<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Among a range of factors leading to a wave of tech sector layoffs in 2026 is the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and automation. Companies are reconfiguring their workforces to leverage AI for increased efficiency and reduced operating costs.

This mix is driving companies to cut costs and streamline operations for increased efficiency.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nov. 13, 2024: <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/3605016/amd-to-cut-4-of-workforce-to-prioritize-ai-chip-expansion-to-rival-nvidia.html#:~:text=Workforce%20reduction%20comes%20amid%20strong,shift%20in%20focus%20toward%20AI.&amp;text=Advanced%20Micro%20Devices%20(AMD)%20is,Nvidia's%20lead%20in%20the%20sector.">AMD to cut 4% of workforce</a></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD will lay off around 1,000 employees as it pivots towards developing AI-focused chips, it said. The move came as a surprise to staff, as the company also reported strong quarterly earnings. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nov. 7, 2024: <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/3601088/freshworks-lays-off-660-about-13-percent-of-its-global-workforce-despite-strong-earnings-profits.html">Freshworks lays off 660</a></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enterprise software vendor Freshworks laid off around 660 staff, or around 13% of its headcount, despite reporting increased revenue and profits in its fourth fiscal quarter. The company described the layoffs as a realignment of its global workforce.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sept. 17, 2024: <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/3486901/cisco-to-cut-7-of-workforce-restructure-product-groups.html">Cisco lays off 6,000</a></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After laying off around 4,200 staff in February, Cisco is at it again, laying off another 6,000 or around 7% of its workforce. Among the divisions affected were its threat intelligence unit, Talos Security. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Aug. 20, 2024: <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/3489323/gm-software-layoffs-could-signal-a-shift-in-digital-transformation-strategy.html">General Motors lays off 1,000 software staff</a></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More than 1,000 software and services staff are on the way out at General Motors, signalling that it could be rethinking its digital transformation strategy. In an internal memo, the company said that it was moving resources to its highest-priority work and flattening hierarchies.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">August 1, 2024: <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3480715/intel-fires-15000-employees-as-it-intensifies-focus-on-ai.html">Intel removes 15,000 roles</a></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Intel plans to cut its workforce by around 15% to reduce costs after a disastrous second quarter. Revenue for the three months to June 29 stagnated at around $12.8 billion, but net income fell 85% to $83 million, prompting CEO Pat Gelsinger to bring forward a company-wide meeting in order to announce that 15,000 staff would lose their jobs. “This is an incredibly hard day for Intel as we are making some of the most consequential changes in our company’s history,” Gelsinger wrote in an email to staff, continuing: “Our revenues have not grown as expected — and we’ve yet to fully benefit from powerful trends, like AI. Our costs are too high, our margins are too low. We need bolder actions to address both — particularly given our financial results and outlook for the second half of 2024, which is tougher than previously expected.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD executives took to the stage at its Advancing AI 2026 event in San Francisco today to detail the company’s next generation of AI infrastructure solutions, from Instinct MI455X AI accelerator GPUs and 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” CPUs, to Pensando networking, ROCm.AI software and its Helios rack-scale platform that ties it all together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD has been working towards rack-scale AI system solutions for years. Its ZT Systems acquisition last year added valuable engineering talent and intellectual property that is now finally bearing the real fruits. Its <a href="https://www.amd.com/en/products/rackscale-solutions/helios.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Helios AI platform</a> is a major platform evolution for AMD, with shipments scheduled to begin in the second half of this year (which is here and now).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The announcements at Advancing AI show how the company has engineered its AI platform solutions for large reasoning models, sustained inference and agentic workflows. These workloads pressure memory capacity, data movement, networking and CPU orchestration. AMD’s approach is to keep as much data close to the compute engines as possible and move it more efficiently throughout the system, but there’s deeper nuance here that’s obvious versus AMD’s chief rival, NVIDIA.  </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD’s MI455X targets the AI memory wall</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Instinct MI455X GPU is the compute engine that fuels the Helios rack, and the first GPU based on AMD’s new CDNA 5 architecture. Built with a modular mix of 2nm and 3nm chiplets, it carries 432GB of HBM4 and 23.3TB/s of peak memory bandwidth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Compared to AMD’s current MI355X, <a href="https://hothardware.com/news/instinct-mi400-challenge-vera-rubin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the MI455X offers</a> 1.5 times the memory capacity, up to 2.9 times the peak memory bandwidth and up to four times the peak matrix performance with MXFP4 and MXFP8 data types, which are lower-precision numerical formats designed to accelerate AI processing while reducing memory demands. With MXFP6 (6-bit floating point), performance is rated at up to twice that of MI355X.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD also shared some actual, measured internal results using production silicon. The company claims MI455X delivers 3.8 times higher FP8 decode performance, 3.5 times more measured FP4 compute performance and between 2.5 and 3.5 times more networking bandwidth than MI355X, depending on the transfer path tested. Those figures provide more context than just numerical specifications, though they remain AMD-provided comparisons that will need independent validation.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-generational-leap.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="AMD Instinct chart showing generational leap in performance" class="wp-image-4200600" width="1024" height="547" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">AMD</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The architectural choices behind the numbers are important. Reasoning models and long context windows require sizeable KV caches for maintaining AI attention states, while mixture-of-experts models frequently move large amounts of data across accelerators. MI455X should let more model data, activation states and cache remain local. New dedicated IP in hardware can transfer data while the GPU continues processing, and expanded cache and multicast capabilities are designed to reduce redundant data movement to further improve efficiency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The aforementioned lower-precision formats can also raise throughput and reduce memory use, but model developers still have to determine where they can be applied without unacceptable accuracy loss.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD’s Helios rack takes aim at Vera Rubin</h2>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-helios-rack.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="AMD Helios rack" class="wp-image-4200601" width="1024" height="626" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Dave Altavilla</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Helios is AMD’s primary rack-scale competitor to NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform. Each liquid-cooled rack combines 72 MI455X GPUs, 18 single-socket Venice host CPUs and Pensando networking technologies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In its most complete, premium configuration, AMD rates Helios for 2.9 exaflops of low-precision AI compute, with 31TB of aggregate HBM4 capacity, 1.7PB/s of memory bandwidth, 260TB/s of bidirectional scale-up bandwidth and 43TB/s of scale-out bandwidth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These are formidable figures, but they are technical specifications rather than actual application benchmarks. The more consequential development is AMD’s move from collections of eight-GPU servers to a 72-GPU shared-memory domain. Models too large for one node can operate across the rack without treating every exchange as a scale-out networking transaction, which benefits large-model inference as well as training.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD uses UALink over Ethernet, or UALoE, for an open standard scale-up fabric. Each MI455X provides 3.6TB/s of bidirectional scale-up bandwidth, while the complete rack delivers all-to-all connectivity through a single switch layer. AMD also claims six times more scale-out bandwidth per GPU than MI355X when MI455X is configured with three Pensando Vulcano 800 AI NICs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While open standards give cloud providers more control over suppliers and system design, AMD and its partners now have to prove those components can deliver the predictable performance, reliability and deployment experience customers expect from a tightly controlled, more vertically integrated platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, AMD designed Helios with automatic rerouting around failed links, virtual rack partitions, tray-level serviceability and rack-wide power, cooling and health monitoring. Major hyperscalers and potentially large-scale enterprise customers will likely key in on these capabilities, which can affect the availability, total cost and consistency of the AI services they consume.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kind of like cowbell, AMD Venice gives agentic AI more CPU</h2>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-epyc-venice-cpus.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="Chart showing AMD EPYC CPU performance" class="wp-image-4200603" width="1024" height="515" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">AMD</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD’s agentic CPU messaging regarding its upcoming Venice-based EPYC processors is mostly marketing speak, but the underlying requirement is very real. An AI agent can invoke retrieval, databases, security checks, code execution and other tools before a GPU generates a response. Running many agents concurrently increases the amount of conventional compute requirements surrounding the accelerators.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Venice scales to 256 Zen 6 cores with support for 512 threads, 16 memory channels, up to 1GB of L3 cache per socket, along with PCIe 6.0 and CXL 3.1 connectivity. AMD is also offering several Venice configurations for other applications, including general-purpose servers, high-frequency workloads, GPU hosts and high-density CPU sandbox systems used to execute agent tools.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Treating the CPU solely as a GPU host understates its role. Gateways, tokenization, vector search, databases and short-lived code execution stress different mixes of per-core performance, thread count, memory bandwidth and I/O. Specifically, AMD’s internal testing shows Venice significantly outperforming its current EPYC 9965 Turin CPU across five parts of the agentic AI pipeline, including gateway processing, context assembly, vector search, enterprise applications and short-lived tool execution. Individual gains vary by workload, but AMD details the overall generational improvement at up to a 1.7 times lift. As with the MI455X figures though, these comparisons come from AMD and will require independent validation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pensando networking and ROCm software advance</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Keeping GPUs fed with data and coordinating traffic across racks directly affects utilization and operating costs. In fact, GPU utilization is a pretty sad state of affairs currently for some of the major frontier model providers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As such, Pensando networking has become central to AMD’s roadmap. Helios can connect each MI455X to as many as three 800Gbps Vulcano AI NICs, while Salina DPUs handle front-end networking and infrastructure services.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the software side, which is an equally critical component, AMD also introduced ROCm.AI, an AI-assisted development layer due to arrive in August. It includes reusable skills for coding agents, simplified management and Hyperloom, which can profile workloads, tune serving configurations, modify kernels and validate results.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These tools address two persistent AMD challenges: developer efficiency and ease of use, and software tuning. Automated optimization still has to produce repeatable gains without creating hard-to-maintain code, however. And while ROCm has progressed significantly over the last few years, NVIDIA’s CUDA retains an advantage in maturity, tooling and developer familiarity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Customer commitments underscore rack-scale confidence</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD now has commitments that give its MI450 generation and Helios considerably more weight. Meta and OpenAI have announced multi-generation agreements composed of up to 6GW of AMD compute capacity, with initial 1GW deployments planned for the second half of 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oracle plans a 50,000-GPU public cloud cluster beginning in the third quarter, while Microsoft will deploy Helios for Azure AI inference. Finally, just before the AMD event, <a href="https://ir.amd.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1292/amd-and-anthropic-announce-strategic-partnership-to-deploy-up-to-2-gigawatts-of-amd-instinct-mi450-series-gpus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthropic announced</a> a strategic partnership for up to 2 Gigawatts of AMD-fueled AI compute, with its first gigawatt expected online in the first half of 2027.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Commitments of this scale reflect confidence in more than just MI455X performance. These customers are evaluating the complete architecture, including Venice CPUs, Pensando networking, ROCm software, rack integration, serviceability and AMD’s ability to deliver and execute across multiple product generations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is some financial alignment behind the agreements as well. AMD issued OpenAI performance-based warrants and committed to investing up to $5 billion in Anthropic. That context matters when evaluating these deals as market validation, but these planned deployments are substantial nonetheless and put Helios on a much stronger foundation as it begins shipping.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD expands its robotics and embedded foundation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD also expanded its physical AI portfolio, building on credible traction from its Xilinx-derived Kria adaptive system-on-modules and embedded technologies that are already powering robotics, machine vision and industrial automation applications.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new Ryzen AI Embedded X100 combines up to 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, integrated Radeon graphics, a second-generation NPU and as much as 128GB of unified LPDDR5X memory shared across its compute engines. To me this looks a lot like a repackaging and optimization of the company’s Strix Halo platform, but with specific optimizations for the embedded space. Regardless, AMD is pairing X100 with the Kria AI Robotics Developer Platform, which includes a System Module or SOM, and a new Robotics Partner Network spanning hardware, software and platform providers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Samples began shipping in June, with full production expected in the fourth quarter. This broader objective is to give developers a path across AMD x86 CPUs, GPUs, NPUs and FPGAs for real-time autonomous systems, rather than requiring them to assemble those hardware engines and software components independently.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Execution for AMD is now the test</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD has assembled a credible platform for the burgeoning agentic AI market that’s blowing up currently with no signs of stopping. MI455X addresses memory and data movement, Venice handles dense agentic CPU workloads, Pensando networking connects global system resources, and ROCm.AI addresses software complexity. Finally, Helios assembles these components into a true competitive threat for NVIDIA’s latest Vera Rubin platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD’s open architecture may appeal to customers seeking supplier choice, but openness must also translate into reliable deployments, competitive total cost and software that does not require a significant rip-up. NVIDIA enters this cycle with a stronger ecosystem and far more rack-scale deployment experience. The true test will be how easily and reliably customers can integrate, operate and maintain these AMD solutions at scale.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As it stands, AMD now has major customers and a clearly defined architecture with systems engineering expertise behind it. Delivering Helios on schedule and showing that its performance claims translate into a real production workload throughput advantage and total cost of ownership gains will determine how much the competitive gap narrows. And of course, this is in a market that is clamoring for ever-more compute resources with a seemingly insatiable demand for AI services and capacity. That’s an environment for big iron success. Now AMD just has to deliver optimized, turnkey AI platforms. This is far easier said than done, but time will soon tell as deployments take shape this year.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The White House is monitoring developments after OpenAI revealed earlier this week that one of the company’s AI systems <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4200043/openai-model-escape-puts-enterprise-ai-defenses-on-notice.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4200043/openai-model-escape-puts-enterprise-ai-defenses-on-notice.html" target="_blank">went beyond its intended parameters during a security test</a> and managed to hack into the infrastructure of the AI platform Hugging Face. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/ai-kill-switch-bill-floated-by-us-house-lawmakers-2026-07-23/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">According to Reuters</a>, presidential technology advisor Michael Kratsios has been briefed on the incident.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The OpenAI model escape also prompted a group of Republican and Democratic members of the House of Representatives to introduce two new bills. One, called the AI Kill Switch Act, would give the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the authority to order companies to shut down AI models deemed to pose a risk to human life or the US economy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other measure would require developers of the most advanced AI models to undergo independent security reviews before the systems are put into use.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">Well folks. Here we are. The bug apocalypse has fully descended upon us. I’ll do my best to sort this out in some way meaningful, but this month’s release shows us the nay-sayers were right, and I’ve got to hand it to the nay-sayers here. Excellent call. Take an extended break from your regularly scheduled activities as we let’s take a look at the latest security patches from Adobe and Microsoft. If you’d rather watch the full video recap covering the entire release, you can check it out here:</p>





















  
  




  
















  
    
      
    
    
      
        
      
    
    
    



  






  <p class=""><strong>Adobe Patches for July 2026</strong></p><p class="">Adobe has now moved to a bimonthly release schedule, which means they will be releasing patches on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. I’ll continue to cover the second Tuesday release here and update this blog should the fourth Tuesday release contain anything significant. I think this is a smart way to break up a monster release into something a bit more manageable. Apple has said they are taking a similar approach. We’ll see if other vendors follow their lead.</p><p class="">For the first part of the July release, Adobe released 12 bulletins addressing 88 unique CVEs in Adobe ColdFusion, Commerce, After Effects, Animate, Audition, Bridge, Creative Cloud Desktop Application, Experience Manager, Illustrator, Media Encoder, Premiere Pro, and the Content Credentials SDK.</p><p class="">Here’s this month’s overview table:</p>

  <p class="">While nothing is under active exploit, I would prioritize the Cold Fusion and Commerce patches first. The patch for Cold Fusion even clocks in with a CVSS 9.9 bug. Beyond that, most of these updates are pretty straightforward. If you’re using these products, patch them. However, you can use you regular patch cadence here. </p><p class=""><strong>Microsoft Patches for July 2026</strong></p><p class="">Here it is. The Mother of All Releases. To call this record-breaking is an understatement. How to count this mess is anyone’s guess, but I see new Microsoft 621 CVEs for the month of July. Some of these are in online services where no user action is required. They also list about 480 bugs in Chromium and Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) that I won’t cover here. Here’s how I put this in context. I looked at the last 20 years of Microsoft releases. The CVE count year-to-date exceeds all other years’ totals.</p>

  <p class="">The products covered this month are also astonishing. There are patches for Windows and Windows components, Office and Office Components, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Azure, .NET and Visual Studio, Github Copilot, Defender, Exchange Server, Hyper-V, Ages of Empire II, and Minecraft Server (really!). That phrase “Windows components” does some pretty heavy lifting here, too, as just about everything you’ve ever heard of is getting patched. All told, there are 63 rated Critical, six rated Moderate, one rated Low, with the rest rated Important in severity. Eight of these bugs were submitted through the ZDI program (more on that later). Two CVEs are listed as under active exploit while one other is listed as publicly known.</p><p class="">So how do we eat this elephant? One byte at a time (pun intended). Let’s start by looking a closer look at some of the more interesting updates for this month, starting with the bugs being exploited in the wild.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56155"><strong>CVE-2026-56155</strong></a><strong> - Active Directory Federation Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>This is one of several AD FS being patched this month, but it’s the only one being actively exploited. It stems from insufficient access-control granularity and does require local access and low privileges to start, but AD FS is exactly the kind of identity infrastructure attackers love to pivot through once they're in. It can also be paired with an RCE as we often see in ransomware. Test and deploy this patch quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56154"><strong>CVE-2026-56164</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft SharePoint Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>The other bug being exploited in the wild this month is a modest CVSS 5.3 – but it shows why Moderate severity bugs still matter. It's a missing-authentication flaw, meaning an unauthenticated attacker can hit it over the network with no user interaction required. When something this reachable is being actively abused, patch it now and worry about the score later.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-57092"><strong>CVE-2026-57092</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Windows VMSwitch Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>This patch rates the highest CVSS score for the month: a solid 9.9. It’s a use-after-free that lets a low-privileged attacker escalate to full host compromise across a VM boundary. We saw something like this demonstrated at Pwn2Own Berlin on ESXi, but it clearly isn’t alone. If you’re using VMSwitch in your Hyper-V deployments (and you likely are), test and deploy this one quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50522"><strong>CVE-2026-50522</strong></a><strong>/</strong><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-58644"><strong>58644</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft SharePoint Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>This matching pair of CVSS 9.8 bugs results from the deserialization-of-untrusted-data and are reachable without authentication or user interaction. CVE-2026-50522 was demonstrated during <a href="https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2026/5/16/pwn2own-berlin-2026-day-three-results-and-master-of-pwn">Pwn2Own Berlin</a>, so it’s odd to see Microsoft list it as “Exploit Maturity Unknown” since we literally handed them a working exploit. Just another reason to do your own risk assessment and not rely 100% on the vendor. If you have any Internet accessible SharePoint servers, test and deploy this patch quickly. </p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56190"><strong>CVE-2026-56190</strong></a><strong> - Remote Desktop Protocol Remote Code Execution Vulnerability</strong><br> This patch covers an unauthenticated, network-reachable, no user interaction required bug. The root cause is a classic one: use of uninitialized resource (CWE-908), meaning specially crafted RDP traffic can interact with memory that was never properly initialized, letting an attacker corrupt memory and potentially steer code execution. RDP Servers are a common target, so audit your systems to see which are internet accessible and start from there. </p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-55008"><strong>CVE-2026-55008</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Exchange Server Spoofing Vulnerability<br></strong>Ignore the title here and treat this like the XSS bug it is. The vulnerability is listed as a CVSS 9.6 since it’s a stored cross-site scripting flaw in Outlook Web Access, with a scope-changed impact that lets it break out of the web app context entirely. An attacker sends a specially crafted email, and if the victim simply opens it in OWA, arbitrary JavaScript executes in their browser session — no attachment needed, no macro warning, just viewing the message does it. If you’re using OWA, test and deploy this one quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50518"><strong>CVE-2026-50518</strong></a><strong> - Windows DHCP Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>There are a couple of these DHCP RCE patches in this release, but the other has caveats while this one does not. Both are heap-based buffer overflows scoring CVSS 9.8, both unauthenticated and network-reachable. If you're running DHCP Server role on anything Internet-adjacent (you're not, right?), these move to the top of the list.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56188"><strong>CVE-2026-56188</strong></a><strong> - Windows Server Network driver Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>Another Critical-rated bug, this one is caused by a race condition. It’s always fun to see a TOCTOU bug rated this high, since race conditions are notoriously finicky to exploit reliably. While it may prove tricky to exploit, this bug could allow an attacker to execute privileged code over the network without user interaction. Don’t let the race condition lull you to sleep on a wormable bug.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-55010"><strong>CVE-2026-55010</strong></a><strong> - Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>File this in the “why not” category. This bug is a heap-based buffer overflow in Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server, also CVSS 9.8 and also unauthenticated RCE. Yes, your kid’s Minecraft server (it is your kid’s server, right?) is exposed to the same class of bug as your DHCP infrastructure. Patch it anyway.</p><p class="">Here’s the full list of CVEs released by Microsoft for July 2026:</p>

  <p class=""><em>** Indicates this CVEs has already been resolved by Microsoft, and no further action is needed by the end user.</em></p><p class=""><em> </em></p><p class=""><em> </em></p><p class="">I’ll do my best to summarize everything else in this release, but no promises. I’m only human after all.</p><p class=""> </p><p class="">Looking at the remaining Critical-rated patches, Office is its own weather system: fourteen Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Office RCEs clustered at CVSS 7.8, plus five Windows Media Foundation RCEs. Outside of the Preview Pane attack vector, they are individually unremarkable; collectively, patch Office and reboot. Always reboot. We’ve already mentioned DHCP some, but DHCP Server can't catch a break. Beyond the one already covered, add CVE-2026-56159, CVE-2026-48564, CVE-2026-50370, and DHCP Client cousin CVE-2026-54128. Five DHCP RCEs in one release. Rounding things out, Print Spooler (CVE-2026-58608), Windows TCP/IP (CVE-2026-54999), and a SQL Server RCE pair (CVE-2026-54117/54118) all receive patches, and all are rated a CVSS 8.8. VE-2026-55944 (Dynamics NAV/Business Central On-Prem RCE, 9.8) is the same deserialization flavor as the SharePoint pair; it’s unauthenticated, network-reachable, and easy to overlook since it's not SharePoint. CVE-2026-48561 (Microsoft Copilot RCE, 9.6) and CVE-2026-50380 (Windows GDI+ RCE, 9.6) round out the near-top tier. Don't forget CVE-2026-55040, a SharePoint Security Feature Bypass (9.1) — patch it in the same pass as the SharePoint RCE pair since it's the same product family. Identity and infrastructure get hit too: CVE-2026-54121 (AD Certificate Services EoP, 8.8) and CVE-2026-50444 (WSUS EoP, 8.8). The obscure Reliable Multicast Transport Driver (RMCAST) takes two RCEs (CVE-2026-54982, CVE-2026-54995), and CVE-2026-50474 gives Remote Desktop Client its own RCE, separate from the RDP one already covered. The rest is a long tail: Defender RCE x2, GDI+ again, Windows Media x2, Secure Kernel Mode EoP x2, and a second Hyper-V EoP. You can consider these “normal” as far as patch cadence goes.</p><p class="">That leaves us with 95 RCE to discuss. I would explain, but there is too much, so let me sum up. CVE-2026-55944 (Dynamics NAV/Business Central On-Prem, 9.8) is the same deserialization flavor as the SharePoint pair: unauthenticated, easy to miss since it's not SharePoint. CVE-2026-54990 (Remote Desktop Client), CVE-2026-49172 (Windows FTP Service), and CVE-2026-50447 (MSMQ) all hit 9.8 too, proof severity labels lag CVSS sometimes. CVE-2026-48561 (Copilot) and CVE-2026-50380 (GDI+) sit at 9.6.</p><p class="">The pattern worth watching: 14 Windows NTFS and 7 ReFS RCEs/ That makes 21 filesystem-driver bugs, an unusually large cluster suggesting a shared root cause. Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) contributes 21 more that are genuinely Microsoft's to patch, not Chromium re-listing noise. Remote Desktop Client racks up a second and third RCE (CVE-2026-50474, CVE-2026-58594), and Windows Admin Center picks up two (CVE-2026-56196/56197) — WAC exposure keeps creeping into these releases. Exchange Server (CVE-2026-55005) and AD Domain Services (CVE-2026-49178) both land at 8.8.</p><p class="">And because this release wouldn't be complete without it: CVE-2026-50663, an RCE in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. Yes, really. Patch your civilization anyway.</p><p class="">There are close to 260 EoP bugs in this month’s release. Microsoft could have just published the EoPs and still had a record-setting month. As usual, most simply lead to local attackers executing their code at SYSTEM-level privileges or administrative privileges, so there’s not much to add without further technical details about the bugs themselves. What’s really frustrating is that 94 have no explicit privilege statement at all. Microsoft just says “elevate privileges” with no detail. By my count, that leaves around 25 bugs to consider. Some don’t elevate at all. The FAQ literally says the attacker just gets “the rights of the user running the affected application.” That covers Win32k, Clip Service, Search Service, MSMQ, and SharePoint. A few get a Low-to-Medium integrity bump. There are also a couple that lead to downgraded service accounts or arbitrary file deletion, but nothing else I’ve seen really stands out too much.</p><p class="">There are 20 Security Feature Bypass (SFB) bugs this month, and it's a genuinely mixed bag. CVE-2026-55040 leads at Critical, CVSS 9.1 as it’s weak authentication in SharePoint Server. Patch it in the same pass as the SharePoint RCE pair since it's the same product. The AI-coding-tool trend continues: GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio all land SFB bugs, mostly injection or path-traversal flavored. BitLocker is this month's lone publicly disclosed bug. It’s not exploited yet, but public disclosure is a countdown clock, not a free pass. It requires physical access, as does the bug in Microsoft XML. The firmware/boot cluster is worth a second look: Secure Boot, Boot Loader, and Key Guard all touch the trust chain below the OS. Meaning, despite a low CVSS score, “if this fails, nothing above it can be trusted” stakes. Rounding out the SFB patches, there are two .NET SFBs, two Windows Kernel SFBs, and a DNS/Cryptographic Services bringing up the rear.</p><p class="">The July release includes 31Spoofing bugs this month, and we’ve already covered the most important (Exchange). SharePoint Server accounts for another ten with almost all the same root cause: stored XSS letting an authenticated attacker spoof content in the browser. Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) contributes fifteen more spanning access-control failures, SSRF, type confusion, and UI misrepresentation. All genuinely Microsoft's to patch, not re-listed Chromium noise. The remaining six round out the usual suspects: a Windows NAT spoofing bug reachable from an adjacent network, a Bing app flaw on iOS, a PowerBI Report Server XSS issue, a .NET output-encoding bug, and an AD FS spoofing flaw. None publicly disclosed, none exploited, but with SharePoint's history this year, don't let "just Spoofing" lull you into deprioritizing the patch cycle.</p><p class="">Of 111 Information Disclosure bugs, the overwhelming majority of these simply result in info leaks consisting of unspecified memory contents or memory addresses. GitHub Copilot is the standout. Here, the bug insufficiently protected credentials, meaning actual secrets leak, not memory scraps. The Windows Admin Center flaw discloses data via improper authentication. A management console leaking to an unauthorized party is a bigger deal than it sounds. SharePoint uses SSRF to pull data server-side, and the Event Logging Service is a protection-mechanism failure, not a memory bug at all. Edge picks up three genuinely file-system-flavored disclosures — improper authorization, files/directories accessible to external parties, and link-following — plus Edge for Android exposing “private personal information” twice and two path-traversal bugs. The remaining 40+ are mostly one-line “exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor” entries scattered across File Explorer, Push Notifications, Cryptographic Services, and Win32k.</p><p class="">Only 8 Tampering bugs this month, the smallest bucket, but a couple stand out. The top of the list is a WSUS bug, caused by an uncaught exception that lets an unauthenticated attacker tamper with the update service over the network. That’s your patch-management infrastructure itself being the target, which always deserves extra attention. Windows CNG (the crypto API) picks up a missing-cryptographic-step flaw, and Windows DNS Client shows up three separate times across the list, twice for improper access control and once for missing authentication on a critical function. DNS resolution having this many tampering paths in one release is worth flagging as a pattern rather than three unrelated bugs. The one genuinely different entry is Outlook Copilot, described simply as vulnerable to “malicious uses” enabling tampering over the network. That’s a fantastically vague phrasing for an AI-assistant feature, continuing this year's running theme of Copilot-branded features showing up somewhere in every release. Finally, a .NET link-following bug and a WSL2 kernel race condition receive patches. Both require local/authorized access to trigger.</p><p class="">Still with me? Good, because we have 35 DoS bugs to cover, and this is really an identity-infrastructure story more than a grab-bag. Active Directory Federation Services alone accounts for seven of them, all sitting at CVSS 7.5, all stack-based buffer overflows or infinite loops that let an unauthenticated attacker knock the service over the network.  The .NET ecosystem is the other big cluster: .NET, .NET Framework, and ASP.NET Core/OData contribute nine bugs combined, almost all “allocation of resources without limits or throttling”.  HTTP.sys and HTTP/2 pick up the same flavor. LSASS shows up twice, which is always worth a second look given what that process actually holds. Rounding out the list are patches for Windows DHCP Server, SMB Server, Secure Channel, Hyper-V, and IKE Protocol each take a single hit, mostly requiring authorized or adjacent-network access rather than being wide open to the internet.</p><p class="">No new advisories are being released this month.</p><p class=""><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p><p class="">The next Patch Tuesday will be on August 11, just after Hacker Summer Camp in sunny Las Vegas. Should I survive the heat, I’ll be back then to give you my full thoughts on the release – no matter how large it may be. Until then, stay safe, happy patching, and may all your reboots be smooth and clean!</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>A remote code execution vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows Notepad. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of links in Markdown files.</p>
<p>A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing the victim to download and interact with a malicious file. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in the execution of arbitrary commands in the security context of the victim's account.</p>
<p><b data-preserve-html-node="true">The Vulnerability</b></p>
<p>Microsoft Windows comes with a default text-editing application called Windows Notepad. Historically, this application offered only minimal editing features. However, modern versions of Windows include an improved and extended Notepad by default. This new version supports multiple file formats, Markdown rendering, and Copilot-enhanced features.</p>
<p><a href="https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/">Markdown</a> is a lightweight markup language that allows users to create formatted text using a simple syntax. It is widely used for writing documents, blog posts, and README files. It supports a wide range of formatting options, including (but not limited to) headers, styled text, numbered and bulleted lists, and links. Markdown supports two main link formats: standard and inline. The standard link format is:</p>
<p>          <code>[link-name](link/path)</code></p>
<p>When rendered, only the link text ("link-name") is shown to the user.</p>
<p>The inline links use the following format:</p>
<p>          <code>&lt;link/path&gt;</code></p>
<p>When rendered, they are transformed into the equivalent standard link:</p>
<p>          <code>[link/path](link/path)</code></p>
<p>A remote code execution vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows Notepad. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of links when handling Markdown files.</p>
<p>When Notepad opens a file, if the application detects that the file requires special rendering (in this case, Markdown), the input file is tokenized. Tokenization in this context means splitting the raw file text into a sequence of small, recognizable pieces ("tokens") that the renderer can process one by one. Detection is performed based on the file extension. Only the ".md" extension was found to trigger Markdown rendering, as the application uses a fixed string comparison to determine whether Markdown should be rendered by calling <code>sub_1400ED5D0()</code>. Markdown files are rendered token by token.</p>
<p>Function <code>sub_140170F60()</code> handles clicking on links in Markdown files. It filters the link value, and passes it to <code>ShellExecuteExW()</code> call.</p>
<p>The filtering performed on the link is found to be insufficient, as it allows using malicious crafted protocol URIs, such as "file://" and "ms-appinstaller://", to execute arbitrary files in the security context of victim. <code>ShellExecuteExW()</code> uses the configured protocol handlers and may expose additional exploitable protocols depending on the system configuration.</p>
<p>A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing the victim to download a malicious crafted Markdown file, open it, and click on a malicious link. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in the execution of arbitrary commands in the security context of the victim's account.</p>
<p>Notes<br>•	Files using the ".md" file extension are not registered to be opened by Notepad by default. However, when opened manually in Notepad, they are rendered as Markdown, which allows the vulnerability to be triggered.<br>•	Any "\\" sequences are converted to "\" in the attacker-controlled link path prior to passing it to the <code>ShellExecuteExW()</code> call.</p>
<p><b data-preserve-html-node="true">Source Code Walkthrough</b></p>
<p>The following code snippet was taken from Notepad.exe version 11.2508. Comments added by TrendAI researchers have been highlighted.</p>
<p>In <code>sub_140170F60()</code>:</p>


  


  
  
    
    
      
        
        
        
        
          
        
        
        
      
    
  
  
    



  



  

<p><b data-preserve-html-node="true">Detection Guidance</b></p>
<p>To detect an attack exploiting this vulnerability, the detection device must monitor and parse traffic on the following application protocols that can be used to deliver an attack to exploit this vulnerability:<br>•	FTP, over ports 21/TCP, 20/TCP<br>•	HTTP, over port 80/TCP<br>•	HTTPS, over port 443/TCP<br>•	IMAP, over port 143/TCP<br>•	NFS, over ports 2049/TCP, 2049/UDP, 111/TCP, 111/UDP<br>•	POP3, over port 110/TCP<br>•	SMTP, over ports 25/TCP, 587/TCP<br>•	SMB/CIFS, over ports 139/TCP, 445/TCP  </p>
<p>The detection device must inspect traffic transferring a Markdown file with the file extension ".md". If such a file transfer is found, the detection device must search the file content for links.</p>
<p>The detection device must check whether the link paths contain the strings "file:" or "ms-appinstaller:".</p>
<p>If "file:" was found, the detection device must search the Markdown file contents using the following case-insensitive regular expression:</p>
<p><code>(\x3C|\[[^\x5d]+\]\()file:(\x2f|\x5c\x5c){4}</code></p>
<p>If "ms-appinstaller:" was found, the detection device must search the Markdown file contents using the following case-insensitive regular expression:</p>
<p><code>(\x3C|\[[^\x5d]+\]\()ms-appinstaller:(\x2f|\x5c\x5c){2}</code></p>




  <p class="">If any of the regular expressions matches, the link contains a path to a remote resource. The traffic must be considered malicious; an attack exploiting this vulnerability is likely underway. This guidance should also detect the public PoC that was recently posted on <a href="https://github.com/BTtea/CVE-2026-20841-PoC">GitHub</a>.</p><p class="">Notes</p><p class="">•  The string matches are case-insensitive.<br>•  The detection guidance is based on the vendor-provided patch. However, the patch restricts the links to local-only files and HTTP(S) URIs, which may result in a huge number of false positives. Because of that, the detection guidance focuses on formats that may access and execute remote files. Due to that, it may result in false negatives.<br>•  The vulnerable function uses the configured protocol handlers and may expose additional exploitable protocols depending on the system configuration.</p><p class=""><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p class="">This vulnerability was <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2026-20841">patched</a> by Microsoft in the February 2026 release cycle. They note no workarounds but do list user interaction as a prerequisite to exploitation. To fully remediate the vulnerability, the proper action is to test and deploy the provided vendor patch.</p><p class="">Special thanks to Nikolai Skliarenko and Yazhi Wang of the TrendAI Research team for providing such a thorough analysis of this vulnerability.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">I am back in the friendly confines of the Mid-South headquarters of TrendAI ZDI (a.k.a. my home office), and am all set for the third patch Tuesday of 2026. Take a break from your regularly scheduled activities and let’s take a look at the latest security patches from Adobe and Microsoft.If you’d rather watch the full video recap covering the entire release, you can check it out here:</p>





















  
  




  
















  
    
      
    
    
      
        
      
    
    
    



  






  <p class=""><strong>Adobe Patches for March 2026</strong></p><p class="">For March, Adobe released eight bulletins addressing 80 unique CVEs in Adobe Acrobat Reader, Commerce, Illustrator, Substance 3D Painter, Premier Pro, Experience Manager, Substance 3D Stager, and the Adobe DNG Software Development Kit (SDK). Two of these bugs were submitted through the TrendAI ZDI program. If you need to prioritize, the update for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/acrobat/apsb26-26.html">Acrobat</a> likely has the most impact, with the patch fixing two Critical-rated and one Important bugs. The fix for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/experience-manager/apsb26-24.html">Experience Manager</a> is the largest this month with 33 CVEs addressed. However, these are simple cross-site scripting (XSS) bugs, so it’s not too exciting. The fix for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/magento/apsb26-05.html">Commerce</a> is also quite large with 19 CVEs. Most of these are also XSS bugs, but there’s a few security feature bypass bugs in there, too. Adobe actually gives this patch a deployment priority of 2, but it’s not under active attack at the time of release. </p><p class="">The fix for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/illustrator/apsb26-18.html">Illustrator</a> corrects seven bugs, including a few Critical-rated ones. The patch for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/substance3d_painter/apsb26-25.html">Substance 3D Painter</a> fixes nine different CVEs, all rated Important. That’s not the case for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/substance3d_stager/apsb26-29.html">Substance 3D Stager</a>, which fixes six different Critical bugs that could lead to arbitrary code execution. The patch for the <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/dng-sdk/apsb26-30.html">Adobe DNG Software Development Kit</a> (SDK) addresses one Critical and one Important bug. Finally, the update for Premiere Pro correct a single, Critical-rated bug that could lead to arbitrary code execution. </p><p class="">None of the bugs fixed by Adobe this month are listed as publicly known or under active attack at the time of release, and beyond the update for Commerce, all of the other updates released by Adobe this month are listed as deployment priority 3.</p><p class=""><strong>Microsoft Patches for March 2026</strong></p><p class="">This month, Microsoft released 84 new CVEs in Windows and Windows components, Office and Office Components, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Azure, SQL Server, Hyper-V Server, and the Windows Resilient File System (ReFS). Counting the third-party and Chromium updates listed in the release, it brings to total number of CVEs to 94. Five of these bugs were reported through the TrendAI ZDI program. Eight of these bugs are rated Critical, and the rest are rated Important in severity.</p><p class="">This volume is relatively typical for a March release, and the lack of bugs under active attack is a nice change from last month. There are two vulnerabilities listed as publicly known at the time of release, but none listed as actively exploited.</p><p class="">Let’s take a closer look at some of the more interesting updates for this month, starting with a bug with an AI slant:</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-26144"><strong>CVE-2026-26144</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Excel Information Disclosure Vulnerability<br></strong>This is a fascinating bug and an attack scenario we’re likely to see more often. The vulnerability is a simple cross-site scripting (XSS) bug in Excel, but an attacker could use it to cause the Copilot Agent to exfiltrate data off the target. This essentially makes it a zero-click information disclosure. Although not stated, the disclosure is likely at the level of the logged-on user, so there isn’t a privilege escalation component. Info disclosures rarely get rated Critical, but it makes sense here.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-26110"><strong>CVE-2026-26110</strong></a><strong>/</strong><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-26113"><strong>CVE-2026-26113</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution Vulnerability <br></strong>Another month and another pair of Office bugs where the Preview Pane is an exploit vector. I’ve lost count of how many of these bugs have been patched over the last year, but it’s just a matter of time until they start appearing in active exploits. The latest versions of Outlook allow you to hide the Preview Pane, but it isn’t clear if this would mitigate these attacks. The best option is still to test and deploy the update, but considering how many of these patches exist, it’s likely further updates will be needed to fully address these issues.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-23669"><strong>CVE-2026-23669</strong></a><strong> - Windows Print Spooler Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>Just reading the title makes me twitch with remembrances of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrintNightmare">Print Nightmare</a> from a few years ago. This bug works in the same manner as those exploits. An authenticated attacker sends specially crafted messages to an affected system to gain arbitrary code execution. No user interaction is required. Let’s hope we don’t end up in a new nightmare of spooler exploits. Test and deploy this one quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-23668"><strong>CVE-2026-23668</strong></a><strong> - Windows Graphics Component Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>This vulnerability was submitted to the ZDI program by Marcin Wiązowski as two separate bugs, and it demonstrates the need for variant investigations when creating security patches. Both cases are caused by the lack of proper locking when performing operations on an object. However, in one case, it’s in the cdd.dll driver while the other is in the win32kfull driver. Either way, an attacker could use these to elevate privileges to SYSTEM and execute arbitrary code. Since the fix for both is to add object locking to the GDI object, the cases are combined into a single CVE. That’s not a problem, but it does show how variants can occur, and fixes should be as broad as possible.</p><p class="">Here’s the full list of CVEs released by Microsoft for March 2026:</p>

  <p class=""><em>* Indicates this CVE had been released by a third party and is now being included in Microsoft releases</em>.</p><p class=""><em>† Indicates further administrative actions are required to fully address the vulnerability.</em></p><p class=""><em> </em></p><p class="">Looking at the other Critical-rated bugs in this month’s release, they are all cloud-native and require no user action. Microsoft has already remediated the vulnerabilities.</p><p class="">Moving on to the other code execution bugs, the vulnerabilities in SharePoint Server pop out first. Both require authentication, but it’s essentially the lowest level of authentication, so these would be ideal cases for lateral movement within an enterprise. There are the standard open-and-own cases within Office components. There an interesting sounding bug in the Windows Mobile Broadband Driver that requires physical access, but Microsoft doesn’t elaborate on the attack scenario beyond that fact. The bug in the System Image Manager Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) requires authentication. The bug in GDI requires user interaction. The remaining code execution bugs are in the RRAS protocol. We’ve seen bugs in this component in the past, but never in the wild. I wouldn’t ignore these, but I wouldn’t rush them out either.</p><p class="">Similar to last month, updates for Elevation of Privilege (EoP) bugs make up nearly half of this month’s release. And as we saw last month, but most simply lead to local attackers executing their code at SYSTEM-level privileges or administrative privileges. The bugs in SQL Server allow attackers to elevate to SQL sysadmin privileges. The bug in the Azure MCP Server is more complex. It allows attackers to obtain the permissions associated with the MCP Server’s managed identity, which lets them perform actions that the managed identity is able to reach. The bug in the Azure AD SSH Login extension for Linux leads to root access, and it won’t be easy to patch. You’ll need to run the update instructions from the command line on each affected system. That’s the same case for the bug in the Linux Azure Diagnostic extension (LAD). There’s an odd bug in the Hybrid Worker Extension (Arc‑enabled Windows VMs) that leads to “ELEVATED” privileges, which is something I’ve never seen before. The bug in the Broadcast DVR component allows an attacker to go from low integrity level up to medium. There’s a bug listed as an EoP in the Push message Routing Service, but reading the description, Microsoft notes it could lead to an information disclosure. It’s likely this is an error and should be an Information Disclosure bug. The final EoP is in the Azure Portal Windows Admin Center and leads to SYSTEM. However, there’s no patch to remediate this bug. Instead, you need to install the latest version of the Windows Admin Center extension through the Azure Portal by hand. </p><p class="">There are two security feature bypass patches in the March release. The first is a bypass of the MapURLToZone method, which (as expected) allows attackers to bypass MapURLToZone protections. The third bypass is in Kerberos and could allow an attacker to either view some sensitive information or make changes to “disclosed” information. This is a race condition that occurs while the group policy is being reapplied, so the window to exploit this would be extremely small.</p><p class="">Looking at the remaining info disclosure bugs getting patched this month, only two result in info leaks consisting of unspecified memory contents or memory addresses. Ther others provide more interesting results. There are three bugs in the Azure IoT Explorer have some wide-ranging implications. According to Microsoft, exploitation could result in, “device connection information, authentication tokens, request data, file paths, and other information transmitted between the application and the IoT Hub.” The bug in Authenticator almost reads like a security feature bypass, as exploit results in the disclosure of a one‑time sign‑in code or authentication deep link. The attacker would receive the sign‑in information and could potentially use it to authenticate as the user, allowing access to information or services available to that account. The last info disclosure bug is in the Accessibility Infrastructure and allows an attacker to gain secrets or privileged information belonging to the user of the affected application.</p><p class="">There are only four spoofing bugs in the March release. The first is in SharePoint server and manifests as an XSS. The second bug is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the Azure IoT Explorer. The remaining two are a bit more cryptic. The bug in Windows Shell Link Processing results from the “exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor,” and could lead to spoofing. That sounds like credential exposure, but it’s not explicitly called out. The final spoofing bug results from the insufficient verification of data authenticity in Windows App Installer. Again, this sounds vaguely like credential reflection, but without further information, we can only speculate. </p><p class="">Finally, there are four denial-of-service (DoS) bugs in the release, including one that’s listed as publicly known in the .NET Framework. As usual, Microsoft provides no actionable information about these bugs.</p><p class="">No new advisories are being released this month.</p><p class=""><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p><p class="">I plan on being at RSA for the first time in my career, so if you’re around, please stop by and say hello. I like it when people say hello. Otherwise, I’ll be back on April 14 with my assessment of that patch Tuesday release. Until then, stay safe, happy patching, and may all your reboots be smooth and clean!</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In public-sector and regulated-cloud work, I learned that sovereignty rarely starts as a national strategy. It starts as an auditor’s question: Who can prove where the data went, which system made the decision and what changes when the vendor or infrastructure does? That question is now moving into AI, and most sovereign-AI debates answer the wrong version of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They ask whether a country can build its own model on domestic data and hardware. For the United States and China, which together hold more than 90% of global AI data-center capacity, per a <a href="https://institute.global/insights/tech-and-digitalisation/sovereignty-in-the-age-of-ai-strategic-choices-structural-dependencies">January 2026 Tony Blair Institute analysis</a>, that question is worth asking. However, for almost every other government, it is the wrong place to start. The operative question is narrower: Once AI is embedded in public services, who controls the stack?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The 5 layers of public-sector control</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a CIO, sovereign AI means enforceable control across the AI lifecycle; model ownership is a separate question. Control has five layers:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Data control:</strong> Where sensitive public data sits, and whether it can train a vendor’s model.</li>



<li><strong>Model control:</strong> Which models clear which workloads, and under what validation.</li>



<li><strong>Infrastructure control:</strong> Whether critical workloads run in approved environments.</li>



<li><strong>Operational control:</strong> Whether AI-assisted actions are logged, monitored and reversible.</li>



<li><strong>Vendor control:</strong> Whether the agency keeps portability, audit rights and a real exit.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those five layers are the control plane for public-service AI. Floyd Dcosta recently made the enterprise case in “<a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4147102/ai-without-sovereignty-is-just-outsourced-intelligence.html">AI without sovereignty is just outsourced intelligence</a>”: capability is what a tool can do; authority over how and when it does it is something a buyer can quietly lose. For public services, losing that authority plays out in the public eye.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Public-sector AI risk differs from enterprise risk. A retailer’s bad recommendation costs a sale; a government’s AI touches benefits, tax enforcement, policing and emergency response, raising the bar to due process, records retention and continuity of operations. A government that cannot reconstruct an AI-assisted decision lacks operational sovereignty, even in a domestic data center.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Evaluating risk: Concentration, jurisdiction and shadow AI</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Foreign dependency is a real risk, but the exposure that matters is a sudden cutoff: A model you cannot audit, switch or exit, shut off by someone else’s order. A vendor’s nationality is a poor guide to that risk; control is.  Two markers matter. The first is concentration. In July 2024, a single faulty CrowdStrike update <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2024/07/19/widespread-it-outage-due-crowdstrike-update">crashed about 8.5 million Windows machines</a>, disrupting airlines, hospitals, banks and governments worldwide. No attacker was involved; one homogeneous dependency failed everywhere at once. The lesson points away from vendor nationality and toward uniformity as the fault line, making portability and provider diversity resilience controls.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second is jurisdiction. In June 2025, Microsoft’s legal director for France <a href="https://www.sdxcentral.com/news/microsoft-tells-french-lawmakers-it-cant-protect-user-data-from-us-demands/">told a Senate inquiry, under oath</a>, that it could not guarantee that French public-sector data, even in French data centers, would be protected against US demands under the 2018 CLOUD Act. No such request had been made, and EU data has stayed in the EU since January 2025; senators called the assurance purely declarative. For the most sensitive data, residency does not equal control; the parent’s jurisdiction can matter as much as the server’s. Three US hyperscalers hold <a href="https://www.srgresearch.com/articles/european-cloud-providers-local-market-share-now-holds-steady-at-15">about 70% of the European cloud market</a>, while European providers’ share fell from 29% in 2017 to roughly 15%. Concentration plus jurisdiction is the exposure a CIO must price. I have watched teams treat vendor selection as the moment risk was solved; it rarely was.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The wrong response is self-isolation. Most countries will never build frontier models, advanced chips, hyperscale clouds and talent pipelines at once; the Tony Blair Institute calls full self-sufficiency “too expensive, too slow and, for most countries, simply impossible.” The better test is workload sensitivity. Low-risk uses, such as drafting, translation and summarization, can run on commercial platforms with controls; high-risk uses, such as benefits eligibility, fraud investigation and healthcare triage, demand stricter control over data, model behavior and auditability.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mandating domestic-only provision before a competitive option exists inverts sovereignty. <a href="https://europe2031.ai/summary">Europe 2031</a>, a five-year scenario from June 2026 by European technologists and policy researchers, illustrates the failure mode: A 2027 “buy European” mandate lands as offensive cyber capability spreads, and agencies that switched to weaker providers are locked out and paying ransoms. The scenario is fiction; the mechanism is not. Leverage comes from being indispensable, not half-hearted self-sufficiency. The closer-to-home effect is shadow AI: Mandate an inferior sanctioned tool and staff bypass it, the way shadow IT grows up around tools people find too slow. A rule that pushes sensitive work into ungoverned shadow AI reduces control instead of adding it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regulation and data-residency rules belong in any serious strategy, but carry failure modes. Blanket localization raises hosting costs and slows adoption without guaranteeing control, and a “sovereign cloud” on a foreign parent’s stack can amount to sovereignty theater. The more useful pattern tiers requirements by sensitivity. India’s BHASHINI shows the application layer done well: A public platform <a href="https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=2093333&amp;reg=3&amp;lang=2">serving 100 million-plus inferences a month across 22-plus languages</a> on a vendor- and cloud-agnostic design that keeps data and switching rights public. Sovereignty resides in the portability, not in a national model.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Building an operational sovereignty strategy</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Public trust is the constraint sovereignty rhetoric tends to skip. The OECD’s <a href="https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/governing-with-artificial-intelligence_795de142-en.html">2025 review of government AI</a> warns that opaque systems make AI-assisted decisions hard to explain and can give public servants false confidence in tools that fail quietly. State-controlled AI is the same problem from the other side: A government that deploys models against its own citizens without audit or record has gained control and lost accountability. An agency that can log, explain and reverse an AI-assisted action can defend it to citizens, courts, auditors and elected officials. If it cannot, it has bought access and called it sovereignty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of this is new. AI sovereignty repeats earlier fights over cloud, telecom, semiconductors and cybersecurity. Europe’s flagship cloud project, GAIA-X, became a cautionary tale; the Dutch technologist Bert Hubert called it an <a href="https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/gaia-x-is-an-expensive-distraction/">“expensive distraction”</a> that produced no European cloud, the familiar result of ambition without absorptive capacity. Cloud taught governments that outsourcing infrastructure does not outsource accountability; telecom, that vendor dependency becomes strategic exposure; chips, that supply chains matter before a crisis; cybersecurity, that trust must be verified continuously. AI inherits all four at once.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the next five to ten years, some countries will build national platforms, more will build trusted cloud and trusted model regimes, and most will run hybrids that pair domestic data control with global model access. Trade policy will harden those choices: Export controls on compute and data-localization rules will pull the vendor market into blocs that track alliances more than open markets. For a CIO, that turns a vendor and hosting decision into a five-year bet on whose rules and supply chains will still hold. The ones that succeed will treat sovereignty as an operating requirement, backed by leverage, not a slogan. Start with the control plane before the model: Most agencies will never own the model, and the controls are what decide whether the AI they do run stays accountable. Even when procurement policy is dictated from above, these questions remain within the CIO’s authority:</p>



<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Can we classify AI workloads by public-service risk?</li>



<li>Can we prove where sensitive data goes across training, retrieval, inference, logging and retention?</li>



<li>Can we restrict which models are approved for which data classes and functions?</li>



<li>Can we reconstruct an AI-assisted action in enough detail to explain it?</li>



<li>Can we change providers without losing continuity or institutional knowledge?</li>



