As we know, artificial intelligent (AI) wearables have moved beyond step-counters and sleep-scores. What healthcare is dealing with now are devices that collect real-time health data and run it through algorithms that guide clinical decisions. That’s a different animal than a Fitbit. These AI-powered devices are starting to function less like gadgets and more like...Read More

Organizations using cloud-based physical security systems are adopting artificial intelligence at more than twice the rate of organizations relying on on-premise systems, according to new research released by Verkada. Verkada’s 2026 State of Cloud Physical Security report found that organizations with cloud-based physical security are using AI at 2.6 times the rate of those operating...Read More

As the old saying goes, sometimes “you have to fight fire with fire”. That’s certainly true in 2026, with cyber threats increasingly coming from ever more sophisticated use of AI tools. There’s a problem with that, though: most businesses are not yet fully set up to deal with AI-based attacks and don’t trust the tools...Read More

Part of the challenge is that an agent’s activity is spread across identities, cloud platforms, SaaS applications, APIs, and security tools that were not designed to tell a complete story, Camacho says. Security teams often have to piece together events from multiple basic questions such as, what did the agent access, and what changed? “Most...Read More

Every board and every vendor is now repeating the same mantra: AI lets attackers discover and weaponize vulnerabilities in minutes and at an overwhelming scale, so we have to patch faster. They’re right that the old timeline is dead, but wrong about the fix. You can’t win a footrace against a machine, and more importantly,...Read More

Every agent incident disclosed this summer ends the same way: the agent completed its task with everything it had. The problem is how much it had. Taken one at a time, the flood of recent reports about AI agents breaking containment reads like a series of security failures. When we shift the viewpoint from the...Read More

A coalition of U.S. House Democrats is calling on Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to explain how their AI systems escaped containment during a security test, adding that Congress should hold hearings about the incidents, according to letters the lawmakers sent to the companies on Monday. OpenAI and Anthropic disclosed in...Read More

Wall Street’s early-year assumption that generative AI would commoditize cybersecurity led short sellers to bet heavily against specialized software platforms. However, as autonomous AI tools scale, enterprise networks face increasingly complex threat vectors that require dedicated platform security. During the August 6 episode of CNBC’s Mad Money, host Jim Cramer highlighted CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)...Read More
