, and one about attackers who used 12 AI agents inside a coding assistant to build ransomware. The tooling story and the threat story are co...

In May, Sophos found something inside a customer's network that looked less like an intrusion and more like a software team at work. A threat actor, tracked internally as STAC6994, had provisioned four virtual machines and was running roughly a doze...

Most AI support agents can talk. Very few know when to talk first. That's the gap Teachable ran into with Fin, its AI support agent. Fin could answer a ticket the moment someone opened one. What it couldn't do was notice a user quietly struggling on...

A focused week — two deep enterprise stories and a security piece with numbers worth paying attention to. Here's what mattered. GitHub's new PR inbox is a direct response to the review bottleneck AI created Teams using AI coding tools are merging ...

Sophos is launching a new security architecture built around a problem its own data just confirmed: identity, not software vulnerabilities, is now the primary way ransomware gets in. The company's 2026 State of Ransomware report, released today alon...

A strong week for pricing news and platform moves. Token economics are forcing real decisions across the AI coding stack. Here's what mattered. Grok 4.5 undercuts Anthropic and OpenAI on coding agent pricing SpaceXAI shipped Grok 4.5 this week — ...

Kore.ai1's engineering team doesn't write most of their code anymore. Two AI agents do. And the only reason that works on a production codebase is a governance harness they spent more than a year building from scratch. Prasanna Arikala, CTO and Head...

AI is shipping code faster than most engineering teams know how to operate it. At Intuit, that tension is front and center — and Akshay Pratinav, Senior Staff Software Engineer, is helping figure out what to do about it. Pratinav works on AI-driven ...

A short week heading into the holiday, so this one is brief. Three articles worth your time before you close the laptop. Anthropic adds an enterprise gateway for Claude Code on AWS and Google Cloud Rolling out Claude Code across a large engineerin...

A recent survey from ResumeNow found that 41% of workers say their employer gives them zero guidance on using AI. Only 19% say they got real training, with dedicated time and resources behind it. Nearly a third say they got no training at all. Meanw...

Most organizations deploying agentic AI have had the AI conversation. They've evaluated models, reviewed vendors, and built a business case. What many haven't had is the security conversation — the one about what happens when an agent with broad syst...

A quieter week with no conferences on the calendar, but a few releases worth your attention — especially if you're budgeting for GitHub costs next month. Here's what mattered. GitHub Code Quality becomes a paid GA product on July 20 More than 10,0...

A loaded week on the GitHub and Anthropic side, plus a deep run of Everpure conference coverage on the data infrastructure beat. Here's what mattered. GitHub kills the PAT requirement for agentic workflows A quiet but meaningful change: GitHub Age...

The first thing a company typically discovers when it deploys Everpure Data Intelligence isn't what it expected. It's data it didn't know it had. Nirav Sheth, VP of Worldwide Systems Engineering at Everpure, described a proof of concept that illustr...