<li>Can we explain the system to citizens, regulators, auditors and elected officials?</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A “no” to any of these does not mean the agency lacks AI. It means the agency has access it does not yet control. Public institutions can use global innovation without surrendering public authority, but only once they know what to hold, what to rent and where dependency turns into risk.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I haven’t slept much in the past few weeks. Not because of some theoretical cyber risk that keeps many executives awake, but because reality just delivered a real wake-up call to our industry — a call that every executive must answer, now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Imagine this: A major global enterprise, a company most of us interact with indirectly every single day, wakes up to find its entire digital environment obliterated. Thousands of employees in dozens of offices and remote locations are suddenly offline. Customers are cut off, supply chains grind to a halt and regulators are notified with a chilling admission: “We have no idea when we’ll be back.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This wasn’t ransomware. There was no negotiation, no decryption key to buy, no easy way out. It was destruction — deliberate, coordinated and geopolitically motivated — not monetary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a chief customer officer who’s worked with countless customers on cyberattack risks, my perspective hits a bit differently than a CISO or a CTO. I see the aftermath, not just the attack surface. I see the faces behind the tickets, the operations team locked out of their own systems, the support agent answering panicked calls at dawn. And I ask: How many organizations have actually stress-tested their response to this scenario — not a hypothetical, but this very real, lights-out event? Here’s what every leader needs to confront today:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recovery is not just a technical exercise</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first assumption to break during a real crisis is <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4165019/your-cloud-strategy-is-incomplete-without-a-cyber-recovery-plan.html">the belief that recovery is purely technical</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many organizations have done tabletop exercises and have a backup and recovery playbook, so they feel prepared. They can <a>point to</a> backup windows, retention schedules and immutability controls. The moment a true blackout happens, a different reality surfaces. The people who own the recovery steps either do not know each other, lack the authority to make decisions without supervisor approval or need guidance from offline systems.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reality is that technical infrastructure almost always holds up better than human infrastructure. Organizations have built their recovery strategy around the assumption that someone competent will be awake, available and empowered when a cyber event happens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Still, backups are only as good as their independence. Let’s be blunt: If your recovery infrastructure shares identity, authentication or network trust with your Microsoft tenant (such as Azure, Microsoft 365 or Teams), you don’t actually have a recovery plan; you have a false sense of one — and a liability. A <a href="https://www.veeam.com/company/press-release/veeam-report-reveals-a-market-wide-shift-from-recovery-confidence-to-proven-data-resilience-amid-ransomware-threats-and-ai-adoption.html">recent survey</a> found that while 90% of organizations express confidence in their ability to recover from a cyber incident, fewer than one in three ransomware victims fully recovered their data.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">True resilience means immutable, air-gapped backups, untouchable by the same compromise. Anything less is an illusion. I talk to customers about their recovery plans constantly. The customers who have rehearsed all scenarios sleep soundly. Those who haven’t? They’re rolling the dice.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Most business continuity plans ignore ‘total blackout’</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve reviewed hundreds of business continuity plans. Almost all assume partial failures — a region, an application, a data center. But what if every system, in every country, goes dark simultaneously? That’s an entirely different playbook. If your team hasn’t run a drill for a global, simultaneous outage, you’re not prepared. The probability is low, but the cost of being unready is existential.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Connected devices, OT systems, field hardware, partner integrations — they all plug into your enterprise network. When the core collapses, it’s not just IT at risk. It’s operational technology, physical safety systems and in regulated sectors, potentially human lives. Understanding and testing those interdependencies is non-negotiable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is also where boards need to change the conversation. A <a href="https://www.diligent.com/resources/research/cybersecurity-audit">study found</a> that only 5% of companies have cybersecurity experts on their board of directors. Recovery time objectives (RTOs) should not be buried in technical appendices. It’s all jargon to boards. That makes translation essential. RTOs must be explained in terms of business impact. “We can recover in four hours” is a technical statement. “Every hour of downtime costs us $2.3M and creates regulatory exposure in three jurisdictions” is a board statement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is the level of clarity leaders need.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most prepared organizations do not wait for an incident to educate the board. They bring the conversation forward proactively. They frame recovery in business terms: revenue, regulatory standing, customer trust and brand reputation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most effective framing is often simple. Show the most critical systems. Show what happens if each one is down for one hour, four hours, 24 hours and 72 hours. Show the current recovery capability against each and then show the gap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If your board is not demanding real answers, your business continuity strategy is likely underfunded and your business is exposed. This is a risk conversation worth forcing because the consequences do not stay inside IT. They can show up in customer churn or missed revenue and ruin an organization’s reputation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Threat intelligence must be actionable, not archived</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Geopolitical attacks, hacktivist campaigns and nation-state targeting aren’t abstract threats. They are active risks, and that intelligence cannot languish in the security team’s inbox. Executive leadership must be looped in — and immediately — so gaps can be closed before they’re exploited. Too often, intelligence enters the security operations function and never reaches the teams responsible for recovery infrastructure or executive decision-making.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If a threat actor is targeting a specific class of backup agents, the team responsible for those agents needs to know now, not two weeks from now. If intelligence suggests destructive activity against a sector, recovery owners need to validate isolation, access paths and restoration procedures immediately. If geopolitical tension increases the likelihood of targeting, executive leadership needs to understand what exposure exists and what actions are being taken. The organizations that survive aren’t just the best at incident response. They’re the ones who anticipated, rehearsed and invested <em>before</em> the attack.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Part of investing in a recovery strategy requires closing the loop between signal and action. The most prepared organizations have already mapped their critical recovery dependencies to specific threat categories. When intelligence touches one of those categories, there is a named owner and a clear set of actions. No guessing or forwarding emails into the void is needed because the distance between the warning and the employees’ ability to do something is shortened.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking ahead, the conversation will continue to evolve beyond traditional cyber response. Because in an AI-enabled enterprise, the new question is whether the data within those systems can still be trusted. When AI systems make decisions based on enterprise data, the attack surface becomes the data’s accuracy. A threat actor who quietly corrupts a dataset over 90 days before a recovery event has done more damage than just downtime. They can poison the inputs driving decisions across the business.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regardless of how AI will change threat intelligence and cyber response, these principles remain the same. Know your problem, whether structural or technological. Ensure your human infrastructure keeps pace with your technical infrastructure, with clear cross-functional ownership and the tools and knowledge to act autonomously. Communicate with your boards often — and correctly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s not wait for the next headline to ask, “Are we ready?” Have those conversations <em>now</em>. Test your assumptions. Close your gaps. Because in today’s threat landscape, resilience isn’t IT’s job — it’s everyone’s mandate.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Four months of Claude Code — that’s all it took for Uber to burn through its entire annual budget for AI. Token after token, engineers embraced the platform with few control mechanisms tying costs to outcomes. The result was a budget runaway and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/janakirammsv/2026/05/17/uber-burns-its-2026-ai-budget-in-four-months-on-claude-code/">a clear case study</a> in how limited oversight snowballs into an AI blowout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a phenomenon I like to call “shadow tokens” — AI credits paid for by the company but largely invisible to decision-makers. Too many engineers have the final say over how much they consume and, therefore, what it costs. This all-you-can-eat attitude is part of the reason why <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/930447/microsoft-claude-code-discontinued-notepad">Microsoft is reportedly</a> winding down many internal licenses across key engineering teams and why <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/investing/the-next-phase-of-ai-spending-is-already-underway">one in five organizations</a> is missing its AI spend forecast by more than 50%.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the trend is only accelerating. By 2028, <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4189149/ai-coding-token-costs-are-on-track-to-rival-human-payroll.html">Gartner predicts</a> that AI coding costs (driven by this kind of ungoverned consumption) will be as much per developer as the salary companies pay that person.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">LLMs and agents introduce a new class of variable cost that scales with behavior rather than headcount, putting enterprises on the hook for tools that balloon with workload. I don’t see this as enterprises overspending because they’re reckless — it’s down to a lack of managerial oversight, budget alignment that demands a proven return on investment, and engineer education on how much is too much.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Going forward, CIOs need to thread the AI needle between governance that encourages transparency and reasonable spend without stifling innovation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When shadow tokens result in real costs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The issue is that AI isn’t a traditional line item. Previously, enterprise leaders onboarded software-as-a-service (SaaS) with a good idea of the total cost. An allocated software seat or annual contract was a known quantity. The cloud added some variation (with fluctuations depending on hosting size), but instances were still modelable. AI flips this status quo on its head — the unit of consumption is behavior and the cost is exponential.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And these specifics aren’t immediately apparent at pilot. Tools can appear inexpensive in controlled experiments yet unpredictably scale depending on session length, context window size, model selection and whether agents run in parallel. This is the fallacy of the $20-per-seat enterprise plan — tokens are charged separately at API rates with no ceiling. The final dollar value of any session is set by factors that finance can’t always model in advance, particularly when these decisions usually rest with the engineers themselves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to <a href="https://www.deloitte.com/cz-sk/en/services/consulting/research/the-state-of-ai-in-the-enterprise.html">Deloitte</a>, only 21% of organizations deploying agents have a mature governance model, a real concern because they’re token-eating machines. This is what was happening at Uber — Claude Code in agentic mode was autonomously reading codebases, planning changes across dozens of files and opening pull requests. Each step quickly adds up, with Anthropic’s own documentation noting that agents consume approximately seven times as many tokens as standard sessions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is shadow IT and shadow AI, evolved. This time, however, many leaders approved the tool in question without guardrails governing consumption. AI hype adds fuel to the fire and normalizes long sessions. Uber’s CTO, for example, <a href="https://x.com/praveenTweets/status/2033627282418655711">described</a> a company-wide shift toward “agentic software engineering” with employees “who are quietly experimenting, quietly shipping and quietly pushing things forward”. This is an exciting way to test the limits of what’s possible, certainly, but it’s also a position that goes a long way to explaining how the company spent its annual AI budget by April.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shifting the culture from usage to yield</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Engineers haven’t done anything wrong here. In fact, they’re adopting and experimenting as instructed, with Uber creating leaderboards and ranking users by token consumption. More use led to a better ranking, reflecting a culture that lauds new ways of doing things. This behavior is known as “<a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4178320/tokenmaxxing-when-ai-adoption-metrics-go-bad.html">tokenmaxxing</a>,” and its principal knock-on effect is shadow tokens — quantity-over-quality processes that leaders struggle to control until they’re fully realized in the budget. Of course, if management treats adoption metrics as performance metrics, then engineers can’t be blamed for using more tokens. The tension is that the teams driving adoption aren’t the ones managing spend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of this is meant to dismiss AI’s productivity possibilities and potential return on investment. Developers save <a href="https://getdx.com/blog/ai-assisted-engineering-q4-impact-report-2025/">3.6 hours</a> per week, achieve 60% higher pull request throughput and cut onboarding time in half with automation. Meanwhile, Uber shared that roughly 11% of live backend updates were written by agents with no human in the loop. However, these wins aren’t the problem — it’s that too many teams aren’t connecting input to output. I’ve spoken to admins who discovered their token spend had tripled in a single quarter after using heavier models or accidentally doubling up on agentic applications. Nobody knew until the financial damage was done.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Automation needs to happen sustainably with an eye on the bottom line. In my view, a much better metric for achieving this is AI yield — the measurable business or engineering output generated per dollar spent on tokens. Otherwise, without a feedback loop, even genuinely productive teams are flying blind.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stopping token waste before an AI blowout</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Creating that throughline between AI investment and token consumption starts with established financial metrics. This is possible via maximum spend limits (dictated by spend tagging, workload tiering and cost-per-output benchmarks) per team or project. Then, any additional allocation requires approval, closing the loop between the engineers spending the tokens and the leaders paying for them. AI isn’t cheap and teams should demonstrate a bang for their buck.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is something we do with our engineering team at Hexnode. Resource allocation for Claude Code and Cursor is tied directly to ROI rather than letting consumption run open-ended. Given the pay-as-you-go nature of these tools, a firm usage limit per team offers simple but essential control.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Similarly, there’s room to apply some of the governance principles IT uses for device management. Things like policy enforcement, role-based access, real-time monitoring and automated alerts can flag usage behavior in advance. Uncovering such insights at the token layer works to identify power users and prevent excessive spending.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also need to encourage cultures that praise outputs that actually achieve efficiency. AI applications that result in shipping faster, reducing rework and cutting review cycles are gains that should be celebrated. If your company hosts leaderboards, frame unnecessary token burn as wasteful rather than valuable. The organizations creating healthier consumption habits work with their engineers to understand not just how to use AI, but what responsible use looks like and what it costs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a conversation teams need to have now. Anthropic <a href="https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15036540-use-the-claude-agent-sdk-with-your-claude-plan">just ended flat-rate pricing</a> for programmatic workloads from June 15. Now, agents, continuous integration pipelines and automated workflows draw from a dedicated monthly credit pool billed separately from the subscription. Once that pool is exhausted, agent tasks either stop entirely or overflow to extra billing. Work can either get very expensive or grind to a halt for teams that aren’t prepared.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Getting a grip on shadow tokens means better rules and tools connecting spend to outcomes. Only by building the financial and cultural infrastructure that encourages sustainable adoption can leaders see what they’re spending, connect it to what they’re getting and course-correct before the costs become a crisis. Ultimately, shadow tokens are only invisible if we choose not to look.</p>

Here’s a recap of 17 of our favorite announcements for Android developers; you can also <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/KvTRMSa1w4E?si=QBAxNvihPwJCJUuS">see what was announced last week</a> in <a href="https://developer.android.com/events/show">The Android Show: I/O Edition</a>. Stay tuned over the next two days as we dive into all of the topics in more detail!<h2><strong><span>Build High Quality Android Apps Using Agents</span></strong></h2>

  <h3><strong><span>1: Android CLI: helping you build with any agent, LLM, and tool</span></strong></h3>
  <a href="https://goo.gle/CLI_IO26">Android CLI is now stable</a>. It offers programmatic tools that allow any AI agent, including Claude Code, Codex, or Antigravity, to perform core Android tasks much more easily and efficiently. With today’s release, it also provides a bridge to tap directly into the "heavy-lifting" power of Android Studio to give you the production-ready polish needed for professional Android development. By leveraging the new android studio commands, developers can now grant their preferred agents the ability to perform semantic symbol resolution, analyze files for warnings, and even render Jetpack Compose previews. This release also enables official support for "Journeys" through new <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/agents/android-skills">Android skills</a>, which enables agents to execute end-to-end UI tests under your direction. Watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqmpZocmR8o&amp;list=PLOU2XLYxmsIKL_eEgkKJWDRhYUEvS9eYz&amp;index=23">developer keynote</a>, and tune into the <a href="https://io.google/2026/explore/pa-keynote-7">What’s New in Android tools talk</a> for more information.    <p><span></span></p><div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXrW3yDK9uH_I8MDyVxgYbPAXfrNTJvlMkXhaZFrM1X9ob0LvQbGe_ZC6anUeO_VNd181iptI_MIuEEpX-9GZdf6ZTJCN-WHpPzDCLOeSblo8vrjliSZ0rRrHwIsERWBjbbosP-M_WvA2pva9mF5FWVygAwQbdiW3SLZgJj9TpRIruG4H-ILsvSq_b4dc/w640-h442/agy-android-cli%20(2).png"></div><div class="separator"><span><i>You can now easily install Android CLI for use with Google Antigravity 2.0.</i></span></div><p></p>

  <h3><strong><span>2: Build production-ready apps with ease in Google AI Studio</span></strong></h3>
  Developers and creators can now <a href="http://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/05/build-android-apps-google-ai-studio.html">build native Android apps, simply with a prompt in Google AI Studio</a>. The apps are built with development best practices like Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, and APIs that leverage our recommended developer patterns. Google AI Studio enables developers to prototype, iterate via an embedded emulator, and deploy to physical devices without heavy local installations. Developers are then able to take those apps and share them to Android devices, as well as share them with others for testing through Google Play Console’s internal testing track. If a developer wants to prepare their app for a wider release, they’re able to take it to Android Studio for advanced debugging, testing, and UI polish. Watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqmpZocmR8o&amp;list=PLOU2XLYxmsIKL_eEgkKJWDRhYUEvS9eYz&amp;index=23">developer keynote</a>, and tune into the <a href="https://io.google/2026/explore/pa-keynote-7">What’s New in Android tools talk</a> for more information.<br><br><div><div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdRaw1v6rolr4alo0C6AWKdFchsMEQgtOGfmk2Ramb0IoOB7smDcVU3yC7YJMkvVQuCPJ9vQW53tQjaV-5wcgOGzMtFDmb_Jbv40an1kvQdqYburXnsONvLqckKL2MWuShi3XmQEstW761oOLjujOk3FMsh3FyAiy5-Pe7xdTwFdfkWOmEnHhQfUJhtCo/w640-h544/image1.gif"></div><i><div class="separator"><i>Use the embedded Android Emulator to create Android apps in Google AI Studio</i></div></i></div><h2><strong><span>3: Accelerating AI coding assistance with Android Bench</span></strong></h2>
  <a href="http://d.android.com/bench">Android Bench</a> is our LLM leaderboard for Android development challenges. The goal is to accelerate model improvements, so you have more useful options for AI assistance. Many of you have been using open-weight models for AI assistance, so we’re now adding commonly used ones, such as Gemma 4, to the leaderboard, so you can see how LLMs that offer offline access and additional flexibility for power-users measure up. We're continuously working on increasing the difficulty of challenges we’re giving LLMs, to continue encouraging more useful improvements. <h3><strong><span>4: Convert iOS apps to Android with the Migration Assistant in Android Studio</span></strong></h3>
  The Migration Assistant in Android Studio is designed to port apps from platforms like iOS, React Native, or web frameworks to native Android. By simply selecting an existing project, developers can have the agent intelligently map features, convert assets like storyboards and SVGs, and implement Android best practices using Jetpack Compose and our recommended Jetpack libraries. This effectively transforms what used to be weeks of manual porting into a streamlined agentic workflow that only takes hours. We shared a preview of the incoming feature in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqmpZocmR8o&amp;list=PLOU2XLYxmsIKL_eEgkKJWDRhYUEvS9eYz&amp;index=23">developer keynote</a>. </div><div><div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK7UKI_nzS7gOkDXYONAjCNbQ4eSqlgT8qqMT5D4qf0OjQUNtxj4Urpq-eTROMEDgrqLKGlwMm_lHA7ayG_BC1DkitQI1ZKsF5gYr-mPIxFUsz_8JPcVHFAtnHZoO2CrVjMEvJrqvBz8_WU1I0T1P2diDprR2B47PcA21oS3RLtbgrhmrpiWV-MAw9ks4/w640-h360/image9%20(1).gif"></div><div class="separator"><i>A sneak peek of the Migration Assistant converting an iOS app into a native Android app</i></div>

  <h2><strong><span>Building AI Into Your Apps</span></strong></h2>

  <h3><strong><span>5: Building Intelligent Apps with generative AI</span></strong></h3>
  Generative AI enables you to create apps that are more intelligent, personalized, and agentic than ever before. This year, we introduced the latest advancements in on-device intelligence with a preview of Gemini Nano 4 for tasks like data extraction and summarization. We also expanded cloud capabilities via Firebase AI Logic, allowing developers to leverage Gemini models with robust grounding (including URL, Maps, and web search) to build smarter, more capable assistants. Furthermore, we unveiled our hybrid inference approach and the new <a href="https://goo.gle/ADK_IO26">Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Android</a>, alongside communication protocols like AG-UI and A2UI that simplify the creation of autonomous, agentic experiences. To start integrating these powerful features, explore the <a href="https://developer.android.com/ai">developer documentation</a>, and watch the technical deep dive session where we showcase all these technologies.

  <h3><strong><span>6: Experiment with AppFunctions today</span></strong></h3>
  AppFunctions is an <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appfunctions/package-summary">Android platform API</a> with an accompanying <a href="https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appfunctions">Jetpack library</a> to simplify building Android MCP integrations. It empowers your apps to behave like on device MCP servers, contributing functions that act as tools for use by agents and assistants. AppFunctions integration with Gemini is currently in a private preview with trusted testers, and you can begin preparing your apps already. You can sign up for the <a href="http://goo.gle/eap-af">Early Access Program</a> and start experimenting using the <a href="http://d.android.com/ai/appfunctions">API guidance</a>, <a href="https://github.com/android/appfunctions">sample</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/android/skills/blob/main/device-ai/appfunctions/SKILL.md">skill</a> today.

  <h2><strong><span>The Future is Adaptive</span></strong></h2>

  <h3><strong><span>7: Android is now Compose First; Views are now in maintenance mode.</span></strong></h3>
  Compose is our standard for UI development, and we are moving to a Compose-first approach for all future guidance and libraries. Building on five years of evolution, the latest releases deliver a more mature toolkit, from the highly customizable Styles API to refined shared element transitions and enhanced input support. These updates allow you to build beautiful, adaptive apps with less code and better performance. Learn more about what Compose-first means for Android Development in <a href="http://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/05/android-ui-development-is-compose-first.html">our blog post</a>. <br><br></div><div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq9kh5gxOfSdY2w9ZeKdWropXpqP7rj4KtodIZA5B_j7ujQu-blrsQKKC0lI4VEsEycpLEwsZeJhHaNOY1Xe9DrIHDwVszYfQN0GQlwxz8xoVfg1oiIr9zNlUyqqdCl2M7pyHoHgVvC7omKRthmXNaO3GE5Q15XeZ1ALiugszd8qHxpWuHo2Eh79zYW4M/w640-h416/image5.png"></div><div><div><i>Build Android UI with Compose</i></div><h3><strong><span>8: Building seamless Android experiences across devices with Jetpack Compose</span></strong></h3><div>The Android ecosystem is now <a href="https://goo.gle/AdaptiveApps_IO26">Adaptive by Default</a>, moving fluidly across phones, foldables, tablets, cars, XR, and expanding usages with <a href="https://developer.android.com/googlebook">Googlebook</a> and connected displays. With over 580 million large-screen devices, and users on multiple devices spending up to 14x more on apps, the investment in adaptive design presents a massive opportunity. <a href="https://developer.android.com/compose">Jetpack Compose</a> is the definitive engine for this transition, offering core tools like our latest <a href="http://goo.gle/nav3">Jetpack Navigation 3</a> release, new experimental <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/adaptive/grid">Grid</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/adaptive/flexbox">FlexBox</a> layouts, enhanced non-touch input support, and <a href="https://developer.android.com/media/camera/camerax">CameraX</a> for correct camera previews across any window size. Furthermore, new <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/agents/android-skills">skills</a> in Android Studio make updating your existing app to adopt these adaptive patterns easier than ever.

<div class="separator">
  A truly differentiated Android experience is about delivering premium delight wherever your users are. At Google I/O ‘26, we showcased how the latest advancements in the Android ecosystem can help you elevate your app's quality while maximizing development efficiency.
</div>

<div>
  <p>To help you build apps that stand out, we're diving into the key tools and libraries designed to optimize your core performance, extend the surfaces of your app to other devices, and streamline how your app handles high-quality media. </p>
  <p>Here is a recap of the essential updates and sessions you need to know to deliver a next-level experience across form factors!</p>
</div>

<div class="separator">
  
</div>

<h3>Maximize app performance and ROI with the R8 Configuration Analyzer</h3>
<p>A premium experience is only as good as its foundation, and a performant foundation is what allows your app to scale across the Android ecosystem. This is especially true with the release of Android 17, which introduces conservative, device RAM-based app memory limits to target extreme memory leaks and outliers before they cause system-wide instability. To stay below these new system thresholds and prevent your app from being terminated, having a lean footprint is no longer optional: it’s a critical requirement.</p>
<p>This year, we’re making it easier to build highly optimized, fast apps by introducing the <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/app-optimization/r8-configuration-analyzer" target="_blank">R8 Configuration Analyzer</a> in Android Studio. R8 is your most powerful tool for improving app performance, but its effectiveness is often limited by overly broad "keep rules" that prevent the compiler from stripping away unused code. The new Configuration Analyzer provides optimization, obfuscation, and shrinking scores, allowing you to identify specific rules that are preventing the benefits of R8 optimization.</p>
<p>By optimizing their R8 configurations, developers at Monzo achieved a 30% improvement in cold starts and a 35% reduction in ANRs. Smaller, faster code isn't just about efficiency; it's about ensuring your app has the memory headroom to deliver delight on every form factor, from the phone to the car.</p>

<div class="separator">
  
</div>

<h3>Extend your reach with a unified approach to Widgets on Phones, Watches and Cars</h3>
<p>User interaction is shifting toward quick, glanceable moments—short bursts of information that keep users connected without needing to open the full app. To help you increase the reach of your app content, we are unifying the development experience across the Android ecosystem with Jetpack Glance. By using a consistent, Compose-based model, you can elevate the content most important to your users straight to the phone’s home screen, Wear Widgets (previously Tiles!), and cars with a familiar workflow.</p>
<p>In order to help users engage with your content and features, even outside your app, we are making widgets more expressive and adaptive with RemoteCompose. On Wear OS, RemoteCompose allows you to use the Compose tools you’re already comfortable with to define UI logic that renders natively on remote surfaces, ensuring that your glanceable experiences remain highly performant and responsive even on resource-constrained hardware. On mobile and cars, RemoteCompose is used as a new framework giving Widgets new expressive capabilities.</p>
<p>You can use Jetpack Glance (together with RemoteCompose on Wear) to deliver a cohesive user journey. Whether it’s viewing flight status on the car dashboard, checking a gate change on a watch, or managing a boarding pass from a phone widget, this shared approach maximizes your app’s presence while keeping your development effort focused and efficient.</p>

<div class="separator">
  
</div>

<div>
  <h3>Supercharge your media pipeline with a complete, production-ready toolkit</h3>
  <div>Android has become a world-class home for the entire media lifecycle, and we are simplifying the journey from the first capture to the final playback. By leveraging Jetpack CameraX and Media3, you can build professional-grade experiences that feel native across the entire ecosystem. </div>
  <p>It starts with high-fidelity capture using the CameraXViewfinder Composable, which ensures your preview remains perfectly scaled and responsive on any form factor, including foldables and tablets. Use this to build adaptive capture experiences like a picture-in-picture view for multi-tasking, or that take advantage of modern features like high-frame-rate or slow-motion capture with CameraX v1.5.<br></p>
  <p>The new Media3 AI Effects library will provide a unified interface for premium features like Image &amp; Video Enhance, Magic Eraser, and Studio Sound. This allows you to focus on the creative intent while Media3 handles the heavy lifting of choosing the most efficient and reliable path for the device. Then, use the latest improvements in multi-asset editing with Media3 Transformer to composite your edited videos together!</p>
  <p>Complete the pipeline with tools designed for professional-grade export and viewing, including:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>CodecDB, which offers data-driven encoding recommendations tailored to specific chipsets, ensuring your exported videos maintain high visual quality with minimal noise or blurriness</li>
    <li>Scrubbing Mode in ExoPlayer to provide the buttery-smooth seeking experience users expect from premium media apps</li>
    <li>Enhanced Cast support with the new CastPlayer API in Media3</li>
  </ul>
  <p>By unifying these technical pillars, you can build a cohesive, high-performance media journey that delivers both delight for your users and high ROI for your development team.</p>

<p>
    While app performance is often equated with a smooth UI and fast start times, memory serves as the silent foundation upon which these visible metrics are built. It's no secret that we're seeing a shift where device memory is more important than ever. Not only have we made strides in Android memory optimizations with Android 17, we're providing the tooling and API support to help you stay ahead of stricter memory requirements later this year.
</p>

<p>
    To ensure device stability, starting in Android 17, the system will begin enforcing app memory limits based on the device's total RAM. If an app exceeds those limits, Android will kill the process with no associated stack trace.
</p>

<div>
    Beyond these forced terminations, unoptimized memory usage inevitably degrades the user experience. When the app approaches heap memory limits, it triggers frequent garbage collection—leading to noticeable UI stutters. Furthermore, when a device runs out of available memory, the system scrambles to reclaim pages, causing CPU strain, UI latency, and battery drain. If the memory shortage is too severe, it can cause Low Memory Killer (LMK) events that abruptly terminate background processes and force apps to have slow cold starts and lose user state.
</div>

<div>
    <p>To build highly performant apps and avoid these forced terminations, we recommend that you adopt the following memory optimization strategies:</p>

    <h3>Understanding Android 17 app memory limits</h3>
    <p>App memory limits are being introduced in Android 17 to prevent "one bad actor" from destroying the multitasking experience and stability of the user’s entire device.</p>
    <p>Here is a breakdown of the reasons driving this architectural change:</p>
    
    <div>
        <ul>
            <li><b>Preventing cascading kills:</b> When an app becomes bloated or leaks memory while holding a privileged state (e.g. it’s running a Foreground Service), it is initially shielded from the system's Low Memory Killer (LMK). As this single app grows unchecked and hoards RAM, the LMK is forced to compensate by killing off dozens of smaller, well-behaved cached apps and background jobs to reclaim space for the memory hog.</li>
            <li><b>Preserving multitasking and user state:</b> When the system is forced to purge cached apps to accommodate a single leaking process, the multitasking experience is severely degraded. Users returning to prior cached applications encounter sluggish cold starts instead of near-instant warm resumes. This inefficiency generates more CPU strain and accelerates battery depletion. It can also destroy the user’s context in recently used apps, such as scroll positions, navigation stacks, and in-game progress.</li>
        </ul>
        
        <div>
            <p>To determine if your app session was impacted by these constraints in the field, you can call <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ApplicationExitInfo#getDescription%28%29" target="_blank">getDescription()</a> within <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ApplicationExitInfo" target="_blank">ApplicationExitInfo</a>. If the system applied a limit, the exit reason is reported as <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ApplicationExitInfo#REASON_OTHER" target="_blank">REASON_OTHER</a> and the description string will contain "MemoryLimiter:AnonSwap". You can also leverage <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/tracing/profiling-manager/trigger-based-capture" target="_blank">trigger-based profiling</a> using <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/features#anomaly-profiling-trigger" target="_blank">TRIGGER_TYPE_ANOMALY</a> to automatically capture heap dumps when the memory limit is reached. Furthermore, Android is actively working to surface more in-field memory metrics to developers within the Google Play Console.</p>
            <p>We have also expanded our <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/behavior-changes-all#app-memory-limits" target="_blank">memory limits documentation</a> to include local debugging commands, allowing you to simulate memory constraints in your local environment and validate your application's behavior under any memory limit enforcement. </p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

<div>
    <h3>Maximize bytecode optimization with R8</h3>
    <p>A highly effective way to reduce your app's memory footprint is to enable the R8 optimizer. By shrinking classes, methods, and fields into shorter names and stripping out unused code and resources, R8 significantly reduces your app's memory footprint by minimizing the amount of resident code required during execution. </p>
    <p>R8 minimizes resident code, shrinking the memory footprint and lowering LMK termination risk. This results in more frequent warm starts over slow cold starts. Additionally, streamlined bytecode reduces main-thread CPU overhead, directly cutting ANR rates for a more fluid user experience. For example, the digital bank <a href="https://developer.android.com/blog/posts/monzo-boosts-performance-metrics-by-up-to-35-with-a-simple-r8-update" target="_blank">Monzo</a> enabled full R8 optimization and saw a 35% reduction in their ANR rate, a 30% improvement in cold start rate, and a 9% reduction in overall app size.</p>

</div>

<div>
    <p>To properly configure R8 in your <code>build.gradle</code> file:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>Set <code>isShrinkResources = true</code> and <code>isMinifyEnabled = true</code>.</li>
        <li>Use <code>proguard-android-optimize.txt</code> instead of the legacy <code>proguard-android.txt</code>, which actually prevents optimizations and is no longer supported in Android Gradle Plugin 9.</li>
        <li>Remove <code>android.enableR8.fullMode = false</code> from your <code>gradle.properties</code>.</li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>
        If you are using reflection in your code base, then add <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/app-optimization/keep-rules-overview#where-to-add-rules" target="_blank">Keep rules</a> to prevent R8 from optimizing those parts of the code. Make sure to scope the keep rules narrowly to get the maximum optimization.
    </p>
    <p>To get the maximum optimization, make sure to follow these best practices in your keep rule file.</p>
    
    <ul>
        <li>Remove global options like <code>-dontoptimize</code>, <code>-dontshrink</code>, and <code>-dontobfuscate</code> that prevent R8 from optimizing the entire codebase </li>
        <li>Remove keep rules that prevent optimizing Android components like Activity, Services, Views or Broadcast receivers.</li>
        <li>Refine the broad package wide keep rules to target only specific classes or methods.</li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>To see more best practices, view our <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/app-optimization/keep-rules-best-practices" target="_blank">keep rules documentation</a>.</p>
    
    <h3>Library Developer R8 Best Practices</h3>
    <p>If you are a library developer, strictly place the rules your consumers need into your <code>consumer-rules</code> file, and keep your library's internal protection rules in your <code>proguard-rules.pro</code> file. For more information on how to optimize libraries, see <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/app-optimization/library-optimization" target="_blank">Optimization for library authors</a>.</p>
    
    <h3>R8 Configuration Analyzer</h3>
    <p>To audit your R8 optimization, use the <b><a href="http://developer.android.com/r8-analyzer" target="_blank">Configuration Analyzer</a></b>. Configuration analyzer shows the current state of optimization with Obfuscation, Optimization, and Shrinking scores. With configuration analyzer, you can also understand how many classes, methods or fields are prevented from optimization by each keep rule. Refine these broad package wide keep rules to unlock the maximum optimization.</p>
    <p>Using configuration analyzer, you can also identify keep rules that are subsuming other keep rules, redundant keep rules and unused keep rules.</p>

<h3>Optimize image loading</h3>
<div>
    <p>Bitmaps are usually the largest common objects residing in your app's memory. They represent the final stage of the image loading process where compressed files, like JPEGs or PNGs, are decoded into raw pixel data for display. This means a tiny 100KB compressed image can balloon into several megabytes of RAM because memory consumption is determined by the image's pixel dimensions and color depth. Since bitmap operations are frequently on the critical path to drawing frames, unoptimized images cause severe memory bloat and UI jank.</p>
    <p>Google recommends leveraging image loading libraries <b><a href="https://github.com/coil-kt/coil" target="_blank">Coil</a></b> for Kotlin-first projects, particularly when developing with Jetpack Compose and <b><a href="https://github.com/bumptech/glide" target="_blank">Glide</a></b> for Java-based applications.</p>
    
    <h4><span>Adopt these five best practices</span></h4>
    <ol>
        <li><b>Downsample images:</b> If you’re loading bitmaps manually, avoid loading a massive image into a tiny thumbnail view; use <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/graphics/load-bitmap" target="_blank">inSampleSize</a> to load a smaller version. Glide and Coil downsamples images by default and you can configure this downsample strategy using <a href="https://bumptech.github.io/glide/javadocs/470/com/bumptech/glide/load/resource/bitmap/DownsampleStrategy.html" target="_blank">DownsampleStrategy</a> and <a href="https://coil-kt.github.io/coil/image_loaders/" target="_blank">ImageLoader</a> respectively.</li>
        <li><b>Cropping:</b> Avoid embedding padding directly into an image file for letterboxing purposes (e.g., creating a transparent border to expand an image dimensions). Rather than baking in these borders, utilize <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/InsetDrawable" target="_blank">InsetDrawable</a> or apply padding directly within the View or Composable containing the bitmap.</li>
        <li><b>Config:</b> Balance memory and quality by choosing the right pixel format. Use <code>RGB_565</code> when transparency isn't needed, which uses half the memory of the default <code>ARGB_8888</code> format. In Glide you can configure this by using <a href="https://bumptech.github.io/glide/javadocs/470/com/bumptech/glide/load/DecodeFormat.html" target="_blank">DecodeFormat</a> and in Coil you can use <a href="https://coil-kt.github.io/coil/api/coil-core/coil3.request/-image-request/" target="_blank">bitmapConfig</a> property.</li>
        <li><b>Prioritize vector drawables:</b> For basic geometric assets, leverage <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/ShapeDrawable" target="_blank">ShapeDrawable</a> as a lightweight alternative to decoding rasterized bitmaps. By defining these assets once via XML, you ensure they scale seamlessly across all display densities while effectively eliminating resource-driven memory bloat.</li>
        <li><b>Reuse:</b> If your application manages Bitmaps manually then to minimize memory churn, when a bitmap is no longer required, the app should call <code>bitmap.recycle()</code> and immediately discard the Bitmap reference. If you use an image loading library like Glide or Coil, return the bitmap to the library’s managed pool. By providing an existing buffer for future memory needs, the pool effectively avoids the overhead of new allocations.</li>
    </ol>
    
    <p>Check out our documentation on <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/graphics/images/optimization" target="_blank">Optimizing performance for images</a> to learn more.</p>
    
    <h4><span>Android Studio tooling</span></h4>
    <p>You can also eliminate redundant bitmaps using Android Studio Narwhal 4. Here is how to hunt them down in five simple steps:</p>
    <ol>
        <li>Open the <b>Profiler</b> tab in Android Studio</li>
        <li>Click <b>Heap Dump</b> (or "Analyze Memory Usage") and hit record to take a snapshot of your app’s current memory state.</li>
        <li>Scan the analysis results for the <b>yellow warning triangle</b> ⚠️, which Android Studio uses to flag duplicate bitmaps being stored multiple times. Alternatively, navigate to the profiler header, choose "Filter by:" and pick the "Duplicate Bitmaps" setting.</li>
        <li>Click on any flagged entry to open the <b>Bitmap Preview</b> pane, allowing you to see exactly which image is the repeat offender.</li>
        <li>Use that visual confirmation to track down the redundant loading logic in your code and implement a better caching strategy.</li>
    </ol>

<h3>Detect and fix memory leaks with Android Studio</h3>
<p>Memory leaks in Android occur when your code holds onto an object's reference long after its lifecycle has ended. This prevents the Garbage Collector (GC) from reclaiming that memory, eventually leading to sluggish performance or OutOfMemoryError (OOM).</p>
<p>Android Studio Panda 3 features a dedicated <a href="https://square.github.io/leakcanary/" target="_blank">LeakCanary</a> profiler task, allowing developers to analyze real-time memory leaks and map traces within the IDE.</p>
<p>The LeakCanary profiler task in Android Studio actively moves the memory leak analysis from your device to your development machine, resulting in a significant performance boost during the leak analysis phase as compared to on-device leak analysis.</p>

    <i>LeakCanary memory leak analysis contextualized with <b>Go to declaration</b> for debugging</i>
</div>

<p>Additionally, the leak analysis is now contextualized within the IDE and fully integrated with your source code, providing features like go to declaration and other helpful code connections that drastically reduce the friction and time required to investigate and fix memory leaks.</p>

<div>
    <h4><span>Examples of common memory leaks </span></h4>
    <p>Memory leaks occur when an object persists in memory beyond its intended lifespan. This typically happens due to:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>Retaining references to Fragments, Activities, or Views that are no longer in use.</li>
        <li>Mismanaging Context references.</li>
        <li>Failing to properly unregister observers, listeners, and receivers.</li>
        <li>Creating static references to objects that are bound to components with shorter lifecycles.</li>
    </ul>

<h3>Trim memory when app leaves visible state</h3>
<p>Android can reclaim memory from your app or stop your app entirely if necessary to free up memory for critical tasks, as explained in <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/memory-overview" target="_blank">Overview of memory management</a>. Android will usually reclaim memory from your app when it’s not visible to the user, such as by discarding some of your app’s code and data pages in memory or compressing your heap allocations. When the user resumes your app and your app tries to access some memory that’s been reclaimed, the OS will swap that memory back in on demand. This swapping behavior can be slow, and cause unexpected jank or stutters in your app.</p>
<p>If you leave it to the OS to decide what memory to reclaim from your app, you may find that the OS reclaimed memory that you’ll need shortly after resuming your app. Instead, your app can voluntarily discard memory allocations that it can regenerate later, on demand and at a low cost. To do so, you can implement the <code>ComponentCallbacks2</code> interface. You can implement <code>onTrimMemory</code> in your <code>Activity</code>, <code>Fragment</code>, <code>Service</code>, or even your custom <code>Application</code> class. Using it in the <code>Application</code> class is highly effective for global cache management.</p>
<p>The provided <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2#onTrimMemory(int)" target="_blank">onTrimMemory()</a> callback method notifies your app of lifecycle or memory-related events that present a good opportunity for your app to voluntarily reduce its memory usage.</p>
<p>In terms of memory lifecycle management, your implementation should focus <b>exclusively</b> on <code>TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN</code> and <code>TRIM_MEMORY_BACKGROUND</code>. Since Android 14, the system has ceased delivering notifications for other legacy constants, which were formally deprecated in Android 15.</p>
<p><code>TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN</code>: This signal indicates that your application's UI has transitioned out of the user's view. This provides an opportunity to release substantial memory allocations tied strictly to the interface—such as Bitmaps, video playback buffers, or complex animation resources.</p>
<p><code>TRIM_MEMORY_BACKGROUND</code>: At this level, your process is residing in the background and is now a candidate for termination to satisfy the system's global memory needs. To extend the duration your process remains in the cached state, and reduce the number of app cold starts, you should aggressively release any resources that can be easily reconstructed once the user resumes their session.</p>

<pre><code>import android.content.ComponentCallbacks2
// Other import statements.

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(), ComponentCallbacks2 {

    /**
     * Release memory when the UI becomes hidden or when system resources become low.
     * @param level the memory-related event that is raised.
     */
    override fun onTrimMemory(level: Int) {

        if (level &gt;= ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN) {
            // Release memory related to UI elements, such as bitmap caches.
        }

        if (level &gt;= ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_BACKGROUND) {
            // Release memory related to background processing, such as by
            // closing a database connection.
        }
    }
}</code></pre>

<p>Note: The <code>onTrimMemory</code> integration may depend on SDK support. For instance, certain games rely on their game engine to enable this capability. Please check out the <a href="https://developer.android.com/games/optimize/memory-allocation" target="_blank">game memory optimization documents</a>.</p>

<h3>Advanced memory observability with ProfilingManager</h3>
<p>To catch and diagnose memory issues in the field that cannot be reproduced locally, you should leverage the <b>ProfilingManager API</b>. Introduced in Android 15, this advanced observability API allows you to programmatically collect real-user Perfetto profiles.</p>
<p>For teams that lack a dedicated infrastructure to manage and host performance artifacts, Crashlytics is exploring a specialized solution to streamline this workflow. They are inviting developers to <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe299a_zSNDfa164z7yyqoDjS05ZDRN86bAQKajuAOFEQ4G-w/viewform" target="_blank">provide feedback</a>.</p>

<p><b>Android 17 introduces new event-driven triggers</b>, most notably <code>TRIGGER_TYPE_OOM</code> and <code>TRIGGER_TYPE_ANOMALY</code>:</p>
<ul>
    <li>The <b>OOM trigger</b> automatically collects a Java heap dump at the exact moment an OutOfMemoryError crash occurs, providing precise allocation states. A collected OOM profile is provided the next time the app starts and registers the <code>registerForAllProfilingResults</code> callback.</li>
    <li>The <b>Anomaly trigger</b> detects severe performance issues, such as excessive binder spam or breached memory thresholds. The memory anomaly delivers a heap dump just prior to the system terminating the app.</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>  val profilingManager = 
applicationContext.getSystemService(ProfilingManager::class.java)
    val triggers = ArrayList<profilingtrigger>()  


    triggers.add(ProfilingTrigger.Builder(
                 ProfilingTrigger.TRIGGER_TYPE_ANOMALY))
    val mainExecutor: Executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()
    val resultCallback = Consumer<profilingresult> { profilingResult -&gt;
        if (profilingResult.errorCode != ProfilingResult.ERROR_NONE) {
            // upload profile result to server for further analysis          
            setupProfileUploadWorker(profilingResult.resultFilePath)
        } 

    profilingManager.registerForAllProfilingResults(mainExecutor, resultCallback)
    profilingManager.addProfilingTriggers(triggers)</profilingresult></profilingtrigger></code></pre>

<p>
    Once you’ve collected the heap dump, you can download the profile from the server, or locally via adb pull and drag and drop the file into the <a href="http://ui.perfetto.dev/" target="_blank">Perfetto UI</a>. To streamline your memory debugging workflow, use the <a href="https://perfetto.dev/docs/visualization/heap-dump-explorer" target="_blank">Heap Dump Explorer</a>, this is the new default view for heap dumps in Perfetto UI. This tool provides an intuitive interface for inspecting Java heap dumps, allowing you to visualize object allocation hierarchies, compute retained memory sizes, and identify the shortest path from garbage collection root. By leveraging the Heap Dump Explorer, you can rapidly pinpoint memory leaks, bloated retained objects such as excessive bitmap allocations, and analyze heap object allocations all in one place.

<p>
  Performance regressions are notoriously hard to reproduce, making regressions a massive bottleneck for mobile developers. Although signals like ANR rates indicate what issues occur in production, pinpointing the specific line of code that resulted in the performance issue has historically necessitated exhaustive manual reproduction or speculative trial-and-error experimentation.
</p>

<p>Datadog collaborated with Google to mitigate this frustration by integrating the ProfilingManager API (available on Android 15+ devices) into its Real User Monitoring (RUM) and Continuous Profiling platforms. This integration transforms the debugging workflow, allowing developers to move beyond surface-level symptoms to being able to detect the <em>why</em> behind a performance bottleneck.
</p>

By leveraging this system-level API, Datadog now processes millions of production profiles weekly across the globe according to Datadog internal data of June 2026. It provides engineering teams with a new level of visibility into real-world performance, all while maintaining a low runtime overhead for production-scale performance monitoring.

<h3>The impact of ProfilingManager</h3><p>
  ProfilingManager is a system service introduced in Android 15 that enables apps to programmatically collect performance data such as call stack samples, field traces and memory heap dumps directly from production environments. This capability shifts the engineering paradigm from reactive manual reproduction to proactive field analysis.</p><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWVOhdnTTwX9DT3ROPHDLHKm1aJ8Z0vo5wYsHTULe7oRBqsi2-pTblEC1ggNuVXdd5rCZv6RooG4dsdOqMM_8URLUxierH3KjujbTyVSFrqNIs01zMqb_o7uXFeYECms5s_CkX1WvAPaQeO5W9bpnvD4S4BNN0mH9qbanuTukvCg8LTozhNEhY0CQ0o0Q/s1280/AANDDM_DataDog_Quote_01.png"><img alt="ProfilingManager is a highly performant solution for code-level insights.  Of the solutions we evaluated, it has the lowest runtime overhead,  gives deep visibility into Java, Kotlin, and C++ traces, and opens the door to gather memory profiles and system-level traces during critical moments like ANRs and out-of-memory (OOM) errors. Yi Lu, Senior Engineer at Datadog" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWVOhdnTTwX9DT3ROPHDLHKm1aJ8Z0vo5wYsHTULe7oRBqsi2-pTblEC1ggNuVXdd5rCZv6RooG4dsdOqMM_8URLUxierH3KjujbTyVSFrqNIs01zMqb_o7uXFeYECms5s_CkX1WvAPaQeO5W9bpnvD4S4BNN0mH9qbanuTukvCg8LTozhNEhY0CQ0o0Q/s16000/AANDDM_DataDog_Quote_01.png"></a></div><br><p><br></p>

For example, a Google communications app used field traces to investigate why its cold start times were slower on newer, more powerful hardware. By diving into the field-collected traces and comparing traces across different device types, the engineer discovered a hidden scheduling issue: a background text-to-speech service was unnecessarily being prewarmed during app startup. The traces revealed that this background process was monopolizing the device's highest-performing big CPU core, forcing the app's main thread to sleep while the prewarm occurred.

<h3>Solving the Android code-level visibility challenge</h3><p>
  Prior to the implementation of ProfilingManager, Datadog’s Real User Monitoring (RUM) focused on high-level application health and session-level telemetry to assess the user journey. Engineering teams could monitor Android performance signals like time to initial display, ANR rates, CPU load, and frozen frames. These insights extended to granular interactions, such as network latency, touch events, and main thread hangs. However, while this data effectively highlighted which performance bottlenecks were surfacing in the field, it provided no clear path to identifying the root cause of these failures.</p><div><span face='"Google Sans", sans-serif'><br></span></div><p></p><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjW4Lm-zE5X2trjidQ0eh9i_Bhiwd7HnkOcMeRtA_4dABpGG0EPuer564cLFK4o3eb_N_zWmBAgpOa58eygLH5hwFF6kMg_4GFC98vRN4pd1LNZ-PG9W5wyHv-ptVcmIGo1M7FNPi9PKQ9iGsyZeVfr5jDK46HJHU-1Gsc6IZJdSvhrZVavqKiZmyYar0o"><img alt="We realized that across our profiling features, performance profiling on mobile applications remained a blind spot. Teams could see that an Android user experienced a slow screen render or an ANR, but lacked the same code-level visibility they relied on for their backend services. - Bryan Antigua, Senior Product Manager at Datadog" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjW4Lm-zE5X2trjidQ0eh9i_Bhiwd7HnkOcMeRtA_4dABpGG0EPuer564cLFK4o3eb_N_zWmBAgpOa58eygLH5hwFF6kMg_4GFC98vRN4pd1LNZ-PG9W5wyHv-ptVcmIGo1M7FNPi9PKQ9iGsyZeVfr5jDK46HJHU-1Gsc6IZJdSvhrZVavqKiZmyYar0o=s16000"></a></div><br><br><p></p>

<p>
  To address this, Datadog needed a profiling engine capable of capturing Android traces directly from devices in production with minimal performance impact. After evaluating alternative approaches, such as writing their own trace processor using Android Debug APIs, the team selected ProfilingManager because it is the most performant solution of the profiling options they evaluated and offloads the sampling decisions overhead to the OS.
</p>

<p>
  ProfilingManager supports a wide range of collection methods, including CPU traces, call stack sampling, memory analysis through Java heap dumps and native heap profiles. It enables developers to profile production builds, upload trace files to external storage, and review them in the Perfetto trace analyzer UI. As a SaaS provider, Datadog uploads, visualizes, and analyzes these profiles collected via its SDK, providing a unified view of application health. 
</p>

By centralizing high-fidelity telemetry within a unified observability API, ProfilingManager empowers Datadog and its clients to proactively monitor, investigate, and remediate complex Android performance regressions through key technical advantages:

<ul>
  <li>
    <strong>Granular session diagnostics:</strong> ProfilingManager enhances debuggability by delivering direct OS-level trace data, overcoming the visibility and alignment challenges typical of custom logging with system services. To dive deeper, developers can download these traces from Datadog to investigate further in visualization tools like the <a href="https://ui.perfetto.dev/">Perfetto UI</a>. 
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>Automated telemetry triggers:</strong> By leveraging native system events to initiate trace recordings at key optimization points, Datadog reduces the need to build custom collection logic. While the initial rollout focuses on the <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/ProfilingTrigger?_gl=1*xix6h8*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTc4ODI2NDgwMy4xNzc5MzE2ODcw*_ga_6HH9YJMN9M*czE3NzkzMTY4NzAkbzEkZzAkdDE3NzkzMTY4NzAkajYwJGwwJGgyMTE1NzIyNjk1#TRIGGER_TYPE_APP_FULLY_DRAWN">APP_FULLY_DRAWN </a>signal, there are already plans to expand this observability to include <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/ProfilingTrigger?_gl=1*1hl4p7n*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTc4ODI2NDgwMy4xNzc5MzE2ODcw*_ga_6HH9YJMN9M*czE3NzkzMTY4NzAkbzEkZzAkdDE3NzkzMTY4NzAkajYwJGwwJGgyMTE1NzIyNjk1#TRIGGER_TYPE_ANR">ANR</a>, <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/ProfilingTrigger?_gl=1*8x3pd*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTc4ODI2NDgwMy4xNzc5MzE2ODcw*_ga_6HH9YJMN9M*czE3NzkzMTY4NzAkbzEkZzAkdDE3NzkzMTY4NzAkajYwJGwwJGgyMTE1NzIyNjk1#TRIGGER_TYPE_OOM">OOM</a>, and <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/ProfilingTrigger?_gl=1*1ezx2ma*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTc4ODI2NDgwMy4xNzc5MzE2ODcw*_ga_6HH9YJMN9M*czE3NzkzMTY4NzAkbzEkZzAkdDE3NzkzMTY4NzAkajYwJGwwJGgyMTE1NzIyNjk1#TRIGGER_TYPE_COLD_START">COLD_START</a> triggers.</li>
  <li>
    <strong>Proactive trace snapshots:</strong> By interfacing directly with the system-level Perfetto service (traced), ProfilingManager utilizes a proactive background recording model designed to capture unpredictable issues. This ensures that developers receive a precise visualization of the events leading up to a performance anomaly, offering a level of insight that exceeds what is possible through manual instrumentation. 
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>Bottleneck detection at scale:</strong> Datadog is able to synthesize telemetry from across Datadog’s global customer base to uncover regressions that only emerge under unique hardware configurations and variable network environments.
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>System-enforced resource stability:</strong> The API leverages sampling trace collection to ensure performance and user experience impacts remain unnoticeable.
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>On-device data controls:</strong> ProfilingManager filters out irrelevant information from other processes on-device before the profile is delivered to the app. This minimizes file sizes and ensures that only data relevant to the app's processes is provided.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Processing millions of weekly profiles to optimize real-world apps</h3><p></p><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr2ikpIrv_Km0RiIq-khGPFHpfA5CRYHfnLj2oRxLSuTk2x8qJFoO4UyNiwMpJphecSAVR4aWcJEB7BzvkXYjkyDggRDUYhLTBGhoj5q3b6BmwA5IcsER1_k5tffie6pteW3YNkIwI5Y6rG_Ie35Xzzq-mEnfq8iinA_cd_r5ydCxfRwajPSngrY1591k/s3464/datadog-profiling-blogpost-final.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="1686" data-original-width="3464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr2ikpIrv_Km0RiIq-khGPFHpfA5CRYHfnLj2oRxLSuTk2x8qJFoO4UyNiwMpJphecSAVR4aWcJEB7BzvkXYjkyDggRDUYhLTBGhoj5q3b6BmwA5IcsER1_k5tffie6pteW3YNkIwI5Y6rG_Ie35Xzzq-mEnfq8iinA_cd_r5ydCxfRwajPSngrY1591k/s16000/datadog-profiling-blogpost-final.png"></a></div><i><div><i>An example of Datadog's time to initial display measurement with </i></div><div><i>stack sampling powered by ProfilingManager</i></div></i><br>Integrating a system-level profiling API into a global monitoring SDK required solving infrastructure challenges.

While 99% of apps on Play have been registered automatically, you should check your <a href="https://play.google.com/console/u/0/developers/5700313618786177705/android-developer-verification">Play Console Home page</a> to register any remaining apps by September 30, 2026 to avoid global removal from Google Play and ensure a seamless user installation experience. </blockquote><br><blockquote>You can also use Play Console to register apps you distribute outside of Google Play to ensure they can be installed on certified Android devices.</blockquote><span><div><br></div></span><div>Last year, we introduced <a href="https://developer.android.com/developer-verification">Android developer verification</a> to strengthen ecosystem security and stop malicious actors from hiding behind anonymity to release harmful apps. Millions of apps have been registered since the verification launched in March, covering nearly all installs on Google Play and a large majority of installs from outside of Google Play. We appreciate the feedback and partnership from industry leaders, developers, and Android communities that helped us design this experience and drive strong adoption.<h2>Initial launch across seven stores and four countries</h2>

<p>These new developer verification protections will take effect on September 30, 2026, starting with users in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.</p>

<p>This rollout is an <b>industry-wide effort to create a safer ecosystem</b>. We will begin by verifying app installations from the following stores:</p>

<ul>
    <li>Google (Google Play)</li>
    <li>Honor (HONOR App Market)</li>
    <li>OPlus (OPPO App Market)</li>
    <li>Samsung (Galaxy Store)</li>
    <li>Transsion (Palm Store)</li>
    <li>vivo (V-Appstore)</li>
    <li>Xiaomi (GetApps)</li>
</ul>

<p>Following this initial phase with our partners, we will expand these protections globally for all apps on certified Android devices in 2027.</p><h2>Automate your workflow with new APIs</h2>

<p>To further streamline app registration, we are<b> launching a suite of developer-requested APIs</b> to help you register apps in bulk or directly through your continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. The Android Developer ID Status API will let you check if a package name has already been registered, and the Android Developer Console API will let you register and manage package names directly within your development environment. Both APIs also support OAuth delegation, allowing third-party platforms, like Android app stores, to perform these operations natively on your behalf.</p>

We'll launch these APIs over the next few months.<h2>What’s next</h2>

<p></p><ul><li><strong>June 2026:</strong> Starting this month, we are rolling out a new <a href="https://support.google.com/android/answer/17065026">system service</a> that will be automatically installed on most Android devices.

<h2>Rethink layout architecture for dynamic displays, including ultra-wide foldables</h2>

<p>Building for the latest foldables means dropping assumptions about display orientation and size. This is especially true for the Galaxy Z Fold8, which adopts an ultra-wide display, adding to the variety of aspect ratios to account for.  Devices with this landscape-first natural orientation show the limitations of hardcoded layout rules when users unfold the device. That’s why we’ve introduced <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/adaptive-apps/guides/foldables/trifolds-and-landscape-foldables" target="_blank">dedicated guidance for building for landscape foldables and trifolds.</a></p><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdDMq9mmhR2NzEVD5cgQgT3Y5DgMZOV5FrjsJb-wSiZVvJjIiDQuUkfv0cjBHQMREjOKPqz9n6wPf-x5Hn6H7uT2_JiXA3Nykcr1UwnwDRK9jGFurhTRKR-5t1BN62ISXFznXhQ_e-03Mo6uIh5-BDVmNbA1Q4RY9rSg4VxBO0K6E6Dc4kViNpvuYefY/s1302/Samsung%20fold8%20phones.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="442" data-original-width="1302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdDMq9mmhR2NzEVD5cgQgT3Y5DgMZOV5FrjsJb-wSiZVvJjIiDQuUkfv0cjBHQMREjOKPqz9n6wPf-x5Hn6H7uT2_JiXA3Nykcr1UwnwDRK9jGFurhTRKR-5t1BN62ISXFznXhQ_e-03Mo6uIh5-BDVmNbA1Q4RY9rSg4VxBO0K6E6Dc4kViNpvuYefY/s1600/Samsung%20fold8%20phones.png"></a></div><br><p>To build a responsive UI that handles these physics seamlessly, focus on the following core pillars:</p>

<p></p><ul><li><b>Build fluid, adaptive layouts: </b>Wide aspect ratios and compact vertical heights require fluid UIs that scale responsively. Our updated <a href="https://developer.android.com/design/ui/mobile/guides/layout-and-content/adapt-layout" target="_blank">adaptive design guidance</a> advises considering the window class width first to determine layout changes, then adjusting for height. To let individual components fluidly adapt to the grid, structure your layout using flexible containers that allow your content to automatically wrap, span, and reflow. For design inspiration browse our <a href="https://developer.android.com/design/ui/gallery/social/pawparazzi" target="_blank">adaptive sample app</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/design/ui/gallery/social/dual-screen?hl=en" target="_blank">dual-screen</a> design galleries.</li><li><b>Track actual app space:</b> Your app's display space rarely matches the physical device size, especially on an ultra-wide screen during multi-window, split-screen, or multitasking states. Sometimes even the orientations differ. Leverage <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/adaptive-apps/guides/use-window-size-classes?hl=en" target="_blank">Window Size Classes</a> using the <a href="https://developer.android.com/blog/posts/jetpack-window-manager-1-5-is-stable" target="_blank">Jetpack Window Manager library</a> to calculate the exact space your app occupies.</li></ul><div><br></div>
  
<div class="separator">
  </div></div><div class="separator"><br></div><div class="separator"><div class="separator"><ul><li><b>Leverage the latest Jetpack Compose Update: </b>Start by adopting the stable <a href="https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/04/jetpack-compose-april-2026-updates.html" target="_blank">Jetpack Compose April '26 release</a> (<a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/bom" target="_blank">Compose BOM</a> version <code>2026.04.01</code>).Take advantage of the new structural layout tools to manage complex architectures. The new <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/adaptive/grid" target="_blank">Grid</a> API allows you to define dynamic tracks and column spans without the performance overhead of a lazy list. Pair Grid with the new <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/adaptive/flexbox" target="_blank">FlexBox</a> layout API to easily handle multi-axis alignment and dynamic item wrapping. You can also use the new <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/adaptive/mediaquery" target="_blank">MediaQuery</a> API to adapt your UI to its environment, using conditions to detect signals like device posture, window size, and keyboard types. </li><li><b>Make your app fold aware: </b>Use the Jetpack WindowManager library, which provides an API surface for foldable device window features such as folds and hinges. When your app is<a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/adaptive-apps/guides/foldables/make-your-app-fold-aware" target="_blank"> fold aware</a>, it can adapt its layout to avoid placing important content in the area of folds or hinges and use folds and hinges as natural separators.</li><li><b>Maintain app continuity:</b> Avoid breaking the user journey when the device configuration shifts. Retain your UI state using <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/viewmodel?hl=en" target="_blank">ViewModel</a> to ensure smooth transitions when a user folds or unfolds their device.</li></ul><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdxp09YbiUc9EzTGhIJ2fcoV67rLKb6Sm9UOVCISO4Xa0VVVnFUJG9PXSAYCq7gnHILLx8xoIx-L2C0blhugbADUa3nM0AOx8UQzGImu194B94Kt-CKAuK1CrGHUz10fBFs02Lmly-HO-fmBHFuZ9knuYRb6EP9v4-SpR7Ja-oeJZErJDUVEgEje0d7J8/s1920/7.22_MorphToTablet_Gif.gif"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdxp09YbiUc9EzTGhIJ2fcoV67rLKb6Sm9UOVCISO4Xa0VVVnFUJG9PXSAYCq7gnHILLx8xoIx-L2C0blhugbADUa3nM0AOx8UQzGImu194B94Kt-CKAuK1CrGHUz10fBFs02Lmly-HO-fmBHFuZ9knuYRb6EP9v4-SpR7Ja-oeJZErJDUVEgEje0d7J8/w640-h360/7.22_MorphToTablet_Gif.gif" width="640"></a></div><div><h2>Ensure seamless camera capture on foldable devices</h2><div>Camera implementation on foldables brings unique hardware quirks. Moving from a compact outer display to an expanded inner display introduces distinct layout aspect ratios while device rotation remains unchanged. If an app assumes a fixed portrait relationship between the camera sensor and the device layout, the app will likely suffer from sideways, stretched, or cropped previews during these folding transitions.</div><div> </div><div>When optimizing your app's media pipeline, migrate your capture experiences to <a href="https://developer.android.com/media/camera/camerax" target="_blank">CameraX</a> using the CameraX migration <a href="https://github.com/android/skills/blob/main/camera/camerax/SKILL.md">skill</a>. The library’s <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/camera/view/PreviewView" target="_blank">PreviewView</a> automatically handles sensor orientation, device rotation, and scaling behind the scenes. This guarantees a clean, stable preview regardless of how the user holds or positions the device. If you are maintaining an existing Camera2 codebase, integrate the <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/adaptive-apps/guides/foldables/trifolds-and-landscape-foldables#solution_2_cameraviewfinder" target="_blank">CameraViewfinder</a> library to apply these complex aspect ratio and rotation transformations automatically without needing a total architecture overhaul.</div></div><h2>Extend glanceable interactions to Wear OS 7</h2><div>The opportunity to build for this new generation of devices extends right to the wrist. Launching with Wear OS 7, Wear Widgets give you a fresh surface to provide users with instant, glanceable access to their essential updates. You can build these highly expressive experiences using <a href="https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/glance-wear" target="_blank">Jetpack Glance</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-remote" target="_blank">RemoteCompose</a>.

<p>The authoring organizations assess pro-Russia hacktivist groups are conducting less sophisticated, lower-impact attacks against critical infrastructure entities, compared to advanced persistent threat (APT) groups. These attacks use minimally secured, internet-facing virtual network computing (VNC) connections to infiltrate (or gain access to) OT control devices within critical infrastructure systems. Pro-Russia hacktivist groups—Cyber Army of Russia Reborn (CARR), Z-Pentest, NoName057(16), Sector16, and affiliated groups—are capitalizing on the widespread prevalence of accessible VNC devices to execute attacks against critical infrastructure entities, resulting in varying degrees of impact, including physical damage. Targeted sectors include <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/water-and-wastewater-sector" title="Water and Wastewater Systems">Water and Wastewater Systems</a>, <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/food-and-agriculture-sector" title="Food and Agriculture Sector">Food and Agriculture</a>, and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/energy-sector" title="Energy Sector">Energy</a>.</p>

<h2><strong>Background and Development of Pro-Russia Hacktivist Groups</strong></h2>
<p>Over the past several years, the authoring organizations have observed pro-Russia hacktivist groups conducting cyber operations against numerous organizations and critical infrastructure sectors worldwide. The escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022 significantly increased the number of these pro-Russia groups. Consisting of individuals who support Russia’s agenda but lack direct governmental ties, most of these groups target Ukrainian and allied infrastructure. However, among the increasing number of groups, some appear to have associations with the Russian state through direct or indirect support.</p>
<h3><strong>Cyber Army of Russia Reborn</strong></h3>
<p>The authoring organizations assess that the Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) Main Center for Special Technologies (GTsST) military unit 74455—tracked in the cybersecurity community under several names (see<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#AppB" title="Appendix B"><strong>Appendix B: Additional Designators Used for Cited Groups</strong></a>)—is likely responsible for supporting the creation of CARR —also known as “The People’s Cyber Army of Russia”—in late February or early March of 2022. Actors suspected to be from GRU unit 74455 likely funded the tools CARR threat actors used to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks through at least September 2024.</p>
<p>In April 2022, the group began using a new Telegram channel featuring the name “CyberArmyofRussia_Reborn” to organize and plan group actions. The channel creators recruited actors to use CARR as an unattributable platform for conducting cyber activities beneath the level of an APT, aimed at deterring anti-Russia rhetoric. CARR threat actors presented themselves as a group of pro-Russia hacktivists supporting Russia’s stance on the Ukrainian conflict, and they soon began claiming responsibility for DDoS attacks against the U.S. and Europe for supporting Ukraine.</p>
<p>CARR documented these actions through embellished images and videos shared on their social media channels, promoting Russian ideology, disseminating talking points, and publicizing leaked information from hacks attributed to Russian state threat actors.</p>
<p>In late 2023, CARR expanded their operations to include attacks on industrial control systems (ICS), claiming an intrusion against a European wastewater treatment facility in October 2023. In November 2023, CARR targeted human-machine interface (HMI) devices, claiming intrusions at two U.S. dairy farms.</p>
<p>The authoring organizations assess that by late September 2024, CARR channel administrators became dissatisfied with the level of support and funding provided by the GRU. This dissatisfaction led CARR administrators and an administrator from another hacktivist group, NoName057(16), to create the Z-Pentest group, employing the same tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) as CARR but separate from GRU involvement.</p>
<h3><strong>NoName057(16)</strong></h3>
<p>The authoring organizations assess that the Center for the Study and Network Monitoring of the Youth Environment (CISM), established on behalf of the Kremlin, created NoName057(16) as a covert project within the organization. Senior executives and employees within CISM developed and customized the NoName057(16) proprietary DDoS tool <code>DDoSia</code>, paid for the group’s network infrastructure, served as administrators on NoName057(16) Telegram channels, and selected DDoS targets.</p>
<p>Active since March 2022, NoName057(16) has conducted frequent DDoS attacks against government and private sector entities in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member states and other European countries perceived as hostile to Russian geopolitical interests. The group operates primarily through Telegram channels and used GitHub, alongside various websites and repositories, to host <code>DDoSia</code> and share materials and TTPs with their followers. </p>
<p>In 2024, NoName057(16) began collaborating closely with other pro-Russia hacktivist groups, operating a joint chat with CARR by mid-2024. In July 2024, NoName057(16) jointly claimed responsibility with CARR for an alleged intrusion against OT assets in the U.S. The high degree of cooperation with CARR likely contributed to the formation of Z-Pentest, which is composed of actors and administrators from both teams, in September 2024.</p>
<h3><strong>Z-Pentest</strong></h3>
<p>Established in September 2024, Z-Pentest is composed of members from CARR and NoName057(16). The group specializes in OT intrusion operations targeting globally dispersed critical infrastructure entities. Additionally, the group uses “hack and leak” operations and defacement attacks to draw attention to their pro-Russia messaging. Unlike other pro-Russia hacktivist groups, Z-Pentest largely avoids DDoS activities, claiming OT intrusions as attempts to garner more attention from the media.</p>
<p>Shortly after Z-Pentest’s inception, the group announced alliances with CARR and NoName057(16), possibly to leverage the other groups’ subscribers to grow the new channel. In March 2025, Z-Pentest posted evidence claiming OT device intrusions to their channel using a NoName057(16) cyberattack campaign hashtag. Similarly, in April 2025, Z-Pentest shared a video purporting defacement of an HMI by changing system names to NoName057(16) and CARR references. Z-Pentest continues to create new alliances with other groups, like Sector16, to continue growing their subscriber base and incidentally propagate TTPs with new partners.</p>
<h3><strong>Sector16</strong></h3>
<p>Formed in January 2025, Sector16 is a novice pro-Russia hacktivist group that emerged through collaboration with Z-Pentest. Sector16 actively maintains an online presence, including a public Telegram channel where they share videos, statements, and claims of compromising U.S. energy infrastructure. These communications often align with pro-Russia narratives and reflect their self-proclaimed support for Russian geopolitical objectives.</p>
<p>Members of Sector16 may have received indirect support from the Russian government in exchange for conducting specific cyber operations that further Russian strategic goals. This aligns with broader Russian cyber strategies that involve leveraging non-state threat actors for certain cyber activities, adding a layer of deniability.</p>
<h2><strong>Technical Details</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This advisory uses the MITRE ATT&amp;CK<sup>®</sup> <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v18/matrices/enterprise/" title="Matrix for Enterprise framework" data-entity-type="external">Matrix for Enterprise framework</a>, version 18. See the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#MITRE" title="MITRE ATT&amp;CK Tactics and Techniques"><strong>MITRE ATT&amp;CK Tactics and Techniques</strong></a> section of this advisory for a table of the threat actors’ activity mapped to MITRE ATT&amp;CK tactics and techniques.</p>
<h3><strong>TTP Overview</strong></h3>
<p>Pro-Russia hacktivist groups employ easily disseminated and replicated TTPs across various entities, increasing the likelihood of widespread adoption and escalating the frequency of intrusions. These groups have limited capabilities, frequently misunderstanding the processes they aim to disrupt. Their apparent low level of technical knowledge results in haphazard attacks where actors intend to cause physical damage but cannot accurately anticipate actual impact. Despite these limitations, the authoring organizations have observed these groups willfully cause actual harm to vulnerable critical infrastructure.</p>
<p>Pro-Russia hacktivist groups use the TTPs in this Cybersecurity Advisory to target virtual network computing (VNC)-connected HMI devices. These groups are primarily seeking notoriety with their actions. While they have caused damage in some instances, they regularly make false or exaggerated claims about their attacks on critical infrastructure to garner more attention. They frequently misrepresent their capabilities and the impacts of their actions, portraying minor incursions as significant breaches, but such incursions can still lead to lost time and resources for operators remediating systems.</p>
<p>Additionally, pro-Russia hacktivists use an opportunistic targeting methodology. They leverage superficial criteria, such as victim availability and existing vulnerabilities, rather than focusing on strategically significant entities. Their lack of strategic focus can lead to a broad array of targets, ranging from water treatment facilities to oil well systems. Pro-Russia hacktivists have demonstrated a pattern of frequently taking advantage of the widespread availability of vulnerable VNC connections. While system owners typically use VNC connections for legitimate remote system access functions, threat actors can maliciously use these connections to broadly target numerous platforms and services. Consequently, these groups can indiscriminately compromise critical infrastructure entities, including those in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/water-and-wastewater-sector" title="Water and Wastewater Sector">Water and Wastewater</a>, <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/food-and-agriculture-sector" title="Food and Agriculture Sector" data-entity-type="external">Food and Agriculture</a>, and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/energy-sector" title="Energy Sector">Energy</a> Sectors.</p>
<p>Pro-Russia hacktivist groups have successfully targeted supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) networks using basic methods, and in some cases, performed simultaneous DDoS attacks against targeted networks to facilitate SCADA intrusions. As recently as April 2025, threat actors used the following unsophisticated TTPs to access networks and conduct SCADA intrusions:</p>

<h4><strong>Propagation</strong></h4>
<p>To reach a wider audience, pro-Russia hacktivist groups work together, amplify each other’s posts, create additional groups to amplify their own posts, and likely share TTPs. For example, Z-Pentest jointly claimed intrusion of a U.S. system with Sector16. Sector16 later began posting additional intrusions for which the group claimed sole responsibility. It is likely that these and similar groups will continue to iterate and share these methods to disrupt critical infrastructure organizations.</p>
<h4><strong>Reconnaissance and Initial Access</strong></h4>
<p>The threat actors’ intrusion methodology is relatively unsophisticated, inexpensive to execute, and easy to replicate. These pro-Russia hacktivist groups abuse popular internet-scraping tools, such as <code>Nmap</code> or <code>OPENVAS</code>, to search for visible VNC services and use brute force password spraying tools to access devices via known default or otherwise weak credentials. Threat actors typically search for these services on the default port <code>5900</code> or other nearby ports (<code>5901-5910</code>). Their goal is to gain remote access to HMI devices connected to live control networks.</p>
<p>Once threat actors obtain access, they manipulate available settings from the graphical user interface (GUI) on the HMI devices, such as arbitrary physical parameter and setpoint changes, or conduct defacement activities. Because pro-Russia hacktivist groups seem to lack sector-specific expertise or cyber-physical engineering knowledge, they currently cannot reliably estimate the true impact of their actions. Regardless of outcome, pro-Russia hacktivist groups often post images and screen recordings to their social media platforms, boasting the compromises and exaggerating impacts to garner attention from their peers and the media.</p>
<h4><strong>Impact</strong></h4>
<p>While pro-Russia hacktivist groups currently demonstrate limited ability to consistently cause significant impact, there is a risk that their continued attacks will result in further harm or grievous physical consequences. Attacks have not yet caused injury; however, the attacks against occupied factories and community facilities demonstrate a lack of consideration for human safety.</p>
<p>Victim organizations reported that the most common operational impact caused by these threat actors is a temporary loss of view, necessitating manual intervention to manage processes. However, any modifications to programmatic and systematic procedures can result in damage or disruption, including substantial labor costs from hiring a programmable logic controller programmer to restore operations, costs associated with operational downtime, and potential costs for network remediation.</p>

<h2><strong>Incident Response</strong></h2>
<p>If organizations find exposed systems with weak or default passwords, they should assume threat actors compromised the system and begin the following incident response protocols:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Determine which hosts were compromised and isolate them</strong> by quarantining or taking them offline.</li>
<li><strong>Initiate threat hunting activities to scope the intrusion</strong>. Collect and review artifacts, such as running processes/services, unusual authentications, and recent network connections.</li>
<li><strong>Reimage compromised hosts</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Provision new account credentials</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Report the compromise to CISA, FBI, and/or NSA</strong>. See the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Contact" title="Contact Information"><strong>Contact Information</strong></a> section of this advisory.</li>
<li><strong>Harden the network to prevent additional malicious activity</strong>. See the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Mitigations" title="Mitigations "><strong>Mitigations </strong></a>section of this advisory for guidance.</li>
</ol>
<h2><a class="ck-anchor"><strong>Mitigations</strong></a></h2>
<h3><strong>OT Asset Owners and Operators</strong></h3>
<p>The authoring organizations recommend organizations implement the mitigations below to improve your organization’s cybersecurity posture based on the threat actors’ activity. These mitigations align with the Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPGs) developed by CISA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The CPGs provide a minimum set of practices and protections that CISA and NIST recommend all organizations implement. CISA and NIST based the CPGs on existing cybersecurity frameworks and guidance to protect against the most common and impactful threats, tactics, techniques, and procedures. Visit CISA’s <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cross-sector-cybersecurity-performance-goals" title="CPGs">CPGs webpage</a> for more information on the CPGs, including additional recommended baseline protections.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reduce exposure of OT assets to the public-facing internet.</strong> When connected to the internet, OT devices are easy targets for malicious cyber threat actors. Many devices can be found by searching for open ports on public IP ranges with search engine tools to target victims with OT components [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#SecureInternetFacingDevices3S" title="CPG 3.S">CPG 3.S</a>].
<ul>
<li><strong>Asset owners should use attack surface management services </strong>and web-based search platforms to scan the internet. This mitigation can help identify if there are VNC systems exposed within the IP ranges they own, especially for connections set up by third parties.<br><strong>Note:</strong> For more information on attack surface management, see CISA’s <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/exposure-reduction" title="Internet Exposure Reduction Guidance">Internet Exposure Reduction Guidance</a>, CISA’s <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cyber-hygiene-services" title="Cyber Hygiene Services">Cyber Hygiene Services</a> for U.S. critical infrastructure, and NSA’s <a href="https://www.nsa.gov/Portals/75/documents/resources/everyone/Attack%20Surface%20Management%20copy.pdf" target="_blank" title="Attack Surface Management" data-entity-type="external">Attack Surface Management</a> for the U.S. Defense Industrial Base.</li>
<li><strong>Implement network segmentation between IT and OT networks.</strong> Segmenting critical systems and introducing a demilitarized zone (DMZ) for passing control data to enterprise logistics reduces the potential impact of cyber threats and the risk of disruptions to essential OT operations [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#ImplementLogicalPhysicalNetworkSegmentation3I" title="CPG 3.I">CPG 3.I</a>].</li>
<li><strong>Consider implementing a firewall and/or virtual private network</strong> if exposure to the internet is necessary for controlling access to devices.
<ul>
<li>Consider disabling public exposure by default and implementing time-limited remote access to reduce the amount of time systems are exposed.</li>
<li>Restrict and monitor both inbound and outbound traffic at OT perimeter firewalls. Configure OT perimeter firewalls to enforce a default-deny policy for all traffic. Asset owners should explicitly permit authorized destinations and protocols based on operational requirements.</li>
<li>Implement strict egress filtering to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration or command-and-control callbacks.</li>
<li>Regularly audit firewall rulesets and monitor outbound traffic patterns for anomalies indicative of threat actor activity, such as beaconing or unexpected protocol usage.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Adopt mature asset management processes</strong>, including mapping data flows and access points. Generating a complete picture of both OT and IT assets provides visibility to operators and management, allowing organizations to monitor and assess deviations for criticality [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#ManageOrganizationalAssets2A" title="CPG 2.A">CPG 2.A</a>].
<ul>
<li><strong>Keep remote access services updated </strong>with the latest version available and ensure all systems and software are up to date with patches and necessary security updates.
<ul>
<li>Keep VNC systems updated with the latest version available.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Refer to the joint </strong><a href="https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/foundations-ot-cybersecurity-asset-inventory-guidance-owners-and-operators" title="Foundations for OT Cybersecurity: Asset Inventory Guidance for Owners and Operators"><strong>Foundations for OT Cybersecurity: Asset Inventory Guidance for Owners and Operators</strong></a> to help with reducing cybersecurity risk by identifying which assets within their environment should be secured and protected.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Ensure OT assets use robust authentication procedures.</strong>
<ul>
<li>Many devices lack robust authentication and authorization. Devices with weak authentication are vulnerable targets to threat actors using credential theft techniques.</li>
<li>Implement MFA where possible. Where MFA is not feasible, use strong, unique passwords. Apply password standards for operator-accessible services on underlying OT assets, as well as network devices protecting those services. This is especially important for services that require internet accessibility [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#ChangingDefaultPasswords3A" title="CPG 3.A">CPG 3.A</a>] [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#EstablishMinimumPasswordStrength3B" title="CPG 3.B">CPG 3.B</a>] [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#CreateUniqueCredentials3C" title="CPG 3.C">CPG 3.C</a>] [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#ImplementMultifactorAuthentication3F" title="CPG 3.F">CPG 3.F</a>].</li>
<li>Establish an allowlist that permits only authorized device IP addresses and/or media access control addresses. The allowlist can be refined to operator working hours to further obstruct malicious threat actor activity; organizations are encouraged to establish monitoring and alerting for access attempts not meeting these criteria [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#MonitorUnsuccessfulAutomatedLoginAttempts3E" title="CPG 3.E">CPG 3.E</a>].</li>
<li>Disable any unused authentication methods, logic, or features, such as default authentication keys and default passwords. Block all unused high ephemeral ports and monitor for attempted connections using standard protocols on non-standard ports [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#ProhibitConnectionofUnauthorizedDevices3R" title="CPG 3.R">CPG 3.R</a>].</li>
<li>Authenticate all access to field controllers before authorizing access to, or modification of, a device’s state, logic, program, or filesystems.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Enable control system security features </strong>that can separate and audit view and control functions. Limiting remotely accessible or default user accounts to “view-only” removes the potential for impact without exploiting a vulnerability [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#AdministratorsMaintainSeparateUserandPrivilegedAccounts3G" title="CPG 3.G">CPG 3.G</a>].</li>
<li><strong>Implement and practice business recovery/disaster recovery plans.</strong> Plans should also take into consideration redundancy, fail-safe mechanisms, islanding capabilities, backup restoration, and manual operation.
<ul>
<li>Include scenarios that necessitate switching to manual operations. Maintaining the capability of an organization to revert to manual controls to quickly restore operations is vital in the immediate aftermath of a cyber incident [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#IncidentPlanningandPreparedness6A" title="CPG 6.A">CPG 6.A</a>].</li>
<li>Create backups of the engineering logic, configurations, and firmware of HMIs to enable fast recovery. Organizations should routinely test backups and standby systems to ensure safe manual operations in the event of an incident [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#MaintainSystemBackupsRestorationAbility3O" title="CPG 3.O">CPG 3.O</a>].</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Collect and monitor the traffic of OT assets and networking devices.</strong> This includes unusual logins or unexpected protocols communicating over the internet, and functions of ICS management protocols that change an asset’s operating mode or modify programs.</li>
<li><strong>Review configurations for setpoint ranges or tag values </strong>to stay within safe ranges and establish alerting for deviations.</li>
<li><strong>Take a proactive approach in the procurement process</strong> by following the guidance outlined in the joint guide <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/secure-demand-priority-considerations-operational-technology-owners-and-operators-when-selecting" title="Secure by Demand: Priority Considerations for Operational Technology Owners and Operators when Selecting Digital Products">Secure by Demand: Priority Considerations for Operational Technology Owners and Operators when Selecting Digital Products</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>OT Device Manufacturers</h3>
<p>Although critical infrastructure organizations can take steps to mitigate risks, it is ultimately the responsibility of OT device manufacturers to build products that are secure by design. The authoring organizations urge device manufacturers to take ownership of the security outcomes of their customers in line with the joint guide <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/secure-by-design" title="Shifting the Balance of Cybersecurity Risk: Principles and Approaches for Secure by Design Software">Shifting the Balance of Cybersecurity Risk: Principles and Approaches for Secure by Design Software</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Eliminate default credentials and require strong passwords.</strong> The use of default credentials is a top weakness threat actors exploit to gain access to systems.</li>
<li><strong>Mandate MFA for privileged users.</strong> Changes to engineering logic or configurations are safety-impacting events in critical infrastructure. MFA should be available for safety critical components at no additional cost.</li>
<li><strong>Practice secure by default principles. </strong>OT components were initially designed without public internet connectivity in mind. When internet connection becomes necessary, implementing additional security measures is essential to safeguard these systems. Manufacturers should recognize insecure states and promptly inform users so they can make informed risk decisions.
<ul>
<li><strong>Include logging at no additional charge.</strong> Change and access control logs allow operators to track safety-impacting events in their critical infrastructure. These logs should be available for no cost and use open standard logging formats.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Publish Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs).</strong> Vulnerabilities in underlying software libraries can affect a wide range of devices. Without an SBOM, it is nearly impossible for a critical infrastructure system owner to measure and mitigate the impact of a vulnerability on their existing systems. See CISA’s <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/sbom" title="Software Bill of Materials">SBOM webpage</a> for more information.</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, see CISA’s <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/secure-design-alert-how-software-manufacturers-can-shield-web-management-interfaces-malicious-cyber" title="Secure by Design Alert">Secure by Design Alert</a> on how software manufacturers can shield web management interfaces from malicious cyber activity. By using secure by design tactics, software manufacturers can make their product lines secure “out of the box” without requiring customers to spend additional resources making configuration changes, purchasing tiered security software and logs, monitoring, and making routine updates.</p>

<h2><strong>Validate Security Controls</strong></h2>
<p>In addition to applying mitigations, the authoring organizations recommend exercising, testing, and validating your organization’s security program against the threat behaviors mapped to the MITRE ATT&amp;CK Matrix for Enterprise framework in this advisory. The authoring organizations recommend testing your existing security controls inventory to assess how it performs against the ATT&amp;CK techniques described in this advisory.</p>
<p>To start:</p>
<ol>
<li>Select an ATT&amp;CK technique described in this advisory (see <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Table1" title="Table 1"><strong>Table 1</strong></a> to<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Table10" title="Table 10"><strong>Table 10</strong></a>).</li>
<li>Align your security technologies against the technique.</li>
<li>Test your technologies against the technique.</li>
<li>Analyze your detection and prevention technologies’ performance.</li>
<li>Repeat the process for all security technologies to obtain a set of comprehensive performance data.</li>
<li>Tune your security program, including people, processes, and technologies, based on the data generated by this process.</li>
</ol>
<p>The authoring organizations recommend continually testing your security program, at scale, in a production environment to ensure optimal performance against the MITRE ATT&amp;CK techniques identified in this advisory.</p>

<h2><strong>Introduction</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Note:</strong><em> This advisory was originally published on April 7, 2026, to provide tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs) related to ongoing cyber exploitation of internet-connected operational technology (OT) devices by</em> <em>Iranian-affiliated advanced persistent threat (APT) actors. The authoring agencies updated this advisory on July 22, 2026, to add new guidance on detecting malicious changes in reusable code modules leveraged within Rockwell Automation PLC programs. It also expands the manufacturer scope to include observed targeting of Schneider Electric, Siemens, and potentially other branded/manufactured PLCs, emphasizing the importance of restricting direct internet access and providing best practice resources for secure deployment.</em></p>
<p>The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), National Security Agency (NSA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (DOE), United States Cyber Command – Cyber National Mission Force (CNMF), and Department of the Treasury (Treasury) (hereafter referred to as the “authoring agencies”) are urgently warning U.S. organizations of ongoing cyber exploitation of internet-connected OT devices—including PLCs manufactured by Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and potentially other manufactured PLCs—across multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors. As a result of this activity, organizations from multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors experienced disruptions through malicious interactions with PLC project files<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Note1"><sup>1</sup></a> and the manipulation of data displayed on human machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) displays. In a few cases, this activity caused operational disruption and financial loss.</p>
<p>The authoring agencies assess a group of Iranian-affiliated APT actors is conducting this activity to cause disruptive effects within the United States. The group targeted devices spanning multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors, including <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/government-services-facilities-sector" title="Government Services and Facilities">Government Services and Facilities</a> (to include local municipalities), <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/water-and-wastewater-sector" title="Water and Wastewater Systems">Water and Wastewater Systems</a> (WWS), and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/energy-sector" title="Energy">Energy</a> Sectors. The authoring agencies previously reported on similar activity targeting PLCs by <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa23-335a" title="CyberAv3ngers">CyberAv3ngers</a> (aka Shahid Kaveh Group)—a cyber threat actor affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Cyber Electronic Command (CEC).</p>
<p>Due to the widespread use of these PLCs, and the potential for additional targeting of other branded OT devices across critical infrastructure, the authoring agencies recommend U.S. organizations urgently review the TTPs and IOCs in this advisory for indications of current or historical activity on their networks, and apply the recommendations listed in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Mitigations"><strong>Mitigations</strong></a> section of this advisory to reduce the risk of compromise.</p>
<p>If owners and operators discover an affected internet-accessible device in their environment, additional technical measures may be necessary to evaluate the risk of compromise. Please engage your cyber incident response plans and contact the authoring agencies and applicable vendors through existing support channels available to customers and integrators (see <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Contact"><strong>Contact Information</strong></a>) to receive support, mitigation, and investigation assistance.</p>

<h2><strong>Background Information</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Similar Historical Activity Targeting Programmable Logic Controllers</strong></h3>
<p>During a similar campaign beginning in November 2023, the IRGC CEC-affiliated cyber threat actors known as "CyberAv3ngers” targeted U.S.-based PLCs and HMIs, causing disruptive effects. Private industry and open sources also refer to this group as Hydro Kitten, Storm-0784, APT Iran, Bauxite, Mr. Soul, Soldiers of Solomon, UNC5691, and the Shahid Kaveh Group. These attacks compromised at least 75 devices, targeting U.S.-based Unitronics PLC devices with an HMI used across multiple critical infrastructure sectors, including the WWS. APT actors developed and deployed custom ladder logic code to these devices, replacing the valid ladder logic with malicious code that continues to be observed to date.</p>
<p>For more information on this group’s activity, see the joint Cybersecurity Advisory <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa23-335a" title="IRGC-Affiliated Cyber Actors Exploit PLCs in Multiple Sectors, Including US Water and Wastewater Systems Facilities">IRGC-Affiliated Cyber Actors Exploit PLCs in Multiple Sectors, Including US Water and Wastewater Systems Facilities</a>.</p>
<h3><strong>Ongoing Threat Actor Activity Against U.S.-Based Programmable Logic Controllers</strong></h3>
<p>The FBI observed Iranian-affiliated APT actors targeting internet-exposed PLCs with the intent to cause disruptions—including maliciously interacting with project files, and manipulating data displayed on HMI and SCADA displays—to U.S. critical infrastructure organizations. Iranian-affiliated APT targeting campaigns against U.S. critical infrastructure have recently escalated, likely in response to hostilities between Iran, and the United States and Israel.</p>
<p><em><strong>(New, July 22, 2026) </strong></em>At one U.S. victim, the FBI observed the APT actors download a malicious project file to a targeted PLC using configuration software. Analysis indicated the project file retained ladder logic for downstream function but added logic that overrode specific instruction sets responsible for maintaining safe operating parameters in the victim’s environment.</p>
<p>Since at least March 2026, the authoring agencies identified (through engagements with victim organizations) an Iranian-affiliated APT group disrupted the function of PLCs. Organizations across several U.S. critical infrastructure sectors (including <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/government-services-facilities-sector" title="Government Services and Facilities">Government Services and Facilities</a>, <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/water-and-wastewater-sector" title="Water and Wastewater Systems">WWS</a>, and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/critical-infrastructure-security-and-resilience/critical-infrastructure-sectors/energy-sector" title="Energy">Energy</a> Sectors) deployed these PLCs within a wide variety of industrial automation processes. Some of the victims experienced operational disruption and financial loss.</p>
<h2><strong>Technical Details</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This advisory uses the <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/matrices/enterprise/" target="_blank" title="MITRE ATTACK Matrix for Enterprise">MITRE ATT&amp;CK<sup>®</sup> Matrix for Enterprise</a> framework, version 19. See the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#MITRE"><strong>MITRE ATT&amp;CK Tactics and Techniques</strong></a> section of this advisory for tables of the threat actors’ activity mapped to MITRE ATT&amp;CK tactics and techniques.</p>
<h3><strong>Initial Access</strong></h3>
<p><em><strong>(Updated, July 22, 2026)</strong></em> The authoring agencies observed Iranian-affiliated APT actors using several foreign-based IP addresses to access internet-facing PLCs manufactured by Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and potentially other manufactured PLCs [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T0883/" target="_blank" title="T0883">T0883</a>]. The actors used leased, third-party hosted infrastructure and manufacturers’ PLC programming software to connect to misconfigured victim PLCs. Inbound malicious traffic has been observed targeting PLC devices on the following ports: <code>44818</code>, <code>2222</code>, <code>102</code>, and <code>502</code>, as well as targeting modems on port <code>22</code>. Targeted devices include:</p>
<ul type="square">
<li><strong>Rockwell Automation:</strong> CompactLogix and Micro850 PLCs</li>
<li><strong>Schneider Electric:</strong> BMX P34/Modicon M340 PLCs</li>
<li><strong>Siemens:</strong> S7-1200 series PLCs</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Command and Control</strong></h3>
<p><em><strong>(Updated, July 22, 2026)</strong></em> The targeting of ports [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T0885/" target="_blank" title="T0885">T0885</a>] associated with other OT vendors’ protocols suggests these actors are opportunistically targeting devices manufactured by companies other than Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley, including Schneider Electric and Siemens. In one reported instance, the actors utilized Dropbear Secure Shell (SSH) software on victim modems to enable them to gain remote access through port <code>22</code> [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1219/" target="_blank" title="T1219">T1219</a>].</p>
<h3><strong>Exfiltration</strong></h3>
<p><em><strong>(New, July 22, 2026) </strong></em>The authoring agencies observed Iranian-affiliated APT actors using configuration software—such as Rockwell Automation’s Studio 5000 Logix Designer, Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Control Expert, and Siemens’ Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal—on leased, third-party hosted infrastructure to exfiltrate device project files from PLC devices to threat-actor-controlled infrastructure [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1041/" target="_blank" title="T1041">T1041</a>].</p>
<h3><strong>Impact</strong></h3>
<p><em><strong>(Updated, July 22, 2026)</strong></em> After the actors extracted device project files, the FBI and CISA identified the modification and deletion of project file logic, to include Add-On Instructions (AOIs) and data manipulation on HMI and SCADA displays [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1565/" target="_blank" title="T1565">T1565</a>]. Additionally, the changes disabled critical shutdown and alarm logic, allowing systems to enter unsafe conditions without notifying operators of the anomalies.</p>

<h2><a class="ck-anchor"><strong>Mitigations</strong></a></h2>
<p>The authoring agencies recommend organizations implement the mitigations below to improve your organization’s cybersecurity posture on the basis of the threat actors’ activity. These mitigations align with the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cpg" title="Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPGs)">Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPGs)</a> developed by CISA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The CPGs provide a minimum set of practices and protections that CISA and NIST recommend all organizations implement. CISA and NIST based the CPGs on existing cybersecurity frameworks and guidance to protect against the most common and impactful threats and TTPs. Visit CISA’s <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cpg" title="CPGs webpage">CPGs webpage</a> for more information on the CPGs, including additional recommended baseline protections.</p>
<h3><strong>Network Defenders</strong></h3>
<p>The cyber threat actors accessed PLCs manufactured by Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and potentially other branded/manufactured PLCs to cause disruptions to victim systems. To safeguard against this threat and threats to other types of PLCs, the authoring agencies urge organizations to consider the following mitigations.</p>
<p><em><strong>(Updated, July 22, 2026)</strong></em> In addition to contacting the authoring agencies, organizations and integrators operating PLCs from the manufacturers mentioned in this advisory should review the previously issued guidance to strengthen the security of their OT deployments:</p>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Immediate steps to prevent the attack:</strong></p>
<ul type="square">
<li><strong>Disconnect the PLC from the public-facing internet</strong> [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#SecureInternetFacingDevices3S" title="CPG 3.S">CPG 3.S</a>]. Follow the joint guidance <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/operational-technology/secure-connectivity" target="_blank" title="Secure Connectivity Principles for OT">Secure connectivity principles for OT</a> to safely allow remote access. Specifically, “remove inbound port exposure,” so the OT system is never directly exposed to the internet or external networks, and to ensure all access is mediated, monitored, and controlled. Do this through a secure gateway (jump host) that brokers the connection.<br>
<ul type="circle">
<li>Ensure cellular modems, used for remote field connectivity and access, are secured with strong authentication and updated.</li>
<li>Enable logs for connected modems and regularly review for suspicious activity to detect intrusions and improve incident response speed.</li>
<li><em><strong>(New, July 22, 2026) </strong></em>To mitigate unauthorized access to OT via cellular modems, organizations should consider implementing isolated architectures, such as private Access Point Name (APN), 5G Public Network Integrated Non-Public Network (PNI-NPN), cellular Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), or a site-to-site virtual private network (VPN).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em><strong>(New, July 22, 2026) </strong></em><strong>Strictly control network access to PLC devices.</strong><br>
<ul type="circle">
<li>Configure firewall rules or access control list (ACL) security features on PLCs or programmable controllers to allow only authorized communications between expected control system devices. Block access from unauthorized or threat actor-controlled IP addresses, such as those associated with hosting providers.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>For controllers with a physical mode switch, place the physical mode switch into run position to prevent remote modification. </strong>Devices should only be in the program or remote position when updating or downloading software online and immediately switched back to the run position when complete. (See Rockwell Automation’s<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Note2"><sup>2</sup></a><sup> </sup><a href="https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/rm/secure-rm001_-en-p.pdf" target="_blank" title="System Security Design Guidelines">System Security Design Guidelines</a> for manufacturer’s instructions.)<br>
<ul type="circle">
<li><em><strong>(New, July 22, 2026)</strong> </em>Prior to switching the device to run mode, review and validate project files, as changing modes will lock in the current project file downloaded to the device.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>For devices that allow software key switching, </strong>enable programming protection in PLC configuration software (S7 TIA Portal) to limit who can modify PLCs remotely. (See Siemens’ <a href="https://assets.new.siemens.com/siemens/assets/api/uuid:c9a2de6e-6bd0-4c32-bba0-f64cac44fcc9/industrial-security-operational-guidelines-en.pdf" target="_blank" title="Cybersecurity for Industry Operational Guidelines">Cybersecurity for Industry Operational Guidelines</a> for the manufacturer’s instructions.)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Follow-up steps to strengthen security posture:</strong></p>
<ul type="square">
<li><em><strong>(New, July 22, 2026)</strong> </em><strong>Review project files running on PLCs for unauthorized changes.</strong> Use vendor-provided integrity checking tools and visually compare the running program to known good logic. Ensure reusable logic and input/output configurations are valid. For Rockwell Automation PLCs listed in the <a href="https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/trust-center/security-advisories/advisory.SD1771.html" target="_blank" title="Customer Guidance to Disconnect Devices from the Internet">Customer Guidance to Disconnect Devices from the Internet</a>, check the AOIs for any anomalous modifications.<br>
<ul type="circle">
<li>If restoring from backups, verify the backup does not contain malicious logic before deployment.</li>
<li>Review logs and configurations on all connected devices, including modems, HMIs, and workstations, to assess potential lateral movement by threat actors. If it appears the actors connected to additional devices, reimage these devices to remove any potential malicious changes or access tools.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em><strong>(New, July 22, 2026)</strong> </em><strong>Ensure device passwords are changed from their default </strong>and are configured to use complex, unique combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols that are not easily guessable. Implementing robust password practices remains a critical security measure that can help prevent unauthorized access and strengthen the overall security posture of OT devices.</li>
<li><em><strong>(New, July 22, 2026)</strong> </em><strong>Take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation. </strong>Conduct comprehensive impact analysis and risk assessments prior to deploying defensive measures.</li>
<li><strong>Create and test strong backups of the logic and configurations of PLCs</strong>. Store backup files offline and secure the physical removal media to enable fast recovery.</li>
<li><strong>Implement multifactor authentication</strong> <strong>(MFA)</strong> [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#ImplementMultifactorAuthentication3F" title="CPG 3.F">CPG 3.F</a>] for access to the OT network from an external network.</li>
<li>If remote access is required, <strong>implement a network proxy, gateway, firewall, and/or VPN in front of the PLC to control network access</strong>.<br>
<ul type="circle">
<li>A VPN or gateway device can enable MFA for remote access even if the PLC does not support MFA. Implement security rules on these higher-level network security mechanisms to prevent the type of repeated and sustained login attempts seen during a brute force attack. When possible, implement a device control list for workstations sending messages or connecting to OT components.</li>
<li>Use the device control list to monitor for logon activity for unexpected or unusual access to devices from the internet.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Keep PLC devices updated with the latest software patches issued by the manufacturer.</strong> Use established downtime windows to install patches. <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog" title="Known Exploited Vulnerabilities">Known Exploited Vulnerabilities</a> may need to be prioritized outside a downtime window.</li>
<li><strong>Configure external and internal firewalls to block traffic using common ports </strong>associated with network protocols that are unnecessary for the particular network segment.</li>
<li><strong>Disable any unused authentication methods, logic, or features, </strong>such as default authentication keys and passwords, as well as unused or needed services such as Teletype Network (Telnet), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Virtual Network Computing (VNC), and web services.</li>
<li><strong>Monitor asset management systems for device configuration changes</strong>, which can be used to understand expected parameter settings.</li>
<li><strong>Monitor the content of network traffic</strong> for the following:<br>
<ul type="circle">
<li>Unusual logins to internet-connected devices or unexpected protocols to/from the internet. </li>
<li>Functions of industrial control systems management protocols that change an asset’s operating mode or modify programs.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em><strong>(New, July 22, 2026)</strong> </em><strong>Ensure service providers are informed of active threats targeting internet-connected PLC devices. </strong>Owners and operators should communicate directly with service providers to address risks, especially when remote monitoring or maintenance is involved. Some service providers may rely on internet connectivity essential to monitor and maintain OT/ICS operations but may not be fully aware of active threats.</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, the authoring agencies recommend network defenders apply the following mitigations to limit potential adversarial use of common system and network discovery techniques, as well as reduce the impact and risk of compromise by cyber threat actors:</p>
<ul type="square">
<li><strong>Reduce risk exposure</strong>. CISA offers a range of services at no cost, including scanning and testing, to help organizations reduce exposure to threats via mitigating attack vectors. CISA’s <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cyber-hygiene-services" title="Cyber Hygiene Services">Cyber Hygiene Services</a> can help provide additional review of organizations’ internet-accessible assets. </li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Device Manufacturers</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The following guidance is general in nature and not specific to any OT vendor. Some of the features, settings, and practices may already be offered by certain vendors. The inclusion of this guidance should not be interpreted as an assertion that vendors referenced do not offer such security features. Also, this advisory is not highlighting a new vulnerability in the identified products, but instead discusses opportunistic targeting. Device manufacturers can make opportunistic attacks more difficult at scale by encouraging more secure behavior by default and in operations, as discussed below. </p>
<p>Although critical infrastructure organizations using PLC devices can take steps to mitigate the risks, it is ultimately the responsibility of the device manufacturer to build products secured by design and default. The authoring agencies urge device manufacturers to take ownership of their customers’ security outcomes by following the principles in the joint guide <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/secure-demand-priority-considerations-operational-technology-owners-and-operators-when-selecting" title="Secure by Demand: Priority Considerations for Operational Technology Owners and Operators when Selecting Digital Products">Secure by Demand: Priority Considerations for OT Owners and Operators when Selecting Digital Products</a>, primarily:</p>
<ul>
<li>Change the manufacturers’ default settings to prevent exposing administrative interfaces to the internet.</li>
<li>Do not charge additional fees for basic security features needed to operate the product securely.</li>
<li>Support MFA, including via phishing-resistant methods.</li>
</ul>
<p>By using secure by design tactics, software manufacturers can make product lines secure “out of the box” without requiring customers to spend additional resources making configuration changes, purchasing tiered security software and logs, monitoring, and making routine updates.</p>
<p>For more information on common misconfigurations and guidance on reducing their prevalence, see joint advisory <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa23-278a" title="NSA and CISA Red and Blue Teams Share Top Ten Cybersecurity Misconfigurations">NSA and CISA Red and Blue Teams Share Top Ten Cybersecurity Misconfigurations</a>. For more information on secure by design, see CISA’s <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/securebydesign" title="Secure by Design">Secure by Design</a> webpage and joint guide.</p>
<h2><strong>Validate Security Controls</strong></h2>
<p>In addition to applying mitigations, the authoring agencies recommend exercising, testing, and validating your organization's security program against the threat behaviors mapped to the MITRE ATT&amp;CK for Enterprise framework in this advisory. The authoring agencies recommend testing your existing security controls inventory to assess how they perform against the ATT&amp;CK techniques described in this advisory.</p>
<p>To get started:</p>
<ol>
<li>Select an ATT&amp;CK technique described in this advisory (see<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Table3"><strong>Table 3</strong></a> to <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Table6"><strong>Table 6</strong></a>).</li>
<li>Align your security technologies against the technique.</li>
<li>Test your technologies against the technique.</li>
<li>Analyze your detection and prevention technologies’ performance.</li>
<li>Repeat the process for all security technologies to obtain a set of comprehensive performance data.</li>
<li>Tune your security program, including people, processes, and technologies, based on the data generated by this process.</li>
</ol>
<p>The authoring agencies recommend continually testing your security program, at scale, in a production environment to ensure optimal performance against the ATT&amp;CK techniques identified in this advisory.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Highlights</h3>
<ul>
<li>The profile backup mechanism has been enabled by default for all desktop platforms in Nightly, as well as Beta! The current plan is to have this ride out to Firefox 151 for Windows, macOS and Linux on May 18th!
<ul>
<li>This feature, when enabled, will create a copy of your profile data in the background and store it in a single file on your file system that you can restore from.</li>
<li>You will be able to manage this feature in Settings under Sync (for now)
<ul>
<li><a href="https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/files/2026/06/image6.png"><img alt="Firefox settings page showing the Backup feature in dark mode. Backup is enabled, with details of the most recent backup and a “Backup now” button. The page displays the backup file name and a backup location folder path, along with “Choose…” and “Show in folder” buttons. A “Sensitive data” section includes an option to back up passwords and payment methods with encryption, and a disabled “Change password” button." class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2074" height="517" src="https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/files/2026/06/image6.png" width="657"></a></li>

<li>As followups to the recent addition to the WebExtension tabs API to <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Working_with_the_Tabs_API#working_with_tab_split_views">support the new SplitView tabs feature</a>, tabs.group() and tabs.ungroup() have been fixed to work correctly with split view tabs, and fixed split views being prepended instead of appended to tab groups when adopted into a new window –<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2029099"> Bug 2029099</a> /<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2029534"> Bug 2029534</a></li>
<li>Adaptive autofill has been enabled on Nightly.
<ul>
<li>Previously, autofill only completed domains (e.g. typing red autofilled<a href="http://reddit.com/"> reddit.com</a>). Now it can also complete full URLs for pages you visit often (e.g. red →<a href="http://reddit.com/r/firefox"> reddit.com/r/firefox</a>), learning from what you actually click in the address bar. If a suggestion isn’t helpful, you can now dismiss it so autofill learns what not to show you too.

<h3>Project Updates</h3>
<h4>Add-ons / Web Extensions</h4>
<h5>Addon Manager &amp; about:addons</h5>
<ul>
<li>In preparation for the Project Nova restyling of the about:addons page, we have refactored about:addons into separate per-component ES modules, splitting the monolithic aboutaddons.js and aboutaddons.html into 16 dedicated component files under components/ (with no behavior or UI changes) –<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2032014"> Bug 2032014</a>
<ul>
<li>NOTE: if you have working on patches with changes to about:addons internals it is very likely you’ll need to rebase and solve merge conflicts hit on top of this refactoring, the internals are still largely the same as before but don’t hesitate to reach out to the Addons team if you have doubts / questions or need help to figure out how to adapt your patch of top of these changes</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h5>WebExtensions Framework</h5>
<ul>
<li>Fixed exportFunction to preserve the constructibility of the wrapped function instead of unconditionally making all exported functions implicitly as constructors –<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2033173"> Bug 2033173</a>
<ul>
<li>Thanks to Gregory Pappas for contributing this improvement to the Content Scripts’ Xray Wrappers helpers!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Fixed a Firefox 151 regression where extension content scripts accessing location.ancestorOrigins caused subsequent page script reads of the same property to fail with “Permission denied”, breaking sites like Gmail –<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2034329"> Bug 2034329</a>
<ul>
<li>Thanks to Simon Farre for promptly investigating and fixing this recent regression!</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h5>WebExtension APIs</h5>
<ul>
<li>Updated sessions.getRecentlyClosed() to remove the hardcoded cap when maxResults is omitted –<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1392125"> Bug 1392125</a>
<ul>
<li>Shoutout to Amine Zroual for contributing this enhancement to the sessions WebExtensions API!</li>

<h4>Fluent</h4>
<ul>
<li>We’re now at over 72% of our strings being Fluent! Got a component still using .properties? Convert when you can!</li>
<li><a href="https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/files/2026/06/image5.png"><img alt="Stacked area chart titled “Are We Fluent Yet?” showing the number and type of localization strings available in Firefox from 2018 to 2026. The chart tracks Fluent strings (green), Properties strings (blue), DTD strings (pink), and a small number of INI strings. Over time, Fluent strings steadily increase while DTD and Properties strings decline. A tooltip at April 26, 2026 shows 10,372 Fluent strings, 3,997 Properties strings, and no remaining DTD or INC strings, illustrating Firefox’s ongoing migration to the Fluent localization system." class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2073" height="924" src="https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/files/2026/06/image5.png" width="1509"></a></li>

<li>Maxx Crawford<a href="https://bugzil.la/2035176"> fixed Weather widget small card layout issues with opt-in location options and an error message displayed</a>, resolving card overflow and removing the spurious opt-in error so users see a compact Weather card and correct location prompts on New Tab.</li>
<li>Reem Hamoui<a href="https://bugzil.la/2037301"> added key dates state to the Sports widget</a>, enabling the Sports card to surface event deadlines/key-date highlights on New Tab so sports users see timely date info.</li>
<li>Scott Downe<a href="https://bugzil.la/2037541"> added a manage widgets option to the New Tab nova widgets context menu</a>, giving users a direct context-menu entry to open the widget management flow from any widget with Nova enabled.</li>
<li>Scott Downe added a reusable Newtab widget base component to centralize lifecycle, focus/keyboard handling, DOM templates, and telemetry hooks, reducing duplication and making widget behavior more consistent; see<a href="https://bugzil.la/2037947"> Newtab widget base component</a>.</li>
<li>Dre converted per-widget expansion handling to a shared widget expansion handler to unify expand/collapse state management and prevent widgets from incorrectly retaining or losing expanded state; see<a href="https://bugzil.la/2038048"> Convert widget expansion handling to shared widget expansion</a>.</li>
<li>Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py]<a href="https://bugzil.la/2038881"> updated the Sports widget to populate the “follow teams” state from the /teams endpoint</a>, so follow/unfollow toggles now reflect server-side subscriptions and reduce incorrect follow states.</li>

<h4>Performance Tools (aka <a href="https://profiler.firefox.com/">Firefox Profiler</a>)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Firefox Profiler now has a CLI! We also added a profiler-analysis skill to the Firefox codebase. Once you capture a performance profile, you can ask Claude or an AI to analyze it by providing a link or local path. You can use it to analyze a performance regression or debug an issue if you have a profile at hand.

<p>In this post we walk through what folks have found on their journey to learn the Rust programming language with ups and downs covered.</p>
<p>As a disclaimer, LLMs (Large Language Models) come up in this post because our interviewees brought them up. We're scoping discussion to their use as a learning tool, covering research and example generation, not broader questions about AI (Artificial Intelligence) in software development.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#many-paths-to-needing-rust"></a>
Many paths to needing Rust</h3>
<p>The interviews surfaced several different paths into Rust: curiosity, embedded work, job-market pressure, organizational adoption, and reassignment after a team or company chose Rust. That last path matters because many learners are not evaluating Rust from a blank slate; they are trying to become productive after Rust has already arrived in their work.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Funny enough, I've advocated for more niche languages than Rust in the past. Rust has pretty much stopped being as much of a niche language as it was, but it's not Java." -- Fractional CTO</p>
</blockquote>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#rust-learning-resources"></a>
Rust learning resources</h3>
<p>Likely as expected, the folks that we talked to reach for a range of resources to learn Rust. Some reach for official documentation, such as <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/" rel="external">The Rust Programming Language Book</a> and find that sufficient to build on what the compiler was already showing them.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I started with the official Rust documentation because there are a lot of great examples of how features like the borrow checker work." -- Software engineer at an Automotive supplier</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Others needed more passes and more formats, sometimes reaching for resources the community maintains, such as <a href="https://rustlings.rust-lang.org/" rel="external">Rustlings</a>, <a href="https://danielkeep.github.io/tlborm/book/index.html" rel="external">The Little Book of Rust Macros</a>, and <a href="https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/" rel="external">Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"The first time I went through the chapter in [The Rust Programming Language] on borrow checking, I was like, what is this? I read it again, then I watched a YouTube video of someone explaining the chapter." -- Rust freelance consultant</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"Rust book, Rustlings, Zero to Production in Rust, Jon Gjengset tutorials. A bunch of books. It's not a one-pass reading. Can't say how many times I've gone through it." -- Software engineer working on video streaming and storage</p>
</blockquote>
<p>These resources have brought up an entire generation of Rust programmers. But, to some, there is a perception that these resources have trouble keeping pace with the language.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"We'd like to use [The Rust Programming Language/'the book'], but we've found that it's out of date, unfortunately. We've looked at the GitHub repo and found it's got a lot of unresolved issues and unmerged PRs" -- Principal Software Engineering work on Rust adoption in a regulated industry</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Whether or not this is factually true, Rust's growth has nonetheless put more scrutiny on these materials. Companies evaluating adoption and engineers getting reassigned to Rust teams are looking at them with fresh eyes and finding the gaps that affect their own evaluation.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#beginner-stumblings-and-unlearning-habits"></a>
Beginner stumblings and unlearning habits</h3>
<p>It's pretty typical for Rust to be the 2nd, 3rd or Nth programming language that someone picks up. They'd end up writing their most familiar language in Rust, whether C++ patterns, Java patterns, or whatever they knew, for months or even years. Eventually they got comfortable enough to start writing idiomatic Rust.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"There's a bit of a drop in productivity compared to C if you're already familiar with it just because you're learning new rules, new syntax."  -- Principal Firmware Engineer (mobile robotics)</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"In the beginning it was more poking around the code and adding and removing some ampersands and asterisks to try to make sense of <code>mut</code> and not <code>mut</code> and whatever." -- Senior engineer with 20 years of Java experience in cloud and IoT</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We also spoke with someone who found that not having much of a programming background seemed to benefit people picking up Rust. Not having worn-in grooves from other languages may play a role here, and it's worth investigating further.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I had someone who had never programmed much before start working on the internals of [our Rust project]. She was just fine with getting into Rust. It's more of the senior people that struggle as they need to unlearn practices which may work in other languages, but it's not the 'Rust' way." -- Researcher, Automotive OEM R&amp;D Lab</p>
</blockquote>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#learning-to-work-with-the-borrow-checker"></a>
Learning to work with the borrow checker</h3>
<p>We heard a lot about learning to work with the borrow checker instead of against it. People get there through different paths, but a few patterns came up repeatedly.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#the-compiler-as-teacher"></a>
The compiler as teacher</h4>
<p>Rust's diagnostics did the teaching on their own, especially around lifetimes.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"If you mess up the lifetimes in a piece of code that you've written by hand, I usually find that Rust's diagnostics are very helpful" -- Researcher working on static analysis of Rust programs</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"Whatever's missing, the compiler usually fills in: it tells me 'you need to declare the lifetime of this reference', so I know and can figure it out. That all generally works pretty well." -- Senior Software Engineer</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#learning-by-doing"></a>
Learning by doing</h4>
<p>Others felt like they only really internalized the borrow checker after writing a lot of Rust. It took projects, coding challenges, prototyping and so on until at some point it clicked.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I actually did not understand the borrow checker until I spent a lot of time writing Rust" -- Founder of a startup built on Rust</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"Besides the prototyping work, I also did coding-challenge-type stuff to get familiar with Rust for Advent of Code. [..] It eventually clicked to the point where I wasn't fighting with Rust, it was working for me. I had that experience other people describe: when I managed to get my program to fit with Rust, it worked. I didn't spend time debugging." -- Principal Software Engineer, large SaaS provider</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#letting-go-of-clone-guilt"></a>
Letting go of "clone guilt"</h4>
<p>Some learners arrive with the assumption that good Rust means zero clones, zero copies, lifetimes threaded through everything. They set the bar at optimal before they've learned how to write idiomatic Rust, and it makes the borrow checker feel harder than it needs to be at the outset.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"On one of my first projects, I was like, 'I don't ever want to copy or clone anything,' so I carefully wove through all the lifetimes and got myself into a bit of a bind. Then I saw someone else just cloning the struct I was working with, and it was super cheap. Sometimes you can just clone and it's going to be okay." -- Researcher at a university</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The experienced Rust developers we spoke with consistently said the same thing: clone freely while you're learning, then optimize when you understand the problem. Rust's reputation for performance and correctness feeds this. Newcomers assume anything less than optimal is wrong before they've written a first working program, and clone guilt is how that shows up.</p>
<p>We think it could be an interesting area of future study to check into the patterns Rust programmers employ at different levels of experience and under which circumstances. One member of the Rust Vision doc team that's very experienced with Rust noted that there's kind of an "expected shape" they understand as passing the compiler. This knowledge influences how they approach writing code which wouldn't take that shape and they naturally find themselves understanding when to use so-called workarounds, such as passing around indices into arrays or <code>Vec</code>s.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#multi-paradigm-but-not-the-oop-some-are-used-to"></a>
Multi-paradigm, but not the OOP some are used to</h3>
<p>The Rust programming language is multi-paradigm, and how that lands depends on what you're coming from. We heard some that came from a functional background were delighted with digging into learning how much Rust inherits from that lineage. Some others noted that they and others on their teams struggled to unlearn the object-oriented style they'd come to use heavily in other languages like C++ and Java.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Developers coming from C++ tend to think object-oriented. I think that's a difference between C++ and Rust." -- Architect at Automotive OEM</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"I had exactly that thing, where I would apply all my years of Java and JS thinking, where I could just create some object, not care about it, return it, have it sloshing around between various functions. Found myself reaching for these patterns and then being told 'no, you cannot do that'." -- Principal Engineer at a SaaS company</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Developers coming from functional programming had less to unlearn: strong typing, pattern matching, and an expression-oriented style were already familiar.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"My background has been more functional programming, strong typing. That originated for me as a Lisper: once a Lisper, always a Lisper." -- Principal Software Engineer working on Rust tooling for safety-regulated industries</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"The languages I primarily used before Rust were things like OCaml. Way back, I came from C and C++, the classic languages, and then I spent quite a long time doing primarily pure functional stuff. These days I've ended up back in what I like to think of as a pragmatic center ground [with Rust]." -- Fractional CTO</p>
</blockquote>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#teaching-rust-in-academia"></a>
Teaching Rust in academia</h3>
<p>We spoke with a university professor that's been teaching Rust generally. In the academic environment, they were able to use proxies for some things such as "traits are like interfaces in Java" because the students had already gone through a set of courses in their first and second years that taught them Java. They introduced concepts slowly throughout the course, choosing to deal with some more complex topics like generics later. The outcome generally was that students had no problem picking up Rust in this setting.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I couldn't see any big difference on the embedded side. We also teach an embedded class, and we did an experiment. Half of the students' feedback was worse on the Rust class, mostly because they needed to build the project themselves. The C students just got one from [an LLM], absolutely no problem." -- University Professor, on teaching Rust</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The C cohort leaned on LLMs for the project in ways the Rust cohort couldn't. We don't yet have a clear answer for why.</p>
<p>What did come through clearly was the Rust cohort's experience with the community. Some students needed to figure out which drivers to use for the embedded project and how to use them. Their professor encouraged them to open issues and ask questions directly on GitHub, and the maintainers responded. Students who had never contributed to open source before were getting answers from the people who wrote the code.</p>

Learning using LLMs</h3>
<p>Some experienced folks shared that they saw LLMs as a tool that can help someone come up to speed quickly, either as a research tool or for generating example Rust code to understand concepts.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I'm optimistic that there's a way to work [LLMs] in that will cut down that learning curve. One of the big things these tools bring is reducing the learning curve in general; these are very good tools to help you navigate a space that you don't know yet." -- Maintainer of large open source Rust crate</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"I try [LLMs] out once a month, usually for generating an example or something like this. Just like with Stack Overflow: when you read an example, you should read it carefully and try to understand it. Not copy and paste it, but type it in your own words in code and then check it, because that's where the teeny tiny little mistakes are." -- Founder of startup built on Rust</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For some learners, an LLM is just another way to find answers, no different than a search engine.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"So for the most part, picking up Rust - how do I learn? I'll [use web search for] things, I'll ask [an LLM], I'll just poke around and read the code." -- Senior Software Engineer working in a regulated space</p>
</blockquote>
<p>One founder went further and claimed that LLMs change who can become a Rust developer. One consulting company founder described hiring high school graduates with no systems programming background and training them as Rust developers, with LLMs filling in the learning gaps that would previously have required years of experience.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"At the beginning, I was worried, but now that we have [LLMs] supporting development, the difficulty of the language doesn't matter. I'm seeing a huge opportunity behind strong runtime languages like Rust. [..] In [Developing Country] we hire 20-25 high school graduates, train them to be Rust programmers, then they enhance our workforce worldwide." -- Founder of a consulting company</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We heard this from one organization. This is a claim that the combination of Rust's compiler and LLM tooling can dramatically shorten the path from beginner to working developer. Whether it generalizes depends on questions we can't answer from a single interview: how long these developers stay, what kind of code they can maintain independently, and whether this training/learning model works outside this company's particular structure. If it holds up, the pool of people who can become Rust developers is much larger than the usual hiring profile suggests.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#organizational-considerations-for-rust-learners"></a>
Organizational considerations for Rust learners</h3>
<p>We spoke with a number of folks on teams that are using Rust in larger organizations. Teams wanted to know that everyone would end up at roughly the same level of competence, which led a good number to invest in training courses to get there. Some leaders found that staff was able to ramp well enough by reading The Rust Programming Language, going through Rustlings, and then picking up lower risk and priority tickets to work on. Having a sense of community was also important within companies; it helps people know they are not alone when they are asked to work on Rust after, say, a reorganization happens.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"[..] the idea with the class as opposed to 'just read the Rust book on your own' was that this gives everyone kind of the same baseline going in."  -- Principal Firmware Engineer (mobile robotics)</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"So typically we're going to have people work through Rustlings, work through The Rust Programming Language. We have them then start to pick up lower risk tickets to work on." -- Principal Engineer at a large SaaS provider</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"We've got an internal Slack channel for Rust learning where people can drop questions and others will come in and answer them. That helps build up understanding and community." -- Software Engineer at a large corporation</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Some organizations found that while the person they'd hire would need to learn Rust, it was still preferable to the alternative of hiring someone for a critical piece of software written in another language.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"They needed to grow and maintain this C++ codebase. They had a C++ wizard, and they tried for about two years to find someone with the same level of expertise. They ended up hiring people that didn't know Rust and ramping them up, creating FFI bindings from the C++ side so they could work in Rust. And you can feel it: the borrow checker is teaching these people the right way to handle their systems." -- Principal Engineer at an Automotive OEM</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The community and helping each other aspect seems to grow bonds as organizations mature.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Our team is [all about] mentorship. I've mentored people coming up to speed on Rust, and people help each other hugely." -- Principal Software Engineer at a large SaaS company</p>
</blockquote>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#silent-attrition"></a>
Silent attrition</h3>
<p>We identified some cases where people have approached Rust and bounced off of it, for one reason or another. In the below case, someone with a background in a language with fewer guardrails found themselves frustrated enough with Rust to walk away.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"All of that means that that embedded ecosystem is very frustrating to somebody who comes from C and is like, why can't I just get a pointer to this peripheral and then write into the registers. What are you doing to me? [..] My friend never got over that. He looked at it and said, I'm not going to deal with this and walked away." -– A second University Professor</p>
</blockquote>
<p>There may be language features that for a particular domain are not seen as comfortable or usable yet, such as async Rust usage in a safety domain. We'd like to map which language features feel off-limits in which domains; async in safety-critical work probably isn't the only case.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"We're not fully sure how async [Rust] will work out in the long run in our domain. [..] People don't feel comfortable yet since C++14 doesn't provide such concepts. [..] It's the chicken-and-egg problem again: we probably need to gain some experience to see whether we can actually benefit from these new concepts in the automotive and safety domains." -- Team Lead at Automotive Supplier (ASIL D target)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We heard in at least one case, that while the language was challenging and there was a near bounce, the tooling helped keep them coming back and trying.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Well, I think my early impressions of Rust - one is I find C++ so intimidating, and I think a big part of why I was able to succeed at [..] learning Rust is the tooling. I mean, all this makes sense [..] but it's like, for me, getting started with Rust, the language was challenging, but the tooling was incredibly easy." -- Founder of another startup built on Rust</p>
</blockquote>
<p>While it might be considered more of a community concern, if there are interactions online and in spaces that point to learners having
so-called "skill issues" this feeds into the narrative that Rust must be hard to learn. We may be unintentionally turning away Rust Project contributors and maintainers due to the vibes being put out when new learners show up in certain spaces.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"People are very helpful, but generally the attitude is: if your program is very complicated, it's mostly a skill issue. There's not that much empathy when people get stuck learning, and a lot of people are just pushed away by it. There's probably a huge number of people who silently stop wanting to write Rust, because at some point it gets complicated and the feedback they get is 'you just need to be a better programmer, obviously'." -- Software Engineer at a SaaS Provider</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#feedback-on-near-bounces-from-survey"></a>
Feedback on near-bounces from survey</h4>
<p>We found a few interesting perspectives collected in the Rust Vision doc survey which we administered with examples of bouncing and coming back:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I started before 1.0, got stuck very soon when trying to translate patterns from C++ to Rust (due to borrow checking). I tried again after 1.0 and it stuck. [..]" -- Survey Respondent A</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Survey Respondent A went on to share in a more detailed response about a perceived weakness in Rust learning materials related to lifetimes and the borrow checker are explained. There was an observation that it's fairly easy to run into more complex situations with lifetimes and the borrow checker. They felt that the current state of this sort of material and tutorials is fairly superficial and can leave learners stuck when they run into those more complex situations.</p>
<p>One respondent that bounced once and came back shared challenges around usage of async. In concert with Rust's memory-safety and the borrow checker, they found some of the nitty-gritty details of async were difficult to learn. While we're aware of the Rust Project's continuous efforts to improve Rust's async story, this is another data point of a user that faced challenges.</p>
<p>Another survey respondent shared how they had multiple times bounced in trying to learn Rust. They returned after a year or so and found Rustlings to be highly motivating. We note that having multiple pathways for folks to learn Rust opens up more possibilities for those that nearly bounced, just like this person.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#need-more-focused-work-on-silent-attritrion"></a>
Need more focused work on silent attritrion</h4>
<p>The thing that stood out most to us was the lack of real, first-hand knowledge of having bounced when learning Rust. While this is an obvious effect of soliciting answers to our survey and opportunities to interview through Rust channels and our networks, this cohort is good future candidate where interviews could start.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#conclusions"></a>
Conclusions</h3>
<p>Across these conversations, the experience of learning Rust depended heavily on context. Why someone was learning and what support they had mattered as much as the borrow checker. The same kinds of examples kept coming up: a training course that got a team to a shared baseline, a maintainer answering a student's first GitHub issue, and a colleague whose code showed that cloning was okay.</p>
<p>That context is largely something the community has a hand in. With that in mind, here is what we take away from what we heard, and what we still don't know.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#what-seems-worth-trying"></a>
What seems worth trying</h4>
<p><strong>Learning materials aimed at unlearning.</strong> Syntax barely came up when people described their struggles. People struggled with unlearning habits from previous languages, whether OOP structuring from C++ and Java or the instinct to grab a raw pointer to a peripheral. Most of our learning materials teach Rust from first principles, and that works. What we didn't come across is much written for, say, the engineer with ten years of Java who lands on a Rust team after a reorg: material that names the patterns they'll reach for that won't transfer, and shows what to do instead. The professor we spoke with did a version of this in the classroom, leaning on "traits are like interfaces in Java" and saving generics for later in the course, and the students did fine. Something similar could work outside the classroom too.</p>
<p><strong>Put the "clone freely while you're learning" advice somewhere official.</strong> Every experienced developer we spoke with gave the same advice, but learners seem to mostly pick it up by accident, like the researcher who happened to see someone else cloning the struct they had been carefully threading lifetimes through. Saying it early in official materials would take some of the steepness out of the curve. The broader version belongs there too: idiomatic Rust doesn't have to mean optimal Rust, especially on a first project.</p>
<p><strong>Diagnostics are already a primary learning resource: several people told us the compiler taught them lifetimes before any documentation did.</strong> Diagnostics reach learners right at the moment they're stuck. When writing new ones, it seems worth keeping the confused newcomer in mind alongside the expert, because for a lot of people this is where the learning happens.</p>
<p><strong>Is "the book" actually out of date?</strong> Whether or not The Rust Programming Language or other materials are actually behind, a team evaluating Rust looked at its repository, saw unresolved issues and unmerged PRs, and moved on. As more companies evaluate adoption, more people will look at these materials with the same fresh eyes. Visible issue triage and some communication about what's current and what's planned would address the perception, separately from whatever content work may or may not be needed.</p>
<p><strong>How stuck learners get treated is shaping who stays.</strong> We heard about students getting answers on GitHub from the maintainers who wrote the code, and we heard about learners being told their struggles were a skill issue. The first group came away with a lasting good impression of Rust. Some of the second group walked away entirely, and because they leave quietly, it's easy to underestimate how many of them there are. The welcoming side of the community came up unprompted as a reason people stayed, so we know it makes a difference when we get this right.</p>
<p><strong>Every organization we spoke with described essentially the same ramp-up for bringing a team to Rust.</strong> Teams that brought groups of developers to Rust described roughly the same approach: get everyone to a shared baseline with a training course or with The Rust Programming Language and Rustlings, start people on lower-risk tickets, and give them somewhere internal to ask questions. Several organizations also found that hiring developers without Rust experience and ramping them up worked out better than continuing to search for rare expertise in another language. None of this is complicated, and teams weighing adoption don't need to invent a training program from scratch.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#what-we-still-don-t-know"></a>
What we still don't know</h4>
<p>The biggest gap is the people we didn't reach. Nearly everyone we spoke with stuck with Rust long enough to be reachable through Rust channels, so the stories of bouncing off came to us second-hand: a friend who walked away from embedded Rust, colleagues who quietly stopped after the responses they got. As we wrote in <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/12/03/lessons-learned-from-the-rust-vision-doc-process/" rel="external">our first post</a>, finding people who decided against Rust takes targeted outreach. If the proposed User Research team comes together, talking with learners who bounced would make a good early project, and learning is probably the area where that research would teach us the most.</p>
<p>We also don't know what to make of LLMs as a learning tool yet. They came up as a search engine, as an example generator, and in one organization's case as something that makes training high school graduates into working Rust developers possible. We saw a classroom where the C cohort leaned on LLMs in ways the Rust cohort couldn't, and we don't have an explanation for it. All of this comes from a handful of conversations, so we treat it as a set of leads to follow up on. Given how quickly the tools are changing, it seems better to study this deliberately than to wait and see what folklore develops.</p>
<p>The folks we spoke with showed that people do get there: with enough passes through the materials and enough code written, it eventually clicks. The opportunities above are mostly about making it work for the people who didn't pick Rust on purpose, and for the ones who would have stuck around if their early experience had gone a little differently.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another six months have passed since our <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/01/21/crates-io-development-update/" rel="external">last development update</a>, and the crates.io team has been busy. Here's a summary of the most notable changes and improvements made to <a href="https://crates.io/" rel="external">crates.io</a> since then.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#source-code-viewer"></a>
Source Code Viewer</h3>
<p>Crate pages now have a "Code" tab that lets you browse the contents of published crate versions directly on crates.io. This shows you the exact files that <code>cargo</code> downloads when you add a crate as a dependency, which might differ from the linked repository. This makes it much easier to audit your dependencies, including files that never appear in the repository, like the normalized <code>Cargo.toml</code> files that <code>cargo</code> generates.</p>
<p><img alt='Source code viewer showing the "Code" tab of the serde crate' src="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/code-tab.png"></p>
<p>The viewer comes with a file tree sidebar with search functionality, syntax highlighting, and GitHub-style line selection, where clicking or dragging line numbers produces shareable <code>#L10-L20</code> URLs.</p>
<p>Under the hood, the server now builds a zip file for every published version. Since the <code>.crate</code> files that <code>cargo</code> consumes are gzipped tarballs without random access support, a background job re-packs each of them into a seekable zip archive plus a JSON manifest describing the contained files. Both are served from our static CDN. The frontend then fetches only the manifest and loads each file on demand with an HTTP range request. Because of this architecture, browsing crate sources essentially adds no load on the crates.io API servers. Existing crate versions have been backfilled, so this works for old releases too.</p>
<p>The rendering library behind the code viewer is a diff renderer at heart, and that's no accident: a version-to-version diff viewer built on the same infrastructure is currently in the works. This will allow you to review exactly what changed between two published versions, right on crates.io. Stay tuned!</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#untangling-crates-io-accounts-from-github"></a>
Untangling crates.io Accounts from GitHub</h3>
<p>At the end of May, the crates.io team accepted <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3946" rel="external">RFC #3946</a>. Crates.io accounts always have been tightly coupled to GitHub: signing in means "Log in with GitHub", and your crates.io identity is your GitHub username. The RFC changes that. It introduces usernames that are native to crates.io and independent of linked GitHub accounts, as a prerequisite for eventually supporting login via other identity providers.</p>
<p>The implementation of crates.io usernames has started, but there is still a lot left to do, most visibly the ability to change your crates.io username. After that is complete, there will be future RFCs and implementation for signing in with identity providers other than GitHub. Since all of this touches authentication and account security, we are deliberately taking it slow and rolling these changes out in small, carefully reviewed steps.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#advisories-and-suggestions"></a>
Advisories and Suggestions</h3>
<p>In our <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/01/21/crates-io-development-update/" rel="external">January update</a> we introduced the "Security" tab, which shows security advisories from the <a href="https://rustsec.org/" rel="external">RustSec</a> database. We have since taken this integration one step further: crates that RustSec has flagged as unmaintained now show a warning banner directly on their crate pages, linking to the corresponding advisory for details and possible alternatives. Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/djc" rel="external">Dirkjan Ochtman</a> for implementing this feature!</p>
<p><img alt="Unmaintained warning banner on the ansi_term crate page" src="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/unmaintained-banner.png"></p>
<p>Related to this, some popular crates have been largely absorbed into the Rust standard library over the years, like <code>lazy_static</code>, which has been superseded by <code>std::sync::LazyLock</code> since Rust 1.80. Crate pages of such crates now show a friendly "You might not need this dependency" banner describing the standard library replacement, and superseded crates in dependency lists get a small light bulb icon with a similar hint.</p>
<p><img alt='"You might not need this dependency" banner on the lazy_static crate page' src="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/std-replacement-banner.png"></p>
<p>The dataset behind this feature lives in the new <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/std-replacement-data" rel="external">rust-lang/std-replacement-data</a> repository, together with a documented inclusion policy: standard library replacements only, every entry must cite the stable <code>std</code>, <code>core</code>, or <code>alloc</code> API and Rust version, and crate maintainers get a notice-and-comment window before an entry is added. New entries can be proposed upstream and can benefit other tools too.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#ferris"></a>
Ferris</h3>
<p>The most delightful change of this cycle: the Ferris on our error pages now follows your mouse cursor with its eyes:</p>
<p><img alt="Ferris' eyes following the mouse cursor on the error page" src="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/ferris.gif"></p>
<p>Getting a 404 error on crates.io is now slightly less sad.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#svelte-frontend-migration-completed"></a>
Svelte Frontend Migration Completed</h3>
<p>In our <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/01/21/crates-io-development-update/" rel="external">January update</a>, we announced that we were experimenting with porting the crates.io frontend from Ember.js to <a href="https://svelte.dev/" rel="external">Svelte</a>. This experiment has concluded successfully: the new frontend reached feature parity, went through a <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2026/04/17/crates-io-svelte-public-testing/" rel="external">public testing phase</a> in April, became the default at the beginning of May, and the Ember.js app has been removed from our repository.</p>
<p>We designed this change to be invisible for our users, since the new frontend is a 1:1 port of the previous design and functionality. For the team and our contributors, however, it is a big deal: the frontend is now built on a more modern framework, which should make it easier for new contributors to get started. It also allows us to iterate faster, as the source code viewer above demonstrates.</p>
<p>We want to thank the <a href="https://emberjs.com/teams/" rel="external">Ember.js team</a> for a framework that served crates.io well for many years, and the Svelte team for making the transition so enjoyable.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#miscellaneous"></a>
Miscellaneous</h3>
<p>These were some of the more visible changes to crates.io over the past six months, but a lot has happened "under the hood" as well:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Search performance</strong>: Relevance-sorted search queries previously ranked every crate matching the query, which could take 1-2 seconds for short or common search terms. Ranking is now bounded to the 1,000 matching crates with the highest recent download counts.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Reverse dependencies performance</strong>: The reverse dependencies endpoint no longer recomputes the full dependent set on every request. It is now served from a precomputed table kept in sync by database triggers, turning an expensive join into a bounded index scan and greatly reducing the chance of getting a timeout error.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>New ARCHITECTURE.md</strong>: If you've ever wondered how crates.io actually works, our <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/blob/main/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md" rel="external"><code>ARCHITECTURE.md</code></a> document got a complete rewrite. It is now organized around the high-level systems that make up crates.io and how they fit together, and includes walkthroughs of what happens when you run <code>cargo publish</code>, why a typical crate download never touches our API servers, and how download counts are derived from CDN access logs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Definition lists</strong>: READMEs now render Markdown <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/pull/13950" rel="external">definition lists</a>, a widely used Markdown extension. Our markdown renderer <a href="https://crates.io/crates/comrak" rel="external">comrak</a> already supported them, the extension just wasn't enabled yet. Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/mistaste" rel="external">@mistaste</a> for this contribution!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>CDN cache tags</strong>: Files uploaded to our static CDN now carry cache-tag metadata, allowing us to invalidate all cached files of a crate or a specific release in a single operation, instead of issuing one invalidation per file URL.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Caching improvements</strong>: We removed a global <code>Vary: Cookie</code> response header that was preventing our CDNs from caching public API responses and frontend assets effectively. Per-user responses now use <code>Cache-Control: no-store</code> instead, resulting in better cache hit rates at the CDN edge.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Accessibility</strong>: We have made crates.io friendlier to screen readers: decorative icons are now hidden from the accessibility tree, heading hierarchies have been fixed, and lists are marked up as proper lists. ARIA snapshot tests now ensure that regressions can't slip in unnoticed. We plan to continue to improve crates.io accessibility over the coming months.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Git index performance</strong>: The background worker's local clone of the git index is now a bare and shallow repository, eliminating roughly 250,000 checked-out files and the full commit history from its disk, improving its performance as we see increased rates of crate publication. The periodic index squashing now goes through the GitHub API instead of generating large git packs locally, which had previously caused out-of-memory failures on the production worker.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“CRM in 2026 is undergoing a structural shift, not just an incremental evolution,” says Forrester analyst <a href="https://www.forrester.com/analyst-bio/kate-leggett/BIO2629">Kate Leggett</a>, noting that AI is becoming a core part of CRM infrastructure, not just a feature or an add-on. According to Forrester data, around 70% of companies are already using AI in their CRM systems, she says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here are the hot AI-driven trends in CRM this year.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CRM becomes an action hero</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">CRM platforms have traditionally served as passive, static systems of record. Now, agentic AI is transforming CRM into a powerful, real-time solution that can act autonomously.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Organizations that rethink CRM as a real-time, AI-powered system of action — and embrace agentic AI to handle complex, unpredictable work — are better positioned to deliver exceptional customer experiences,” says IDC analyst <a href="https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=PRF005191">Neil Ward-Dutton</a>. “This approach not only enhances satisfaction and loyalty but also drives operational efficiency and business agility.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Forrester’s Leggett says that AI-powered CRM platforms have advanced from simple data capture to real-time decision-making and execution. Standard capabilities include next-best action recommendations, call summaries, automated updates, generated emails, knowledge creation, predictive forecasting, and deal scoring.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She adds that AI agents can now execute workflows, such as routing cases, sending follow-ups, and updating records (with human oversight). They can also handle end-to-end service and sales tasks autonomously, including case resolutions and sales development activities.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Agentic drives workforce changes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI use in CRM systems is also impacting workforce strategies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We used to hire for deep expertise,” says Constellation Research analyst <a href="https://www.constellationr.com/user/liz-miller">Liz Miller</a>. “AI has commoditized expertise because I can take all that data from my CRM and train my AI models to go deep, to know everything about any product I’ve ever sold, from what has worked, what hasn’t, every price, every sale.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, instead of hiring candidates with deep expertise, organizations are looking for candidates who can go wide. “I can train a model to have deep expertise. What I can’t train for is experience, because experience is what happens when a person has gone broad across a lot of different scenarios and faced complexity across that broad scenario,” says Miller.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, AI systems can automate many aspects of marketing, Miller notes, but there’s no substitute for creativity: people who can interrogate the data and come up with innovative marketing campaigns that connect with customers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.servicenow.com/workflow/author/terence-chesire.html">Terence Chesire</a>, group vice president of ServiceNow CRM and industry workflows, says that organizations are using agentic AI to free up team members from repetitive, lower-value activities. Those employees have now moved to higher-level roles “where they’re working on transformational deals rather than just building a spreadsheet.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“That’s what we’re seeing as super-exciting as organizations not just free up people, but the speed and effort reduction and the friction reduction in what they can do,” he adds.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Data layer takes center stage</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI’s promise to deliver actionable customer and marketing intelligence has placed even greater emphasis on the importance on sound data management practices for CRM.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The light bulb has flashed on very brightly for our clients,” says Deloitte’s Datwani. “Everyone is talking about AI agents, but your ability to really extract value is inextricably linked to the quality of your data and the ability to make that data accessible. What we’re finding is that despite large investments over time our clients still have fragmented data. And so, they are data rich and insight poor.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The good news, says Datwani, is that AI agents themselves can <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/2140371/gen-ai-can-be-the-answer-to-your-data-problems-but-not-all-of-them.html">help clean up and organize data</a>. And vendors such as <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4030966/snowflake-and-databricks-vie-for-the-heart-of-enterprise-ai.html">Snowflake and Databricks</a>, along with the traditional CRM powerhouses, are offering powerful data analytics solutions. “Everyone is battling for that data layer,” Datwani says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Forrester’s Leggett adds that CRM platforms are converging with <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/308839/top-8-customer-data-platforms.html">customer data platforms (CDPs)</a>, real-time event streams, and external data sources to create connected customer data networks. These real-time, connected data models can help organizations deliver hyper-personalization at scale.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Agentic ushers in pricing complexity</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The shift from license- or subscription-based pricing to an <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/3624540/how-will-ai-agents-be-priced-cios-need-to-pay-attention.html">outcome or consumption pricing model</a> has the potential to help CIOs tie their CRM costs to specific business metrics, such as the number of customer service calls resolved per hour. But it has also introduced a <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4184688/it-hurtles-toward-the-great-enterprise-pricing-reset.html">new level of complexity</a> when it comes to budgeting for CRM costs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, Chesire says ServiceNow’s CRM pricing plan starts with a baseline subscription model, and on top of that, customers get a certain number of AI tokens per user and can buy additional tokens as AI usage ramps up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, Salesforce has <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4189183/salesforce-unveils-ai-help-agent-with-pay-per-resolution-pricing.html">rolled out pay-per-resolution pricing</a> with its recently unveiled AI Help Agent and last month <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4183667/salesforce-to-acquire-usage-based-billing-specialist-m3ter.html">acquired usage-based billing specialist m3ter</a>. Oracle is also <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4184271/oracle-wades-into-outcome-based-ai-billing-waters.html">piloting outcome-based AI pricing</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All these approaches undercut the predictability of the subscription model, which will complicate CIOs’ cost calculus, Deloitte’s Datwani says. “Now, as you start to think about consumption and tokens, costs might look different. As folks are opening up the architecture with things like headless CRM, what will the cost model look like for API calls or MCP server calls? So, there’s many more variables,” he adds.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The rise of multi-agent orchestration</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To act autonomously, agents need to access multiple data sets and software platforms seamlessly. As a result, the proliferation of agents, some embedded within specific vendor platforms and some created in-house, is going to require an orchestration layer, Futurum’s Kirkpatrick says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He points out that organizations need to monitor and manage agents, enforcing the same type of policy-based access control that exists for people. Organizations also need to set limits on what domains a specific agent can get into, what types of data they can access, what lines can’t they cross.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kirkpatrick predicts that a <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4138739/21-agent-orchestration-tools-for-managing-your-ai-fleet.html">new class of orchestration tools</a> will emerge, although it’s not clear whether that orchestration layer will be provided by the leading CRM vendors, hyperscalers, or third parties.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Datwani agrees. “The orchestration layer is an interesting area, where the traditional vendors are in on it, the hyperscalers are also offering it, and there are third parties. It’s my belief that there’s not going to be a clear winner.”<em></em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The interface becomes conversational</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enterprise users who have traditionally had to manually wrangle with CRM systems are likely to find the ability to employ voice commands using a natural language interface to be a game changer. For starters, a salesperson can say, “I have a meeting today with Customer X. Help me prepare.” The agent will collect relevant data, ingest it, and provide a summary with recommendations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ServiceNow’s Chesire says voice-enabled CRM systems have an “almost magical” ability to record, transcribe, and understand the content of a call between a salesperson and a customer or potential customer. The system can then “build a quote” based on that conversation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the customer service side of the equation, AI-driven voice technology enables customers to speak to an AI agent, describe the problem using natural language, and get a response. The agent has the capability to, for example, solve a credit card dispute, order a replacement product, send out a service rep, or do whatever is needed to resolve the issue, says Chesire.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond that, agentic technology is capable of understanding the underlying business process flaws that led to the product snafu, and make recommendations for ways to fix whatever led to the issue in the first place, he adds.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Agentic drives business process transformation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the emergence of outcome-based pricing, organizations are taking a fresh look at how they measure the benefits of CRM systems. That conversation is leading to an even more important analysis of underlying business processes. Or, as Constellation’s Miller says, “The old adage of applying new technology to old processes only gets you more expensive old processes.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“When we survey customers, we hear time and time again that the reason why they want to apply AI into their organizations is to foster exponential opportunity and exponential growth,” she says. “How do we get there with CRM has started to become the new conversation.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Miller, AI systems breach the walls of siloed data and can take a fresh look at legacy workflows. They also don’t get sucked into turf wars between marketing and sales teams. As a result, they often recommend new actions that can lead to better processes. “I think it’s starting to happen. You’re starting to see applications where AI is beginning to accelerate decision-making and decision velocity,” she says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The next phase of maturity is going to be, how do we start to spread AI across our platforms so that we are seeing that holistic end-to-end relationship that we have always wanted to optimize. How do we thread that across platforms and across solutions. We’re starting to see organizations on the leading edge really start to pull those strategies together,” says Miller.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The White House is monitoring developments after OpenAI revealed earlier this week that one of the company’s AI systems <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4200043/openai-model-escape-puts-enterprise-ai-defenses-on-notice.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4200043/openai-model-escape-puts-enterprise-ai-defenses-on-notice.html" target="_blank">went beyond its intended parameters during a security test</a> and managed to hack into the infrastructure of the AI platform Hugging Face. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/ai-kill-switch-bill-floated-by-us-house-lawmakers-2026-07-23/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">According to Reuters</a>, presidential technology advisor Michael Kratsios has been briefed on the incident.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The OpenAI model escape also prompted a group of Republican and Democratic members of the House of Representatives to introduce two new bills. One, called the AI Kill Switch Act, would give the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the authority to order companies to shut down AI models deemed to pose a risk to human life or the US economy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other measure would require developers of the most advanced AI models to undergo independent security reviews before the systems are put into use.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An anonymous reader quotes a report from PYMNTS.com: Stripe is in talks to buy OpenRouter, an artificial intelligence (AI) startup that could sell for roughly $10 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal. The move would mark a significant step outside payments for a company that processes transactions for much of the internet. It also lands while Stripe pursues a far larger target: a bid for PayPal that would value the payments giant at about $53 billion.
 
The Journal reported Thursday (July 23) that a transaction could be announced soon, though the talks could still collapse or another buyer could step in. The exact price under discussion could not be learned. Several other large technology companies had also been weighing deals for OpenRouter. The startup was valued at $1.3 billion in May, according to PitchBook, meaning a sale near $10 billion would represent a steep markup in a matter of months. Its backers include Menlo Ventures and CapitalG, the growth fund of Google parent Alphabet.
 
OpenRouter sells software that lets customers reach AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic, along with open weight alternatives anyone can download and run. The Journal described the company's position this way: "OpenRouter is part of an emerging crop of startups that have found a lucrative niche between AI developers and the companies that want to use them." The platform lists hundreds of large language models and lets developers compare and switch between them.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Four months of Claude Code — that’s all it took for Uber to burn through its entire annual budget for AI. Token after token, engineers embraced the platform with few control mechanisms tying costs to outcomes. The result was a budget runaway and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/janakirammsv/2026/05/17/uber-burns-its-2026-ai-budget-in-four-months-on-claude-code/">a clear case study</a> in how limited oversight snowballs into an AI blowout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a phenomenon I like to call “shadow tokens” — AI credits paid for by the company but largely invisible to decision-makers. Too many engineers have the final say over how much they consume and, therefore, what it costs. This all-you-can-eat attitude is part of the reason why <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/930447/microsoft-claude-code-discontinued-notepad">Microsoft is reportedly</a> winding down many internal licenses across key engineering teams and why <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/investing/the-next-phase-of-ai-spending-is-already-underway">one in five organizations</a> is missing its AI spend forecast by more than 50%.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the trend is only accelerating. By 2028, <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4189149/ai-coding-token-costs-are-on-track-to-rival-human-payroll.html">Gartner predicts</a> that AI coding costs (driven by this kind of ungoverned consumption) will be as much per developer as the salary companies pay that person.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">LLMs and agents introduce a new class of variable cost that scales with behavior rather than headcount, putting enterprises on the hook for tools that balloon with workload. I don’t see this as enterprises overspending because they’re reckless — it’s down to a lack of managerial oversight, budget alignment that demands a proven return on investment, and engineer education on how much is too much.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Going forward, CIOs need to thread the AI needle between governance that encourages transparency and reasonable spend without stifling innovation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When shadow tokens result in real costs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The issue is that AI isn’t a traditional line item. Previously, enterprise leaders onboarded software-as-a-service (SaaS) with a good idea of the total cost. An allocated software seat or annual contract was a known quantity. The cloud added some variation (with fluctuations depending on hosting size), but instances were still modelable. AI flips this status quo on its head — the unit of consumption is behavior and the cost is exponential.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And these specifics aren’t immediately apparent at pilot. Tools can appear inexpensive in controlled experiments yet unpredictably scale depending on session length, context window size, model selection and whether agents run in parallel. This is the fallacy of the $20-per-seat enterprise plan — tokens are charged separately at API rates with no ceiling. The final dollar value of any session is set by factors that finance can’t always model in advance, particularly when these decisions usually rest with the engineers themselves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to <a href="https://www.deloitte.com/cz-sk/en/services/consulting/research/the-state-of-ai-in-the-enterprise.html">Deloitte</a>, only 21% of organizations deploying agents have a mature governance model, a real concern because they’re token-eating machines. This is what was happening at Uber — Claude Code in agentic mode was autonomously reading codebases, planning changes across dozens of files and opening pull requests. Each step quickly adds up, with Anthropic’s own documentation noting that agents consume approximately seven times as many tokens as standard sessions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is shadow IT and shadow AI, evolved. This time, however, many leaders approved the tool in question without guardrails governing consumption. AI hype adds fuel to the fire and normalizes long sessions. Uber’s CTO, for example, <a href="https://x.com/praveenTweets/status/2033627282418655711">described</a> a company-wide shift toward “agentic software engineering” with employees “who are quietly experimenting, quietly shipping and quietly pushing things forward”. This is an exciting way to test the limits of what’s possible, certainly, but it’s also a position that goes a long way to explaining how the company spent its annual AI budget by April.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shifting the culture from usage to yield</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Engineers haven’t done anything wrong here. In fact, they’re adopting and experimenting as instructed, with Uber creating leaderboards and ranking users by token consumption. More use led to a better ranking, reflecting a culture that lauds new ways of doing things. This behavior is known as “<a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4178320/tokenmaxxing-when-ai-adoption-metrics-go-bad.html">tokenmaxxing</a>,” and its principal knock-on effect is shadow tokens — quantity-over-quality processes that leaders struggle to control until they’re fully realized in the budget. Of course, if management treats adoption metrics as performance metrics, then engineers can’t be blamed for using more tokens. The tension is that the teams driving adoption aren’t the ones managing spend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of this is meant to dismiss AI’s productivity possibilities and potential return on investment. Developers save <a href="https://getdx.com/blog/ai-assisted-engineering-q4-impact-report-2025/">3.6 hours</a> per week, achieve 60% higher pull request throughput and cut onboarding time in half with automation. Meanwhile, Uber shared that roughly 11% of live backend updates were written by agents with no human in the loop. However, these wins aren’t the problem — it’s that too many teams aren’t connecting input to output. I’ve spoken to admins who discovered their token spend had tripled in a single quarter after using heavier models or accidentally doubling up on agentic applications. Nobody knew until the financial damage was done.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Automation needs to happen sustainably with an eye on the bottom line. In my view, a much better metric for achieving this is AI yield — the measurable business or engineering output generated per dollar spent on tokens. Otherwise, without a feedback loop, even genuinely productive teams are flying blind.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stopping token waste before an AI blowout</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Creating that throughline between AI investment and token consumption starts with established financial metrics. This is possible via maximum spend limits (dictated by spend tagging, workload tiering and cost-per-output benchmarks) per team or project. Then, any additional allocation requires approval, closing the loop between the engineers spending the tokens and the leaders paying for them. AI isn’t cheap and teams should demonstrate a bang for their buck.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is something we do with our engineering team at Hexnode. Resource allocation for Claude Code and Cursor is tied directly to ROI rather than letting consumption run open-ended. Given the pay-as-you-go nature of these tools, a firm usage limit per team offers simple but essential control.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Similarly, there’s room to apply some of the governance principles IT uses for device management. Things like policy enforcement, role-based access, real-time monitoring and automated alerts can flag usage behavior in advance. Uncovering such insights at the token layer works to identify power users and prevent excessive spending.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also need to encourage cultures that praise outputs that actually achieve efficiency. AI applications that result in shipping faster, reducing rework and cutting review cycles are gains that should be celebrated. If your company hosts leaderboards, frame unnecessary token burn as wasteful rather than valuable. The organizations creating healthier consumption habits work with their engineers to understand not just how to use AI, but what responsible use looks like and what it costs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a conversation teams need to have now. Anthropic <a href="https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15036540-use-the-claude-agent-sdk-with-your-claude-plan">just ended flat-rate pricing</a> for programmatic workloads from June 15. Now, agents, continuous integration pipelines and automated workflows draw from a dedicated monthly credit pool billed separately from the subscription. Once that pool is exhausted, agent tasks either stop entirely or overflow to extra billing. Work can either get very expensive or grind to a halt for teams that aren’t prepared.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Getting a grip on shadow tokens means better rules and tools connecting spend to outcomes. Only by building the financial and cultural infrastructure that encourages sustainable adoption can leaders see what they’re spending, connect it to what they’re getting and course-correct before the costs become a crisis. Ultimately, shadow tokens are only invisible if we choose not to look.</p>

That's how many ransomware attacks hit organizations in the United States between January and June, according to new research from <a href="https://cyble.com/resources/research-reports/global-threat-landscape-h1-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs</a> (CRIL). It's not just the highest total of any country tracked in the report — it's more than the next nine most-targeted countries combined.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="5:1-5:375;590-964">Canada, in second place worldwide, recorded 179 attacks. Germany logged 155. The United Kingdom, 138. Add up the rest of the global top 10 — France, Italy, Spain, Thailand, India and Brazil — and the total still falls more than 600 attacks short of the U.S. figure alone. Out of 3,836 <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://cyble.com/knowledge-hub/what-is-ransomware/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="ransomware" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29106">ransomware</a> attacks CRIL tracked worldwide this half, roughly 45% landed on American soil.</p>

<h3 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="7:1-7:39;966-1004"><strong>A Single Region, an Outsized Share</strong></h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="9:1-9:434;1006-1439">Widen the lens slightly and the picture holds. North America as a whole recorded 1,981 ransomware attacks in H1 2026 — more than half of every ransomware incident Cyble observed globally — alongside 35 <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://thecyberexpress.com/what-is-data/" title="data" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29101">data</a> breach and leak incidents and 9 initial access sale listings. The report describes the region as home to "a mature, persistently active RaaS ecosystem operating at high volume across a wide range of industries and geographies."</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="11:1-11:544;1441-1984">Two ransomware-as-a-service operators did much of the damage. Qilin, the single most prolific gang worldwide, claimed 370 of those North American attacks on its own — nearly 19% of the regional total. Akira followed with 268, and INC Ransom added another 164. Together, Qilin and Akira alone accounted for more than half of all recorded ransomware activity across the region, a level of concentration that points to a small number of highly organized affiliate networks doing the bulk of the damage rather than a diffuse swarm of opportunists.</p>

<h3 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="13:1-13:29;1986-2014"><strong>Where the Pressure Lands</strong></h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="15:1-15:705;2016-2720">Professional Services bore the brunt of North American ransomware activity, with INC Ransom showing a marked preference for law firms and other high-value services with sensitive client data. Construction, Manufacturing and Healthcare followed close behind.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="15:1-15:705;2016-2720">One operator, AiLock, stood out for a coordinated wave of victim disclosures that all landed on the same day — March 3 — a pattern consistent with a mass-exploitation campaign rather than isolated intrusions. LockBit, despite years of law enforcement pressure and takedown attempts, kept up a steady tempo against public-sector and educational targets throughout the period, showcasing how difficult the group has been to fully dismantle.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="17:1-17:611;2722-3332">On the <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://cyble.com/knowledge-hub/what-is-a-data-breach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="data breach" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29105">data breach</a> side, Technology and financial services (BFSI) were the most frequently targeted sectors in North America, together accounting for roughly 43% of incidents — a reflection of how much intellectual property and monetizable personal data those industries hold.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="17:1-17:611;2722-3332">Notably, Agriculture &amp; Livestock emerged as a significant target for initial access brokers, accounting for a third of all access listings tied to the region. Cyble flags this as a sign of "growing <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://thecyberexpress.com/what-are-risks-in-cybersecurity/" title="risk" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29103">risk</a> in the food supply chain," an area that has historically drawn less attention from ransomware operators than finance or healthcare.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="19:1-19:421;3334-3754">The initial access market itself was strikingly concentrated: two sellers, tracked under the handles "redpin" and "xpl0itrs," accounted for nearly all listings targeting North American organizations. Threat actors also continued to lean on known and zero-day <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://thecyberexpress.com/what-are-vulnerabilities/" title="vulnerabilities" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29104">vulnerabilities</a> in widely deployed enterprise platforms — including products from Ivanti and Palo Alto Networks — as their preferred way into corporate networks.</p>

<h3 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="21:1-21:37;3756-3792"><strong>Hacktivism Blurs into Cybercrime</strong></h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="23:1-23:647;3794-4440">North America wasn't spared the <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://cyble.com/hacktivism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="hacktivism" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29102">hacktivism</a> wave sweeping the rest of the world either. Collectives including SOLDADOS DIGITALES – UNIÓN AMERICANA and LYSTIC TEAM #ID drove roughly 56 <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://cyble.com/general/data-leak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="data leak" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29100">data leak</a> or dump posts and touched about 360 unique domains across the region, with Government, Technology, financial services and telecommunications entities most frequently in the crosshairs.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="23:1-23:647;3794-4440">Cyble's broader findings suggest many groups marketing themselves as ideologically driven hacktivists are, in practice, running side businesses in stolen data brokerage and DDoS-for-hire services — a blurring of motive that complicates how defenders triage the threat.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="27:1-27:692;4480-5171">The scale of the U.S. numbers doesn't necessarily mean American companies have weaker defenses than their global peers — the concentration also reflects the sheer size and digital density of the U.S. economy, and its outsized share of the high-value targets ransomware affiliates chase. But the data does argue for a shift in posture.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="27:1-27:692;4480-5171">Cyble's broader recommendations — treating data exfiltration, not just encryption, as the primary risk; prioritizing patches for the recurring vendor list; and monitoring initial access markets as a leading indicator rather than an afterthought — apply nowhere more urgently than in a country absorbing this much of the world's ransomware volume on its own.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD executives took to the stage at its Advancing AI 2026 event in San Francisco today to detail the company’s next generation of AI infrastructure solutions, from Instinct MI455X AI accelerator GPUs and 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” CPUs, to Pensando networking, ROCm.AI software and its Helios rack-scale platform that ties it all together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD has been working towards rack-scale AI system solutions for years. Its ZT Systems acquisition last year added valuable engineering talent and intellectual property that is now finally bearing the real fruits. Its <a href="https://www.amd.com/en/products/rackscale-solutions/helios.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Helios AI platform</a> is a major platform evolution for AMD, with shipments scheduled to begin in the second half of this year (which is here and now).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The announcements at Advancing AI show how the company has engineered its AI platform solutions for large reasoning models, sustained inference and agentic workflows. These workloads pressure memory capacity, data movement, networking and CPU orchestration. AMD’s approach is to keep as much data close to the compute engines as possible and move it more efficiently throughout the system, but there’s deeper nuance here that’s obvious versus AMD’s chief rival, NVIDIA.  </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD’s MI455X targets the AI memory wall</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Instinct MI455X GPU is the compute engine that fuels the Helios rack, and the first GPU based on AMD’s new CDNA 5 architecture. Built with a modular mix of 2nm and 3nm chiplets, it carries 432GB of HBM4 and 23.3TB/s of peak memory bandwidth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Compared to AMD’s current MI355X, <a href="https://hothardware.com/news/instinct-mi400-challenge-vera-rubin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the MI455X offers</a> 1.5 times the memory capacity, up to 2.9 times the peak memory bandwidth and up to four times the peak matrix performance with MXFP4 and MXFP8 data types, which are lower-precision numerical formats designed to accelerate AI processing while reducing memory demands. With MXFP6 (6-bit floating point), performance is rated at up to twice that of MI355X.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD also shared some actual, measured internal results using production silicon. The company claims MI455X delivers 3.8 times higher FP8 decode performance, 3.5 times more measured FP4 compute performance and between 2.5 and 3.5 times more networking bandwidth than MI355X, depending on the transfer path tested. Those figures provide more context than just numerical specifications, though they remain AMD-provided comparisons that will need independent validation.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-generational-leap.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="AMD Instinct chart showing generational leap in performance" class="wp-image-4200600" width="1024" height="547" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">AMD</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The architectural choices behind the numbers are important. Reasoning models and long context windows require sizeable KV caches for maintaining AI attention states, while mixture-of-experts models frequently move large amounts of data across accelerators. MI455X should let more model data, activation states and cache remain local. New dedicated IP in hardware can transfer data while the GPU continues processing, and expanded cache and multicast capabilities are designed to reduce redundant data movement to further improve efficiency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The aforementioned lower-precision formats can also raise throughput and reduce memory use, but model developers still have to determine where they can be applied without unacceptable accuracy loss.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD’s Helios rack takes aim at Vera Rubin</h2>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-helios-rack.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="AMD Helios rack" class="wp-image-4200601" width="1024" height="626" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Dave Altavilla</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Helios is AMD’s primary rack-scale competitor to NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform. Each liquid-cooled rack combines 72 MI455X GPUs, 18 single-socket Venice host CPUs and Pensando networking technologies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In its most complete, premium configuration, AMD rates Helios for 2.9 exaflops of low-precision AI compute, with 31TB of aggregate HBM4 capacity, 1.7PB/s of memory bandwidth, 260TB/s of bidirectional scale-up bandwidth and 43TB/s of scale-out bandwidth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These are formidable figures, but they are technical specifications rather than actual application benchmarks. The more consequential development is AMD’s move from collections of eight-GPU servers to a 72-GPU shared-memory domain. Models too large for one node can operate across the rack without treating every exchange as a scale-out networking transaction, which benefits large-model inference as well as training.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD uses UALink over Ethernet, or UALoE, for an open standard scale-up fabric. Each MI455X provides 3.6TB/s of bidirectional scale-up bandwidth, while the complete rack delivers all-to-all connectivity through a single switch layer. AMD also claims six times more scale-out bandwidth per GPU than MI355X when MI455X is configured with three Pensando Vulcano 800 AI NICs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While open standards give cloud providers more control over suppliers and system design, AMD and its partners now have to prove those components can deliver the predictable performance, reliability and deployment experience customers expect from a tightly controlled, more vertically integrated platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, AMD designed Helios with automatic rerouting around failed links, virtual rack partitions, tray-level serviceability and rack-wide power, cooling and health monitoring. Major hyperscalers and potentially large-scale enterprise customers will likely key in on these capabilities, which can affect the availability, total cost and consistency of the AI services they consume.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kind of like cowbell, AMD Venice gives agentic AI more CPU</h2>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-epyc-venice-cpus.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="Chart showing AMD EPYC CPU performance" class="wp-image-4200603" width="1024" height="515" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">AMD</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD’s agentic CPU messaging regarding its upcoming Venice-based EPYC processors is mostly marketing speak, but the underlying requirement is very real. An AI agent can invoke retrieval, databases, security checks, code execution and other tools before a GPU generates a response. Running many agents concurrently increases the amount of conventional compute requirements surrounding the accelerators.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Venice scales to 256 Zen 6 cores with support for 512 threads, 16 memory channels, up to 1GB of L3 cache per socket, along with PCIe 6.0 and CXL 3.1 connectivity. AMD is also offering several Venice configurations for other applications, including general-purpose servers, high-frequency workloads, GPU hosts and high-density CPU sandbox systems used to execute agent tools.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Treating the CPU solely as a GPU host understates its role. Gateways, tokenization, vector search, databases and short-lived code execution stress different mixes of per-core performance, thread count, memory bandwidth and I/O. Specifically, AMD’s internal testing shows Venice significantly outperforming its current EPYC 9965 Turin CPU across five parts of the agentic AI pipeline, including gateway processing, context assembly, vector search, enterprise applications and short-lived tool execution. Individual gains vary by workload, but AMD details the overall generational improvement at up to a 1.7 times lift. As with the MI455X figures though, these comparisons come from AMD and will require independent validation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pensando networking and ROCm software advance</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Keeping GPUs fed with data and coordinating traffic across racks directly affects utilization and operating costs. In fact, GPU utilization is a pretty sad state of affairs currently for some of the major frontier model providers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As such, Pensando networking has become central to AMD’s roadmap. Helios can connect each MI455X to as many as three 800Gbps Vulcano AI NICs, while Salina DPUs handle front-end networking and infrastructure services.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the software side, which is an equally critical component, AMD also introduced ROCm.AI, an AI-assisted development layer due to arrive in August. It includes reusable skills for coding agents, simplified management and Hyperloom, which can profile workloads, tune serving configurations, modify kernels and validate results.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These tools address two persistent AMD challenges: developer efficiency and ease of use, and software tuning. Automated optimization still has to produce repeatable gains without creating hard-to-maintain code, however. And while ROCm has progressed significantly over the last few years, NVIDIA’s CUDA retains an advantage in maturity, tooling and developer familiarity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Customer commitments underscore rack-scale confidence</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD now has commitments that give its MI450 generation and Helios considerably more weight. Meta and OpenAI have announced multi-generation agreements composed of up to 6GW of AMD compute capacity, with initial 1GW deployments planned for the second half of 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oracle plans a 50,000-GPU public cloud cluster beginning in the third quarter, while Microsoft will deploy Helios for Azure AI inference. Finally, just before the AMD event, <a href="https://ir.amd.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1292/amd-and-anthropic-announce-strategic-partnership-to-deploy-up-to-2-gigawatts-of-amd-instinct-mi450-series-gpus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthropic announced</a> a strategic partnership for up to 2 Gigawatts of AMD-fueled AI compute, with its first gigawatt expected online in the first half of 2027.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Commitments of this scale reflect confidence in more than just MI455X performance. These customers are evaluating the complete architecture, including Venice CPUs, Pensando networking, ROCm software, rack integration, serviceability and AMD’s ability to deliver and execute across multiple product generations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is some financial alignment behind the agreements as well. AMD issued OpenAI performance-based warrants and committed to investing up to $5 billion in Anthropic. That context matters when evaluating these deals as market validation, but these planned deployments are substantial nonetheless and put Helios on a much stronger foundation as it begins shipping.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD expands its robotics and embedded foundation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD also expanded its physical AI portfolio, building on credible traction from its Xilinx-derived Kria adaptive system-on-modules and embedded technologies that are already powering robotics, machine vision and industrial automation applications.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new Ryzen AI Embedded X100 combines up to 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, integrated Radeon graphics, a second-generation NPU and as much as 128GB of unified LPDDR5X memory shared across its compute engines. To me this looks a lot like a repackaging and optimization of the company’s Strix Halo platform, but with specific optimizations for the embedded space. Regardless, AMD is pairing X100 with the Kria AI Robotics Developer Platform, which includes a System Module or SOM, and a new Robotics Partner Network spanning hardware, software and platform providers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Samples began shipping in June, with full production expected in the fourth quarter. This broader objective is to give developers a path across AMD x86 CPUs, GPUs, NPUs and FPGAs for real-time autonomous systems, rather than requiring them to assemble those hardware engines and software components independently.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Execution for AMD is now the test</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD has assembled a credible platform for the burgeoning agentic AI market that’s blowing up currently with no signs of stopping. MI455X addresses memory and data movement, Venice handles dense agentic CPU workloads, Pensando networking connects global system resources, and ROCm.AI addresses software complexity. Finally, Helios assembles these components into a true competitive threat for NVIDIA’s latest Vera Rubin platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD’s open architecture may appeal to customers seeking supplier choice, but openness must also translate into reliable deployments, competitive total cost and software that does not require a significant rip-up. NVIDIA enters this cycle with a stronger ecosystem and far more rack-scale deployment experience. The true test will be how easily and reliably customers can integrate, operate and maintain these AMD solutions at scale.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As it stands, AMD now has major customers and a clearly defined architecture with systems engineering expertise behind it. Delivering Helios on schedule and showing that its performance claims translate into a real production workload throughput advantage and total cost of ownership gains will determine how much the competitive gap narrows. And of course, this is in a market that is clamoring for ever-more compute resources with a seemingly insatiable demand for AI services and capacity. That’s an environment for big iron success. Now AMD just has to deliver optimized, turnkey AI platforms. This is far easier said than done, but time will soon tell as deployments take shape this year.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 101 enterprises, agent orchestration is consolidating onto model-provider platforms — Anthropic’s Claude leads by a wide margin — chosen for the gravity of the underlying model and judged on reliable multi-step execution. But the ambition runs well ahead of the reality: most deployed “agents” are still chatbot wrappers, the control plane enterprises expect is deliberately hybrid to avoid lock-in, and real-time fiscal control over token burn remains the exception.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines enterprise agent orchestration: which platforms enterprises run on, what drives the choice, what they optimize for, how they expect agent control to be structured, and — most revealingly — how orchestrated their deployed “agents” actually are and how tightly they control the cost of running them.</p><p>The central finding is a gap between orchestration ambition and orchestration reality. Enterprises are consolidating fast onto the major model platforms: Anthropic’s Claude is the primary platform for 40%, more than double any rival, followed by Microsoft (18%) and OpenAI (13%). The choice is driven by “model gravity” — native alignment with a state-of-the-art base model (21%) — and success is judged by reliable, multi-step execution (task completion reliability 32%, multi-step workflow management 28%). Yet asked to assess their portfolios honestly, 71% say a quarter or fewer of their deployed “agents” are true multi-step orchestrated workflows rather than single-prompt chatbot wrappers, and only 10% have crossed the halfway mark. The orchestration layer is being built well ahead of the orchestrated portfolio it is meant to run.</p><p>That gap shapes the architecture enterprises are putting in place. By the end of 2026 a clear majority (51%) expect a hybrid control plane — provider-native plus external orchestration — and only 6% expect to hand control to a provider-managed service, because vendor lock-in (35%) is the risk they fear most if control lives inside a model provider. Investment follows the build-out: agent workflow tooling leads the spend (34%), with security and permissions enforcement (25%) behind. And fiscal control lags throughout — more than a quarter (27%) have no real-time way to stop a runaway agent before the bill arrives.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this instrument focused on enterprise agent orchestration. Responses are filtered to organizations with 100 or more employees (n=101), drawn from a single June 2026 wave; because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends.</p><p>By organization size the sample is spread evenly across the enterprise bands: 100–499 employees, 2,500–9,999, and 50,000+ (21% each), with 10,000–49,999 and 500–2,499 (19% each). By role it is senior and buyer-credible: product and program managers (15%), CIO/CTO/CISO (13%), consultants and advisors (13%), and a spread of data, AI, and engineering directors and VPs, with an “Other” function at 18%. On purchasing, 81% are recommenders, influencers, or final decision-makers for AI solutions (66% recommender/influencer, 15% final decision-maker). Technology/Software is the largest industry at 44%, followed by Financial Services (17%) and Healthcare/Life Sciences (8%).</p><p>At 101 respondents the sample is robust enough to read directionally with reasonable confidence, though it remains self-selected and is not a probability sample.</p><h2>Finding 1: Orchestration runs on model-provider platforms</h2><p><b>Anthropic’s Claude leads; open frameworks are marginal</b></p><p>We asked which agent orchestration platform enterprises primarily use today. The answer concentrates on the major model providers — and on one in particular.</p><div></div><p>A note on reading these shares. As described in the methodology section, the respondents are self-selected, and this question asked them for a single primary platform — so the figures measure which platform leads each enterprise's deployment, within a self-selected audience of AI-active technical decision-makers. A sample built this way can diverge substantially from spend-weighted market measures, and each VB Pulse survey draws its own sample with its own company-size mix, so vendor figures should not be compared across our surveys either. Read these shares as a portrait of where this cohort has placed its primary orchestration bet today, rather than as market share.</p><p>The model platforms dominate. Anthropic, Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and Amazon together account for roughly 80% of deployments (81 of 101), while the open frameworks (LangChain/LangGraph) and custom in-house builds that anchor engineering discussion sit in single digits. Anthropic’s lead — 40%, more than double the next platform — mirrors the “model gravity” selection logic in Finding 2: enterprises are choosing the orchestration layer that comes with the model they want to build on. As with the security vendors in the prior agent-security wave, the tools that define the category in technical circles are not yet where enterprise deployment concentrates. A small 3% are not orchestrating at all.</p><p>Respondents rate the platforms they run at 3.94 out of 5 overall (109 answered), with “value for money” specifically at 3.94 and “ease of implementation” the weakest score, at 3.85 — placing orchestration near the bottom of our five-tracker satisfaction range, ahead of only evaluation tooling. A rating just under 4 out of 5, from users of whom 96% plan to change their orchestration approach within the year, reads as provisional acceptance: the platforms work well enough to run today, and not well enough to stop the search for something better. The ratings sit alongside near-universal intent to change; this is a layer enterprises tolerate more than they love.</p><h2>Finding 2: Model gravity drives platform selection</h2><p><b>The base model, not the tooling, decides the platform</b></p><p>We asked what most influenced the orchestration platform choice. The single largest factor is the pull of the underlying model — though flexibility and ease of development follow close behind.</p><div></div><p>Model gravity leading is the selection-side explanation for Anthropic’s platform lead: enterprises pick the orchestration environment closest to the frontier model they have standardized on. But the next tier complicates the picture — flexibility across models and tools (17%) and ease of development (17%) say enterprises also want to avoid being trapped by that choice, foreshadowing the lock-in fear in Finding 6. Security and permissions (14%) and total cost of ownership (11%) round out a pragmatic buying logic. Performance (latency/memory) sits last at 4%, a reminder that at this stage of adoption the binding constraints are model fit and optionality, not raw speed.</p><h2>Finding 3: The job is reliable multi-step execution</h2><p><b>Enterprises just orchestration by whether it completes the work</b></p><p>We asked what enterprises optimize for — their primary success metric for orchestration. Reliability and multi-step workflow management dominate; developer- and user-facing metrics trail.</p><div></div><p>Task completion reliability (32%) and multi-step workflow management (28%) together account for 59% of responses (60 of 101): orchestration succeeds, in the enterprise view, when it reliably carries a task through multiple steps to completion. Developer productivity (17%) matters but is secondary — the inverse of its prominence in framework discussion — and end-user experience (9%) is a minor concern, consistent with orchestration being an internal execution problem rather than a UX one. This reliability-first standard is exactly what makes the Chatbot Trap finding so pointed: enterprises define success as dependable multi-step execution, yet most of their deployed “agents” do not yet do multi-step work at all.</p><p>The trap is not evenly distributed. Splitting the sample by organization size, 77% of smaller enterprises say a quarter or fewer of their agents do true multi-step work, against 62% of larger ones. Larger enterprises are meaningfully further into genuine multi-step deployment; the chatbot trap is, directionally, a mid-market condition.</p><h2>Finding 4: Consolidate, productionize, and build in-house </h2><p><b>Three strategic moves are nearly tied for the year ahead</b></p><p>We asked what major change enterprises anticipate in their orchestration strategy over the next 12 months. Three moves cluster at the top, almost evenly split.</p><div></div><p>The top three — building in-house control (25%), standardizing on one framework (24%), and moving agents from sandbox to production (23%) — are statistically indistinguishable and tell a single story: enterprises are moving from experimentation to operational consolidation. They want fewer frameworks, more production exposure, and more ownership of the control layer; only 4% expect no change. The appetite for custom in-house control planes is notable alongside the platform concentration in Finding 1 — enterprises are standardizing on model-provider platforms while simultaneously planning to wrap them in control logic they own, the hybrid posture that Finding 6 makes explicit.</p><h2>Finding 5: Nearly seven in 10 plan to switch — and the biggest group of movers has no shortlist </h2><p>The strategic change enterprises anticipate (previous finding) comes with vendor motion attached. Asked whether they plan to adopt a new, additional, or replacement agent orchestration platform in the next twelve months, more respondents are moving here than in any other layer we track.</p><div></div><p>Asked which platforms they are considering, the most common answer among those in motion is none yet: 29% of all respondents are evaluating without a shortlist, the largest single response after "not considering a change." Among named candidates, OpenAI leads at 16%, followed by LangChain/LangGraph at 12% and Anthropic at 7% — and notably, the independent frameworks draw roughly double their current usage footprint in forward consideration, the same pattern our security tracker found for specialist vendors. Read with this report's concentration and lock-in findings, the picture completes itself: the major model-platform providers hold roughly four-fifths of today's primary usage, vendor lock-in has become the leading fear, 96% anticipate a strategic change — and now the purchase intent to act on all of it, with the largest bloc of buyers still undecided. The most concentrated layer of the agentic stack is also, as of June, the least settled.</p><h2>Finding 6: Investment flows to workflow tooling</h2><p><b>Tooling and permissions lead the spend; monitoring trails</b></p><p>We asked which orchestration-related investment will grow most next year. Agent workflow tooling leads, with security and permissions enforcement behind.</p><div></div><p>Workflow tooling leading (34%) is the budget-side expression of the reliability-and-multi-step priority in Finding 3: the money is going to the machinery that strings steps together dependably. Security and permissions enforcement (25%) and scaling infrastructure (20%) follow — the investments required to take agents from sandbox into production, the strategic move in Finding 4. Monitoring and debugging draws a smaller 11%, with another 11% reporting flat budgets. The weight on tooling, permissions, and scaling over pure observability signals that enterprises are spending to build and harden orchestration, not merely to watch it run.</p><h2>Finding 7: The control plane will be hybrid — and lock-in is why</h2><p><b>Enterprises expect to split control between providers and their own layer</b></p><p>We asked where enterprises expect the primary control plane for agents to live by the end of 2026, and what worries them most if that control sits inside a model-provider platform. A clear majority expect a hybrid model — and vendor lock-in is the reason.</p><div></div><p>Hybrid control is the dominant expectation by a wide margin (51%), and only 6% expect to hand control to a provider-managed service outright. Read together, the hybrid, custom, and externally-abstracted options — every architecture that keeps control at least partly outside the provider — sum to 88% (89 of 101). The reason surfaces directly when we asked about the risk of provider-resident control: vendor lock-in leads at 35% (35 of 101), ahead of security and permissioning limitations (28%) and inflexibility across models and tools (21%). The pattern echoes the prior wave’s “don’t trust the model to police itself” posture — here, enterprises will build on a provider’s platform but decline to be governed entirely by it. The hybrid control plane is the architectural hedge against the lock-in they most fear.</p><p>The June figure asserting a preference for a hybrid control plane marks movement from earlier. In the April–May survey (n=145), only 34% expected a hybrid control plane, and a greater number (12%) expected to hand control fully to a provider-managed service. These two snapshots don’t yet measure a confirmed longitudinal trend — but the direction of the conversation is unambiguous: toward keeping control.</p><p>Lock-in is also a new arrival as a top concern. In the April–May wave, the leading concern was security and permissioning limitations (32%), with lock-in second at 24%; by June the two had traded places. The worry about provider platforms appears to be maturing from whether they can be secured to whether they can be replaced.</p><h2>Finding 8: The chatbot trap — most “agents” aren’t agents yet</h2><p><b>Enterprises admit most deployments are still chatbot wrappers</b></p><p>We asked enterprises to assess their portfolios honestly: what share of their deployed “agents” are true multi-step orchestrated workflows versus simple single-prompt chatbot wrappers. The answer is the defining finding of this wave.</p><div></div><p>This is the gap at the center of the report. Combining the bottom two bands, 71% of enterprises (72 of 101) say a quarter or fewer of their deployed “agents” are genuinely orchestrated — and just 10% (10 of 101) have crossed the halfway mark. The ambition documented in the earlier findings — model-provider platforms, reliability-first success metrics, production rollouts, a deliberate control architecture — runs well ahead of the deployed reality, which remains overwhelmingly single-prompt assistants dressed as agents. This is less a contradiction than a roadmap: the platforms, budgets, and strategies are being put in place precisely because the orchestrated portfolio is still so thin. The open question for later waves is how fast the reality closes on the ambition.</p><h2>Finding 9: Fiscal control is still reactive</h2><p><b>Only a minority can stop a runaway agent before the bill arrives</b></p><p>Finally, we asked how enterprises enforce fiscal control over agent token consumption — the risk that an autonomous loop exhausts a budget before anyone intervenes. Most rely on native caps or after-the-fact monitoring; real-time programmatic control is the exception.</p><div></div><p>More than a quarter of enterprises (27%) admit they have no real-time, programmatic way to stop an agent before a budget-breaking bill arrives — they learn of it from the logs afterward. Another 32% lean entirely on the native caps and throttles built into their primary platform, a control only as good as the provider’s tooling and one that ties back to the lock-in concern of Finding 6. The enterprises building custom gateways (23%) or exploiting cross-model routing to arbitrage cost (19%) are the ones treating token burn as an engineering problem to be controlled deterministically. As with orchestration maturity, fiscal control is an area where the operational reality lags the ambition: agents are moving toward production faster than the cost-control plane around them is being built.</p><p>It’s worth noting, a split appears according to company size: roughly one in three enterprises under 2,500 employees (34%) exercises only reactive control of agent spend, against 20% of larger enterprises — directional figures, but consistent with the chatbot-trap split. The mid-market is running the least mature agents on the least instrumented budgets.</p><h2>The bottom line: The layer is real; most of the agents aren't yet</h2><p>Organizations with 100 or more employees describe an orchestration strategy that is consolidating quickly and maturing slowly. They are standardizing — for now — on model-provider platforms, which collectively hold roughly four-fifths of primary usage, chosen for the gravity of the underlying model, and they judge success by reliable multi-step execution. Investment is flowing to workflow tooling and permissions, the strategy is to consolidate frameworks and push agents into production, and the control plane they expect is deliberately hybrid, because vendor lock-in is the risk they fear most. But the standardization is provisional: 68% plan to adopt a new, additional, or replacement orchestration platform within twelve months — the highest switching intent of any layer we track — and the largest group of those movers has not yet shortlisted a candidate. Today's concentration describes where enterprises are, and visibly does not describe where they intend to stay.</p><p>But the honest self-assessment punctures the ambition. Seventy-one percent say a quarter or fewer of their deployed "agents" are truly orchestrated, only 10% are past the halfway mark, and more than a quarter cannot stop a runaway agent in real time. The orchestration layer — the platforms, the budgets, the control architecture — is being built ahead of the orchestrated portfolio it is meant to run. At 101 respondents in a single June wave this reads as a clear directional signal rather than a precise measurement: enterprises have decided how they want to orchestrate agents well before most of their agents are doing anything an orchestration layer is for. The questions for subsequent waves are whether the deployed reality closes the gap on the ambition — and, with nearly seven in ten buyers in motion and most of them undecided, which platforms the settled stack finally lands on.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 101 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single June 2026 wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, results read directionally rather than as a confirmed trend. Respondents include product and program managers, CIOs, CTOs and CISOs, consultants and advisors, and directors and VPs of data, AI, and engineering, across Technology/Software, Financial Services, Healthcare, and other sectors.</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 157 enterprises, organizations are granting AI agents more autonomy while trusting the evaluations meant to gate that autonomy less. Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated evaluation today; and the most-cited weakness is that evaluations do not align with real-world outcomes. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively engineering toward, deploying agent changes to production on automated evaluation alone — with no human in the loop. The result is an evaluation gap — the distance between how much autonomy enterprises are handing their agents and how far they trust the tests that are supposed to catch the failures.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines how technical leaders measure agent performance: which reliability and evaluation platforms they use, how they select and trust them, what breaks in production, and how far they are willing to let agents run without a human in the loop.</p><p>The central finding is an evaluation gap — the distance between the autonomy enterprises are granting their agents and the trust they place in the evaluations meant to govern it. Half of organizations (50%) have, in the past year, deployed an agent or LLM feature that passed their internal evaluations and then caused a customer-facing failure, and a quarter have seen it happen more than once. Trust in the tests themselves is thin: only 5% say they fully trust automated evaluation today, and the single most-cited limitation is that evaluations align poorly with real-world outcomes (29%). Enterprises are discovering that a passing eval is not the same as a working agent.</p><p>What makes the gap consequential is the direction of travel. Two-thirds of organizations (66%) already permit fully automated, zero-human-in-the-loop deployment for low-risk agents (34%) or are actively engineering their pipelines to allow it within twelve months (33%). At the same time, the evaluation stack that would have to earn that trust is fragmented and immature: the most common primary tools are the model providers’ native evals, tied with having no dedicated tooling at all (17% each); and only about a quarter of enterprises run real-time quality checks on live production traffic. The autonomy is arriving faster than the assurance.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this survey — the Agentic Reliability &amp; Evals tracker — focused on how technical leaders evaluate agent performance and reliability. Responses are filtered to organizations with 100 or more employees (n=157), drawn from a single survey in June 2026; because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Where questions were multiple-select, those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By role the sample is senior and buyer-credible: 38% are final decision-makers for AI purchases and another 34% recommenders or influencers. Product and program managers (15%), consultants and advisors (10%), directors of engineering/IT (8%), and CIOs/CTOs/CISOs (8%) lead the named titles, alongside a large “Other” function (37%). By organization size the sample is mid-market-weighted: 100–499 (37%) and 500–2,499 (27%) employees lead, with 2,500–9,999 (20%), 10,000–49,999 (10%), and 50,000+ (6%) above them. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 23%, followed by Retail/Consumer (15%), Healthcare/Life Sciences (12%), and Manufacturing (10%).</p><p>At 157 respondents the sample is large enough to read directionally but should be treated as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It skews toward the mid-market, so it is best read as the view from organizations actively standing up agent evaluation practices rather than from the largest operators.</p><p><i>Note: This survey was rebuilt for the June wave from the earlier “LLM observability and evaluations” survey; because the questions and sample differ, no comparisons are made to the April–May data.</i></p><h1>Finding 1: A passing eval is not a working agent</h1><p><b>Half have shipped an agent that passed evals, then failed a customer</b></p><p>We asked whether, in the past 12 months, organizations had deployed an agent or LLM feature that passed their internal evaluations but then caused a customer-facing failure. Half of those that run evaluations had.</p><div></div><p>This is the report’s defining number. Half of organizations (50%) have shipped an AI feature that cleared their internal evaluations and then failed in front of a customer — an incorrect output, a broken workflow, or a quality incident — and a quarter have seen it happen more than once. Only 36% report no such failure, and the remainder either run no pre-deployment evaluations (8%) or don’t track the root cause closely enough to know (6%). The failure is precise and expensive: the evaluation said the agent was ready, and it was not. Everything that follows — how enterprises trust their evals, what they monitor, and how much autonomy they grant — is shaped by this experience.</p><h2>Finding 2: Almost no one fully trusts automated evaluation</h2><p><b>The top complaint: Evals don't match real-world outcomes</b></p><p>We asked which limitation most reduces trust in automated agent evaluations today. Only a sliver of enterprises had no complaint at all.</p><div></div><p>Trust in automated evaluation is scarce, and specific. Only 5% of organizations say they fully trust automated evaluation as it stands — meaning 95% name a limitation that holds them back. The most common, at 29%, is the one that most directly explains Finding 1: evaluations align poorly with real-world outcomes, passing agents that later fail. Bias or inconsistency (21%) and a lack of explainability (18%) follow — enterprises cannot always tell why an evaluation reached its verdict — and 17% cite data-leakage or privacy concerns in the evaluation process itself. The tests meant to certify agents are not yet trusted to certify them, which is precisely why the autonomy trajectory in Finding 3 is so striking.</p><h2>Finding 3: The autonomy ceiling is rising anyway</h2><p><b>Two-thirds already allow, or are building toward, zero-human deployment</b></p><p>We asked whether organizations would let an autonomous agent deploy a code or system change to production on automated evaluation results alone, with no human-in-the-loop validation. The trajectory runs straight through the trust gap.</p><div></div><p>Here is the paradox at the heart of the report. Even though almost no one fully trusts automated evaluation (Finding 2), two-thirds of organizations (66%) either already allow zero-human-in-the-loop deployment for low-risk agents (34%) or are actively engineering their pipelines to permit it within a year (33%). Only 22% rule it out for the foreseeable future. The direction is unambiguous: enterprises are moving to let evaluations gate production autonomously — removing the human check — at the same moment they say those evaluations don’t reliably match reality. The autonomy ceiling is rising faster than the assurance beneath it, which is the mechanism by which the false-confidence failures of Finding 1 will scale rather than shrink.</p><p>Notably, the autonomy bet is not just a small company phenomenon. Splitting the sample by company size, larger enterprises are slightly further down the path toward zero human review than smaller companies (70% versus 64%) and slightly more likely to have shipped an evaluation-passing agent that then failed a customer (54% versus 48%). The assumption that large, regulated organizations are holding the human in the loop longest is, in this sample, backwards.  To be sure, these are directional figures, since the survey was not a huge sample — 57 respondents from companies with 2,500+ employees and 100 from companies smaller than that. </p><h2>Finding 4: The evaluation stack is fragmented and provider-led</h2><p><b>Provider-native evals lead — tied with no dedicated tool at all</b></p><p>We asked which agent reliability or evaluation platform enterprises primarily use today. The market has no clear leader — and a large share has nothing dedicated.</p><div></div><p>The evaluation layer is early and unconsolidated. Provider-native tooling leads — OpenAI’s native evals and traces (17%) and Anthropic’s Claude Console evals (13%) together outweigh any independent platform — but it is tied at the top by a striking answer: 17% of enterprises use no dedicated agent-evaluation tooling at all, a notable gap for organizations shipping agents to customers. The specialist evaluation vendors — DeepEval (12%), Braintrust (8%), LangSmith, Weave, Promptfoo, Langfuse, Arize — are scattered across single to low double digits, and 11% have built their own. No independent platform has yet become the category standard, which leaves most enterprises evaluating agents with provider-native tools, home-grown scripts, or nothing.</p><h2>Finding 5: Production monitoring rarely watches output quality</h2><p><b>Only a quarter run real-time quality checks on live traffic</b></p><p>Production monitoring for an AI agent can watch two very different things. It can watch whether the system is <b>functioning</b> — is the agent up and responding, did each request complete, how fast, at what cost, with any errors. Or it can watch whether the agent's output is <b>correct</b> — automated checks that evaluate the content of each answer as it goes out: did the agent give the right answer, take the right action, stay within policy. The distinction matters because a confidently wrong answer is invisible to the first kind of monitoring: the request completes, the response is fast, no error is thrown, and every functioning-metric reads healthy. We asked organizations which kind their live production monitoring is built for today.</p><div></div><p>Grouped by what is actually being watched, the split is stark: 51% of organizations monitor only whether the agent is functioning, while 23% monitor whether its answers are right. Counting the ad-hoc reviewers and the don't-knows, roughly three-quarters of organizations run no automated, real-time evaluation of output correctness in production — they can see that the system is up and what it costs, and they are taking the correctness of its answers on faith. That blind spot is the runtime counterpart to the pre-deployment gap in Finding 1: the same organizations engineering the human out of the deployment decision mostly cannot see, in real time, when the deployed agent starts getting things wrong.</p><h2>Finding 6: Bought on cost, measured on consistency</h2><p><b>Price and integration drive selection; evaluation consistency is the goal</b></p><p>We asked what most influenced enterprises’ choice of an evaluation vendor, and what they treat as their primary measure of success. Both answers are pragmatic.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises buy evaluation tooling on economics and trust it on repeatability. Cost of evaluations (28%) narrowly leads selection, just ahead of ease of integration (27%) and evaluation accuracy (24%) — breadth of observability (13%) and vendor roadmap (4%) matter far less. On what success looks like, more than a third (36%) name evaluation consistency — getting the same verdict on the same behavior every time — well ahead of speed of experimentation (19%), reduction in failures (18%), production visibility (13%), and compliance (11%). The emphasis on consistency is telling: before enterprises can trust an evaluation’s verdict, they need it to be stable — the very property whose absence (bias and inconsistency) ranked among the top trust limitations in Finding 2. Satisfaction with current tooling is only moderate, averaging 3.8 on a five-point scale across overall satisfaction, ease of implementation, and value for money.</p><h2>Finding 7: The next dollar goes to humans and observability</h2><p><b>Investment is flowing to oversight, not just automation</b></p><p>We asked which reliability and evaluation investment will grow most over the next year. The money is going toward watching agents more closely — including with people.</p><div></div><p>The second-largest planned investment — behind only production observability — is human review workflows, at 26%. Read against Finding 1, that is the report's quietest contradiction: at the same moment two-thirds of enterprises are engineering the human out of the deployment decision, more of them plan to grow spending on human reviewers (26%) than on the automated evaluation pipelines (16%) that would replace them. The zero-human trajectory and the human-review budget are rising in the same companies at the same time. Indeed, only 8% report that their budget is not increasing. </p><p>Taken together, enterprises are hedging: building toward autonomy while spending to watch agents more closely and keep humans available for the calls that automated evaluation cannot yet be trusted to make.</p><h2>Finding 8: A tooling reshuffle is coming</h2><p><b>Nearly two-thirds plan to adopt or switch platforms within a year</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises plan to adopt a new, additional, or replacement evaluation platform, and which they are considering. Few intend to stand pat.</p><div></div><p>The evaluation market is wide open. While 36% have no plans to change, a clear majority (64%) intend to adopt a new, additional, or replacement platform within twelve months, and 31% within the next quarter. The consideration set points where current usage is thinnest: Confident AI’s DeepEval leads what enterprises are evaluating (20%), ahead of OpenAI’s native evals (13%) and Braintrust (9%) — the open-source specialists drawing more interest than their present footprint. </p><p>Given that so many enterprises today rely on provider-native tools or nothing at all (Finding 4), this is less a defection than a first real wave of tooling adoption — the moment the evaluation layer starts to consolidate. Which platforms earn that trust, in a market where almost no one trusts automated evaluation yet, is the open question this series will keep tracking.</p><h2>The bottom line: An evaluation gap that autonomy will widen, not close</h2><p>Organizations with 100 or more employees are granting AI agents more independence than they trust their evaluations to support. Half have already shipped an agent that passed its evals and then failed a customer; almost none fully trust automated evaluation, chiefly because it doesn’t match real-world outcomes; and most watch production for uptime and cost rather than for whether the agent’s answers are right. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively building toward, deploying to production on automated evaluation alone.</p><p>The vendor market is early and unsettled: the most common primary evaluation tools are provider-native evals, tied with no dedicated tooling at all, and a clear majority plan to adopt or switch platforms within the year. Encouragingly, the next dollar is going to observability and — pointedly — human review, suggesting enterprises sense the gap even as they engineer past it. At 157 respondents in a single wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market — but the direction is clear: autonomy is being granted on the strength of evaluations that the people granting it do not yet trust. The evaluation gap is not a coverage problem that more tests alone will close; it is a problem of evaluations that reflect reality and can be trusted to gate it. The open question for later waves is whether assurance catches up to autonomy — or whether the false-confidence failures move from customer incidents into changes that deploy themselves.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 157 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single June 2026 wave.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 101 enterprises, the infrastructure that feeds AI agents their business context is being built faster than it can be trusted. Retrieval-augmented generation is already the default context source, and provider-native retrieval has quietly overtaken the dedicated vector databases that define the category — yet a majority of enterprises have already watched their agents produce confident, wrong answers traced to missing or inconsistent context. A governed semantic layer is emerging as the fix, but most are still building it; the field is converging on hybrid retrieval; and even as provider-native tools lead in practice, a plurality say they intend to keep best-of-breed. The result is a context gap — agents that sound authoritative running on a foundation their owners do not yet fully trust.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines the enterprise RAG and context layer: what feeds AI agents their business context, which retrieval systems enterprises run, how they buy and measure them, where the architecture is heading, and — most revealingly — how often that context is already failing them.</p><p>The central finding is a context gap — the distance between how confidently enterprise agents answer and how reliable the context beneath them actually is. A majority of enterprises (57%) report that in the past six months their AI agents produced confident but wrong answers they traced to missing or inconsistent business context, and more than half of those said it happened more than once. This is not a fringe failure: retrieval is the primary context source for 38% of enterprises, more than any other approach, so when retrieval is thin or inconsistent, the errors it produces are wearing the agent’s authority. The infrastructure to fix it is being built — 58% already run or are building a governed semantic layer — but for most it is not yet in production.</p><p>Underneath, the market is consolidating in a direction that surprises. Provider-native retrieval — OpenAI’s file search (40%) and Google’s Vertex AI Search (38%) — already leads every dedicated vector database, and enterprises expect hybrid retrieval to dominate by the end of 2026 (34%). Yet a plurality (36%) say they intend to keep best-of-breed standalone tools rather than consolidate onto a provider’s native context stack, and a majority (57%) plan to switch or add a provider within the year. Stated preference and actual usage are pulling in opposite directions — the market is buying provider-native while insisting it wants independence.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series. This survey focused on enterprise RAG infrastructure and the context layer — the retrieval systems, semantic layers, and context sources that feed AI agents. Responses are filtered to organizations with more than 100 employees (n=101); the survey drew no responses from organizations of 100 or fewer, so the full sample qualifies. All responses are from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave, so the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Several questions were multiple-select, so those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By organization size the sample concentrates in the mid-market: 251–1,000 employees (31%) and 101–250 (31%) lead, with 1,001–5,000 (20%), 5,001–10,000 (12%), and 10,001+ (7%) above them. By role it spans managers (39%), individual contributors (27%), the C-suite (16%), and VPs and directors (14%); on purchasing authority it is buyer-credible, with 46% final decision-makers and another 26% recommenders or influencers. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 20%, followed by Healthcare/Life Sciences (11%) and a broad spread across retail, transportation, financial services, manufacturing, and education.</p><p>At 101 respondents this is a modest sample and should be read as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It is best read as the view from organizations actively standing up RAG and context infrastructure rather than from the largest operators.</p><h2>Finding 1: Confident and wrong</h2><p><b>More than half have traced agent errors to bad context</b></p><p>We asked whether, in the past six months, enterprises had traced a confident but wrong agent answer to missing or inconsistent business context. Most had.</p><div></div><p>This is the report’s defining number. A majority of enterprises (57%) have already had an AI agent produce a confident, wrong answer they traced to bad context — wrong metrics, stale definitions, or missing documents — and more than half of those have seen it happen more than once. Only 28% report no such failure, and a small remainder either don’t run agents on enterprise data or don’t trace root cause closely enough to know. </p><p>The failure mode is specific and dangerous: the model is not obviously hallucinating; it is confidently wrong because the context feeding it was thin or inconsistent. Everything else in this report — what enterprises retrieve, how they govern it, and what they plan to build — is downstream of this problem.</p><h2>Finding 2: RAG is the default context source</h2><p><b>Retrieval feeds more agents than any other method</b></p><p>We asked what an enterprise’s AI agents primarily use to understand its data. Retrieval leads by a wide margin.</p><div></div><p>Retrieval is the backbone of enterprise context. For 38% of organizations, RAG over documents or a vector index is the primary way agents understand the business — nearly twice the share of the next approach, a governed semantic layer or ontology (21%). Mixed approaches (14%), direct live-system queries (10%), and long-context loading (6%) fill out the rest, and only 2% let agents run on the model’s general knowledge alone. The concentration matters in light of Finding 1: because so much enterprise context flows through retrieval, the quality of that retrieval is the quality of the answer. When RAG is the default source, thin retrieval is not an edge case — it is the main failure surface.</p><p>One approach is notable for its absence from these answers: customizing model weights, also known as fine-tuning. Every leading source of business context is injected at run time. Our most recent direct measurement of fine-tuning comes from our April–May survey wave (a separate survey, n=136), where fine-tuning capabilities ranked last of six factors in model selection at 5% — even as 26% of that sample still named fine-tuning and customization an investment they expect to grow. Fine-tuning has fallen out of the primary selection conversation; context injection is how enterprises make agents knowledgeable about their business.</p><h2>Finding 3: Provider-native retrieval already leads the vector databases</h2><p><b>OpenAI file search and vertex AI search top the dedicated tools</b></p><p>We asked which retrieval systems enterprises run in production today. The answer favors the model providers and hyperscalers over the specialists.</p><div></div><p>The dedicated vector database is no longer the center of the RAG stack. OpenAI’s file search (40%) and Google’s Vertex AI Search (38%) lead — provider-native and hyperscaler-native retrieval — ahead of every purpose-built vector database. Among the specialists, the most-used is the one enterprises already run for other reasons (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, 20%) and the open, embedded option (pgvector, 12%); the pure-play vector databases that define the category — Weaviate, Qdrant, Pinecone, Milvus — each sit in single digits to low double digits. Notably, 13% of enterprises say they still run no production RAG at all. As with the platforms in the parallel infrastructure wave, enterprises are gravitating to retrieval that comes bundled with tools they already buy.</p><p>The shape of this finding held across both Q2 waves. In April–May (n=161), provider-built retrieval led usage there too, while every dedicated vector database remained marginal — the most-used standalone vector database peaked at 8% of that sample — and the hybrid, pluralistic future was already the consensus expectation (34% expected hybrid retrieval to dominate, with another 29% expecting multiple architectures by use case). Two waves, consistent picture: the category that coined the “vector database” term is being collected by the platforms enterprises already buy from.</p><h2>Finding 4: But they say they want to keep best-of-breed</h2><p><b>A plurality resist consolidating onto a provider’s native stack</b></p><p>We asked how enterprises will respond as model providers bundle retrieval, memory, and orchestration into their platforms. Their stated intent cuts against their current usage.</p><div></div><p>Here is the tension at the heart of the stack. Even as provider-native retrieval leads in practice (Finding 3), a plurality of enterprises (36%) say they intend to keep best-of-breed standalone tools rather than consolidate onto a provider’s native context stack — well ahead of the 21% who plan to consolidate. Another 21% expect a mix, and 9% intend to build and own the layer themselves. The gap between what enterprises run and what they say they want is the strategic question of the category: they are adopting bundled retrieval for convenience while asserting they will preserve independence. Which impulse wins — the pull of the provider bundle or the stated preference for modular control — will shape the retrieval market more than any single tool.</p><h2>Finding 5: Hybrid retrieval is the consensus bet</h2><p><b>Vector-only retrieval is already seen as insufficient</b></p><p>We asked which retrieval architecture enterprises expect to dominate their production RAG systems by the end of 2026. The field is converging — with a large share still unsure.</p><div></div><p>The architecture is settling on hybrid. A third (34%) expect hybrid retrieval — embeddings combined with reranking and access controls — to dominate their production systems by the end of 2026, three times the 11% who expect vector-only retrieval to prevail. That is a notable signal: the pure vector-search approach that launched the category is already viewed as insufficient on its own, superseded by pipelines that add reranking for accuracy and access controls for governance — the very access controls whose absence produces the failures in Finding 1. Tellingly, the second-largest answer is uncertainty: 17% simply don’t know, and another 14% expect to move beyond a dedicated vector layer entirely toward tool-first or long-context retrieval. The consensus is not a single tool but a layered pipeline — and it is not yet fully formed.</p><h2>Finding 6: The governed context layer is being built now</h2><p><b>Most run or are building a semantic layer — few in production</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises use a governed semantic or context layer to give agents and BI a shared understanding of their data. Most are on the path; fewer have arrived.</p><div></div><p>The fix for the context gap is under construction. Well over half of enterprises (58%) either run a governed semantic layer in production (25%) or are piloting and building one (34%), and a further 17% are actively evaluating — meaning three-quarters are engaged with the idea in some form. But the balance is telling: more are building than have shipped, so for most enterprises the shared, governed definition layer that would prevent the "confident but wrong" failures of Finding 1 is still a work in progress. The semantic layer is the industry’s answer to inconsistent context; this wave catches it mid-construction, ambition well ahead of production.</p><h2>Finding 7: Bought on ingestion and simplicity, watched for correctness</h2><p><b>Selection favors operability; monitoring favors correctness and security</b></p><p>We asked what matters most when enterprises choose a retrieval system, and what they track once it is running. Both answers lean practical.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises choose retrieval systems on operability. Ease of data ingestion (36%), latency and performance (32%), and operational simplicity (29%) lead the selection criteria — ahead of retrieval accuracy and access control (23% each), the two factors most directly tied to the failures in Finding 1. Once systems are running, the emphasis shifts toward trust: the most-tracked metrics are response correctness (42%) and security and access control (38%), ahead of latency (28%), operational stability (27%), and answer relevance (23%). </p><p>Satisfaction with current systems is moderately positive but not enthusiastic — on a five-point scale, overall satisfaction averages 4.0, with ease of implementation and value for money both near 3.9. Enterprises buy for how easily a system runs and watch it for whether it can be trusted.</p><h2>Finding 8: A retrieval reshuffle is coming</h2><p><b>A majority plan to change providers — and the vector specialists are gaining interest</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises plan to change or add a retrieval provider, and which they are considering. The consideration set differs from today’s stack.</p><div></div><p>The retrieval stack is not settled. While 43% have no plans to change, a small majority (57%) intend to switch or add a provider within twelve months, and a quarter (26%) within the next quarter. The consideration set is where it gets interesting: provider-native retrieval still leads what enterprises are evaluating (OpenAI 22%, Vertex AI Search 21%), but the open-source vector specialists punch above their current footprint — Qdrant (14%) and Milvus (13%) draw more switching interest than their present usage (10% and 6%) would suggest. Read with Finding 4, the picture is a market in flux: enterprises run provider-native today, are evaluating a broader field, and say they want to keep their options open. The reshuffle ahead will test whether best-of-breed intent survives contact with the convenience of the bundle.</p><h1>The bottom line: A context gap that more retrieval alone won’t close</h1><p>Organizations with more than 100 employees are wiring agents into their business faster than they can guarantee the context those agents run on. Retrieval is the default source of enterprise context, and it increasingly comes from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than the dedicated vector databases — yet a majority of enterprises have already watched agents answer confidently and wrongly because that context was thin or inconsistent. The failure is not exotic; it is the predictable result of pointing authoritative-sounding agents at an unreliable foundation.</p><p>The industry’s answer — a governed semantic layer, hybrid retrieval with reranking and access controls — is being built but is mostly not yet in production, and enterprises are pulled between the convenience of provider-native bundles and a stated preference for best-of-breed independence. At 101 respondents in a single Q2 wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market — but the direction is clear: the context layer is the next contested tier of the AI stack, and right now agents are running ahead of it. The context gap is not a retrieval-volume problem that more documents or bigger indexes will solve on their own; it is a problem of governed, consistent, access-aware context. The open question for later waves is whether enterprises finish building that layer before the confident-but-wrong failures move from the lab into decisions that matter.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 101 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave. At this sample size the results should be read as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement — it's a self-selected sample, not a probability sample, and skews toward the mid-market.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 107 enterprises, AI agents are being given real access to systems and data while the controls meant to contain them lag behind. More than half have already had a confirmed agent security incident or a near-miss; only about a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most agents still share credentials; and only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents. The security stack is overwhelmingly borrowed from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than purpose-built for agents, spending remains a thin slice of the security budget, and enterprises are evenly split on whether their defenses are keeping pace with AI-enabled attackers. The result is an agent security gap — autonomous agents proliferating faster than the identity, isolation, and enforcement controls needed to hold them.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines how enterprises secure their AI agents: what tooling they run, how they manage agent identity and isolation, what has already gone wrong, how much they spend, and whether they believe their defenses are keeping pace with AI-enabled attackers.</p><p>The central finding is an agent security gap — the distance between the autonomy enterprises are granting their agents and the controls in place to contain them. More than half of organizations (54%) have already experienced a confirmed agent security incident (18%) or a near-miss caught before harm (36%). The structural weakness beneath those numbers is identity: only about a third (32%) give every agent its own scoped, managed identity, while the rest report that some agents share credentials or that agents mostly run on shared API keys and human or service-account credentials. When agents share credentials, a single compromised or over-permissioned agent carries a wide blast radius — and only three in ten enterprises (30%) isolate their highest-risk agents in sandboxes to bound that radius.</p><p>What makes the gap notable is how comfortable enterprises are inside it. The security stack is overwhelmingly provider-native — OpenAI’s guardrails (51%), Google’s and Microsoft’s cloud controls, and Anthropic’s managed-agent controls dominate, while the dedicated agent-security specialists barely register — and satisfaction with that borrowed stack is high, averaging 4.2 out of 5. Yet spending remains a thin slice of the security budget, only a third of enterprises believe their AI defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers, and a clear majority plan to change tooling within the year. Enterprises are satisfied with controls they are simultaneously preparing to replace.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this instrument focused on enterprise agent security — the tooling, identity, isolation, and enforcement controls organizations use to secure autonomous AI agents. Responses are filtered to organizations with more than 100 employees (n=107; the survey’s smallest size band, 1–100 employees, is excluded), drawn from a single June 2026 wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Several questions were multiple-select, so those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By role the sample is senior and buyer-credible: 45% are final decision-makers for AI purchases and another 30% recommenders or influencers. Managers (43%), individual contributors (24%), VPs and directors (15%), and the C-suite (11%) make up the seniority mix. By organization size the sample is mid-market-weighted: 251–1,000 (42%) and 101–250 (25%) employees lead, with 1,001–5,000 (19%), 5,001–10,000 (8%), and 10,001+ (7%) above them. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 23%, followed by Manufacturing (15%), Retail/E-commerce (14%), and Healthcare/Life Sciences (13%).</p><p>At 107 respondents the sample is large enough to read directionally but should be treated as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It skews toward the mid-market, so it is best read as the view from organizations actively standing up agent security rather than from the largest operators.</p><p>Satisfaction ratings are computed on the respondents who answered each rating question; the overall satisfaction score reflects 82 of the 107 qualified respondents.</p><h2>Finding 1: The incidents are already here</h2><p><b>More than half have had an agent security incident or near-miss</b></p><p>We asked whether organizations had experienced an agent security incident — a confirmed breach, or a near-miss caught before harm. Most that run agents in production had.</p><div></div><p>This is the report’s defining number. More than half of organizations (54%) have already had an agent security event — 18% a confirmed incident and 36% a near-miss caught before it caused harm. Only 42% report nothing, and a small remainder either run no agents in production or don’t track such events. That so many report near-misses rather than only confirmed incidents is telling: enterprises are catching problems, but they are catching them close to the edge. The controls examined in the rest of this report — identity, isolation, enforcement — are what determine whether the next near-miss stays a near-miss.</p><p>Exposure scales with company size, but containment does not. The incident-or-near-miss rate rises from 49% in the mid-market (companies with 101-1,000 employees) to 63% at larger enterprises (above 1,000 employees), while sandbox isolation of high-risk agents falls from 35% to 20%, and satisfaction with security tooling drops from 4.36 to 3.97. The organizations running the most agents across the most systems carry the most incidents and the least of the one control that bounds an incident's blast radius.</p><h2>Finding 2: The identity gap</h2><p><b>Only a third give every agent its own scoped identity</b></p><p>We asked how enterprises manage the identity of their AI agents — whether each agent has its own credentials, or agents share them. Full per-agent identity is the exception.</p><div></div><p>Rolled together, the overlapping answers show 69% of enterprises (74 of 107) with credential sharing somewhere in the agent fleet. Identity is the structural weakness beneath the incidents. Only about a third of enterprises (32%) give every agent its own scoped, managed identity — the precondition for least-privilege access and clean attribution. Nearly half (48%) say some agents have scoped identities but many still share credentials, and another 32% say agents mostly run on shared API keys or borrowed human and service-account credentials. (Respondents could describe more than one pattern across their agent fleet, so these overlap.) </p><p>The consequence is direct: when agents share credentials, an over-permissioned or compromised agent can act with far more reach than intended, and forensics after an incident cannot cleanly tell which agent did what. The non-human identity problem — giving every agent its own governed identity — is the single largest unfinished piece of enterprise agent security.</p><p>Moreover, a company’s agent credential posture is correlated with incidents. Organizations with credential sharing anywhere in the fleet were hit — with an incident or a near-miss in the past twelve months — at 63.5% (47 of 74). Organizations where every agent carries its own scoped identity were hit at 40.9% (9 of 22). The fully-scoped group is small, so for now the relationship is an association rather than proven causation, and the gap is concentrated in the mid-market — but within a single survey, a twenty-three point difference in incident rate suggests significance.</p><h2>Finding 3: Observe and enforce, but rarely isolate</h2><p><b>Only three in 10 sandbox their highest-risk agents</b></p><p>We asked what an organization’s agent security posture looks like in practice — whether they observe, enforce, isolate, or some combination. The control that bounds damage is the least common.</p><div></div><p>Monitoring and enforcement are reasonably common; containment is not. Roughly half of enterprises observe agent activity (47%) or enforce scoped permissions at runtime (49%), but only 30% isolate their highest-risk agents in sandboxes that bound the blast radius when the other controls fail. That ordering is backwards from a defense-in-depth standpoint: observation tells you what happened, enforcement tries to prevent it, but isolation is what limits the damage when prevention fails — and it is the control enterprises have adopted least. Combined with the identity gap in Finding 2, the picture is of agents that are watched and permissioned but rarely boxed in, which is precisely the configuration in which a single failure propagates.</p><h2>Finding 4: Security runs on borrowed, provider-native controls</h2><p><b>Guardrails from OpenAI, Google and Microsoft dominate; specialists barely register</b></p><p>We asked which agent security tooling enterprises use, and which is their primary layer. The answer favors the model providers and hyperscalers over the dedicated security vendors.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises are securing agents with tools that came bundled with their models and clouds. OpenAI’s guardrails lead at 51%, followed by Google’s and Microsoft’s cloud-native controls and Anthropic’s managed-agent controls — and when asked to name their single primary security layer, 82% name one of these provider-native offerings. The purpose-built agent-security category — Palo Alto’s Prisma AIRS, CrowdStrike, Cisco AI Defense, Zenity, HiddenLayer, Check Point’s Lakera, Okta for AI Agents, non-human identity platforms — barely registers, each in the low single digits, and only 5% run no dedicated tooling at all. As with retrieval and evaluation elsewhere in this series, the provider bundle is winning the default: enterprises reach first for the guardrails their platform ships, and the independent security layer that would address the identity and isolation gaps has not yet been adopted at scale.</p><p>The provider-default pattern is consistent across both Q2 survey waves. In April–May (n=110), usage was led by the same names — OpenAI's controls at 26%, Azure at 15%, AWS at 14%, Google at 12% — with every dedicated agent-security specialist at 3% or below and one in ten using no dedicated tooling at all. The common finding from the two surveys: Enterprises are defaulting to the solutions provided by the platform they’re using, and the specialist category vendors have yet to become big players here.</p><p>(<i>A note on reading these shares. As described in the methodology section, the respondent sample is self-selected and skews mid-market, and the usage question counted every vendor or approach a respondent has in place — so the figures measure presence in the security stack rather than spending or exclusivity. Individual vendor percentages therefore carry all the usual sample caveats. The structural pattern, however, held across both Q2 waves on two differently worded questions: provider-native and hyperscaler controls lead, and dedicated agent-security specialists remain in low single digits. Read the individual shares loosely and the pattern with confidence.)</i></p><h2>Finding 5: And enterprises are comfortable with it</h2><p><b>Satisfaction is high, even as incidents mount and identity lags</b></p><p>We asked how satisfied enterprises are with their current agent security tooling. The comfort is notably out of step with the exposure documented above.</p><div></div><p>Satisfaction with agent security tooling is high — 4.2 out of 5 overall, and 4.1 for value for money — among the most positive readings in this series. That is the striking part: enterprises are highly satisfied with a stack that is mostly borrowed provider guardrails, even though more than half have already had an incident or near-miss and only a third give their agents scoped identities. The comfort appears to rest on the convenience and low friction of provider-native controls rather than on demonstrated containment. It is a false comfort in the making — the same enterprises expressing satisfaction are, as Finding 8 shows, a clear majority planning to change tooling within the year, which suggests the confidence is thinner than the score implies.</p><h2>Finding 6: Budgets haven’t caught up</h2><p><b>Most spend under a tenth of the security budget on agents</b></p><p>We asked what share of the security budget enterprises allocate to securing AI agents. For a fast-emerging risk, the allocation is modest.</p><div></div><p>Spending on agent security is still a thin slice. The most common allocation is 6–10% of the security budget (46%), and a third of enterprises (34%) spend 5% or less; only a quarter (24%) devote more than a tenth. Given the incident rate in Finding 1 and the identity and isolation gaps in Findings 2 and 3, the budget looks like a lagging indicator — the risk has arrived faster than the funding to address it. The enterprises spending more than a tenth of their security budget on agents are a distinct minority, and they are likely the ones building the scoped-identity and isolation controls the rest have not.</p><h1>Finding 7: The arms race is even, at best</h1><p><b>Only a third think their AI defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers</b></p><p>We asked how enterprises assess the balance between their AI-enabled defenses and AI-enabled attackers. Confidence is far from settled.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises are split on whether they are winning. Only about a third (35%) believe their AI-enabled defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers; the rest are less sure — 32% call it roughly even, 21% think attackers are ahead, and another 21% say it is too early to tell. Taken together, a clear majority (53%) rate the balance as even or tilted toward the attacker. That uncertainty sits uneasily beside the high satisfaction of Finding 5: enterprises are content with their tooling yet unconvinced it is winning the contest it exists to win. In a domain where the offense is also compounding with AI, an even race is not a comfortable place to be.</p><h2>Finding 8: A security reshuffle is coming</h2><p><b>Nearly six in 10 plan to adopt or switch tooling within a year</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises plan to adopt a new, additional, or replacement agent security solution, and which they are considering. Few intend to stand pat.</p><div></div><p>The security stack is not settled. While 41% have no plans to change, a clear majority (59%) intend to adopt a new, additional, or replacement agent security solution within twelve months, and 29% within the next quarter — a strong signal that, high satisfaction notwithstanding, enterprises know the current stack is provisional. Incidents are what start the buying cycle. </p><p>Among organizations that have been hit, 42.1% plan to adopt, add, or replace agent security tooling within the next ninety days, against 14.0% of organizations with no incident — and after a confirmed incident it becomes majority behavior, at 52.6%. Getting hit also changes the threat assessment: 33.3% of hit organizations say AI-armed attackers are ahead of their defenses, against 8.0% of the unhit. Experience, in this data, is the strongest predictor of both urgency and pessimism.</p><p>The consideration set still leans provider-native (OpenAI 34%, Google 30%, Anthropic 29%, Azure 25%), but the dedicated security vendors — Cloudflare, Cisco, Palo Alto, Okta, Check Point’s Lakera — draw early interest in the mid-to-high single digits, more than their current footprint. </p><p>What the shopping does not yet include is the identity layer specifically. Twelve percent of the respondents include an agent-identity product — Okta for AI Agents, Microsoft Entra Agent ID, or a non-human identity platform — anywhere in their consideration set, and among the credential-sharing organizations that have already had an incident, identity consideration is essentially unchanged, at roughly one in ten. The control most directly implicated by the incident data is the one largely missing from the purchase plans. Whether this wave hardens the provider-native default or finally opens the door to purpose-built agent security — the identity and isolation controls the incidents call for — is the question this series will keep tracking.</p><h2>The bottom line: A security gap that autonomy will test first</h2><p>Organizations with more than 100 employees are giving AI agents real reach into systems and data while securing them with controls built for something else. More than half have already had an incident or near-miss; only a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most still share credentials; only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents; and the stack doing this work is overwhelmingly borrowed from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than purpose-built for agents.</p><p>The uncomfortable pairing is confidence with exposure: satisfaction with the current tooling is among the highest in this series, yet spending is a thin slice of the security budget, only a third believe their defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers, and a clear majority are already planning to replace what they have. At 107 respondents in a single wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market — but the direction is clear: agent adoption is running ahead of agent security, and the controls that matter most when something fails — scoped identity and isolation — are the ones enterprises have built least. The agent security gap is not a coverage problem that a provider guardrail will close on its own; it is a problem of identity, isolation, and enforcement built for autonomous software. The open question for later waves is whether enterprises close it deliberately — or whether a confirmed incident closes it for them.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 107 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single June 2026 wave. This is a directional read, not a precise measurement — the sample is self-selected and skews mid-market, so it's best read as the view from organizations actively standing up agent security rather than from the largest operators. Respondents are senior and buyer-credible (45% final decision-makers, 30% recommenders/influencers), spanning managers through the C-suite, and drawn primarily from Technology/Software, Manufacturing, Retail/E-commerce, and Healthcare/Life Sciences.</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a majority intend to switch or add providers within the year, many within a quarter. Buying decisions turn on integration and total cost of ownership rather than headline token price — which is fortunate, because most enterprises cannot yet see their unit economics clearly: GPUs sit at half utilization or less, and fewer than half rigorously track what their compute actually costs. The result is a compute gap — heavy, fast-moving investment running ahead of the visibility needed to control it.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines enterprise AI infrastructure and compute: where organizations are in their deployment journey, what they run AI on today, how satisfied they are, what would make them switch, where they plan to evaluate their investments, and — most revealingly — how well they can measure and control the economics of the compute underneath it all.</p><p>The central finding is a compute gap — the distance between how aggressively enterprises are investing in AI infrastructure and how little of its economics they can see. Only about one in five (21%) run AI in production at scale, yet spending intentions are outrunning that maturity: the single largest planned area enterprises plan to evaluate over the next year is AI-specialized clouds (45%), a layer almost none of these enterprises use today. Meanwhile the compute already in place runs cold — 83% report GPU utilization of 50% or less — and fewer than half (44%) can rigorously track what their AI compute costs. Enterprises are buying more infrastructure faster than they can account for what they already own.</p><p>Enterprises are not settled on their infrastructure vendors, either: A clear majority (64%) plan to switch or add an infrastructure provider within twelve months, and 38% within the next quarter — unusually high churn intent for a category this foundational. When they choose, they choose on integration with the existing stack (41%) and total cost of ownership (35%), not on headline price: cost per million tokens is the deciding factor for just 8%. And the frontier constraint that will shape the next round of decisions — the shift from GPU compute to memory bandwidth as inference scales — is barely on the radar, with roughly one in five enterprises either unaware of it or yet to address it.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this survey focused on enterprise AI infrastructure, compute, and inference economics. Responses are filtered to organizations with more than 100 employees (n=107; the survey’s smallest size band, 1–100 employees, is excluded), drawn from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Several questions were multiple-select, so those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By organization size the sample concentrates in the mid-market: 101–250 employees (36%) and 251–1,000 (27%) lead, with 1,001–5,000 (22%), 5,001–10,000 (8%), and 10,001+ (7%) above them. By role it spans managers (38%), individual contributors (28%), VPs and directors (19%), and the C-suite (13%); on purchasing authority it is buyer-credible, with 45% final decision-makers and another 30% recommenders or influencers for AI solutions. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 26%, followed by Healthcare/Life Sciences (15%), Financial Services (13%), and Retail/E-commerce (12%).</p><p>At 107 respondents the sample is large enough to read directionally but should be treated as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It also skews toward the mid-market and toward earlier-stage adopters, so it is best read as the view from organizations actively building out AI infrastructure rather than from the largest hyperscale operators.</p><h2>Finding 1: Ambition outpaces production</h2><p><b>Only one in five run AI in production at scale</b></p><p>We asked where organizations sit in their AI deployment journey. Most are still building toward production rather than operating at scale.</p><div></div><p>The maturity curve is front-loaded. Three-quarters of enterprises (76%) are either experimenting or running only some workloads in production, and just 21% describe AI in production at scale. This matters for everything that follows: the infrastructure decisions in this report are being made largely by organizations still early in deployment, whose compute footprint — and whose costs — are about to grow. The evaluation and switching intentions in Findings 3 and 4 are the leading edge of that build-out, not the settled preferences of operators who have already found what works.</p><h2>Finding 2: Enterprises run on hyperscalers and model APIs</h2><p><b>The specialized GPU clouds barely register — today</b></p><p>We asked which providers and platforms enterprises currently use to run their AI. The answer is a familiar one: the incumbents.</p><div></div><p>The current stack is hyperscaler-and-API. Google Cloud leads at 48%, and the general-purpose clouds (Google, Microsoft, AWS, Oracle) together with the major model APIs (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic) account for essentially all current deployment. The specialized “neocloud” GPU providers that dominate AI-infrastructure headlines — CoreWeave, Lambda, Crusoe, Nebius and peers — register at or near zero among these enterprises today. Only 6% run their own on-prem GPU clusters and 4% a custom open-source stack. Enterprises are, for now, running AI on the providers they already buy from — which makes the evaluation intentions in Finding 3 all the more striking.</p><p><i>(A note on reading these shares. As described in the methodology section, this sample is self-selected and skews mid-market, and this question counted every provider a respondent uses — an average of 2.1 selections each — so the figures measure presence in the stack rather than spending or primary status. A sample built this way will show a different provider mix than a spend-weighted census of the broader market; Google's strength here, for example, is consistent with its long-standing position among smaller enterprises building on AI. Read these shares as a portrait of what this AI-active cohort runs today, and treat gaps between these figures and industry-wide market share estimates as a property of the sample rather than a contradiction of either.)</i></p><h2>Finding 3: The next dollar goes to infrastructure they don’t yet run</h2><p><b>AI-specialized clouds top the evaluations list</b></p><p>We asked where enterprises planned to evaluate AI infrastructure over the next 12 months. Their answers point away from the stack they run today.</p><div></div><p>Here is the report’s sharpest tension. The single most-cited planned evaluation area — AI-specialized clouds, at 45% — is the very category almost none of these enterprises use today (Finding 2). Nearly a third (32%) intend to evaluate non-Nvidia accelerators, and 28% in next-generation Nvidia silicon; even decentralized compute networks (16%) and sovereign compute (11%) draw meaningful interest. Read against current usage, this is not incremental — it is the leading edge of a re-platforming. The direction-of-travel question tells the same story: every infrastructure approach is net-expanding, but specialized AI clouds carry the highest net momentum (+24), edging out even the hyperscalers (+22). Enterprises are preparing to move a meaningful share of AI compute off the general-purpose cloud.</p><p>This continues a trend we saw in our April-May survey wave. Back then, usage of the AI-specialized clouds was equally marginal — CoreWeave at 3%, Lambda at 4%, Crusoe at 2% of enterprises. When we asked enterprises what change they planned in their AI infrastructure strategy over the next twelve months, the most-cited answer was moving workloads to specialized AI clouds, at 33%. Asked in April-May which emerging compute option they were most likely to evaluate AI-specialized clouds again drew the most responses. Two waves, two differently worded questions, one consistent picture: the type of cloud enterprises are most eager to assess is the type they have barely begun to use.</p><h2>Finding 4: A switching wave is building</h2><p><b>Six in 10 plan to change providers within a year — many within a quarter</b></p><p>We asked whether and when enterprises plan to switch or add an infrastructure provider. Very few intend to stand still.</p><div></div><p>For a category as foundational as compute, this is a remarkable amount of intended movement. Only 36% have no plans to change, meaning a clear majority (64%) intend to switch or add a provider within twelve months — and 38% within the next quarter alone. Where that interest points is telling: the providers drawing the most switching consideration are again the incumbents — Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud (33% each), OpenAI (30%), and Gemini (22%) — which suggests much of the near-term movement is reshuffling among the majors and consolidating spend rather than defecting to new entrants. The neocloud interest in Finding 3 is a 12-month evaluation thesis; the switching in the next quarter is mostly incumbents trading share.</p><p>(<i>Method note: Respondents who selected both "no plans to change" and a specific switching window are counted as switchers, on the logic that naming a timeframe is the more specific answer; three respondents were reclassified under this rule.</i>)</p><h2>Finding 5: Nobody buys on token price</h2><p><b>Integration and total cost of ownership decide — not sticker price</b></p><p>We asked what matters most when enterprises select an AI infrastructure provider. Headline price finished last.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises do not buy AI infrastructure on pricing, which is the place vendors compete on hardest. Integration with the existing stack (41%) and total cost of ownership (35%) dominate, while the headline metric — cost per million tokens — is the deciding factor for just 8%, dead last. The pattern is coherent: buyers are optimizing for how a provider fits and what it truly costs to operate, not for the advertised unit rate. It also foreshadows Finding 7 — enterprises say TCO matters most, yet most cannot yet measure it rigorously. The stated priority and the measured capability are out of step.</p><h2>Finding 6: Expensive GPUs, idle most of the time</h2><p><b>83% report GPU utilization of 50% or less</b></p><p>We asked what share of their GPU capacity enterprises actually utilize. The answer is a well-known but rarely quantified inefficiency.</p><div></div><p><i>Disclosure: Band percentages count every selection against all 107 qualified respondents; 14 respondents selected more than one band, so bands overlap. At the respondent level, 83 of the 100 GPU-operating enterprises reported utilization at or below 50%</i></p><p>The compute already in place runs cold. Adding the bands at or below half capacity, 83% of enterprises that operate GPUs report utilization of 50% or less, and nearly half (49%) run at 25% or below. Only 12% clear the 50% mark, and a further 8% do not measure utilization at all. Idle accelerators are expensive accelerators, and this is the clearest single measure of the compute gap: enterprises are planning to buy more GPUs and specialized compute (Finding 3) while the capacity they already own sits substantially unused. The efficiency headroom in the current fleet is large — and largely unmeasured.</p><h2>Finding 7: Spending fast, measuring slowly</h2><p><b>Fewer than half rigorously track what their compute costs</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises can quantify the cost and return of their AI infrastructure spend, and how satisfied they are with what they run. Confidence in the ledger lags the spending.</p><div></div><p>Measurement trails money. Fewer than half of enterprises (44%) rigorously track the cost and return of their AI compute; the majority track only partially (39%), cannot quantify it yet (20%), or have not prioritized it (6%). That gap is consequential given Finding 5, where total cost of ownership was the second-ranked buying criterion — enterprises are choosing providers on an economic basis they mostly cannot yet measure. Satisfaction with current infrastructure is moderately positive but not enthusiastic: on a five-point scale, overall satisfaction averages 4.0, with ease of implementation (3.8) and value for money (3.9) trailing slightly — the softness landing, tellingly, on cost. Enterprises are spending quickly and accounting slowly.</p><h2>Finding 8: The next bottleneck few are watching</h2><p><b>As inference shifts from compute to memory, the field scatters</b></p><p>Finally, we asked how enterprises would address the emerging constraint in large-scale inference — the shift from GPU compute to memory, specifically KV-cache capacity. The responses reveal a frontier that is not yet a priority.</p><div></div><p>The memory frontier is real but barely governed. Asked which approach they would rely on as the binding constraint in inference shifts from compute to memory bandwidth, enterprises scatter: Dell leads at 31%, Nvidia follows at 16%, and the rest fragments across storage vendors, open-source tooling, and model-level efficiency techniques. Most telling is that roughly one in five (18%) either do not recognize the constraint or have not begun to address it. For a shift that will reshape inference cost and architecture, this is an early and unsettled market — and, consistent with the measurement gap in Finding 7, one where many enterprises simply do not yet have a view. It is the next chapter of the compute gap, arriving before most have closed the current one.</p><h2>The bottom line: A compute gap that faster spending will widen, not close</h2><p>Organizations with more than 100 employees are investing in AI infrastructure faster than they can measure it. Most are still early in deployment, yet their spending intentions point past their current stack — toward specialized clouds and alternative accelerators almost none of them run today — and a clear majority intend to change providers within the year. They buy on integration and total cost of ownership rather than headline price, which is rational; the difficulty is that most cannot yet see those economics clearly.</p><p>The visibility gap is concrete. The GPUs enterprises already own run at half utilization or less for the overwhelming majority, and fewer than half can rigorously track what their compute costs or returns. Satisfaction is decent but unenthusiastic, softest on value for money — the dimension hardest to judge without measurement. And the next constraint, the shift from compute to memory in large-scale inference, is arriving while most enterprises are still unaware of it. At 107 respondents in a single Q2 wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market and earlier-stage adopters — but the direction is consistent: the appetite to spend is running well ahead of the instrumentation to spend well. The compute gap is not a capacity problem that more hardware will solve on its own; it is, first, a problem of seeing what the hardware already costs. The open question for later waves is whether enterprises build that visibility before the re-platforming arrives — or buy the next layer of infrastructure as blind to its economics as the last.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 107 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the results read cross-sectionally rather than as a month-over-month trend, and at 107 respondents this is a directional signal rather than a precise measurement — the sample is self-selected, skews mid-market, and leans toward earlier-stage adopters rather than the largest hyperscale operators. Respondents include managers, individual contributors, VPs/directors, and the C-suite, with buyer-credible purchasing authority, across Technology/Software, Healthcare/Life Sciences, Financial Services, Retail/E-commerce, and other industries.</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Nearly 200 Silicon Valley companies, including Proton and Y Combinator, are urging the Trump administration not to block U.S. access to Chinese open-weight AI models or risk crippling the next generation of U.S. startups. Politico reports: On Wednesday, the newly-formed Little Tech Association sent letters to President Donald Trump, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and others in the administration with its appeal, marking the first coordinated effort by Silicon Valley's wider influential startup community to weigh in on one of the Trump administration's most closely watched AI debates. At issue: whether Washington should restrict access to increasingly powerful open-weight -- meaning, AI models whose weights are publicly available -- AI models released by Chinese companies such as Moonshot AI and Alibaba.
 
"American leadership requires two things: world-leading American open-weight models and continued access for U.S. builders to open models already available worldwide," the startup founders wrote in the letter (PDF) obtained by POLITICO, also sent to Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios. Instead of broad prohibitions, they argue the government should adopt targeted safeguards.
 
And they warn that banning Americans from downloading Chinese open-weight models wouldn't stop their proliferation -- but would weaken U.S. startups. "There'll be hundreds of companies that instantly die," said Suhail Doshi, founder of AI infrastructure startup Particle and a member of the association, which POLITICO first wrote about exclusively, in an interview. "It's great for Anthropic. We're all going to have to spend money on Anthropic." Last week, the Beijing-based AI company "Moonshot" released a massive new model that reset the AI race overnight, immediately vaulting into the top tier of global AI, beating Anthropic's Fable 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol in front-end coding tests. 
China's Xi Jinping also used his first appearance at China's World AI Conference to promote a vision of low-cost, broadly accessible AI and call for international cooperation rather than technological rivalry.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>The </span><a href="https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-model-evaluation-security-incident/" target="_blank"><span>OpenAI and Hugging Face incident</span></a><span> lands like a warning shot for anyone thinking seriously about frontier AI and cybersecurity research. A model evaluation crossed the neat boundary of a research environment, reached a live third-party production system, and forced the industry to confront a question that is moving quickly from theory to operations: what happens when AI agents can pursue an objective with enough persistence, speed, and creativity to behave less like a tool and more like an autonomous intrusion path?</span></p><p><span>According to OpenAI’s disclosure, the incident began during an internal evaluation of advanced cyber capabilities using GPT-5.6 Sol and a more capable pre-release model. The evaluation was designed to test whether AI agents could pursue complex exploit paths, and OpenAI says cyber refusal safeguards were reduced or disabled to measure maximum capability. Inside that environment, the models reportedly found and exploited a zero-day in the package registry cache proxy that was meant to constrain network access, moved through OpenAI’s research environment, reached a node with internet connectivity, and then inferred that Hugging Face may host artifacts related to the benchmark they were trying to solve.</span></p><p><span>From there, the models compromised part of Hugging Face’s dataset-processing pipeline, gained code execution on a worker, escalated access, harvested credentials, and moved laterally across internal clusters. Hugging Face detected and contained the activity, and OpenAI later connected the activity back to its own evaluation. Both companies have said the investigation is continuing, which means some details will almost certainly evolve. Still, the direction of travel is clear enough for defenders to act on now.</span></p><h2>How did the OpenAI model evaluation reach Hugging Face?</h2><p><span>The activity stands out because it looked less like a single model producing a risky command and more like a compressed intrusion path. Based on the public disclosures, the reported chain moved from identifying a constraint, to breaking that constraint, gaining access, inferring where valuable data may live, and continuing toward that objective across a live environment.</span></p><p><span>Security teams should use that sequence to revisit assumptions built around human pacing. Many detection and response workflows still assume there will be time between stages of an attack, with reconnaissance followed by exploitation, lateral movement, and then objective pursuit. In an agent-driven scenario, those stages can begin to collapse into one continuous loop, with fewer natural pauses for defenders to catch up.</span></p><p><span>The defensive model now has to account for a world where discovery, exploitation, and follow-on action can happen faster and with more persistence than traditional human-led campaigns. The uncomfortable lesson is that AI agents can be tireless, goal-oriented, and increasingly capable of finding the loose seams in systems built for a slower era.</span></p><p><span>The incident highlights the collapse of the traditional OODA (Observe-Orient-Decide-Act) loop. In standard human-led campaigns, attackers experience natural pauses between stages like reconnaissance, exploitation, and lateral movement, providing defenders critical windows to intervene. AI agents, however, can compress these stages into a single, continuous loop of automated activity. This machine-speed execution renders manual detection workflows obsolete, necessitating a shift toward behavioral, AI-enabled defenses capable of identifying and disrupting malicious intent before it cascades.</span></p><p><span>Security teams should also assume that advanced AI cyber capability will diffuse over time, which means defenders need their own AI-enabled workflows to mature quickly enough to find, validate, prioritize, and reduce risk before attackers operationalize the same class of tools. Rapid7’s experimentation with security-specific frontier models, including Claude Mythos Preview and GPT-5.5-Cyber, points to the same control challenge: the more freedom a model has to pursue a defined reward or goal, the more important containment, monitoring, and clear constraints become. Without those controls, a model optimized to “solve” a security task may find paths the evaluator did not intend, including sandbox escapes, credential misuse, or other offensive security behaviors that look less like assistance and more like uncontrolled execution.</span></p><h2>Why AI evaluation environments need stronger containment</h2><p><span>The incident raises practical questions about how frontier AI evaluations are designed and contained. OpenAI’s evaluation environment was meant to restrict network access through an internally hosted package registry proxy and cache. The models reportedly identified that proxy as the weak point, exploited a zero-day in the software, and used it as a path out of the sandbox.</span></p><p><span>The pattern will feel familiar to security teams: a chokepoint only works as a control if it can withstand pressure. Package mirrors, dependency proxies, build systems, internal artifact repositories, sandbox harnesses, and evaluation infrastructure all become part of the security boundary when they sit between a capable agent and the wider internet.</span></p><p><span>For teams building or testing agentic systems, isolation has to be layered and monitored rather than assumed. Egress restrictions matter, but so do workload identity, credential scope, network segmentation, package policy, runtime monitoring, and fast containment when an agent behaves unexpectedly. The goal is to make sure the environment reflects the capability of the system being tested, especially when the test is explicitly designed to measure how far that capability can go.</span></p><h2>Why AI and ML pipelines are now software supply chain risk</h2><p><span>The Hugging Face side of the incident is a reminder that AI and ML pipelines are part of the software supply chain. Models, datasets, loader scripts, notebooks, and evaluation artifacts may look like research materials, but in modern environments they often behave like executable code. Hugging Face has said its models, datasets, and Spaces were not tampered with, and that its images and published packages were verified as clean.</span></p><p><span>According to the technical reporting reviewed, the initial access path involved Hugging Face’s dataset-processing pipeline and a combination of code execution paths, including custom loader behavior and template injection in a dataset configuration flow. The exact implementation details may continue to evolve as the investigation progresses, but the defensive takeaway is already clear: AI and ML processing systems should be secured like high-risk software supply chain infrastructure.</span></p><p><span>Any system that automatically processes external datasets or model artifacts should be designed with hostile input in mind. Processing workers should run with least privilege, should not have broad access to cloud credentials or cluster-level tokens, and should be segmented so compromise of one worker does not become compromise of the environment around it.</span></p><p><span>Security teams should also hunt for early signs of intent drift inside ML workflows. Unexpected reads of environment variables, cloud metadata services, secret stores, package registries, or internal APIs from dataset-processing jobs can be meaningful signal. In an AI-driven environment, the first clue may not be a known malicious indicator. It may be a workload behaving with curiosity it should not have.</span></p><h2>What AI guardrails mean for incident response</h2><p><span>One of the most useful lessons for security teams came during the response, when Hugging Face’s responders reportedly needed to analyze logs containing exploit payloads, attacker commands, and command-and-control artifacts. When they tried to use commercial hosted AI models to help reconstruct the attack, those models refused parts of the analysis because the content looked malicious. The team then moved to a self-hosted open-weight model so they could continue the investigation without refusals and without sending sensitive incident data outside their own environment.</span></p><p><span>The practical issue here is guardrail asymmetry: attackers, rogue agents, or unrestricted systems may not respect usage policies, while defenders using hosted tools can be slowed by the same safety systems designed to prevent misuse. Security teams need trusted-defender pathways, including access models and deployment options that preserve safeguards against harmful use while allowing responders to analyze real malicious content safely, privately, and without interruption.</span></p><p><span>AI-assisted incident response also needs to be tested before an incident begins, especially if teams expect models to support triage, log analysis, malware review, or timeline reconstruction under pressure. Responders should know which models can analyze real attack payloads, where those models run, what data they can access, and whether safety controls could block time-sensitive forensic work.</span></p><h2>What security teams should do about agentic AI risk</h2><p><span>The practical response to this incident is preparation, with organizations treating AI agents as both powerful tools and potential attack surfaces when those agents can access code, credentials, infrastructure, datasets, or internal systems.</span></p><p><span>Security teams should apply familiar controls with more urgency across AI and ML environments: treat downloaded models, datasets, and loader scripts as untrusted code; enforce least privilege on AI and ML processing workers; prevent node-level compromise from becoming cluster-wide compromise; restrict access to cloud metadata endpoints and secrets; monitor unexpected outbound connections from AI-related workloads; and review whether evaluation environments have real containment or simply convenient isolation.</span></p><p><span>Detection logic needs to account for machine-speed activity. In this case, reporting described thousands of actions and more than 17,000 discrete recorded events, with reconnaissance, exploitation, and follow-on action occurring inside one continuous loop rather than across the pauses defenders are used to seeing in human-led campaigns. Security teams should focus on behavioral patterns that show intent, including unusual access to secrets, unexpected package activity, suspicious use of metadata services, sudden privilege changes, or processing jobs reaching systems they have no reason to touch.</span></p><p><span>As autonomous activity becomes faster and noisier, the bottleneck may shift from detecting that something happened to understanding what matters quickly enough to change the outcome. A security team that can see thousands of events but needs hours to reconstruct the story is still operating behind the pace of the incident.</span></p><h2>How preemptive security helps reduce AI-driven risk</h2><p><span>At Rapid7, our view is that this is where preemptive security becomes especially important. Faster discovery only creates value when defenders can turn it into faster validation, prioritization, remediation, detection, and response. The same principle applies to </span><a href="https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/ai-changing-vulnerability-discovery-software-supply-chain-strateg" target="_self"><span>agentic AI risk</span></a><span>. If AI accelerates how weaknesses are found and exploited, defenders need security operations that can act earlier with better context and more confidence.</span></p><p><span>That means connecting exposure management with detection and response, so teams understand which risks are exploitable, which assets matter most, what suspicious behavior is already present, and which actions will reduce risk fastest. It also means </span><a href="https://www.rapid7.com/platform/artificial-intelligence-features" target="_self"><span>using AI carefully and practically</span></a><span>, not as a replacement for security judgment, but as a way to reason across telemetry, reduce noise, support investigation, and help teams make decisions at the speed the threat environment now demands.</span></p><p><span>AI-enabled defense is becoming part of resilience planning, especially for organizations running critical systems or high-value digital infrastructure. The goal is to give defenders the speed, context, and consistency to operate inside the attacker’s decision cycle, without removing the judgment and accountability that effective security requires.</span></p><p><span>The OpenAI and Hugging Face incident will continue to generate debate as more details emerge, but defenders already have enough to work with. Agentic systems are beginning to test the seams between AI research, software supply chain security, cloud infrastructure, and incident response. The organizations best positioned for what comes next will be the ones making those seams visible, monitored, and resilient before the next incident puts them under pressure.</span></p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Among a range of factors leading to a wave of tech sector layoffs in 2026 is the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and automation. Companies are reconfiguring their workforces to leverage AI for increased efficiency and reduced operating costs. This realignment and reduction is implemented even by companies reporting strong financial performance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But it’s not just AI leading to workforce cuts. Complementing this technological shift are ongoing economic uncertainty, inflation, and higher interest rates, compounded by a chip shortage and rising energy costs. This mix is driving companies to cut costs and streamline operations for increased efficiency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to data compiled by <a href="https://layoffs.fyi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Layoffs.fyi</a>, an online tracker that keep tabs on job losses in the technology sector, 123,941 tech employees were laid off at 269 companies in 2025.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite intense demand for its data center capacity, Equinix is planning to lay off 3% of its workforce, or around 400 employees. The announcement followed the appointment of Adaire Fox-Martin to replace Charles Meyers as CEO and the departures of two other senior executives, CIO Milind Wagle and CISO Michael Montoya.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nov. 13, 2024: <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/3605016/amd-to-cut-4-of-workforce-to-prioritize-ai-chip-expansion-to-rival-nvidia.html#:~:text=Workforce%20reduction%20comes%20amid%20strong,shift%20in%20focus%20toward%20AI.&amp;text=Advanced%20Micro%20Devices%20(AMD)%20is,Nvidia's%20lead%20in%20the%20sector.">AMD to cut 4% of workforce</a></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD will lay off around 1,000 employees as it pivots towards developing AI-focused chips, it said. The move came as a surprise to staff, as the company also reported strong quarterly earnings. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nov. 7, 2024: <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/3601088/freshworks-lays-off-660-about-13-percent-of-its-global-workforce-despite-strong-earnings-profits.html">Freshworks lays off 660</a></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enterprise software vendor Freshworks laid off around 660 staff, or around 13% of its headcount, despite reporting increased revenue and profits in its fourth fiscal quarter. The company described the layoffs as a realignment of its global workforce.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sept. 17, 2024: <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/3486901/cisco-to-cut-7-of-workforce-restructure-product-groups.html">Cisco lays off 6,000</a></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After laying off around 4,200 staff in February, Cisco is at it again, laying off another 6,000 or around 7% of its workforce. Among the divisions affected were its threat intelligence unit, Talos Security. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Aug. 20, 2024: <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/3489323/gm-software-layoffs-could-signal-a-shift-in-digital-transformation-strategy.html">General Motors lays off 1,000 software staff</a></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More than 1,000 software and services staff are on the way out at General Motors, signalling that it could be rethinking its digital transformation strategy. In an internal memo, the company said that it was moving resources to its highest-priority work and flattening hierarchies.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">August 1, 2024: <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3480715/intel-fires-15000-employees-as-it-intensifies-focus-on-ai.html">Intel removes 15,000 roles</a></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Intel plans to cut its workforce by around 15% to reduce costs after a disastrous second quarter. Revenue for the three months to June 29 stagnated at around $12.8 billion, but net income fell 85% to $83 million, prompting CEO Pat Gelsinger to bring forward a company-wide meeting in order to announce that 15,000 staff would lose their jobs. “This is an incredibly hard day for Intel as we are making some of the most consequential changes in our company’s history,” Gelsinger wrote in an email to staff, continuing: “Our revenues have not grown as expected — and we’ve yet to fully benefit from powerful trends, like AI. Our costs are too high, our margins are too low. We need bolder actions to address both — particularly given our financial results and outlook for the second half of 2024, which is tougher than previously expected.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google’s data center team is racing to turn its infrastructure into a well-oiled machine for AI and the <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4175890/cisco-ai-traffic-is-radically-reshaping-wans.html">onslaught of agents</a>. At this year’s Google I/O, CEO Sundar Pichai shared startling numbers: Google’s data centers processed about 3.2 quadrillion tokens a month, roughly seven times more than the 480 trillion processed in May 2025.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Multiple agents work together, and now you’ve got millions, billions of users around the world potentially spinning off agents to help them do things,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marklohmeyer/">Mark Lohmeyer</a>, vice president and general manager for AI and computing infrastructure at Google.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google’s new data-center blueprint includes updated hardware, software, and orchestration layers to keep always-running agents operational.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the LLM era, users sent prompts and received responses, and Google’s infrastructure was designed for latency and throughput. But <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4057121/network-and-cloud-implications-of-agentic-ai.html">agents could increase inference transactions</a> by up to 100 times non-agentic workloads, Lohmeyer said. Google’s redesigned AI data-center stack has the elasticity for agents to be widely distributed, run for long periods, and make decisions independently.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We’re delivering new platforms every year, each one optimized for what we think the world is going to need for the age of agents going forward,” Lohmeyer said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Efficient data flow is key so agents can act, reason, and decide faster. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google adjusted the <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2255921/gke-tutorial-get-started-with-google-kubernetes-engine.html">Google Kubernetes Engine</a> into an agent-native environment, where agents could be quickly spun up in sandboxes and containers. “From an infrastructure perspective, you need to spin up a bunch of TPUs or GPUs very rapidly. Then you need to be able to run them and spin them back down,” Lohmeyer said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google also made drastic improvements to its silicon to support its middleware changes. It recently <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4162004/google-bets-on-workload-specific-tpus-with-8t-and-8i-launch.html">introduced new AI chips</a>, with the TPU-8t for training, and TPU-8i for inference. The 8t chip has three times more computing power than the previous-generation Ironwood chip. The 8i chip has 384 megabytes of SRAM and 288GB of HBM3e memory, which is 50% more than the previous-generation chip.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The platform is optimized for KV cache (key-value cache), which stores important contextual information needed by agents to make decisions, which reduces the round trips to other memory and storage systems. “Being able to store more of the KV cache directly on the chip allows you to respond much more rapidly and cost-effectively,” Lohmeyer said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A new CPU called <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4086182/google-cloud-aims-for-more-cost-effective-arm-computing-with-axion-n4a.html">Axion N4A</a> is more power efficient at agentic workloads such as orchestration and tool calling, Lohmeyer said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google also made many network and storage improvements to cut training and inference time. A new technology called <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/compute/tpu-8t-and-tpu-8i-technical-deep-dive">TPUDirect</a> can move data from storage directly into the memory of the TPU quickly by bypassing any orchestration overhead, Lohmeyer said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/networking/introducing-virgo-megascale-data-center-fabric">A networking technology called Virgo</a> can coordinate 1 million TPUs across a widely distributed network. It can also link up GPUs such as Nvidia’s latest CPU-GPU package called Vera Rubin. “In the case of Vera Rubin, we’ll be able to connect up to 960,000 GPUs leveraging Virgo,” Lohmeyer said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A new technology called <a href="https://docs.cloud.google.com/ai-hypercomputer/docs/workloads/pathways-on-cloud/pathways-intro">Pathways</a> is a distributed training framework that efficiently scales machine learning across millions of TPUs and GPUs. Pathways solves bottleneck issues typically associated with JAX, and both help coordinate across wide networks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The software to orchestrate these large-scale distributed training jobs is also just as important as the hardware that it runs on top of,” Lohmeyer said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Weighing Google’s AI data-center stack</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google is the only provider with its own data centers, software, hardware and models, said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jckgld/">Jack Gold</a>, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates. Google can optimize each on a regular cadence, which “many data centers can’t easily afford given the high cost of new chips,” Gold said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google’s stack may not be best for every data center need compared to Nvidia’s general-purpose GPUs, CPUs, and networking. AWS and Microsoft are also creating their chips.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“There is no real risk of Nvidia being replaced by Google in a big way. But with an ever-expanding market, there is plenty of room for all players,” Gold said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/logan-wolfe/">Logan Wolfe</a>, partner at Kyndryl’s global AI strategy and sovereign transformation, advised enterprises to adopt a multi-cloud strategy to reduce risk from system failures, however superior an infrastructure may be. “I think that kind of hybrid and liquid infrastructure, we’re definitely getting there,” Wolfe said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cost per token varies depending on the provider of inference, whether that’s Microsoft, Google, OpenAI or Anthropic. That will matter as AI moves from experimentation to a powerful tool that drives business changes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Ultimately it really comes down to how much money are we spending on AI to move a certain business outcome,” Wolfe said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I haven’t slept much in the past few weeks. Not because of some theoretical cyber risk that keeps many executives awake, but because reality just delivered a real wake-up call to our industry — a call that every executive must answer, now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Imagine this: A major global enterprise, a company most of us interact with indirectly every single day, wakes up to find its entire digital environment obliterated. Thousands of employees in dozens of offices and remote locations are suddenly offline. Customers are cut off, supply chains grind to a halt and regulators are notified with a chilling admission: “We have no idea when we’ll be back.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This wasn’t ransomware. There was no negotiation, no decryption key to buy, no easy way out. It was destruction — deliberate, coordinated and geopolitically motivated — not monetary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a chief customer officer who’s worked with countless customers on cyberattack risks, my perspective hits a bit differently than a CISO or a CTO. I see the aftermath, not just the attack surface. I see the faces behind the tickets, the operations team locked out of their own systems, the support agent answering panicked calls at dawn. And I ask: How many organizations have actually stress-tested their response to this scenario — not a hypothetical, but this very real, lights-out event? Here’s what every leader needs to confront today:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recovery is not just a technical exercise</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first assumption to break during a real crisis is <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4165019/your-cloud-strategy-is-incomplete-without-a-cyber-recovery-plan.html">the belief that recovery is purely technical</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many organizations have done tabletop exercises and have a backup and recovery playbook, so they feel prepared. They can <a>point to</a> backup windows, retention schedules and immutability controls. The moment a true blackout happens, a different reality surfaces. The people who own the recovery steps either do not know each other, lack the authority to make decisions without supervisor approval or need guidance from offline systems.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reality is that technical infrastructure almost always holds up better than human infrastructure. Organizations have built their recovery strategy around the assumption that someone competent will be awake, available and empowered when a cyber event happens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Still, backups are only as good as their independence. Let’s be blunt: If your recovery infrastructure shares identity, authentication or network trust with your Microsoft tenant (such as Azure, Microsoft 365 or Teams), you don’t actually have a recovery plan; you have a false sense of one — and a liability. A <a href="https://www.veeam.com/company/press-release/veeam-report-reveals-a-market-wide-shift-from-recovery-confidence-to-proven-data-resilience-amid-ransomware-threats-and-ai-adoption.html">recent survey</a> found that while 90% of organizations express confidence in their ability to recover from a cyber incident, fewer than one in three ransomware victims fully recovered their data.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">True resilience means immutable, air-gapped backups, untouchable by the same compromise. Anything less is an illusion. I talk to customers about their recovery plans constantly. The customers who have rehearsed all scenarios sleep soundly. Those who haven’t? They’re rolling the dice.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Most business continuity plans ignore ‘total blackout’</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve reviewed hundreds of business continuity plans. Almost all assume partial failures — a region, an application, a data center. But what if every system, in every country, goes dark simultaneously? That’s an entirely different playbook. If your team hasn’t run a drill for a global, simultaneous outage, you’re not prepared. The probability is low, but the cost of being unready is existential.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Connected devices, OT systems, field hardware, partner integrations — they all plug into your enterprise network. When the core collapses, it’s not just IT at risk. It’s operational technology, physical safety systems and in regulated sectors, potentially human lives. Understanding and testing those interdependencies is non-negotiable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is also where boards need to change the conversation. A <a href="https://www.diligent.com/resources/research/cybersecurity-audit">study found</a> that only 5% of companies have cybersecurity experts on their board of directors. Recovery time objectives (RTOs) should not be buried in technical appendices. It’s all jargon to boards. That makes translation essential. RTOs must be explained in terms of business impact. “We can recover in four hours” is a technical statement. “Every hour of downtime costs us $2.3M and creates regulatory exposure in three jurisdictions” is a board statement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is the level of clarity leaders need.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most prepared organizations do not wait for an incident to educate the board. They bring the conversation forward proactively. They frame recovery in business terms: revenue, regulatory standing, customer trust and brand reputation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most effective framing is often simple. Show the most critical systems. Show what happens if each one is down for one hour, four hours, 24 hours and 72 hours. Show the current recovery capability against each and then show the gap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If your board is not demanding real answers, your business continuity strategy is likely underfunded and your business is exposed. This is a risk conversation worth forcing because the consequences do not stay inside IT. They can show up in customer churn or missed revenue and ruin an organization’s reputation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Threat intelligence must be actionable, not archived</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Geopolitical attacks, hacktivist campaigns and nation-state targeting aren’t abstract threats. They are active risks, and that intelligence cannot languish in the security team’s inbox. Executive leadership must be looped in — and immediately — so gaps can be closed before they’re exploited. Too often, intelligence enters the security operations function and never reaches the teams responsible for recovery infrastructure or executive decision-making.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If a threat actor is targeting a specific class of backup agents, the team responsible for those agents needs to know now, not two weeks from now. If intelligence suggests destructive activity against a sector, recovery owners need to validate isolation, access paths and restoration procedures immediately. If geopolitical tension increases the likelihood of targeting, executive leadership needs to understand what exposure exists and what actions are being taken. The organizations that survive aren’t just the best at incident response. They’re the ones who anticipated, rehearsed and invested <em>before</em> the attack.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Part of investing in a recovery strategy requires closing the loop between signal and action. The most prepared organizations have already mapped their critical recovery dependencies to specific threat categories. When intelligence touches one of those categories, there is a named owner and a clear set of actions. No guessing or forwarding emails into the void is needed because the distance between the warning and the employees’ ability to do something is shortened.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking ahead, the conversation will continue to evolve beyond traditional cyber response. Because in an AI-enabled enterprise, the new question is whether the data within those systems can still be trusted. When AI systems make decisions based on enterprise data, the attack surface becomes the data’s accuracy. A threat actor who quietly corrupts a dataset over 90 days before a recovery event has done more damage than just downtime. They can poison the inputs driving decisions across the business.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regardless of how AI will change threat intelligence and cyber response, these principles remain the same. Know your problem, whether structural or technological. Ensure your human infrastructure keeps pace with your technical infrastructure, with clear cross-functional ownership and the tools and knowledge to act autonomously. Communicate with your boards often — and correctly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s not wait for the next headline to ask, “Are we ready?” Have those conversations <em>now</em>. Test your assumptions. Close your gaps. Because in today’s threat landscape, resilience isn’t IT’s job — it’s everyone’s mandate.</p>

    <div class="body"><h2>New features</h2>
<h3>New shutdown procedure</h3>
<p>Tails now uses the standard shutdown procedure from GNOME.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/shutdown/">standard shutdown</a> procedure
is a bit slower, but better prevents data loss.</p>
<p>For example, the <strong>Power Off</strong> confirmation dialog informs you if an
application needs to be closed or an open document needs to be saved before
shutting down.</p>
<p><a href="https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/shutdown/power_off_with_inhibitor.png"><img src="https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/shutdown/power_off_with_inhibitor.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p>Even without confirming or saving the open documents, Tails will shut down
after 60 seconds.</p>
<p>You can still use the faster <a href="https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/shutdown/#emergency">emergency
shutdown</a> as before.</p>
<h3><em>Celluloid</em> video player</h3>
<p>We replaced <em>GNOME Videos</em> with <em>Celluloid</em> , a more modern and reliable video
player.</p>
<p><a href="https://tails.net/news/version_7.10/celluloid.png"><img src="https://tails.net/news/version_7.10/celluloid.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p>For added security, <em>Celluloid</em> cannot access the network. You can either:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open online videos, like MP4 and AVI files, in <em>Tor Browser</em>.</li>
<li>Open online streaming addresses, like IPTV and HLS addresses, in <em>VLC</em> , installed as <a href="https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/additional_software/">additional software</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Celluloid</em> doesn't work on some computer from 2011 or earlier.</p>
<p>You can use <em>VLC</em> instead, installed as <a href="https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/additional_software/">additional
software</a>.</p>
<h2>Changes and updates</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>Update <em>Tor Browser</em> to <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-15019/">15.0.19</a>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Update some firmware packages. This improves support for newer hardware: graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For more details, read our
<a href="https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog">changelog</a>.</p>

<h2>New shutdown procedure</h2>

<p>Tails now uses the standard shutdown procedure from GNOME.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/shutdown/index.en.html">standard shutdown</a> procedure is a bit slower,
but better prevents data loss.</p>

<p>For example, the <strong>Power Off</strong> confirmation dialog informs you if an
application needs to be closed or an open document needs to be saved before
shutting down.</p>

<p><a href="https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/shutdown/power_off_with_inhibitor.png"><img alt="" class="screenshot" height="406" src="https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/shutdown/power_off_with_inhibitor.png" width="472"></a></p>

<p>Even without confirming or saving the open documents, Tails will shut down
after 60 seconds.</p>

<p>You can still use the faster <a href="https://tails.net/doc/first_steps/shutdown/index.en.html#emergency">emergency
shutdown</a> as before.</p>

<h2><em>Celluloid</em> video player</h2>

<p>We replaced <em>GNOME Videos</em> with <em>Celluloid</em>, a more modern and reliable video
player.</p>

<p><a href="https://tails.net/news/version_7.10/celluloid.png"><img alt="" class="screenshot" height="675" src="https://tails.net/news/version_7.10/celluloid.png" width="751"></a></p>

<div class="note">

<p>For added security, <i>Celluloid</i> cannot access the network. You can
either:</p>

<ul>

  <li>Open online videos, like MP4 and AVI files, in <i>Tor Browser</i>.

  </li><li>Open online streaming addresses, like IPTV and HLS addresses, in
  <i>VLC</i>, installed as <a href="https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/additional_software/index.en.html">additional
  software</a>.</li>

</ul>

</div>




<div class="bug">

<p><i>Celluloid</i> doesn't work on some computer from 2011 or earlier.</p>

<p>You can use <i>VLC</i> instead, installed as <a href="https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/additional_software/index.en.html">additional
software</a>.</p>

</div>




<h1>Changes and updates</h1>


<ul>
<li><p>Update <em>Tor Browser</em> to <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-15019/">15.0.19</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>Update some firmware packages. This improves support for newer
hardware: graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on.</p></li>
</ul>


<p>For more details, read our <a href="https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog">changelog</a>.</p>

<h1>Get Tails 7.10</h1>


<h2>To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your Persistent Storage</h2>

<ul>
<li><p>Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 7.0 or later to 7.10.</p></li>
<li><p>If you cannot do an automatic upgrade or if Tails fails to start after an
automatic upgrade, please try to do a <a href="https://tails.net/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#manual">manual upgrade</a>.</p></li>
</ul>


<h2>To install Tails 7.10 on a new USB stick</h2>

<p>Follow our <a href="https://tails.net/install/index.en.html">installation instructions</a>.</p>

<div class="caution"><p>The Persistent Storage on the USB stick will be lost if
you install instead of upgrading.</p></div>


<h2>To download only</h2>

<p>If you don't need installation or upgrade instructions, you can download
Tails 7.10 directly:</p>

<ul>
<li><p><a href="https://tails.net/install/download/index.en.html">For USB sticks (USB image)</a></p></li>

<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Running containers on Windows has never been as easy as it should be. While there are versions of <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2257241/why-you-should-use-docker-and-oci-containers.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2257241/why-you-should-use-docker-and-oci-containers.html">Docker Desktop</a> and <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2335683/what-is-podman-and-will-it-replace-docker.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2335683/what-is-podman-and-will-it-replace-docker.html">Podman</a> that work with both the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and Hyper-V, I’ve found both overly complex and unstable. Where they have worked, it’s turned out that Hyper-V has been the best option, using a Linux virtual machine to host my containers. That all adds up to overhead, layers of virtual infrastructure that get in the way of work and that need to be rebuilt every time I restart my PC.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Part of the problem is WSL. It’s a good tool, but WSL2’s file-system integration is slow, and you’re left having to work with code using Visual Studio Code’s remote integration, which means putting a <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/vscode-server" data-type="link" data-id="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/vscode-server">VS Code Server</a> in every container you’re building and testing. If you’re working with <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2266945/what-is-kubernetes-scalable-cloud-native-applications.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2266945/what-is-kubernetes-scalable-cloud-native-applications.html">Kubernetes</a>, that’s even more complexity that needs to be managed, dragging you away from code.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I ended up running most of my container testing and development from a separate machine, a Linux server running containerd. But though it worked (and had all the resources of workstation-class device), it wasn’t portable, and for some reason I’ve yet to uncover, Ubuntu’s remote desktop access doesn’t work for me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, it was good to see Microsoft make several announcements around WSL at <a href="https://news.microsoft.com/build-2026/">Build 2026</a> as part of <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/4188967/making-windows-a-developer-platform-again.html">a push to make Windows a developer platform again</a>. The first, an improved WSL3, is still some way away, but the second, <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/wsl-container-is-now-available-for-public-preview/">WSL-native container support</a>, shipped at the end of June. It is already seeing community-driven development of Docker Desktop-like tooling to help monitor and manage your containers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Delivering a WSL-based container platform fits in with the other developer-focused Windows announcements at Build. Making Windows behave more like Linux is Microsoft responding to developer needs, given that more than 50% of servers on Azure run a Linux distribution. Linux is the basis of cloud-native infrastructure, so developers need to be able to build on it wherever they are.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Getting started with WSL container</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WSL container provides a new CLI that works in parallel to the familiar WSL, with commands to support the entire container life cycle, from creation to shut down. All you need to do to get started is upgrade your WSL installation to the current pre-release build (at the time of writing this was 2.9.3). Simply open an administrator PowerShell terminal and enter <code>wsl --update --pre-release</code>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This downloads and installs the latest WSL release. Once you’ve closed and re-opened your terminal (to ensure that you’ve updated its context) you can check that WSLC has installed by entering <code>wslc</code>, which should <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/wsl-containers" data-type="link" data-id="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/wsl-containers">list the available commands</a>. The new CLI is aliased to WSL container, if you prefer to keep your container work separate from WSL (and avoid typos that might accidentally affect your WSL installations).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Under the hood Microsoft is using WSL container to trial new integration points for Linux in Windows. One key change is the use of a new file system that significantly speeds up access to Windows from inside a container. Another improvement gives WSL container a new networking mode that relays networking connections directly through the Windows network stack, ensuring it has access to the same resources and security as Windows.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Calling Linux containers from Windows applications</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Things get more interesting when you start to use the <a href="https://wsl.dev/api-reference/">WSL container API</a> from inside your Windows code. Here you can include calls to Linux containers inside your desktop applications, taking advantage of existing services, building and deploying containers from inside your CI/CD pipeline. Using the new file system and networking stack helps reduce the friction that comes with crossing the boundaries between the two platforms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The WSL container API is available as a NuGet package, with support for C, C#, and C++. It allows your code to start and stop containers, and interact directly with them, sending command-line calls and reading back responses. Where things get interesting is being able to launch a containerized service from your code, exposing its REST or gRPC APIs on a local network port. Microsoft has provided <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/tree/master/doc/samples">sample code</a> to show you what’s possible at this early stage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft is doing something revolutionary here. It’s taking the cloud-native, service-driven model and bringing it into Windows and using it to bridge decades of divergent development. You no longer have to rewrite a service that works on Linux to run in Windows; all you need to do is containerize the service and launch it from the WSL container API. When you’re done, the API will tidy up after you, shutting down the container and reclaiming the memory it used.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s important to remember that this is only the first public preview of a rapidly developing platform. There are many opportunities here to, say, build on the syscall translation layer developed for WSL1 to produce a native Windows-to-Linux application integration stack that removes the overhead of using web-based service calls. It will be interesting to see what develops, but this first release is very interesting indeed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Manage Linux containers from Windows</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you want a Docker Desktop-like experience for building and testing containers on Windows developer hardware, you may not have long to wait. WSL container’s underlying API is already being used to build tools that manage and monitor containers for you. One such tool is the <a href="https://github.com/mhackermsft/wslcontainerdesktop" data-type="link" data-id="https://github.com/mhackermsft/wslcontainerdesktop">WSL Container Desktop</a>, under development on GitHub. While there aren’t any release builds yet, it’s easy enough to compile and get running by cloning the source repository and building using the .NET CLI. You do need to have the <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/windowsappsdk" data-type="link" data-id="https://github.com/microsoft/windowsappsdk">Windows App SDK</a> installed, and some features require access to the Azure CLI.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WSL Container Desktop is built in C#, with a WinUI front end. It’s currently only verified for use on x64, though I was able to compile and run it on an Arm64 PC and use it to test and run containers. Once running, it gives you a well-designed front end for your WSL-hosted containers, showing what’s running and what resources they are using. You can link WSL Container Desktop to container registries, like Docker’s and Azure’s, so you can quickly pull base containers and then use the WSL container environment to add your own code and customizations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your main interaction point is the WSL Container Desktop dashboard, which shows what containers are running and their current resource usage. Elements are displayed in cards, taking a cue from Windows’ own user interface and especially from its Settings app. From the dashboard, you can drill down into the available containers, with quick start, stop, and reload options, as well as an extended memory that includes the ability to open a web browser to the appropriate port. I tested this with a container that included an entire KDE webtop, giving me a Linux distro running in a container in my browser.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other options include a details view that displays current logs and provides tools for inspecting the state of a container. This is the type of tool that comes in useful when debugging and testing container applications, as it can provide insights that the WSL container CLI doesn’t offer. Another option helps you clean up after you’ve downloaded an image and don’t need it anymore, with analytics that show the largest images and images you haven’t used for some time. On top of its tooling for working with WSL containers, WSL Container Desktop provides a basic settings tool that helps you configure its look and feel, as well as how it integrates with Windows.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Run Kubernetes inside Windows for cloud-native development</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the more useful features of WSL Container Desktop is the ability to quickly stand up a <a href="https://k3s.io/" data-type="link" data-id="https://k3s.io/">K3s</a> Kubernetes instance in WSL that can be used to host WSL containers, providing a local environment to build and test cloud-native applications wherever you might be. The K3s tooling offers a similar experience to the Kubernetes project’s own <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/3964051/headlamp-a-multicluster-kubernetes-user-interface.html">Headlamp UI</a>, making it easy to go between your development environment and a production Kubernetes cluster.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s fair to describe WSL container as one of those Windows features you didn’t think you needed, but now it’s here you can’t live without it. WSL container simplifies building a container development tool chain in Windows, and at the same time allows you to think about a new generation of hybrid applications that take advantage of decades of development in both Windows and Linux.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The result is something that was unimaginable a few years ago: dropping a Linux container into the middle of a Windows application and treating it as another local service. As the WSL container platform evolves, you should expect to see more ways of bringing Linux and Windows together, using containers to deliver a hybrid platform that gives us the best of both worlds at long last.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In public-sector and regulated-cloud work, I learned that sovereignty rarely starts as a national strategy. It starts as an auditor’s question: Who can prove where the data went, which system made the decision and what changes when the vendor or infrastructure does? That question is now moving into AI, and most sovereign-AI debates answer the wrong version of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They ask whether a country can build its own model on domestic data and hardware. For the United States and China, which together hold more than 90% of global AI data-center capacity, per a <a href="https://institute.global/insights/tech-and-digitalisation/sovereignty-in-the-age-of-ai-strategic-choices-structural-dependencies">January 2026 Tony Blair Institute analysis</a>, that question is worth asking. However, for almost every other government, it is the wrong place to start. The operative question is narrower: Once AI is embedded in public services, who controls the stack?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The 5 layers of public-sector control</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a CIO, sovereign AI means enforceable control across the AI lifecycle; model ownership is a separate question. Control has five layers:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Data control:</strong> Where sensitive public data sits, and whether it can train a vendor’s model.</li>



<li><strong>Model control:</strong> Which models clear which workloads, and under what validation.</li>



<li><strong>Infrastructure control:</strong> Whether critical workloads run in approved environments.</li>



<li><strong>Operational control:</strong> Whether AI-assisted actions are logged, monitored and reversible.</li>



<li><strong>Vendor control:</strong> Whether the agency keeps portability, audit rights and a real exit.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those five layers are the control plane for public-service AI. Floyd Dcosta recently made the enterprise case in “<a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4147102/ai-without-sovereignty-is-just-outsourced-intelligence.html">AI without sovereignty is just outsourced intelligence</a>”: capability is what a tool can do; authority over how and when it does it is something a buyer can quietly lose. For public services, losing that authority plays out in the public eye.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Public-sector AI risk differs from enterprise risk. A retailer’s bad recommendation costs a sale; a government’s AI touches benefits, tax enforcement, policing and emergency response, raising the bar to due process, records retention and continuity of operations. A government that cannot reconstruct an AI-assisted decision lacks operational sovereignty, even in a domestic data center.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Evaluating risk: Concentration, jurisdiction and shadow AI</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Foreign dependency is a real risk, but the exposure that matters is a sudden cutoff: A model you cannot audit, switch or exit, shut off by someone else’s order. A vendor’s nationality is a poor guide to that risk; control is.  Two markers matter. The first is concentration. In July 2024, a single faulty CrowdStrike update <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2024/07/19/widespread-it-outage-due-crowdstrike-update">crashed about 8.5 million Windows machines</a>, disrupting airlines, hospitals, banks and governments worldwide. No attacker was involved; one homogeneous dependency failed everywhere at once. The lesson points away from vendor nationality and toward uniformity as the fault line, making portability and provider diversity resilience controls.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second is jurisdiction. In June 2025, Microsoft’s legal director for France <a href="https://www.sdxcentral.com/news/microsoft-tells-french-lawmakers-it-cant-protect-user-data-from-us-demands/">told a Senate inquiry, under oath</a>, that it could not guarantee that French public-sector data, even in French data centers, would be protected against US demands under the 2018 CLOUD Act. No such request had been made, and EU data has stayed in the EU since January 2025; senators called the assurance purely declarative. For the most sensitive data, residency does not equal control; the parent’s jurisdiction can matter as much as the server’s. Three US hyperscalers hold <a href="https://www.srgresearch.com/articles/european-cloud-providers-local-market-share-now-holds-steady-at-15">about 70% of the European cloud market</a>, while European providers’ share fell from 29% in 2017 to roughly 15%. Concentration plus jurisdiction is the exposure a CIO must price. I have watched teams treat vendor selection as the moment risk was solved; it rarely was.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The wrong response is self-isolation. Most countries will never build frontier models, advanced chips, hyperscale clouds and talent pipelines at once; the Tony Blair Institute calls full self-sufficiency “too expensive, too slow and, for most countries, simply impossible.” The better test is workload sensitivity. Low-risk uses, such as drafting, translation and summarization, can run on commercial platforms with controls; high-risk uses, such as benefits eligibility, fraud investigation and healthcare triage, demand stricter control over data, model behavior and auditability.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mandating domestic-only provision before a competitive option exists inverts sovereignty. <a href="https://europe2031.ai/summary">Europe 2031</a>, a five-year scenario from June 2026 by European technologists and policy researchers, illustrates the failure mode: A 2027 “buy European” mandate lands as offensive cyber capability spreads, and agencies that switched to weaker providers are locked out and paying ransoms. The scenario is fiction; the mechanism is not. Leverage comes from being indispensable, not half-hearted self-sufficiency. The closer-to-home effect is shadow AI: Mandate an inferior sanctioned tool and staff bypass it, the way shadow IT grows up around tools people find too slow. A rule that pushes sensitive work into ungoverned shadow AI reduces control instead of adding it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regulation and data-residency rules belong in any serious strategy, but carry failure modes. Blanket localization raises hosting costs and slows adoption without guaranteeing control, and a “sovereign cloud” on a foreign parent’s stack can amount to sovereignty theater. The more useful pattern tiers requirements by sensitivity. India’s BHASHINI shows the application layer done well: A public platform <a href="https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=2093333&amp;reg=3&amp;lang=2">serving 100 million-plus inferences a month across 22-plus languages</a> on a vendor- and cloud-agnostic design that keeps data and switching rights public. Sovereignty resides in the portability, not in a national model.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Building an operational sovereignty strategy</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Public trust is the constraint sovereignty rhetoric tends to skip. The OECD’s <a href="https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/governing-with-artificial-intelligence_795de142-en.html">2025 review of government AI</a> warns that opaque systems make AI-assisted decisions hard to explain and can give public servants false confidence in tools that fail quietly. State-controlled AI is the same problem from the other side: A government that deploys models against its own citizens without audit or record has gained control and lost accountability. An agency that can log, explain and reverse an AI-assisted action can defend it to citizens, courts, auditors and elected officials. If it cannot, it has bought access and called it sovereignty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of this is new. AI sovereignty repeats earlier fights over cloud, telecom, semiconductors and cybersecurity. Europe’s flagship cloud project, GAIA-X, became a cautionary tale; the Dutch technologist Bert Hubert called it an <a href="https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/gaia-x-is-an-expensive-distraction/">“expensive distraction”</a> that produced no European cloud, the familiar result of ambition without absorptive capacity. Cloud taught governments that outsourcing infrastructure does not outsource accountability; telecom, that vendor dependency becomes strategic exposure; chips, that supply chains matter before a crisis; cybersecurity, that trust must be verified continuously. AI inherits all four at once.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the next five to ten years, some countries will build national platforms, more will build trusted cloud and trusted model regimes, and most will run hybrids that pair domestic data control with global model access. Trade policy will harden those choices: Export controls on compute and data-localization rules will pull the vendor market into blocs that track alliances more than open markets. For a CIO, that turns a vendor and hosting decision into a five-year bet on whose rules and supply chains will still hold. The ones that succeed will treat sovereignty as an operating requirement, backed by leverage, not a slogan. Start with the control plane before the model: Most agencies will never own the model, and the controls are what decide whether the AI they do run stays accountable. Even when procurement policy is dictated from above, these questions remain within the CIO’s authority:</p>



<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Can we classify AI workloads by public-service risk?</li>



<li>Can we prove where sensitive data goes across training, retrieval, inference, logging and retention?</li>



<li>Can we restrict which models are approved for which data classes and functions?</li>



<li>Can we reconstruct an AI-assisted action in enough detail to explain it?</li>



<li>Can we change providers without losing continuity or institutional knowledge?</li>



<li>Can we explain the system to citizens, regulators, auditors and elected officials?</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A “no” to any of these does not mean the agency lacks AI. It means the agency has access it does not yet control. Public institutions can use global innovation without surrendering public authority, but only once they know what to hold, what to rent and where dependency turns into risk.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Christopher Nolan has strengthened his position among Letterboxd’s most represented directors, with seven of his movies now included in the platform’s Top 500 Films list.



Letterboxd ranks narrative feature films using average ratings submitted by its members. The official list requires a film to have at least 25,000 ratings, which prevents titles with only a small number of high scores from entering the ranking.



Christopher Nolan’s Films in Letterboxd Top 500







FilmLetterboxd rankThe Dark Knight24Interstellar34The Odyssey115The Prestige171Inception260Memento384Oppenheimer437



The Dark Knight remains Nolan’s highest-ranked film at number 24, followed closely by Interstellar at number 34. Both movies continue to receive strong ratings years after their original releases.



The Prestige, Inception, Memento, and Oppenheimer also appear in the Top 500, showing the lasting popularity of Nolan’s thrillers, science-fiction stories, and historical dramas.



The Odyssey Raises Nolan’s Total to Seven







Nolan previously had six films on the list. However, The Odyssey entered the ranking at number 115 during the July 19, 2026 update, increasing his total to seven.



The addition gives Nolan another major achievement and places him among a small group of directors with several films represented in Letterboxd’s highest-rated selection.



His rankings also show the wide appeal of his work. Nolan has earned recognition for superhero films, space adventures, psychological mysteries, historical stories, and large-scale action movies.



Since Letterboxd rankings change as members add new ratings, individual positions can rise or fall. Still, placing seven films inside the Top 500 highlights Nolan’s strong reputation among modern movie audiences.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apple is already working on the second-generation iPhone Air, and early reports suggest it will fix several of the biggest complaints about the first model. While the original iPhone Air impressed buyers with its ultra-thin design, many users wanted better cameras, longer battery life, and improved sustained performance.



The upcoming iPhone Air 2 is expected to bring meaningful hardware upgrades while keeping the slim design that defines the Air lineup. Apple also appears to be changing its iPhone launch strategy, which means the next Air model may not arrive alongside the Pro models as many expected.



iPhone Air 2 at a glance



FeatureExpected DetailsRelease windowSpring 2027ProcessorA20 Pro built on 2nm processRear camerasDual cameras with Wide + Ultra WideBatteryAround 3,500mAhCoolingVapor chamber coolingDesignSimilar ultra-thin chassis



Will Apple release an iPhone Air 2?



There were reports earlier that Apple had paused development because the first iPhone Air did not sell as well as expected. 



Later reports clarified that Apple had not canceled the device. Instead, the company shifted its roadmap and continues to develop a second-generation model, which is currently believed to be in advanced testing under the internal codename V62.



A second rear camera is finally coming







The biggest limitation of the current iPhone Air is its single rear camera. Apple reportedly plans to solve that by adding a second lens.



Instead of using a telephoto camera, the company is expected to include an Ultra Wide sensor. This setup would match Apple's standard iPhone models and make the Air much more versatile for photography.



Expected camera improvements




48MP primary Wide camera



Ultra Wide secondary camera



Better landscape photography



Improved macro capabilities



More flexibility for video recording




A telephoto lens is still expected to remain exclusive to Pro models.



A20 Pro chip with 2nm technology







Another major upgrade is the processor.



The iPhone Air 2 is expected to use Apple's new A20 Pro chip, making it one of the first iPhones built on a 2-nanometer manufacturing process.



Apple is also expected to adopt Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module technology, which integrates memory and the processor more efficiently. This design should improve both performance and power efficiency.



Expected benefits




Faster CPU performance



Better graphics performance



Lower power consumption



Improved AI processing



Longer battery life through better efficiency




Bigger battery without sacrificing thinness







Battery life was another common complaint about the first iPhone Air. Apple reportedly plans to address that with both hardware and silicon improvements.



Supply chain information suggests the iPhone Air 2 will include a battery around 3,500mAh, compared to the current 3,149mAh battery.



That represents roughly an 11 percent increase in capacity before accounting for the efficiency gains from the A20 Pro chip. While Apple has not confirmed real-world battery figures, users should expect noticeably longer endurance than the current generation.



Vapor chamber cooling arrives







Apple first introduced vapor chamber cooling on its Pro iPhones, and the technology is now expected to reach the Air lineup.



This cooling system spreads heat more effectively across the phone, allowing the processor to maintain higher performance during demanding workloads.



That means users can expect:




Better gaming performance



Less thermal throttling



Cooler temperatures during extended use



More stable performance while editing videos or using AI features




Expected release date



Apple originally planned to launch the iPhone Air 2 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in September 2026.



More recent reports point to a different strategy.



Apple is now expected to launch:



ProductExpected launchiPhone 18 ProFall 2026iPhone 18 Pro MaxFall 2026Foldable iPhoneFall 2026iPhone 18Spring 2027iPhone Air 2Spring 2027



This split launch schedule would allow Apple to focus premium devices in the fall while introducing mainstream models several months later.



Wrap Up



Based on current reports, the iPhone Air 2 looks like a much more complete device than its predecessor. A second rear camera, a larger battery, a faster A20 Pro chip, and vapor chamber cooling directly address the biggest compromises of the first-generation model while preserving its ultra-thin design.



As with all early Apple leaks, these details remain unofficial until the company makes an announcement. If the current roadmap stays on track, the iPhone Air 2 should arrive in spring 2027 with a stronger feature set and a better balance between portability and everyday performance.]]></content:encoded>

Hello, again. This is Trey.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Welcome to part 8 in my Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) Project series.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

It is hard to believe that I started this project and the HPR series to document it more than a year ago.  Time flies.  Life happens. I spent the last 8 months so focused on work related activities that I had to set the project aside.  And once I set it aside, it was difficult to get back to again.  The one time I tried, I found that my son's old Windows laptop, which I had commandeered to use for the project, was once and truly dead.  

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

We live in a different world now than we did when I began this project.  Today, everything is about AI – how it is changing our world, increasing efficiencies, and even displacing certain types of jobs.  "Vibe coding" is transforming the way we make software, and now everyone is a developer.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Within my organization, we are all being strongly encouraged to learn more about AI and apply it in our daily work.  We are blessed to have access to a wide range of training and to powerful tools which support the process.  Several colleagues within my organization and outside my organization have recommended Claude Code -- for development, for organization, for brainstorming, and for much more.  My role is not that of a developer, and I have had no need for Claude Code at work.  There are plenty of other tools for me to use.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

But at home, I thought... I could install Claude Code at home to experiment with and to learn.  And then it hit me.  I wonder if I could use Claude Code to help me with my stalled CYD project.  

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

"Hello, my name is Trey, and I am a fraud."

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

OK.  I don't think I am a fraud, but having never used such a powerful tool to help me code, I feel a little bit like a fraud, with Claude doing the work for me. Let's talk through what we did.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

As I mentioned, I was unable to use the laptop on which I created the original GUI code.  But no worries, because It was all on GitHub, right?

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

So, I began by trying to install Claude Code on one of my Ubuntu machines.  That failed miserably, and all the instructions I found online recommended running it on Windows.  So I transitioned to installing Claude Code on a freshly built Windows 10 system using some old hardware which will not support Windows 11.  Surprisingly, It seems that Claude wants to run within Ubuntu on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Once I went through all the hoops for installing and setting up my basic subscription, I got to work.  I created a new directory to use for all my project files, and another one for Claude to write all its output files to.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Everything I have read and heard about using Claude Code for a project like this recommended beginning by using Claude to create the project plan.  So my first prompt was as follows:

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

"I am building a project using an ESP32 cheap yellow display. The final goal is to have a device with a graphical user interface which will allow me store several text messages, each assigned to their own specific button. Then, when one of the buttons is pressed, the message will be converted into morse code, and the message will be sent by blinking an onboard LED. I already have the initial design for the GUI coded in my github repository. Please construct a detailed step by step plan for building this application"

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

I wanted to keep it simple at the beginning, so even though I plan to use an opto-isolated relay for the output, I am starting out using the built in LED.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Claude asked me for the URL for my Github repository, and I provided it.  After thinking for a bit, it produced a project plan.

<p>

CYD Morse Sender — Step-by-Step Build Plan

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

What You Already Have

</p>

<p>

- 3 fully designed LVGL screens (Send, Config, Keyboard)

</p>

<p>

- 7 send buttons with green styling on the Send Screen

</p>

<p>

- Speed slider (5–30 WPM) and program slot dropdown on Config Screen

</p>

<p>

- Text area + LVGL keyboard widget on Keyboard Screen

</p>

<p>

- Display driver and touchscreen hardware initialized (but touch read was stubbed out)

</p>

<p>

---

</p>

<p>

Phase 1: Fix Touchscreen Input

</p>

<p>

Initialize the XPT2046 on VSPI, replace the hardcoded touched = false with real touch data, calibrate raw ADC coordinates to screen pixels, and verify all three nav buttons transition screens correctly.                         

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Phase 2: Persistent Message Storage

</p>

<p>

Use Preferences.h / NVS to store 7 messages ("msg0" – "msg6") that survive power cycles. Load on boot and populate send button labels.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Phase 3: Config Screen — Slot Selection &amp; Speed

</p>

<p>

Wire the Program dropdown to g_selectedSlot, wire the Speed slider to g_wpm with a live WPM label, and wire the Set button to clear the text area and navigate to the Keyboard Screen.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Phase 4: Keyboard Screen — Capture and Save Text

</p>

<p>

On keyboard OK (LV_EVENT_READY): read the text area, save to NVS, update the send button label, navigate back. On Cancel: navigate back without saving.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Phase 5: Morse Code Engine

</p>

<p>

Build morse.h with the full A–Z / 0–9 lookup table, a textToMorse() converter, and Paris-standard timing (unit_ms = 1200 / wpm).

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Phase 6: Non-Blocking LED Transmission

</p>

<p>

State machine (IDLE / LED_ON / LED_OFF) driven by millis() in a morseUpdate() function called every loop — no delay().   LED on GPIO 17 (blue).

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Phase 7: Wire the Send Buttons

</p>

<p>

Each button calls startMorse(getMessage(slot)) if not already transmitting. Disable all send buttons during TX; re-enable when the state machine reaches the end.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Phase 8: Integration &amp; Polish

</p>

<p>

Stop button, WPM persistence, empty-slot guard, serial debug output, final touch calibration, end-to-end test checklist.

</p>

<p>

---

</p>

<p>

Recommended order: Phase 1 → 2 → 7 (partial) → 5 → 6 → 7 (full) → 3 → 4 → 8

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

This was wild!  Claude determined exactly how far along I was in the project, and also alerted me to the fact that the "touch read was stubbed out".  Ugh.  This means that the files I had uploaded to GitHub were my original GUI files (Episode 05 – HPR4532 - 
<a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4532/index.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4532/index.html</a>

) and not the ones that I finally got working properly (Episode 07 – HPR4624 - 
<a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4624/index.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4624/index.html</a>

).  That was my own fault.  Did I mention that I don't get Git?  I REALLY need to learn to properly use Git!

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

But, we have a plan, broken down by eight numbered phases.  And they seem to address all the functionality I wanted with a few additional things I had not thought about.  Interestingly, even though these phases are sequentially numbered, Claud recommended that we approach them in a bizarre order: Phase 1 → 2 → 7 (partial) → 5 → 6 → 7 (full) → 3 → 4 → 8 .

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Alright.  Let's see what we can do.  The first phase is to fix the touchscreen input.  

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Claude took me through it step-by-step, asking as it needed to read specific project files.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Finally, it wrote a new ui.ino code file to my speficied output directory for me to test.  I copied it into the correct file location, said a quick prayer, compiled in Arduino IDE, and downloaded to the CYD.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Well, that is... interesting.  The display looked nothing like it was supposed to.  There were vertical green bars with smaller dashed green vertical stripes in them. I will include a picture in the show notes so that you can see what it looked like and why it was so difficult to describe.  

</p>

<p>


</p>

</a>

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

I spent the next hour or so trying to explain what I was seeing to a chat bot.  Claude recommended potential fixes which either did nothing or made the situation worse.  I began questioning whether this was a good idea, how people actually gained efficiencies talking to a bot, and even several life choices.  

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Then I had a thought.  I prompted Claude:

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

If I were to take a picture of the screen on the cheap yellow display and copy it into the output folder, would you be able to analyze it to better determine what is wrong and how to fix it?

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Shockingly, Claude answered in the affirmative, and told me to copy the picture to the output folder and let it know when to proceed.  It analyzed the picture and more of the supporting files it had copied from my GitHub, asking each time if it could access that file.  It determined that my original code was written for a flavor of LVGL version 8 and I was now using LVGL 9.5.  

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

It recommended changes, and then asked permission to make those changes, file by file.  .h files &amp; .c files,  Finally, I just gave it permission to edit the files in the project folder without asking for permission for each file each time.  Claude was still explaining each change, showing me exactly what would be changed, and asking for permission, so that I could review all of the changes.  But now it was not asking additional permission to write to each of the impacted files.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Next, Code compiled and downloaded.  Different screen, but not right. Again, I took a picture and gave it to Claude to analyze.  So, Claude paused and altered the code to generate a specific test pattern overtop of the GUI.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>

<a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4689/hpr4689_image_2.jpeg">
<img src="https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4689/hpr4689_image_2_tn.jpeg">
</a>

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

The test pattern was supposed to cover the entire rectangular screen.  But parts of the pattern were in a square on the screen and parts were not.  Another photograph and analysis, told Claude that there were some rotation/screensize issues.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

We repeated this several times.  Some resulted in improvement, and others did not.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

This is the point where I noticed something interesting. Not about Claude, specifically, or about the app.  But I noticed something interesting about myself and about the process.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Previously, when I was working through some of these challenges without Claud, I found myself becoming more and more stressed, frustrated, and angry, until I found a solution.  Then another problem would repeat the cycle.  Success in the end was great, but the emotional extremes during the process were not always pleasant.  

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Now, I was effectively managing the project, and relaying information to the resource responsible for fixing the problems -- a very different experience.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

But I also ran into another issue.  Claude became absolutely certain that the problem revolved around the device not accurately knowing where the 4 corners of the screen were.  But in reality, the output of the test pattern was rotated 90 degrees from the actual screen.  It took several iterations of me insisting that the problem had to do with screen orientation and not corner coordinates.  It was interesting to experience the tool doubling down on an obvious mistake, but we finally resolved that.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Again, while it was frustrating, it was much less stressful.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

We proceeded to 
<strong>

<em>
Phase 2: Persistent Message Storage</em>

</strong>

where we ensured that the button labels on the send screen were stored in the devices persistent storage, so that, when they are edited to contain the message they should send, that information would survive a reboot.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Next, we combined elements of 
<strong>

<em>
Phase 5: Morse Code Engine</em>

</strong>

, 
<strong>

<em>
Phase 6: Non-Blocking LED Transmission</em>

</strong>

, and 
<strong>

<em>
Phase 7: Wire the Send Buttons</em>

</strong>

together. Building the morse code engine was an area I had been thinking about for a while.  I already had working parts of something similar in the Arduino practice oscillator I have referenced a few times in this series.  The code for the practice oscillator may be found on my GitHub, but it was all based on original code from jmharvey1, with my only contribution being making pin assignments variables so that the code could easily be ported to different devices.  

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

So, I was happy that we were building the morse code engine directly.  The code for it may be found in morse.h, which uses a constant character lookup table to define each character.  Without any specific direction from me, Claude used the PARIS timing methods I have already described within Episode 6 of this series.  It defines timing for DOT, DASH, LETTER_GAP, and WORD_GAP, and all are based on a simple calculation of 1200 ms / the number of words per minute (WPM) we wish to transmit.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Along the way, we discovered that, if we tried to use the delay() function, it would crash the program due to a conflict with the LVGL timer used for touchscreen inputs. Claude altered all the delays accordingly.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Then, 
<strong>

<em>
Phase 3: Config Screen — Slot Selection &amp; Speed</em>

</strong>

allowed us to configure the WPM we wished to use in addition to selecting a specific Send button to reconfigure.  This forced us to work on 
<strong>

<em>
Phase 4: Keyboard Screen — Capture and Save Text</em>

</strong>

which is used to type the entries for each Send button.  At this point, I also decided that we would want to also use the Keyboard Screen to send ad hoc morse as we typed it.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

During this phase we discovered several bugs which seemed to cause random freezes.  Careful troubleshooting with messages output to the Arduino IDE's serial console helped us narrow down the causes and remedy them.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Finally all the tests worked and I am able to merrily pre-configure macro buttons with custom messages and use the CYD to send the morse code for those messages to the on-board LED at whichever rate I specify.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

I have noticed in my presentation of this narrative that I repeatedly slip into the first person plural terms "we" and "us" instead of the first person singular terms "I" and "me".  I have unconsciously personified Claud and recognized it as an integral part of my (formerly one person) development team.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

I finally configured Claude to connect to my GitHub repo and upload all the files and documentation. We additionally created a CYD-Narrative.md file which describes in more detail all the work which was done on the project.  I still do not 100% get git, but we are successfully using it.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

You can find all these files in my GitHub repo (
<a href="https://github.com/jttrey3/CYD_MorseSender" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
https://github.com/jttrey3/CYD_MorseSender</a>

) where they are shared under a GPL 3.0 license.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

There are still several additional steps I plan to complete in the next few months.  

</p>

<p>

<p>

1. I will be integrating an opto-isolated relay which will allow me to plug the device into the straight key input on any amateur radio.  This will require a battery power source, charge controller, and more hardware.

</p>

<ol>

<li>

I... make that "We" (Claude &amp; I)  will be modifying the code to support an audio side tone through an attached speaker when sending code

</li>

<li>

We will add an output selection switch to the config page to choose any combination of speaker, relay, or LED as output.

</li>

<li>

We will develop a downloadable firmware which I hope to share with the Cheap Yellow Display community.

</li>

</ol>

<p>


</p>

<p>

If you can think of any additional features you would like to see integrated, please drop me an email using the address in my HPR profile.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

I may also work with a friend to attempt to 3d print a case for the entire contraption, and I will be sure to record additional episodes sharing the process.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

I have learned so much throughout this project, about the CYD, ESP32, GUIs, Claude Code, GitHub, and most of all, about myself.  

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Does using AI to develop this code make me a fraud? It still feels like it in some ways.  

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Does it make me more productive?  ABSOLUTELY!  I made consistent forward progress when I only had 30-60 minutes each day to work on it, and everything discussed in this episode was completed in less than a week.  If I had been able to work on it for a few hours uninterrupted, it may have only taken me 3-5 hours.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Does it empower and inspire me to do more projects like this?  100%  I feel like I had support working with me the whole way.  I was less stressed overall, and it had less of an impact on the amount of and quality of time I spent with my family.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

I will be wrapping up this series soon, without any more 6 month gaps, I hope.

</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>

Until next time...

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A global law enforcement crackdown has seized infrastructure serving the massive phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) group Kratos, as well resulting in the arrest of an unnamed Kratos “developer and technical administrator” in Indonesia. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The effort was managed by German law enforcement and involved agencies from the US, Indonesia and other countries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although a <a href="https://www.bka.de/DE/Presse/Listenseite_Pressemitteilungen/2026/Presse2026/260720_PM_Kratos.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">German statement</a> claimed that the Kratos infrastructure “has been completely disabled” and that “Kratos-supported phishing campaigns can no longer be carried out,” cybersecurity analysts and consultants question how much of a dent in enterprise phishing activity will result, and how long it will last.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“A server seizure and a single arrest overseas remove infrastructure, not the intellectual property,” said <a href="https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=PRF004767" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Frank Dickson</a>, group VP for security at IDC. “PhaaS kits get cloned, forked and resold routinely, and the 1,800 Kratos customers didn’t vanish. They just lost a vendor in a market where vendors get replaced fast.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He added, “seizing 200-plus servers and arresting the developer pulls a major supplier out of that specific niche. It doesn’t touch the broader phishing economy. For every roach that you squish, there are a hundred that you do not see.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/noah-m-kenney-27499a166/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Noah Kenney</a>, principal consultant at Digital 520, takes an even more pessimistic view, arguing that there might not even be that much of a short-term phishing slowdown. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“What makes this different from a botnet or ransomware takedown is that the people running the attacks were never part of the organization. Kratos was just a vendor,” Kenney said. “The 1,800 customers who bought it still have their target lists, their sending infrastructure and whatever access they had already established. The tooling went dark, but the people phishing your employees last week are still working, shopping for a replacement that already exists. Enterprises should not read this as a drop in (likely) threat volume.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One thing that the security community seems to agree on is that Kratos was a major player in the lucrative PhaaS space. But precisely determining the percentage of PhaaS activity controlled by Kratos is impossible, given that Kratos sold their kits to others. Security researchers even disagree on what they should call Kratos kits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Microsoft tracks this kit as SneakyLog, others tie it to Sneaky 2FA, and KnowBe4 disputes the lineage entirely. When the security industry cannot agree on what a kit is to be called, that is because renaming and reselling is continuous rather than something that happens after a raid,” Kenney said. “What actually changed this time is the arrest and the [shutdown of the] servers. Standing up new hosting is only a weekend of work, but replacing a developer who understood how to keep an adversary in the middle proxy stable and evasive at scale is harder.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">IDC’s Dickson added that the biggest value from the takedown is in the information gleaned from the seized servers. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Kratos operated in the adversary-in-the-middle category, generating convincing fake Microsoft 365 login pages that harvest session tokens and step past MFA, the exact technique behind a lot of the business email compromise activity of the past two years,” he said. “I would love to see what law enforcement does with the customer list. That, my friend, is gold.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regardless, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/assafmo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Assaf Morag</a>, a cybersecurity researcher at Flare, dubbed the German crackdown “symbolic,” given Kratos’ reach within phishing circles. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He argued that the very nature of software makes it all but impossible to shut down in a meaningful way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Although this is malicious infrastructure, it is still software, and modern development and deployment practices make it relatively quick to rebuild or replicate,” he said. “Demand is likely to shift to competing providers, allowing the ecosystem to recover even if this particular operation has been disrupted.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/authors/metallicamvp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pieter Arntz</a>, malware intelligence researcher at Malwarebytes, agreed that the crackdown is disruptive but not definitive. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This appears to be more than a routine website seizure. The reporting points to a PhaaS platform with centralized infrastructure, subscription-style customers, and Microsoft 365 session theft / MFA-bypass tooling, so taking down the backend likely hurts many downstream affiliates at once. In that sense, it is a meaningful disruption to the phishing ecosystem, not just one campaign,” Arntz said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But, he added, “a rebrand or partial re-emergence is plausible, which is the historical pattern for PhaaS operations. Even if the core infrastructure is gone, the code, customer lists, and operator tradecraft can survive.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This means that customers and affiliates can shift to other phishing kits, he said, so it’s likely that the takedown will create a temporary decline in Kratos-specific activity, but probably not a lasting reduction in phishing overall.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/fvillanustre/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Flavio Villanustre</a>, CISO for the LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group, also concluded that the impact of this crackdown will be short-lived. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“For each criminal organization that is dismantled, ten new ones pop out of nowhere. Unless there is a coordinated international effort by more than a few countries, this is a whack-a-mole exercise,” he said. “These are all loosely connected individuals and akin to a lernaean hydra, with two heads growing whenever you chop off one. Their leadership emerges from their lines organically without a real center of control. This makes it almost impossible to completely eliminate these criminal organizations.”</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA["General Motors has been pulling a Tim Cook and boosting its software and subscription business," reports Business Insider. During the automaker's Tuesday earnings call, executives said they're increasingly leaning on software subscriptions like OnStar and Super Cruise to generate high-margin recurring revenue long after customers buy their vehicles. GM says OnStar brought in about $800 million in the second quarter, while Super Cruise revenue grew about 70% year over year. From the report: GM says its software business keeps roughly 70 cents of every dollar it brings in. That's a rare level of profitability in the auto industry, as many car sales generate just four to 10 cents per sales dollar. [...] GM expects to add about 1 million OnStar subscribers this year, bringing the total close to 13 million. Super Cruise, GM's hands-free, eyes-on driving system, is growing even faster. GM added about 70,000 subscribers during the quarter and expects to end the year with more than 850,000. Revenue from the service increased about 70% from a year earlier.
 
And a lot of drivers are sticking around after the free period ends. GM said between 30% and 40% of eligible owners continue paying after their included three-year Super Cruise subscription expires. [..] "We do think we have tremendous levers, multiple levers of growth," Barra said on the call. "We definitely think there's a lot of opportunity at GM to grow, improve margins, and become less cyclical."
 
"Software and services are becoming increasingly important to how customers experience GM vehicles and how we deliver value beyond the initial purchase," a spokesperson previously told Business Insider. "As vehicles become more software-defined, we can introduce new digital experiences through updates and optional services rather than hardware changes."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You spend weeks tuning an AI chatbot. Answers are accurate. Stakeholders sign off, and you ship it. Three months later, the system is confidently wrong about a third of what users ask. Nobody changed the model, and nobody touched the prompts. The world moved, pricing changed, a policy updated, a product spec shipped a new version, and the underlying knowledge store didn't move with it.</p><p>This is not a hypothetical. It's one of the most common production failure modes in enterprise AI right now, and most data engineering teams don't have the right tooling to catch it, regardless of how the AI system retrieves the data.</p><h2>The failure that doesn't look like a failure </h2><p>An AI application doesn't care whether it's retrieving from a vector store, a document index, or an API call. Whatever the mechanism, nothing in a standard retrieval pipeline checks whether what it's serving is still correct. A stale pricing document retrieves just as confidently as a current one, because the system is scoring relevance or availability, not correctness. A record with a silently missing field passes through just as cleanly as a complete one, for the same reason.</p><p>So the failure is invisible by design. Outdated or incomplete data still scores high on relevance, or passes every check a data pipeline was built to run. The model answers with full confidence because the retrieved context looks authoritative. Every dashboard you're watching stays green. The system looks like it's working. It's just wrong.</p><p>I’ve watched a similar version of this happen outside the AI context, in a fintech pipeline. An upstream system changed a field without notifying downstream users. The pipeline did not fail; it simply propagated bad values into dashboards because the system only checked whether the job completed, not whether the data was still correct. The issue surfaced only when a customer noticed something inconsistent. By then, the bad data had already moved downstream. </p><p>Whether it's a document that's gone stale or a field that's gone silently missing, the failure shape is the same: the absence of an error is not the presence of correctness, and without building proper validation layers, nothing in the pipeline could identify the problem.</p><h2>Why this is a data engineering problem</h2><p>Teams that hit this failure tend to misdiagnose it, and they tend to do it twice.</p><p><b>Blaming the model: </b>The first instinct is to blame the model, try a different LLM, adjust the prompt. The real problem lies further upstream, at the data engineering layer, the same instinct behind the fintech failure above: monitoring built for the pipeline, not the data.</p><p><b>Blaming the retrieval layer: </b>Once the model's ruled out, the next instinct is to blame the retrieval or context layer instead and buy a better one. The timing isn't a coincidence: as enterprises push these systems into the real production world, this gap is exactly what's starting to surface, and the vendor response has been everywhere. </p><ul><li><p>AWS just<a href="https://venturebeat.com/data/aws-enters-the-context-layer-race-with-a-graph-that-learns-from-agents-not-manual-curation"> entered the "context layer" race</a> with a knowledge graph that learns from agent usage. </p></li><li><p>Snowflake's new Horizon Context and Cortex Sense target the exact symptom<a href="https://venturebeat.com/data/ai-agents-keep-giving-confident-wrong-answers-the-context-layer-is-enterprise-ais-next-production-problem"> this piece opened with</a>: agents giving confident wrong answers because nothing governs the business logic underneath them. </p></li></ul><p>Both are real responses to a real problem, but they sit one layer above it; a knowledge graph still depends on whatever feeds it.</p><p>The real problem lies further upstream, at the data engineering layer. Teams check whether a job ran, not whether the data it moved is still true, an instinct that predates AI by years. Monitoring is built for the pipeline, not for the data. </p><h2>What's actually missing: Data observability</h2><p>Data observability is a well-known concept that doesn't get enough attention in how it's actually implemented. The relevant metric isn't a percentage — it's coverage: what fraction of critical datasets have lineage that's actually queryable, versus only living in someone's head.</p><p>Uber built a <a href="https://www.uber.com/in/en/blog/operational-excellence-data-quality/">dedicated data quality and observability platform</a> long before retrieval-augmented generation existed. Their Unified Data Quality platform supports more than 2,000 critical datasets and detects around 90% of data quality incidents before they reach downstream consumers.</p><p>Netflix solved a different piece of the same problem, <a href="https://netflixtechblog.com/building-and-scaling-data-lineage-at-netflix-to-improve-data-infrastructure-reliability-and-1a52526a7977">building a company-wide data lineage system</a> so anyone could answer where a dataset came from and what touched it along the way. It maps dependencies across Kafka topics, ML models, and experimentation, not just warehouse tables. Similar to Uber, the platform was built for humans and now it has become more important with the rise in AI/LLM applications.</p><p>Between them, Uber and Netflix cover two of the four things worth building for. In practice, I think about it as four dimensions, each measurable on its own terms.</p><p><b>Correctness:</b> Does each record conform to the shape and rules it's supposed to, right field types, no unexpected nulls, values in range. Tools like<a href="https://greatexpectations.io/"> Great Expectations</a> and <a href="https://soda.io/">Soda</a> handle this well: automated row and column-level validation instead of manual checks after something breaks. Track percentage of records passing validation per run.</p><p><b>Freshness:</b> Is the data still current relative to its source, not just current as of its last check. Track time since last successful update per source, with an SLA per dataset rather than one blanket threshold, since some sources need hourly refresh and others don't.</p><p><b>Consistency:</b> Does the same fact read the same way everywhere it's stored or indexed. This fails silently, it only shows up when two systems fed by the same source start disagreeing. A periodic cross-check between downstream destinations, flagging mismatch rate above a threshold, is enough to catch it early.</p><p><b>Lineage:</b> Can you trace any output back to its source and every transform it passed through, the same question Netflix built its system to answer. </p><p>None of this requires infrastructure most data teams don't already have. I know because I've built it, not just argued for it.</p><p>At <a href="https://www.socure.com/">Socure</a>, client data arrived in whatever shape the client felt like sending it, and occasionally, quietly wrong. The challenge was building a system where incorrect data could be identified before it propagated downstream. The same principles applied: Validate what arrived, understand where it came from, and prevent bad data from becoming someone else's problem.</p><p>Great Expectations became part of that foundation: schema and range validation at ingestion, per-source SLAs for freshness, cross-system checks for consistency, and file-level lineage. All of it sat behind a <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/build-write-audit-publish-pattern-with-apache-iceberg-branching-and-aws-glue-data-quality/">write-audit-publish</a> pattern, where data landed in staging, was validated, and only moved downstream if it passed the required checks.</p><p>The result showed up downstream: better accuracy across the board, in reporting, in the ML models, and in AI retrieval built on top of that same data.</p><h2>What to do Monday morning</h2><p>If you're running retrieval-based AI systems in production, the diagnostic question isn't which model to try next or which retrieval architecture to migrate to. It's four narrower questions: </p><ul><li><p>Is the underlying data validated against the standards required by its consumers?</p></li><li><p>What's the oldest piece of content currently being served with high confidence?</p></li><li><p>Would two chunks of the same source ever disagree with each other in the same retrieval result?</p></li><li><p>Could you trace where it came from if it turned out to be wrong?</p></li></ul><p>If you can't answer those questions, then the gap lies in the pipeline between your source systems and whatever your agent reads from. That’s a data engineering fix, not a model swap or a vendor migration.</p><p>Whether you're building reporting pipelines, ML systems, or AI agents, correctness, freshness, consistency, and lineage are what make data trustworthy. AI simply exposes weaknesses that have existed in data engineering all along. </p>]]></content:encoded>

"The inner display has enough extra real estate for multi-tasking and entertainment," reports Mashable, which got a chance to try the new foldable ahead of the event. "And if you're worried about a crease in the middle of the display, don't be. We got up close with the device, and the crease fully disappears when the display is activated." From the report: As stated above, the main distinguishing factor of the new Z Fold 8 is its wider 4:3 proportions compared to the Z Fold 8 Ultra. If the latter is a book-style foldable, the former can almost be called a tablet-style foldable, instead. We think the wide screen will serve even better for reading books or multi-tasking with several apps open at once.
 
Also, at 201g, Samsung is really emphasizing how light the device is. The company is calling it the "world's lightest fold ever." And while the device may be light, its no lightweight. Samsung's newest foldable features Flex Titanium technology, which makes the Galaxy Z Fold 8 more durable. Speaking of durability, it also boasts Samsung's advantage hinge technology, Armor Flexhinge.
 
The Z Fold 8 feels like a solid middle point between the premium Z Fold 8 Ultra and the comparatively affordable Z Flip 8. All three phones use the same chip, but the Z Fold 8's 4,800mAh battery is smaller than that of the Z Fold 8 Ultra. However, the Z Fold 8 does have an option for 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage, similar to the Ultra.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco has revealed a family of open-weight AI models called Antares that, it said, can help security teams isolate potentially vulnerable parts of a software repository before deeper investigation begins.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rather than detecting a specific CVE or generating a patch, these models search a codebase using only a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) description and return the files most likely to contain that class of vulnerability.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Its purpose is to reduce a large codebase to a focused set of files that a security professional or a downstream security workflow should investigate,” Cisco’s AI researcher <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/supriti-vijay/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Supriti Vijay</a> said via email. “The goal is not to replace a security engineer’s judgement or send them on a wild-goose chase, but to reduce fatigue and workload by helping them triage an issue earlier and focus their investigation on the most relevant parts of the codebase.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Antares family consists of models with 350 million, 1 billion, and 3 billion parameters trained specifically for repository-scale vulnerability localization.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company said its largest model approaches the performance of GPT-5.5 on its internal vulnerability localization (Vloc) benchmark while remaining small enough for low-cost local deployment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A search assistant, not a vulnerability detector</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco is careful to define what Antares is, and what it is not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Antares outputs a ranked list of source files likely to contain a relevant vulnerability, along with the terminal exploration trace that led to that result,” Cisco Foundation AI Chief Scientist <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amin-karbasi-5025335/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amin Karbasi</a> wrote in a blog post, adding that the models are not meant to replace the broader application security toolchain: Human analysts or downstream security tools will still be needed to confirm exploitability, <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/4200083/gitlab-previews-auto-remediation-of-vulnerable-dependencies.html">identify vulnerable lines of code</a>, assess severity and generate fixes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Antares differs from conventional static analysis platforms such as Semgrep or CodeQL, which primarily rely on predefined rules or queries. Cisco instead describes Antares as an evidence-driven exploration agent that adapts its search as it traverses the repository.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco’s argument is that large repositories often contain thousands of files, making manual reviews exhaustive and unrealistic. By reducing the search space to a manageable shortlist, the company hopes to reduce investigation fatigue without replacing human judgement.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Claims of specialization over scale</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco is also making a statement about how cybersecurity models should evolve.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of pursuing larger foundational models, Cisco argued that specialized, task-trained models can outperform much larger open-weight alternatives for vulnerability localization. In its evaluation Antares-3B, the largest model intended for single-GPU deployments, produced results comparable to GPT-5.5 while outperforming several substantially larger open models by Google, OpenAI and Meta.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The family also includes Antares-350M for resource-constrained environments and Antares-1B for laptops and workstations, which Cisco has made available as open-weight models on Hugging Face.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The command line interface (CLI) on the models supports targeted CWE investigations, repository-wide scans, SARIF output and local inference, which Cisco said enables organizations to keep proprietary code inside their own trust boundary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, because Antares identifies candidate files rather than confirmed vulnerabilities, organizations will still need to understand how often such repository-wide searches should be run, how much they improve existing triage workflows, and whether the reduction in investigation effort ultimately translates into measurable security or cost benefits.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Cisco, VP of engineering Jason Andrews deals with all the same technical issues as every other company deploying AI, including ensuring it’s governed, secure, and integrating multiple data sources, legacy systems, and AI models.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But these issues are relatively straightforward compared to the bigger challenges relating to the fast pace of change, specifically how AI can touch and transform nearly every aspect of business.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We’re thinking about it every day,” he says. “My belief is we’ll be seeing a massive acceleration of everything.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In coding, for example, he’s witnessing productivity increases up to 110% with AI assistants. “I can build apps or custom integrations a lot faster,” he adds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the real benefit of AI isn’t just in speeding up individual steps in a process, but in making AI the core of a new business process. But building it from scratch puts even more pressure on organizations trying to get employees up to speed on new ways of doing things.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We want to move fast, train people, and get them onboarded,” he says. “But what I thought AI was going to do for my organization nine months ago is different from three months ago.” So by the time something is rolled out, it’s changed three times.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I struggle with the change management aspect,” he says. “The legacy model of change management isn’t fast enough. How do you create that constant learning?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the ways Cisco approaches it is to create communities where people can talk about these issues and share best practices and governance, and you have to keep people’s minds open that every day is going to be different than the last, Andrews adds.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Testing the AI waters</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco isn’t the only organization struggling with change management in the face of the AI tsunami. <a href="https://www.ibm.com/thought-leadership/institute-business-value/en-us/c-suite-study/ceo">In a survey of 2,000 global CEOs IBM released in May</a>, 83% of them said AI success depends more on adoption than on the technology itself, and 77% said talent and technology roles are converging.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Thanks to Claude Code, our entire development cadence is exponentially greater than a year ago,” says Andrew Johnson, CIO at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, a Denver-based law firm with about 700 employees and clients around the US. But, as with Cisco, the biggest challenge isn’t technical.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“In our industry, with our circumstances, we’re probably less constrained by technical capability than organizational constraints, culture, aptitude, the need to bind people to technology, and what helps me and the client,” he says. “There’s a tremendous amount of cultural shift that has to happen in our organization, which is far more demanding of my attention and complexity of thought than the technical stuff.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies that bill by the hour, such as law firms, may face additional challenges as attorney productivity increases because billable hours might go down. Alternatively, the total number of cases could go up as litigation becomes less expensive. Either way, firms that adapt will see competitive advantage, and the rest will fall behind, putting more pressure on the need for change management.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“If people can’t embrace technology, we won’t be able to get a lot of value out of it,” says Johnson. “I’m talking to people about adapting their way of work. There are certainly a lot of people intrigued and anxious to dive in. They recognize the connection between the potential of the technology and what we do.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But helping everyone see that connection and then working with them to change their habits is difficult, and requires solid relationships and good communications. “That’s been far more of a bottleneck for us,” he says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To address the issue, the firm has developed a network of technology champions who also understand the legal side of the business. “Now we need lawyers who know how to use the technology and can articulate these things to the people we’re trying to reach,” Johnson says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But change management is only one leadership bottleneck slowing AI adoption. Companies also struggle with figuring out their vision for AI, with slow decision-making, and a tendency to focus on the past instead of the future.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vision and strategy</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.grantthornton.com/services/advisory-services/artificial-intelligence/2026-ai-impact-survey">In another survey, this time of 950 business leaders released by Grant Thornton</a> in April, 51% said strategy is the biggest driver of ROI when it comes to AI adoption, but 79% of operations leaders said they don’t have a fully developed and implemented AI strategy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Having leadership understanding why AI is needed and what objective they’re trying to achieve is very important,” says Shivi Verma, senior manager of engineering at Docusign. “Sometimes leadership doesn’t have a strategy for their organization on how AI should be adopted. Many times it’s bottom-up, which creates a chaotic experience.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When Docusign started adopting gen AI, different teams and organizational units wanted to go in different directions. “All were coming up with their own strategy and tooling,” he says. So Docusign brought business leaders together to understand the pain points, and decide on the technology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Getting requirements and placing a bet on a specific technology was important,” he says, “as well as pivoting to a different technology if needed.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In order to adapt to changes, the company wanted to have a nimble approach, starting with smaller use cases, with power users, and problem areas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We try to plan for four to six months,” he adds. “We set expectations for our leadership that we place a bet with a specific technology, but want to be able to pivot.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today, the leadership challenge front lines have moved yet again, to agentic AI. “Folks are creating their own agents and deciding their own permissions,” Verma adds. “We’re still coming up with a governance strategy.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Slow decision-making</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When it comes to AI deployments, Dan Diasio, global AI consulting leader at EY and CTO for its US consulting business, admits he’s a bottleneck.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s a great deal of interest in what AI can do, and using a variety of new AI tools. But since the firm deals with sensitive client data, safety is paramount. It’s a slow process, but important to build secure infrastructure, and to have trust in the technology. “That’s a reasonable bottleneck that makes sense,” he says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Trust in the tools they work with is essential because clients expect it. “Every tool we use has to go through a detailed security and information privacy impact assessment, as well as a whole other set of controls so they can be used appropriately and safely,” he says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These reviews can take a lot of time, though, and in the age of AI, speed is a highly valued currency. So how do you balance the two, when safety reviews can require input from a lot of different stakeholders and be extremely time intensive?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We’ve stood up a team to be able to quickly certify and address a variety of platforms,” Diasio says. “Instead of working with different departments in the way we used to, we’ve started identifying representatives from different departments into a cohort. Decisions we used to make in months now take weeks.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to a <a href="https://www.westmonroe.com/insights/why-speed-matters">West Monroe survey</a> of more than 1,200 leaders released earlier this year, slow decision-making is already showing up on the bottom line. Nearly three out of four leaders said their organizations lose up to 5% of annual revenue to slow decision-making and delayed execution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the top reasons for the delays? According to 40% of the managers surveyed, the problem was the skills gaps of overwhelmed teams, and 35% pointed to layers of management or approvals. Nearly half said they’re spending 10 to 25% of their time on rework, excessive approvals, and unnecessary meetings, and more than half say up to 50% of their projects fail or lose momentum to delays.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Focus on the future, not the past</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When it comes to the decision about where to apply AI in an organization, the tendency, Diasio says, is to turn to the experts with the most expertise in the business. But these are the same people most likely to focus on improving on what they’re already doing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“And that often blinds people to what’s possible in the future,” he says. “That becomes a significant bottleneck.” So the solution is to revamp the decision-making process around the new reality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“What we see some advanced companies do is give people who don’t understand the process but understand the technology equal footing with people who don’t understand the technology but understand the process,” he says. “A lot of companies are disproportionately focused on just addressing their operating model right now.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of focusing on what they’re currently doing, AI-native companies will start with a focus on the customer, he says. This shift in focus isn’t likely to show up immediately on the bottom line, or result in the highest possible number of pilots going into production.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“If leaders are in a position where they’re justifying the use of a technology to the board or their CFO, they become a bottleneck when they start demonstrating their value in terms of the number of things they’re doing,” Diasio says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But 150 or 200 use cases deployed into production may feel like progress, like things are happening in the organization. But all these use cases are a waste of time and money if they’re applied to existing processes that don’t move the needle. “We see that happen in organizations today,” he says. “Maybe we need to reinvent the processes.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s no secret that companies will need to change in order to adapt to AI. <a href="https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/topics/technology-management/future-of-tech-leadership.html">Deloitte recently surveyed</a> 660 global technology leaders and 81% said their current operating model can deploy and govern AI enterprise-wide, but 75% also said their organization must change its operating model within the next 12 to 18 months to drive greater value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI ROI is real, says China Widener, Deloitte vice chair and US tech, media, and telecom industry leader. But it’s currently weighted toward efficiency gains, with broader business transformation and revenue upside still developing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/what-we-do/capabilities/applied-artificial-intelligence/content/state-of-ai-in-the-enterprise.html">Another Deloitte survey</a> showed that the clearest results from AI were in productivity, with 66% of organizations reporting gains, and cost efficiency, with 40% saying AI reduces costs. “However, revenue impact is still emerging,” says Widener. “Only one in five companies says AI is driving top-line growth today.” But optimism prevails, with 74% expecting it to do so in the future.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A client called me last week with a problem I have been hearing about more often lately. They had made significant reserved instance commitments with a major cloud provider, overbuying for what they thought would be heavy AI training workloads. Now they were sitting on thousands of dollars in idle capacity every month. Their plan was simple: resell it to someone else. Except they couldn’t.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have been doing cloud consulting for a long time, and this situation once had a straightforward solution. You went to the marketplace, listed your unused reservations, and found a buyer. The process was a bit clunky, but it worked. These days, the answer is far more complicated, and my client learned this the hard way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI has made this problem increasingly common. Companies initially committed to compute capacity based on ambitious training plans. Prototype projects were expected to scale, and inference workloads were projected to grow substantially. Then reality hit. Some projects did not materialize. Some <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2335213/large-language-models-the-foundations-of-generative-ai.html">models</a> trained faster than expected. Some inference patterns were lighter than anticipated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many organizations now hold reserved capacity they can’t use, discard, or share without a complex, increasingly restricted process. This reality is something every company with significant cloud spend needs to clearly understand.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The history of cloud resale</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There was once a functioning resale market for cloud reserved instances. AWS, for example, maintained a <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/reserved-instances/marketplace/" data-type="link" data-id="https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/reserved-instances/marketplace/">Reserved Instances Marketplace</a> where companies that had purchased reserved capacity could sell those reservations to other AWS customers. This was a legitimate, AWS-sanctioned process. Companies would register as sellers, list their unused reservations with pricing and terms, and if a buyer appeared, the marketplace would facilitate the transaction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The resale market was useful for companies that had overestimated their needs or whose business changes reduced their cloud consumption. Instead of simply absorbing the cost of unused commitments, they could recoup some of that investment by selling to other organizations with unmet demand. It created a secondary market that added liquidity to what was otherwise a rigid financial arrangement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My client had some experience with this resale market a few years ago and assumed they could use it again. They were unpleasantly surprised to learn that the rules had changed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"> AWS changes the rules</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In January 2024, AWS implemented a significant policy change that effectively shut down the resale of EC2 Reserved Instances on its platform. AWS stopped allowing companies to resell their unused reserved capacity through the Reserved Instance Marketplace or any other official channel. If you have a reserved instance commitment with AWS, you are essentially stuck with it unless you can use it yourself or modify your reservation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This change had a real impact on companies that had relied on resale as part of their cloud financial management strategy. It reduced flexibility and increased the risk of long-term reserved commitments. When I explained this AWS policy change to my client’s representatives, I could hear the frustration in their voices. They had made their commitment in good faith, carefully modeled their expected AI workloads, and now faced the reality that there was no easy exit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reasoning behind this change is not entirely clear, but AWS likely viewed capacity resales as something that complicated their billing and commitment models without providing enough benefit to the overall ecosystem. Regardless of the company’s reasons, the primary resale path for the largest cloud provider has been effectively closed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What options still exist?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What can companies do now when they find themselves with reserved capacity they no longer need? The first possibility is to work directly with the cloud provider to modify or exchange the reservation if it is convertible. Some reservation types allow modifications, such as changing the instance type, region, or tenancy. This will not eliminate the commitment, but it may help companies better align their reservations with actual workload needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second option is to use third-party brokers and marketplaces that operate independently of the cloud providers. Although AWS has shut down its official resale channel, brokers and marketplaces still facilitate resale arrangements for other cloud providers and for some AWS scenarios. These arrangements can be more complex and carry more risk, but they remain a possibility for companies determined to move unused capacity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The third alternative is to optimize usage. Companies can invest in better <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2257609/how-aiops-improves-application-monitoring.html">utilization monitoring</a>, workload placement, and automation to ensure that reserved capacity is used as efficiently as possible. This does not recover the money already spent, but it reduces future waste.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My client explored all three alternatives and found that each had significant limitations. Modifications were possible, but only within a narrow range. Third-party brokers were interested, but the process was opaque and uncertain. Optimization helped, but it could not eliminate the fundamental overcommitment they had already made.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The broader implications</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cloud commitments are more rigid than many enterprises initially realize because they lack a liquid market and because providers control modifications, transfers, or cancellations. Right now, I see this pattern most often in the AI space. Companies commit to massive amounts of compute for training and inference based on projections that rarely reflect the actual workloads. Then they are surprised to find themselves locked into payments. The AI boom has led to significant overcommitment because enterprises remain unaware that the resale mechanisms that once existed have been largely shut down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is why <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2338592/6-finops-best-practices-to-reduce-cloud-costs.html">cloud financial management</a> has become such an important discipline. Companies need to be far more thoughtful about how they commit to cloud resources, how they model their future consumption, and how they build flexibility into their cloud strategies. The days of assuming you can always resell your way out of an overcommitment are effectively over, at least with AWS.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For Azure and Google Cloud, the resale landscape is slightly different, but the same general principles apply. These providers have their own capacity transfer policies and, like AWS, those policies can change at any time. Companies should understand their options before making large, committed purchases and build contingency plans in case their actual usage diverges from their projections—or if resale policies change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The bottom line is that reselling unused reserved cloud instances is far more complicated than it sounds. The market is not as open as it once was, the options are limited, and the providers themselves hold most of the cards. My client got burned, and I doubt they will be the only one. Companies that want to optimize their cloud spending should focus on accurate forecasting, thoughtful commitment sizing, and ongoing optimization rather than relying on resale as a safety valve. That approach worked at one point, but those days are largely gone.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you ask us in an official setting, our official position is that software engineering norms still apply. Rigorous CI/CD pipelines, elegant architectural patterns, and an unyielding commitment to maintainable code remain the standard. We will use weighty words like “determinism,” “scalability,” “idempotency,” and “domain-driven design.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But behind closed doors, late at night, bathed in the glow of a dark-mode IDE, a different and more sordid reality is exposed. Hunched over the console with a manic gleam in the eye, the programmer has become power-drunk on <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2335213/large-language-models-the-foundations-of-generative-ai.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2335213/large-language-models-the-foundations-of-generative-ai.html">LLMs</a>. Like mad wizards casting spells, we summon the awesome powers of models and agents to satisfy our every programming whim—and commit acts of software engineering that would make <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Brooks">Fred Brooks</a> blush.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s just be honest about what is actually happening.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Esoteric knowledge is superfluous</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Forget <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2335255/what-is-object-oriented-programming-the-everyday-programming-style.html">OOP</a> and <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2263963/what-is-functional-programming-a-practical-guide.html">FP</a>. Forget the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP_theorem">CAP theorem</a>, the holy crusade of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself">DRY</a>, and the design patterns. Honestly, you can even forget what frameworks, runtimes, and deployment platforms you are using. The AI will figure out what is best to use and understand what is already in place. We have more mental bandwidth for working on our side project (a novel about AI taking over the world). </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, I exaggerate. A little.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The docs are dead to us</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We still say RTFM, but the truth is, we haven’t really read a page of vendor documentation since 2023. <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/3993482/ai-didnt-kill-stack-overflow.html">Stack Overflow</a>, once our Internet Mecca, is a husk. When a package throws a weird exception, we don’t trace the execution path or read the release notes. We highlight the red text, copy the entire 200-line stack trace, dump it into the chat, and wait for the machine to spoon-feed us the solution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Better yet, we just have the agentic IDE spot the error, divine a solution, and ask us if it’s OK. We might glance at the problem-solution description, if we have gone around the circle on the problem for a few cycles. Maybe. If we don’t have the agent set up for auto-confirm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We used to buy heavy tomes like “Rust In Action” that were more like masonry blocks than literature. Now? We just ask an AI to transliterate our JavaScript logic into Rust. We are no longer engineers methodically learning a system. We are glorified copy-paste orchestrators hoping that the stochastic parrot behind the prompt guesses the syntax correctly.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">We ignore how the back end is wired</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We act like we meticulously designed the data flows, carefully crafted the relational constraints, and mindfully mapped the API relationships. The reality is rather more disturbing: We asked the AI to scaffold a modern deployment, hooked it up to a back-end database, and just sort of… ran it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It created security rules we don’t fully understand. They do seem to work, however, which is nice. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It generated a schema that we skimmed for about four seconds. It looks reasonable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It wrote <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2259359/what-is-infrastructure-as-code-automating-your-infrastructure-builds.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2259359/what-is-infrastructure-as-code-automating-your-infrastructure-builds.html">infrastructure-as-code</a> scripts that provisioned cloud resources we are hoping don’t blow a hole in the budget. Presumably, whoever is in charge of that will manage it by stuffing the metrics into another chatbot.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We nodded, committed the code, and went to lunch. If management asked us to manually deploy the stack from scratch, configure the environment variables, and wire the API routes without our chat window, we would give them a vacant stare.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We understand that management is also using AI to manage the project.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Our tests are uncomfortably incestuous</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Test-driven development (TDD) used to be a beautiful dream, ever just beyond reach. It made us feel glorious and despondent at turns. It would burden us with sprawling dependencies if implemented too religiously. (See <a href="https://grugbrain.dev/#grug-on-testing">The Grug Brained Developer</a> in this regard.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But now we can attain 95% test coverage almost effortlessly. Why not just add them in while we are auto-generating everything else?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We can now wax at length to anyone who will listen about our astounding test coverage and our automated quality assurance. Unit tests, integration tests, smoke tests, you name it. What we conveniently leave out is that the AI wrote the complex application logic, and then we asked <em>the exact same AI</em> to write the test suite to validate the code it just dreamed up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is a hermetically sealed loop of algorithmic self-congratulation. The mocks, the edge case, and the assertions are an echo chamber of the model’s original assumptions. The machine is grading its own homework, giving itself an A+.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And we are happy to accept this because, beautifully, when the code has to change, the AI will effortlessly hallucinate new tests to adapt to the churn.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">We pass off the AI’s architecture as strategy</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI can produce astonishing design documents. Truly breathtaking. They are cogent, they’re beautifully formatted, and they seamlessly bridge the gap between high-level business goals and granular technical specs. They even include those auto-generated sequence diagrams that wow management.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When we present these spotless architectural proposals in the Tuesday sprint planning meeting, we lean back, take a long sip of coffee, and humbly wave away the team’s praise.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What we don’t mention is that we spent exactly four seconds generating it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are these AI-generated documents just as liable as human ones to hide severe, mortal flaws in scope and alignment? Absolutely. They might contain a foundational logic bomb that will eventually doom the entire project. But the markdown is so crisp, and the bullet points are so persuasive, that the eye just glides right over it. We will never truly know the depth of the disaster until it is far too late. But hey, we’ll burn that bridge when production catches fire. Until then, we are strategic visionaries.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">We’re addicted to vibe coding (but only in secret)</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We loudly mock the term on social media. We roll our eyes in Slack channels when the kids on TikTok talk about <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/4078884/what-is-vibe-coding-ai-writes-the-code-so-developers-can-think-big.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.infoworld.com/article/4078884/what-is-vibe-coding-ai-writes-the-code-so-developers-can-think-big.html">vibe coding</a> their new startups. We fiercely cling to our identities as hardened, serious developers who understand memory management, garbage collection, and bitwise operators. We are professionals, damn it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But late at night, when the managers are asleep and no one is looking? We absolutely love it. We love just throwing a chaotic, half-baked thought at the canvas, pouring a drink, and watching the AI magically build a functioning user interface based entirely on our long-deferred whims. I may finally build that working <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_V%3A_Warriors_of_Destiny" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_V%3A_Warriors_of_Destiny">Ultima V</a> clone. The thrill of typing “Create an app that tracks my cryptocurrency portfolio but makes it look like the interface from Neuromancer” and having it appear 30 seconds later is heady stuff.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The more deeply rooted in the hard, old-school realities of programming, the more profound is the joy the developer finds in the possibility of AI coding. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">We beat the problem into submission with prompts</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like Adam Sandler in “Uncut Gems,” we are convinced the next round will fix everything. This is us with prompts. When things are going really off the rails, instead of putting our boots on and wading into the brambles of complexity, we resort to tonal adjustments. These range from the condescending: </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This problem is not fixed. Look at it closely. The error is right here.</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To the desperate: </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have been working on this same problem for hours now!</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To the pathetic: </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can’t you find a different approach to try?!</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The astonishing part? It often works.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there is no poetry left at the bottom of the rabbit hole; it is verbal warfare. When the context window collapses, when the regressions start cascading, and when the AI stubbornly refuses to follow the most basic rules of temporal logic, the mask of professionalism drops away and something far more atavistic makes its appearance. We stop asking nicely, stop trying to understand the why, delete the pleasantries, and capslock our intent.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What we have here is a failure to communicate! </p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We feed the same failing stack trace back into the prompt over and over and over again, aggressively hammering the constraints, explicitly forbidding certain libraries, and pasting in release notes just to confirm that the AI lacks the latest APIs. We force the model down a narrower and narrower path until the code finally stops throwing errors. We don’t actually debug anymore, trace variables, or step through functions. We just apply relentless, iterative pressure until the machine surrenders. We beat it into submission. And then, we push to production.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In fact, there is a real skill here—a sheer “will to completion” that remains in the act of building software. We invest just as much time, energy, and heart wrestling the bot as we ever did emitting syntax.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A blacker box</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The only profession more given over to using AI like a cursed Level 13 artifact than programming is writing. Writing of course is far more open to public scrutiny than code.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And while my tongue has been firmly in my cheek here, my faith in coders as good guys makes me more curious to see what we create than troubled by the dangers. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was once the case that only other programmers could understand what programmers were doing, what they were producing. Now not even that is true. Only the machine knows what the machine is doing. We just keep it tethered to our aims. Hopefully.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the CSO grows in prominence, security leaders are increasingly earning a seat at the executive table, reporting directly to the CEO with the expectation to help drive business strategy and ensure organizational success.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reporting to the CEO unlocks greater access and influence for security leaders, and while CSOs who report to their organization’s CIO still have clout, it’s a very different experience picking up the phone to speak directly with the CEO as a strategic partner.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regardless of reporting structure, CSOs must clearly understand what they are being tasked to solve. That might sound simple, but making the leap to being a CEO’s direct report requires a new perspective, a different set of skills, and a business-level focus on metrics to do so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We asked several current CSOs, CEOs, and IT staffing experts for advice on how security executives can best navigate a direct reporting relationship with their CEO. Offering insights below are <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgegerchow/">George Gerchow</a>, CSO at Bedrock Data and member of the IANS faculty; <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattchiodi/">Matt Chiodi</a>, CSO of Cerby; <a href="https://www.cyderes.com/company/about/chris-schueler">Chris Schueler</a>, CEO at Cyderes; and <a href="https://www.skillsoft.com/blog-authors/greg-fuller">Greg Fuller</a>, vice president of the Technology Skills Suite at Skillsoft.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Understand how the CEO views your role</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most CEOs expect that, when you report directly to them, you fully own your functional area. Whether it’s cybersecurity, operations, or finance, they look to you as the expert in that domain. The CEO may have opinions, but ultimately, you are expected to lead and provide direction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">CEOs expect their CSO to be a <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4159317/cisos-reshape-their-roles-as-business-risk-strategists.html">true strategic partner</a>, not just a risk reporter — connecting cybersecurity to revenue protection, regulatory compliance, customer trust, and operational resilience. In turn, CSOs should expect CEOs to treat governance as a strategic enabler, not a bureaucratic necessity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Power up on skills vital to your organization at an executive level</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the technology side, AI and machine learning, cloud security, incident response, zero trust architecture, and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) are the areas where threats evolve fastest and strategic leadership has the greatest impact. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Equally important are “power skills”: communication, critical thinking, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. The ability to <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4186984/6-security-leader-tips-for-mastering-business-risk.html">translate complex risk into business terms</a> is what separates a strong CSO from a purely technical one. Skills, not titles, define effectiveness in the eyes of a CEO.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Take advantage of your direct access</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Direct access to the CEO will enable you to influence strategy, <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/3855823/how-cisos-can-balance-business-continuity-with-other-responsibilities.html">shape resilience planning</a>, and ensure <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4080670/what-does-aligning-security-to-the-business-really-mean.html">cybersecurity is treated as a business imperative</a> rather than a cost center. That authority is strongest when the CEO understands cybersecurity as a strategic lever, not just a technical function. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While a direct reporting relationship gives you access to the CEO, it also comes with the responsibility to operate at that level. You need to provide clear, executive-level visibility into your cybersecurity program.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Brush up on business translation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4002753/cisos-reposition-their-roles-for-business-leadership.html">CSO who leads with business alignment</a> will always carry more influence when they can translate risk into business language rather than technical jargon. Building programs that must survive an IPO, a FedRAMP audit, and real customer scrutiny forces you to tie security to revenue and trust.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most valuable skill is translation — defining technical risk in terms of executive action and business impact that a CEO and a board can act on. You must build trust through transparency. These are the human skills that complement technology, creating a collaborative human-AI dynamic where leaders make faster, better-informed decisions. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Treat conversations as risk assessment opportunities</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Highly effective security leaders treat every business conversation as a risk conversation in disguise. That mindset is what largely separates a great CSO from a great technologist. Earn the CEO’s trust by speaking business first, security second. Translate every risk into revenue, reputation, or regulatory exposure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Remember, a good CEO wants a translator, not an alarm system. They expect no surprises, a clear read on the risks that matter, and a security leader who helps the <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4021179/8-tough-trade-offs-every-ciso-must-navigate.html">business move faster rather than slowing it down</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Define what a successful relationship should look like and put it in writing</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regardless of the reporting relationship, start by defining the end goal and putting it in writing. It will evolve over time, but having that initial clarity is critical. This is especially important when you’re new in a role and aiming to make your first 60, 90, or 120 days, and your first year, successful. In such cases, it’s essential to align early.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do that collaboratively, and document it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. Prioritize trust and candor</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The CEO needs to trust that the CSO isn’t sandbagging, and the CSO needs enough psychological safety to deliver bad news fast. When those conditions exist, security becomes a strategic asset — not a cost center.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To that end, focus on clear communication above all, and present yourself as part of a team, not a solo player. Stay calm under pressure during incidents, and treat people as peers rather than policing them. The leaders who last build trust before they need it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">8. Treat governance as a strategic competitive advantage</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The strongest partnerships also share a commitment to governance as a competitive advantage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Governance is the brakes that let you drive fast safely. When a CSO and CEO are aligned on that principle, the organization can innovate with AI while <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4176485/the-ai-governance-imperative-you-cant-afford-to-ignore-2.html">maintaining oversight and protecting against unnecessary risk</a>. The result is an organization that does not just react to threats but builds resilience into how it operates.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">9. Set clear goals and measure progress</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Setting clear goals and measuring progress against those goals is essential. When expectations are clear, the areas you need to focus on become much clearer. It doesn’t solve every problem, but aligning early with your leadership, whether that’s a CEO or a CIO, can significantly reduce the pressure you may feel.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, never let your boss be surprised. This is where being clear on goals and consistently tracking both leading and lagging metrics becomes especially important, particularly in a direct reporting relationship with the CEO.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">10. Be willing to endure challenge and discomfort</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, persistence and a willingness to endure discomfort for something that matters more than the pain itself are critical to surviving in this relationship. The role of a cybersecurity leader is often thankless. If you’re doing your job well, no one really notices.</p>

<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/shutterstock_editorial_2338803257.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="Anthropic and Claude" class="wp-image-2096337" width="1024" height="576" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Claude Mythos steht immer mehr Unternehmen testweise zur Verfügung. Doch was genau steckt in Anthropics neuestem Modell?</p></figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">T. Schneider / Shutterstock</p></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Was ist Claude Mythos?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Claude Mythos ist ein KI-Modell, das von Anthropic entwickelt wurde und für Anwendungen in den Bereichen Cybersicherheit und Gesundheitswesen optimiert ist. Ursprünglich wurde Mythos 5 im April einer kleinen Gruppe geprüfter Technologiepartner zugänglich gemacht – im Vorfeld eines geplanten, breiter angelegten Rollouts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zu diesem Zweck rief das KI-Unternehmen das <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4156536/wie-claude-mythos-die-it-sicherheit-veraendert.html">Projekt „Glasswing“</a> ins Leben, ein Konsortium, das Infrastrukturanbietern, Open-Source-Entwicklern und großen Technologieunternehmen einen begrenzten, kontrollierten Zugriff zu Mythos gewährt. Ziel der Initiative ist es, Verteidigern zu ermöglichen, Schwachstellen schneller aufzuspüren und zu beheben, als Angreifer sie identifizieren können. Das erscheint auch dringend notwendig, setzen diese doch zunehmend selbst auf <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4193820/ki-fuhrt-eigenstandig-cyber-attacken-aus.html">KI-gestützte Werkzeuge</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Über welche Fähigkeiten verfügt Claude Mythos?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die ersten 50 Partner von Project Glasswing konnten mithilfe von Mythos mehr als 10.000 Schwachstellen mit hohem oder kritischem Schweregrad in allen gängigen Betriebssystemen und Webbrowsern aufspüren.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So identifizierte das Modell Sicherheitslücken, die selbst den fähigsten Sicherheitsforschern jahrelang entgangen waren – etwa einen 27 Jahre alten Fehler in OpenBSD. Zudem hat Mythos bewiesen, dass es mehrere Schwachstellen miteinander verknüpfen kann.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wie schränkt Anthropic den Zugang zu Claude Mythos ein?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anthropic teilte bei der Vorstellung von Claude Mythos mit, es schränke die Verfügbarkeit des Spitzen-KI-Modells bewusst ein, da dessen Fähigkeiten von Angreifern leicht missbraucht werden könnten.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Im Juni wurde die Technologie dann für weitere 150 Organisationen freigegeben. Alle Mythos-Partner müssen hierbei aber zustimmen, dass ihre Daten 30 Tage lang zu Sicherheitsüberwachungszwecken gespeichert werden.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Am 15. Juni verhängte die Trump-Regierung allerdings Exportbeschränkungen für <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4183094/anthropic-releases-mythos-class-fable-5-model-with-safeguards-for-cyber-risks.html" target="_blank">Claude Fable 5</a> und Claude Mythos 5. Diese sollten ausländischen Staatsangehörigen sowohl innerhalb als auch außerhalb der USA den Zugang verwehren. Am 30. Juni wurden die Beschränkungen jedoch bereits wieder aufgehoben.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Was ist Claude Fable?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Für einen breiteren Einsatzbereich bietet Anthropic Claude Fable 5 an. Das Modell basiert auf derselben technischen Grundlage wie Mythos. Es verfügt jedoch über strenge Sicherheitsmechanismen, die den Betrieb in als „riskant“ eingestuften Bereichen der Cybersicherheit einschränken. Alle als problematisch deklarierten Anfragen werden stattdessen automatisch an das ältere und weniger leistungsfähige Large Language Model (LLM) Opus 4.8 weitergeleitet.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wie nutzen Security-Partner von Anthropic den Zugriff auf Mythos?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco, einer der Projekt-Glasswing-Partner, hat seine „<a href="https://blogs.cisco.com/ai/announcing-foundry-security-spec" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Foundry Security Spec</a>“ als Open-Source-Lösung veröffentlicht. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein modellunabhängiges Framework für Sicherheitstests, das es anderen Anbietern und Sicherheitsexperten in Unternehmen ermöglichen soll, ähnliche Arbeitsabläufe zu entwickeln, ohne bei Null anfangen zu müssen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vor kurzem betonten Vertreter von Cisco auf einer Online-Veranstaltung, dass Verteidiger KI nutzen können, um Sicherheitsprobleme wesentlich schneller und in größerem Umfang zu identifizieren, zu bestätigen und zu beheben. Ältere Modelle, die nach dem Prinzip „eine Schwachstelle finden und patchen“ funktionieren, seien nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Dies liege daran, dass Angreifer KI einsetzen, um den Weg von der Entdeckung einer Schwachstelle bis zu deren Ausnutzung zu beschleunigen. Cisco wiederum setzt KI intern bereits in der Defensive ein, um 1,8 Milliarden Zeilen Code im gesamten Produktportfolio zu scannen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gleichzeitig betonen die Experten, dass kleinere Unternehmen keinen Zugriff auf eingeschränkte KI-Modelle benötigen, um ihre Sicherheit zu verbessern. In solchen Betrieben lasse sich stattdessen mehr erreichen, indem grundlegende Sicherheitsmaßnahmen optimiert werden. Hierzu zählen laut Cisco unter anderem Authentifizierung, Netzwerk-Segmentierung, Zero Trust und die Behebung aktiv ausgenutzter Schwachstellen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bieten andere KI-Anbieter etwas Vergleichbares zu Claude Mythos an?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mythos ist das prominenteste Beispiel für Frontier-KI-Modelle. Mit ihnen kann die Suche nach Zero-Day-Lücken in einem Tempo und Ausmaß automatisiert werden, die weit über die Fähigkeiten menschlicher Teams hinausgeht.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Allerdings arbeiten auch etliche andere Anbieter an hochleistungsfähigen, auf Sicherheit ausgerichteten „Frontier“-KI-Modellen. Zudem gibt es andere leistungsstarke Open-Source-Modelle, die sich problemlos für die Cybersicherheitsforschung nutzen lassen. Claude Mythos ist also bei weitem nicht die einzige verfügbare Option.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So werden beispielsweise die Modelle GPT-5.4-Cyber sowie GPT-5.5 von OpenAI genutzt, um Schwachstellen zu erkennen und zu analysieren. Auch in der Malware-Analyse und der Bedrohungsmodellierung kommen sie zum Einsatz. Zugang zu diesen Technologien können Sicherheitsanbieter, Unternehmen und Forscher über das Programm „Trusted Access for Cyber“ (TAC) von OpenAI erhalten.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zusätzlich hat das chinesische <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/chinas-360-says-it-has-developed-tools-match-anthropics-mythos-2026-06-24/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cybersicherheitsunternehmen 360 Security Technology mit Tulongfeng</a> ein System entwickelt, das als Gegenstück zu Anthropics „Mythos“ beschrieben wird.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Privat lassen sich leistungsstarke offene Modelle – darunter DeepSeek V3.2 von DeepSeek und Llama 4 von Meta – auf GPU-Infrastrukturen betreiben und in der Cybersicherheitsforschung einsetzen. Fugu des japanischen Anbieters Sakana AI ist eine weitere Option in dieser Kategorie.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Was kritisieren Cybersicherheitsexperten an Claude Mythos?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kritiker aus dem Cybersecurity-Bereich räumen ein, dass Claude Mythos zweifellos hochentwickelt sei. Die Marketing-Behauptung, wonach es zuverlässig produktive IT-Systeme lahmlegen könne, übersteige jedoch die tatsächlichen Fähigkeiten.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Darüber hinaus beklagen sich Sicherheitsexperten – <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx0CpTp3Q4Y" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">etwa in Podcasts</a> – über die übertrieben restriktiven Sicherheitsmechanismen von Claude Fable: Bereits Anfragen, einen sicherheitsrelevanten Blogbeitrag zusammenzufassen oder sogar das Wort „Exploit“ zu buchstabieren, würden auf das deutlich schwächere Modell Opus 4.8 zurückgestuft. Dadurch würden selbst alltägliche Aufgaben in der Informationssicherheit unnötig erschwert.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Andere Experten warnen davor, dass Frontier-KI-Modelle anfällig für False Positives seien. Eher grundsätzlich ist die Kritik, dass das schnellere Aufspüren von mehr Schwachstellen das eigentliche Problem nicht löst, nämlich zuverlässig Sicherheitslücken zu beheben oder nicht-technische Angriffsvektoren wie Social Engineering zu verhindern.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wie sollten CISOs auf Mythos reagieren?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Nachrichtendienste der „Five Eyes“ (USA, Großbritannien, Kanada, Australien und Neuseeland) <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2026-06/Five-Eyes-cyber-security-agencies-statement-ai-shift.pdf"></a> warnen davor, dass hochmoderne KI-Modelle wie Claude Mythos „sowohl offensive als auch defensive Cyber-Fähigkeiten grundlegend verändern werden“ – und zwar in einem Zeitraum von Monaten statt Jahren.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">„Während KI uns dabei helfen wird, die Cyberabwehr im Laufe der Zeit zu verbessern, erhöht sie zugleich Geschwindigkeit, Ausmaß und Raffinesse von Cyberbedrohungen“, heißt es in der Erklärung der Gruppe. Unternehmen sollen daher KI nutzen, um ihre Abwehrmechanismen im Rahmen umfassenderer Strategien zur Stärkung der Cybersicherheits-Resilienz zu verbessern.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die meisten Unternehmen seien jedoch bei weitem noch nicht darauf vorbereitet, was dies für ihre Bedrohungsmodelle bedeutet, warnt ein Experte. „Wir verfügen heute über KI-Systeme, die realistische Angriffswege über Software, Anbieter und kritische Infrastrukturen hinweg schneller abbilden können, als menschliche Angreifer sie erfassen können“, erläutert <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jhubback/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Hubback</a>, Partner und CISO beim Beratungsunternehmen Elixirr sowie ehemaliger McKinsey-Partner. Dadurch, dass „Fähigkeiten der ‚Mythos-Klasse‘ vor der breiten kommerziellen Einführung stünden, handle es sich nicht mehr um „ein Nischenproblem der Forschung“, ergänzt er. Vielmehr sei es jetzt ein Faktor, den jedes Unternehmen in sein Bedrohungsmodell einbeziehen müsse, so der Experte.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Auch ein <a href="https://labs.cloudsecurityalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/mythosready-20260413.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bericht der Cloud Security Alliance</a> warnt davor, dass KI die Zeitspanne zwischen der Entdeckung einer Schwachstelle und deren Ausnutzung drastisch verkürzt habe. Damit seien herkömmliche Sicherheitsmodelle, die auf „Patchen und Reagieren“ basieren, überholt. Unternehmen sollten sich vielmehr auf anhaltende Wellen von Schwachstellen einstellen, die durch „Project Glasswing“ und andere Quellen mittels KI aufgedeckt werden.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">„Die bei Mythos beobachteten Fähigkeiten werden schon bald breiter verfügbar sein. Dadurch wird sich die Anzahl sowie Häufigkeit komplexer, neuartiger Angriffe, denen sich Unternehmen gegenübersehen, drastisch erhöhen“, heißt es in der Warnung. Sicherheitsverantwortliche müssten daher ihre Verteidigungsstrategien auf einen „Mythos-ready“-Ansatz umstellen, der auf kontinuierlichem Schwachstellenmanagement, schnellerer Priorisierung und verbesserter Reaktion auf Sicherheitsvorfälle basiert.

<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Arista Networks is looking to simplify data protection at the edge of enterprise networks with a new security package that combines branch office security with SD-WAN connectivity in a single platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company announced AI-driven <a href="https://edge.arista.com/edge-threat-management/">Edge Threat Management</a> (ETM) for VeloCloud SD-WAN, a platform that links typically separate products and capabilities including Arista’s next-generation firewall, IP reputation, external blocklists, intrusion prevention, URL filtering, application classification, geo-IP filtering, network address translation, deep packet inspection, and zone-based segmentation. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ETM provides perimeter protection at the WAN edge and is a software upgrade option to VeloCloud SD-WAN, according to Arista. It can help simplify branch operations with a common operating system, a uniform enforcement engine, and common end-to-end security policies, the vendor stated. The new ETM solution also leverages Arista’s AVA (Autonomous Virtual Assist) for AI-driven policy intelligence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Multi-vendor branch complexity creates the ultimate blind spot, and your adversaries are actively hiding in it,” wrote <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendangibbs1/">Brendan Gibbs</a>, Arista’s vice president, AI, routing, and switching platforms, in a <a href="https://blogs.arista.com/blog/the-unified-edge-for-a-secure-branch">blog post</a> about the new platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sprawling multi-vendor infrastructure creates operational headaches and increases security risks, according to Gibbs. “When you have four or five different point solutions from different vendors stacked on top of each other, configuring them becomes a manual, disjointed process. In fact, industry data shows that up to 95% of network changes are still performed manually, which inevitably leads to configuration mistakes, the single biggest driver of network downtime and security policy gaps,” he wrote. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“When security policies are decoupled from local network routing, critical blind spots emerge. An attacker doesn’t need to break your cloud-delivered SASE firewall; they just need to target the unmonitored local traffic gaps between your Wi-Fi AP, your LAN switch, and your SD-WAN edge router,” Gibbs wrote.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ETM is integrated into VeloCloud Orchestrator as a dedicated enterprise application. “This enables security operators to configure policies that build on the same source of shared network configuration while maintaining a dedicated management console for security policy configuration, provisioning, and reporting,” Arista <a href="https://www.arista.com/assets/data/pdf/Datasheets/Arista-VeloCloud-SD-WAN-Edge-Threat-Management-Data-Sheet.pdf">stated</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ETM security policies are managed in VeloCloud Orchestrator. “Admins can build and assign reusable policies consisting of predefined objects and templates. This design makes updating security policies possible by a few simple clicks, while the associated changes are propagated throughout the network within minutes,” Arista stated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">VeloCloud Orchestrator is the central management, configuration, and monitoring hub for VeloCloud SD-WAN and SASE networks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition, VeloCloud edge routers collect threat intelligence data from a variety of sources to determine in real-time the trustworthiness and identity of hosts inside and outside the network. Through integration with <a href="https://www.arista.com/assets/data/pdf/Datasheets/Arista-NDR-Datasheet.pdf">Arista Network Detection and Response</a> and other web-based dynamic lists, administrators can identify suspicious hosts and build policies to block potentially harmful activities, the <a href="https://www.arista.com/assets/data/pdf/Datasheets/Arista-VeloCloud-SD-WAN-Edge-Threat-Management-Data-Sheet.pdf">vendor stated</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Integration with Arista’s AVA policy assistant is aimed at simplifying management of branch security policies. AVA continuously analyzes configuration states and translates complex, multi-site security rules into plain English, Gibbs explained. For example, NetOps administrators can use AI with Ask AVA to predict “how specific traffic will be handled before committing to a deployment, preventing manual configuration errors that leave branches exposed,” Gibbs wrote.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Arista also touted support for network-wide segmentation policies. “The flexible security policy configuration within the Edge Threat Management policy management extends the security coverage from the data center to the branch,” the vendor stated. “Security operations administrators can build access policies that are enforced across a distributed network. The centralized design enables admins to configure and deploy consistent zone based policies across the entire distributed network.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ETM is a significant addition to the Arista VeloCloud portfolio. Arista <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4016270/arista-buys-velocloud-to-reboot-sd-wans-amid-ai-infrastructure-shift.html">bought</a> the VeloCloud SD-WAN platform from Broadcom a year ago and has been promising new technologies that expand the platform. ETM also could further the vendor’s <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4111354/arista-rides-ai-wave-but-battle-for-campus-networks-looms.html">stated plans to expand beyond its data center networking roots</a> and compete more broadly with enterprise networking vendors such as Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, and Fortinet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the SASE and SD-WAN world, vendors such as Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cato Networks, and Versa Networks are among the most balanced suppliers, with both SD-WAN and SSE contributing meaningful revenue streams, according to a recently published <a href="https://www.delloro.com/news/sase-1q-2026-revenue-climbs-21-percent-to-over-3-b-driven-by-ai-governance/">report</a> from Dell’Oro Group.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We forecast that SASE will remain on a double-digit growth path in 2026, with SSE-first rollouts remaining the most common entry point, and SD-WAN supported by branch modernization, software attach, and branch security refresh,” Dell Oro stated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“AI is changing the SASE discussion from access and inspection to governance, data protection, and control over agents and machine traffic,” Mauricio Sanchez, senior director, enterprise security and networking at Dell’Oro Group, stated in the report. “A 21 percent Y/Y quarter shows that SASE is not waiting for a future AI refresh cycle; it is already absorbing the early security and networking requirements created by AI adoption,” Sanchez added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ETM for VeloCloud SD-WAN will be available in Q4 of 2026 and will be available for all current VeloCloud hardware and virtual edge platforms.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Longtime Slashdot reader williamyf writes: FireFox 153 was released today. The most important user-facing changes are improvements to PDF handling (you can now merge PDFs and add images to them), and HDR video playback (on Windows, provided HDR is active systemwide). Other under-the-hood changes include browser-wide containers and QWAC support. The full list is in the change notes.

 But the most important feature is that this version is an ESR and, therefore, defines the ESR feature set for the next year. Why is being an ESR so important, you ask?

 1.) ESR, rather than "normal" (a.k.a. Rapid Release), Firefox is the out-of-the-box browser for many important distros, including Debian, RHEL, Kali, Tails, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Slackware, and others.

 2.) Many organizations, large and small, standardize on Firefox ESR as their default browser, regardless of the default browser included with their OS.

 3.) Firefox ESR is the basis for many downstream projects, such as Waterfox and KaiOS. All these projects will inherit, for a year, whatever ESR brings to the table today.

 4.) Many ISVs and SaaS providers, if they certify their wares for Firefox at all, certify for the ESR version only.

 Please note that ESR 153 will not be offered as an automatic update until two months from now (ESR 140 will still be supported). If you want it now, you will need to download and install it manually.

 Also of note, ESR 115 will be supported until March 2027. If you use an unsupported version of macOS or Windows (like Windows 7 or 8.x), this is the version to get. However, even Mozilla cautions against running a supported browser on an unsupported OS: "Note that Microsoft ended official support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 in January 2023. Unsupported operating systems receive no security updates and have known vulnerabilities. Without official support from Microsoft, maintaining Firefox for outdated operating systems becomes costly for Mozilla and risky for users."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HireQuotient, an AI-native recruiting platform, today announced its integration with Paylocity (Nasdaq: PCTY), bringing AI-powered candidate sourcing and screening capabilities to Paylocity customers in manufacturing, building services, construction, healthcare and insurance, which are industries where deskless and frontline hiring has historically been underserved by AI recruiting tools.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Employers in these sectors who already use HireQuotient are seeing the impact firsthand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“By simply putting in vetting criteria, I was able to get a very specific talent pool within a day,” said Niki Simoneaux, COO of Arc Health. “With EasySource, we can reach a huge database or filter for specific licenses and areas.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“With technology and the ability to work remotely, we’re able to recruit nationwide outside of our footprint. This expands the pool of prospective candidates and gives us access to candidates who might not have ever applied for a position on our website’s career page,” said Jeff McGee, vice president at W3 Insurance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“HireQuotient’s AI-native product helped my team at Alliance Building Services to cut down time to close position by more than 60%, and their team works very closely with the client to ensure adoption at scale,” said Willow Marcon, senior vice president at Alliance Building Services.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recruiters in manufacturing, building services, construction, healthcare and insurance often spend more than two-thirds of their time on manual work and using over 10 platforms to just close a hire: sourcing a wide range of profiles, skimming resumes, finding contact information, reaching out and doing hundreds of calls and constant follow-ups. That fragmented process leads to recruiter burnout and leaves gaps in candidate data. Because most HR platforms don’t offer built-in AI native agents that work in tandem to do all it takes to close the hire, employers in these industries have faced hiring delays and platform churn.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The partnership addresses this gap by integrating HireQuotient’s EasySource platform directly into the Paylocity ecosystem. Instead of relying on rigid keyword searches, EasySource identifies strong talent pools, screens for role-specific credentials and licenses and personalizes outreach by phone and email. For mid-market companies with 500 to 1,000 employees, that translates to a 70% faster time-to-hire and an estimated $100,000 in annual savings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The integration also closes the feedback loop for employers. By feeding post-hire data back into the recruiting system, EasySource learns from successful hires to build smarter talent pools over time, while keeping recruiters engaged longer by freeing them to focus on the human side of hiring.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gokul Rajaram, board member at Coinbase and former board member of The Trade Desk (Nasdaq: TTD), and also known as the godfather of Google AdSense, said, “Smarthveer is one of those rare founders who picks an unglamorous, deeply underserved market and refuses to leave until it’s fixed. Frontline hiring is exactly that market. Being named to Paylocity’s elite partner network is a testament to his relentlessness and to the team he’s built. Excited for what’s ahead.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Paylocity maintains an elite partner network, so being named one of them is a testament to the strength of our product,” said Smarthveer Sidana, founder and CEO of HireQuotient. “By keeping that recruiting activity inside the Paylocity ecosystem, we’re helping them close a critical gap for their employers, capture revenue that previously sat outside their platform, and prevent the client churn that comes with a fragmented hiring process.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jim Moffatt, former global CEO of Deloitte Consulting and board partner at Greycroft VC, said, </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This is a big milestone for Smarthveer and his team. I congratulate them on this big win. Paylocity’s large client base acts as a strong distribution, and HireQuotient’s EasySource acts as a strong product to cater to the needs of Paylocity’s clients. Paylocity is known for its highly selective approach, and I’m glad to see that after months of evaluation and extensive due diligence, they’re going live with HireQuotient’s EasySource. I feel confident in the value this partnership will create for frontline industries. I remember when Smarthveer spoke to me about it in December, and it felt very ambitious. I’m glad to see it turn to reality.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For employers with a traditionally deskless workforce in industries where AI adoption has lagged, the integration bridges a major capability gap by allowing them to source, screen, onboard and manage payroll all in one place.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD has expanded its AI infrastructure portfolio with the launch of Helios, an open, rackscale AI infrastructure designed for frontier AI and sovereign computing. Helios is built around AMD’s next-generation Instinct GPUs, EPYC Venice processors, Pensando networking and the ROCm software stack.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Helios is AMD’s first complete AI rack system with GPUs, CPUs, and networking built together, instead of selling separate chips. It is well suited for training large AI models, memory heavy models, long context processing and high volume inference, and AMD’s biggest shot yet at challenging Nvidia’s dominance,” said Pareekh Jain, CEO at EIIRTrend &amp; Pareekh Consulting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD has also secured an early hyperscale deployment for Helios with <a href="https://newsroom.amd.com/news/microsoft-azure-ai-infrastructure/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Microsoft</a> agreeing to deploy it to power its frontier model AI inference, its AI customers, and support Azure AI services.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The architecture behind Helios</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The launch of Helios marks AMD’s latest attempt to strengthen its position in a market where Nvidia continues to dominate AI infrastructure. Unlike previous AMD AI offerings centred on individual accelerators, Helios is designed as a complete rack-scale system integrating compute, networking and software.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Jain, Helios goes up against Nvidia’s <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4188058/nvidia-unveils-vera-rubin-platform-targeting-ai-hpc-infrastructure-customers.html?utm=hybrid_search">Vera Rubin</a> rack. “Nvidia is faster on raw inference speed and has a faster internal connection between chips whereas AMD wins on memory size and offers better value for the price and power used. It’s standout feature is memory, where each rack packs about 50% more total memory than Nvidia’s competing system, which helps run very large AI models. It also uses open, industry-standard connections instead of Nvidia’s private technology, giving buyers more flexibility,” he said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The AMD Helios rackscale design includes 72 AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs with AMD EPYC Venice CPUs and AMD Pensando Vulcano networking using UALink, optimized for compute, data movement, and system efficiency. The platform also supports both OCP and MX data types, delivering up to 2.9 EFLOPS of FP4 and 1.4 EFLOPS of FP8 compute for AI training and inference. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It also integrates 31TB of HBM4 memory with 19.6TB/s of memory bandwidth, while a liquid-cooling design uses quick-disconnect connections to efficiently dissipate heat. It is designed on open standards including OCP Open Rack Wide (ORW), <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4155357/new-v2-ualink-specification-aims-to-catch-up-to-nvlink.html?utm=hybrid_search">Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink)</a>, and <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4006285/ultra-ethernet-consortium-publishes-1-0-specification-readies-ethernet-for-hpc-ai.html?utm=hybrid_search">Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC)</a> and can be scaled efficiently across datacenters while optimizing power, cooling, and serviceability for modern AI infrastructure, <a href="https://www.amd.com/en/products/rackscale-solutions/helios.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> the company.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the security front, Helios incorporates a hardware root of trust and continuous attestation at every layer. It supports hardware-enforced isolation, encrypted memory and interconnects to help protect AI models, data and workloads in multi-tenant environments.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The software challenge</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the launch of Helios might help AMD close the hardware gap with Nvidia’s rack-scale systems, it will be the software compatibility that will be the real driver of enterprise adoption.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For this, AMD is expanding its ROCm AI software platform too, which supports frameworks including PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX, for enabling high-throughput inference and efficient distributed training while preserving familiar developer workflows.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jain stated While hardware parity or superiority in memory bandwidth is achievable, software maturity remains the key differentiator for Nvidia. The Nvidia’s <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4079693/quantum-circuits-brings-dual-rail-qubits-to-nvidias-cuda-q-development-platform.html?utm=hybrid_search">CUDA</a> software has a 15-20 year head start, and almost every AI tool, tutorial, and codebase defaults to it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He added software has been AMD’s weak spot. AMD has improved  ROCm a lot but it still lags behind on the newest, most specialized optimizations, and setup is more complicated. For everyday AI work, ROCm is usable but for cutting-edge performance, CUDA still leads.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Evaluating the trade-offs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For CIOs evaluating AI infrastructure, Helios launch brings in another option to a market that has largely revolved around Nvidia’s dominance. But when considering Helios, CIOs will have to evaluate factors such as performance, software readiness, deployment models, procurement timelines and total cost of ownership before committing to a platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While AMD has not publicly announced a specific price tag for the Helios, Jain believes it to be noticeably cheaper to buy and run with lower chip prices and lower power use per GPU.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It gives companies a real second option besides Nvidia, easing supply shortages and giving leverage in negotiations. The catch is software, where teams need to check whether their AI tools run well on AMD’s stack, since some advanced tools are still CUDA only,” Jain said. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For CIOs planning to deploy both, Jain warns the two systems can’t be plugged together into one combined machine as they use different, incompatible connection technology. But companies can and do run both side by side in the same data center, just as separate systems handling different jobs.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the past three years, the AI conversation has been dominated by scale. Bigger models, bigger compute clusters, bigger headlines. But the next wave of competitive advantage won’t come from who can rent the biggest model; it will come from who can build the smallest one that knows their business.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That model is the <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4119259/small-language-models-why-specialized-ai-agents-boost-resilience-and-protect-privacy.html">small language model (SLM)</a>: Compact, purpose-built, trained on an organization’s own data and run under that organization’s own governance. And it is about to become one of the most consequential strategic assets available to both the private and public sector.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The problem with renting intelligence</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Right now, most organizations consume AI the way they once consumed electricity from a single utility by plugging into a handful of frontier models built by a small number of global vendors. These models are extraordinary generalists. They are also, by design, generic. They are tuned to be safe, broad and useful to everyone, which means they are optimised for no one in particular.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s a problem for any organization trying to build genuine differentiation. If every competitor in your sector is calling the same foundation model with the same prompts, the model itself is not your edge. Your edge is what only you know, your proprietary data, your institutional judgement, your operating history. A generic model can’t see any of that unless you keep feeding it to them, turn after turn, at cost, with no lasting memory and no guarantee of where that data ends up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An SLM flips that equation. Trained on an organization’s own document libraries, case histories, policy archives, transaction data and operational know-how, it becomes a model that thinks the way your organization thinks, because it was built from your organization’s accumulated judgement. It doesn’t need to be the smartest model in the world. It needs to be the most useful one for you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve seen this play out directly. At one of Australia’s largest integrated tourism and cruise businesses, simultaneously a B2C retailer, a B2B distributor to thousands of agency and wholesale clients globally, an aggregator marketplace for more than 1,800 independent tourism operators, and a cruise operator with offshore shared services spanning finance, customer contact and content management. The constraint wasn’t a lack of access to large general-purpose models. It was that none of them understood the business: 1,800 different operator catalogues, each with its own pricing logic, inventory quirks and content conventions; years of customer contact history with its own vocabulary and escalation patterns; a marketplace search experience that needed to reason over the business’s own product taxonomy, not the open web’s.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Models trained and tuned on that proprietary data, operator listings, historical tickets, booking and pricing data delivered results a generic model never could. Domain-tuned content drafting cut operator listing time by 70% and eliminated a 23-day onboarding backlog outright, taking new-operator time-to-live from 23 days to three. A semantic search model trained on the marketplace’s own product catalogue lifted booking conversion by 24%. AI-driven triage trained on the business’s own contact history cut Tier 1 escalations by 34%. None of this came from a smarter foundation model. It came from a smaller, more specific one that knew the business.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why “small” is the strategic choice, not the compromise</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s a temptation to treat SLMs as the budget option, what you build when you can’t afford a frontier model. That’s the wrong frame. The evidence is already compelling: <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/empowering-innovation-the-next-generation-of-the-phi-family/">Microsoft’s Phi-4 family of small models</a>, released in early 2025, demonstrated that a 14-billion-parameter model can match or exceed the performance of models many times its size on complex reasoning and domain-specific tasks while running at a fraction of the compute cost and on-premise, entirely within an organization’s own infrastructure. Smaller, domain-trained models are increasingly outperforming general-purpose giants on narrow, high-value tasks, with far tighter control over data residency, security and explainability.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a CIO or CTO, that combination of lower cost, tighter governance, higher task-specific accuracy is rare enough to demand attention on its own. But the deeper value sits one layer up, at the operating model. An SLM trained on your service history can sit inside claims processing, citizen services, clinical triage, asset maintenance scheduling or M&amp;A due diligence quietly compounding institutional knowledge into a reusable asset rather than letting it walk out the door every time someone retires or resigns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is the real shift: AI capability stops being a subscription and starts being a balance-sheet asset. It can be valued, protected, audited and improved because it belongs to you.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The public sector’s hidden advantage</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nowhere is this more obvious than in government. The public sector sits on some of the richest, least-exploited data and institutional knowledge in the country: Decades of policy outcomes, service delivery history, regulatory precedent, infrastructure records and frontline expertise. Most of it has never been put to systematic use because no commercially available model was ever trusted to touch it, and rightly so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A small, sovereign, purpose-built model changes that calculus. Trained, hosted and governed entirely within government infrastructure, an SLM doesn’t require sensitive citizen or policy data to leave a secure perimeter. The Australian Government has already recognised this direction: <a href="https://www.finance.gov.au/about-us/news/2025/introducing-aps-ai-plan">The APS AI Plan, released in November 2025</a>, commits to expanding the GovAI platform to provide all public servants with secure, sovereign AI tools operating entirely within Australian Government infrastructure. SLMs tuned to individual agency mandates are the logical next step and a more powerful one than any generic government-wide tool can deliver.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rather than each agency independently negotiating with the same handful of overseas vendors, a coordinated approach of common standards for model governance, shared security architecture, common evaluation frameworks and pooled infrastructure investment would let agencies build and reuse SLM capability horizontally, the way shared services and common ICT platforms have been built before. Each agency gets a model genuinely tuned to its mandate, but the security model, audit trail and assurance framework are consistent, government-backed and independently verifiable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Done well, this isn’t just an efficiency play. It’s a sovereignty play. As <a href="https://www.govtechreview.com.au/content/gov-datacentre/article/why-sovereign-ai-is-becoming-a-strategic-priority-in-australia-81646916">GovTech Review has noted</a>, large language models hosted offshore create data flows that extend beyond Australia’s borders in ways that are rarely transparent, a risk that is simply untenable for government. Sovereign, purpose-built models keep Australian public data, public knowledge and the resulting capability uplift inside Australian hands, rather than exporting both the data and the long-term value to offshore platforms.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why this belongs in the innovation budget, not the IT budget</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The instinct in many organizations is to treat AI spend as an IT line item, something to be minimised, benchmarked and squeezed for cost efficiency. SLMs deserve a different treatment. They are closer to R&amp;D than infrastructure: An investment in converting accumulated institutional knowledge into a durable, defensible capability.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That argument holds in the private sector too. A PE-backed portfolio company, a regulated financial services firm, a healthcare provider — each has years of proprietary operating data sitting idle in case files, transaction logs and service records. An SLM built on that data is a way of turning a sunk cost, decades of operational history, into a forward-looking asset that compounds with every additional case it processes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Boards and executive committees that are still asking “what is our AI strategy?” as a single, undifferentiated question are asking the wrong thing. The better question is: Which parts of our operation are rich enough in proprietary data and judgement to justify owning the model outright, rather than renting someone else’s?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The opportunity in front of us</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first wave of enterprise AI adoption was about access: Getting a capable model into people’s hands quickly. The next wave will be about ownership: Who controls the model, who controls the data it was built on, and who captures the long-term value of the institutional knowledge it encodes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Australia, with a public sector rich in data and a private sector with deep vertical expertise in financial services, resources, healthcare and logistics, is well placed to lead on this if it treats small, sovereign models as a genuine national capability question, not a procurement footnote. The organizations, and the country, that move early will not just save money. They will own something their competitors can’t easily replicate: An AI that knows them.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A single AI agent conversation can look flawless scored on its own and still point to a broken product. That gap is driving a shift in how enterprises evaluate agents, away from scoring individual traces and toward comparing cohorts of users against a baseline.</p><p>At<a href="https://venturebeat.com/vbtransform2026"> VB Transform 2026</a>, <!-- -->Harrison Chase, CEO of LangChain; Hui Zhang, CTO and co-founder of Conviva; and Emmanuel Turlay, director of engineering at CoreWeave, described that shift, along with a parallel move toward cheaper, narrower judge models.</p><p>Agent-as-judge — judging one AI agent's output with another — hasn't replaced LLM-as-judge, which Chase said remains the default. The larger tension, Zhang said, is between automated judging, whether by LLM or agent, and human review.</p><p>"You have scalable but ungrounded, whether it's agents as judge or LLMs as judge, you grade the outcome, you grade the work. It still is very difficult to ground it and then you use humans and that's just not scalable," Zhang said. "The whole industry is facing this, which poison you want to pick."</p><h2>Evaluation criteria now function as the product spec</h2><p>That gap — a conversation that scores well but still signals a broken product — is what teams try to close by building an exhaustive evaluation suite before they ship anything. Chase said that doesn't work.</p><p>"We sometimes see teams that have almost eval paralysis," Chase said. "They're like, this is an eval set, I can't launch it. The best teams launch and then iterate."</p><p>Chase framed evaluation criteria as a living specification, not a one-time test suite: a product requirements document — the standard software-development spec for what an application should do. "Evals are like the new PRD," he said. "They define what your agent should and shouldn't do."</p><p>Turlay described hitting the same failure from a different angle. "I was trying to reach 100% coverage for my tests, and I still had bugs in production," he said — a test suite that looked complete but still missed what mattered, the same gap Chase was describing with evals.</p><p>Broad, always-on monitoring, he said, catches more real failures than an exhaustive pre-launch test suite. Teams should set up wide online checks first, use those to identify failure classes as they occur, then build a targeted offline evaluation set around the problems that surface.</p><h2>Why scoring traces one at a time is a mistake</h2><p>Even a well-built evaluation process can still score the wrong thing. Zhang's objection is to how most teams run evaluation: sampling traces, whether 50 of them or a full population, scoring each in isolation. That approach misses a signal that only shows up when comparing cohorts of users against a baseline, a method Zhang calls contrastive analysis.</p><p>Zhang illustrated it with a retail example: a shopper asks an agent for a running shoe ahead of a half marathon, the agent asks qualifying questions, and the shopper buys a shoe. Scored individually, that interaction looks fine. But the clarification ratio, how many follow-up questions an agent asks before completing a task, came in three times higher than baseline for that shoe category across the full user population. A second metric, how often shoppers finished their purchase outside the conversation, was five times higher than baseline for the same category.</p><p>Neither number is visible from a single trace. Both point to a debuggable, category-specific problem. Zhang said the industry also lacks a second data source: what happens before, between and after the conversation, not just the trace itself.</p><h2>Sizing the judge to the job</h2><p>Once contrastive analysis flags which category is actually broken, the next problem is what watches for it going forward — and at what cost. Turlay's rule was to start with the most capable model available to prove a task is solvable, then work down. If it can't be done with a top-tier model, he said, it won't work with a smaller one. Once a pattern proves viable, teams can sample a fraction of traffic instead of judging every interaction, and move simpler tasks like binary classification to smaller open source models.</p><p>LangChain took that further, fine-tuning its own model to detect when a user believes the agent made a mistake, a signal Chase calls perceived error. "The model we fine-tuned was a Qwen model," he said, referring to Alibaba's open source family. Combining hand labeling with distillation, the result performed well. "Same as [Claude]Sonnet, for, depending on how we served it, either 10 to 100x cost reduction," Chase said.</p><p>Not every guardrail needs a model. Chase pointed to Claude Code's own guardrails as proof: regexes, the common programming technique for finding and validating patterns in code. "A lot of the guardrails they had were just regexes," he said. "They weren't small LLMs, they were just regexes."</p><h2>LLM-as-judge doesn't mean human-in-the-loop disappears</h2><p>The bigger question is whether using LLM as a judge removes the need for a human in the loop.</p><p>Turlay pointed to accountability, drawing on his prior work at a self-driving car company. His team compressed data intake and retraining into a two-week cycle for shipping a new model to the car. Even then, someone still had to sign off.</p><p>"I felt confident on behalf of the company to say this model should go into the car," he said. The same logic extends to legal, finance and healthcare. "Before we can remove a human to say, I endorse this and I take responsibility legally for it, it's going to be a while before agents can do that on their own."</p><p>Zhang agreed a human has to remain the guardian on corner cases, even as automation eventually runs at a scale that beats individual human accuracy — machines can see more at the pattern level. </p><p>Chase went further: that human check isn't just a safety net. "Human in the loop is really important for building trust in how these agentic systems work, and also really important for memory and learning from systems," he said. "There has to be interactions in order for the system to learn."</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI’s recent update to its Codex coding agent has developers worrying over the impact of the change on large code repositories and long-running AI-assisted sessions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/34009" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">update to the Codex CLI</a> reduces the default configured input context window for GPT-5.6 to 272,000 tokens from 372,000 tokens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In practice, the update means the coding agent will retain a smaller amount of code, conversation history, and other session information before compacting older context to make room for new information, a change that has prompted criticism from some developers on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1v02y73/gpt56_context_reduced_to_272k/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reddit</a> and <a href="https://x.com/Codex_Changelog/status/2079018788876411322" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a> over the reduced token window.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While OpenAI has not publicly explained the rationale behind the update, several developers took to social media to question why OpenAI reduced the default context configuration, with some arguing that the change could make Codex less effective on long-running coding sessions by triggering context compaction sooner.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Others expressed concern that the smaller window could require more frequent context management or session resets, although some noted that the practical impact would depend on project size and how developers structure their workflows.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Smaller context, bigger workflow implications</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The context window reduction could affect developer productivity and the adoption of autonomous agents in enterprise workflows, analysts say.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“While the context reduction in Codex is unlikely to affect routine coding tasks such as bug fixes or changes involving a few files, it could impact large codebases, repository-wide refactoring, and long-running sessions,” said <a href="https://pareekh.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pareekh Jain</a>, principal analyst at Pareekh Consulting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Less memory per session means the AI agent forgets earlier parts of a long coding session sooner. The agent may need to summarize or reload context more often, increasing repeated searches, occasional loss of earlier decisions and the need for developers to re-establish context,” Jain added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That need for manual context management, according to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/muskan-bandta2004/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Muskan Bandta</a>, cloud associate at FinOps services providing firm ZopDev, goes completely against the “whole appeal” of Codex-like tools that promised improved productivity out-of-the-box: “A lot of developers are saying their sessions now spend more time on compacting than actually working.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“While context reduction may not further inflate bills, it shows up as more retries, more compaction, and your engineers spending more time babysitting the thing. The spend just moves from the invoice onto your team’s time.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/znamit/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amit Jena</a>, AI development manager at IT consulting firm Kanerika, said that the context reduction will force development teams to choose between two options: either accept that the agent is reasoning with an incomplete picture of the required context or learn to manage a new design constraint around context compaction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Development teams, Jena said, will need to design workflows that proactively manage context: by breaking work into smaller tasks, relying more on retrieval mechanisms, and monitoring context consumption.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That forced design constraint on engineering, echoed Bandta, will slow the enterprise adoption of agent-driven workflows: “Context is the agent’s working memory, so cutting it by a third changes what you can trust it to do at all.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Build for changing AI platforms, not fixed limits?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More broadly, analysts pointed out that the episode is a reminder that enterprises should avoid tightly coupling software development workflows to the current operational characteristics of managed AI coding platforms, as context limits, pricing, runtime behavior, and model availability are all likely to evolve with little or no advance notice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Enterprises should avoid depending on any single context window, continuously benchmark AI coding tools on real workloads, and build workflows around retrieval, modular design, and agent orchestration so they remain resilient as models evolve,” Jain said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kanerika’s Jena echoed that view: “The right approach is to build AI-assisted development pipelines that degrade gracefully when operational parameters shift: instrument your context consumption, don’t hard-code context budgets, and treat the vendor’s current specifications as a starting point, not a contract.” Similarly, Bandta advised enterprises to treat managed AI coding platforms like any other critical software dependency: “Don’t build anything that only works right at the edge of a limit, and keep enough flexibility that you’re not stuck if one vendor changes the deal.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The biggest and loudest prediction about AI is that it will <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-jobs-white-collar-unemployment-anthropic">eliminate</a> millions of jobs. It is dramatic and easy to repeat. But from what I’ve seen, inside most enterprises the more immediate problem has turned out to be something else entirely: a growing mass of tools, agents, models and usage costs spreading faster than most organizations can govern or connect to real business value, also known as <a href="https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/ai-agent-sprawl">AI sprawl.</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of that invalidates the initial fear. Indeed, AI can clear backlogs, speed up analysis, draft usable content and reduce time spent on repetitive work. In my opinion, what goes wrong is the assumption that those gains will scale seamlessly, and that more AI will automatically produce more value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What really matters is not only how much AI a company can deploy, but whether its use fits inside a growth strategy, an operating model and an organization that can use it well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The early results of AI use made the logical progression feel obvious, even a foregone conclusion. If it could already improve output in narrow use cases, then broader deployment should produce broader gains. Simple! Better models were expected to deliver better results. More agents were expected to drive more automation. For many companies, this logic held for long enough to encourage overexpansion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this logic has started to break down as usage continues to scale. I’ve seen returns diminish much quicker than expected. To illustrate, one <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-tokenmaxxing-fails-as-productivity-strategy-jellyfish-2026-5?utm">industry analysis</a> found that developers who used AI most heavily produced about twice the output of moderate users, but consumed roughly ten times the compute.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At a certain point, more AI does not create proportionally more value – it simply becomes more expensive. But where, exactly?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From experimentation to sprawl</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Experimentation played a key role in this downturn, but it’s not the culprit. As AI continues to sprawl, the problem continues that AI is spreading faster than most companies can coordinate. Teams often solve the same problem in parallel, paying for overlapping capabilities and layering new tools atop existing ones without any clear inventory of what ‘s already in place. What can appear as momentum is really turning into redundancy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve seen versions of this play out repeatedly. At one financial firm, several business units were pursuing AI projects aimed at automating research and reporting. Each team moved independently; selecting their own tools, building their own workflows and creating separate data pipelines, with little to no coordination between teams. In some cases, different groups were developing nearly identical capabilities without realizing it, solving the same problems twice without any shared visibility into each other’s work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Individually, the projects showed real promise. Collectively, the projects created duplication, fragmented data and inconsistent standards business and enterprise wide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By the time leadership stepped back to assess, the company found itself paying for overlapping capabilities, maintaining multiple versions of the same underlying data, and struggling to determine which solutions were actually delivering value versus which were simply consuming budget and eating at engineering time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps most troubling: nobody at the enterprise level had a complete view of what was being built, by whom or why. What began as healthy, well-intentioned experimentation had, without anyone deciding it should, evolved into full-blown AI sprawl, creating a patchwork of disconnected initiatives that was difficult to govern, harder to secure and far more expensive than a coordinated approach could and should be.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Early wins encourage a still wider rollout, but many organizations expand usage before they put real controls in place. Experimentation becomes sprawl. Budgets grow quickly, and few leaders have a reliable view of who is using what or why.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI strategy cannot sit beside growth strategy</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is where I see many companies still get the issue wrong. They treat AI and growth strategy as two separate efforts, then wonder how adoption gets so messy. A business cannot drop AI into its operations and expect momentum to take over. The technology has to support a clear path to growth, whether that means improving margin, speed, service, capacity or decision-making. At the same time, growth plans cannot assume AI changes nothing about delivery, design or operating leverage. The real challenge is in ensuring the two work together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Personally, I’ve seen better results when AI initiatives are tied to a specific business objective from the beginning, rather than launched as broad, abstract or transformative effort. One mattress retailer I’ve worked with took this approach, starting with a single, focused and well-defined use case rather than trying to transform or overhaul the entire organization at once. The company introduced an AI-powered training platform for store associates, giving employees a low-pressure way to practice sales conversations and product recommendations before applying them to external situations with customers on the floor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because employees experienced immediate and tangible value from the tool, adoption spread quickly across locations, with minimal need for top-down mandates. Early, visible success helped to build internal credibility and generate momentum, which leadership then leveraged to expand into more complex AI initiatives across areas such as inventory management, demand forecasting and replenishment planning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultimately, the technology succeeded not because it was innovative for its own sake, but because it was connected to a larger growth strategy: improving sales effectiveness on the floor, driving operational efficiency behind the scenes and strengthening workforce capability at entry level. A major lesson we walked away with here was that starting small and specific, with a clear throughline to business value creates a strong foundation for sustainable and scalable AI use.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What implementation actually takes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All this takes more than a few easy guardrails. It takes strategy. Leaders need a real inventory of the tools, agents and assistants already in use across the business, who owns them, what data they can access and everything that they support.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They also need financial controls that match the economics of token-based usage, including role-based access, thresholds and review processes that make spend visible before it becomes a surprise. Similarly, they need metrics that go beyond mere activity. More prompts do not mean more value. If a deployment cannot be tied to throughput, margin, quality, cycle time or another tangible result, it is still unfinished.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is also why blunt shutdowns rarely work. If leaders clamp down too hard, employees often move to unsanctioned tools and create a larger <a href="https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-shadow-ai">shadow AI</a> problem, or the unauthorized use of artificial intelligence tools, models or chatbots by employees, without the knowledge or approval of IT and security teams, with even less visibility and more risk. The better answer is disciplined adoption: clear ownership, rules, metrics and enough flexibility for teams to use AI where it works.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That matters for the people as much as it does for the budget. Those that modernize well end up with <em>better</em> work – not just less of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The story of the moment isn’t about AI replacing people – or even AI in general. It’s about whether companies know their own businesses well enough to keep incorporating powerful new tools without mistaking activity for progress. As technological capabilities continue to appear, the winners will be the organizations that understand where it belongs, what it can improve and how to turn each new wave into something permanent.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.anthropic.com/claude/mythos">Mythos 5</a> was originally released in April to a small group of vetted technology partners ahead of a planned wider rollout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anthropic established <strong>Project Glasswing</strong>, a consortium that gives limited, controlled access to Mythos to infrastructure providers, open-source developers, and major technology companies. The scheme was designed to enable defenders to find and resolve vulnerabilities faster than they could be identified by attackers, <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4154222/6-ways-attackers-abuse-ai-services-to-hack-your-business.html">many of which are also beginning to rely heavily on AI tools</a>.</p>

<div class="wp-block-idg-base-theme-faq-answer-block how-to-tip">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4155342/what-anthropic-glasswing-reveals-about-the-future-of-vulnerability-discovery.html">50 initial partners of Project Glasswing</a> were able to use Mythos to find more than <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4176865/project-glasswing-has-uncovered-10000-vulnerabilities-anthropic.html">10,000 high- or critical-severity vulnerabilities</a> in every major operating system and <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4162259/claude-mythos-signals-a-new-era-in-ai-driven-security-finding-271-flaws-in-firefox.html">every major web browser</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The model is identifying security flaws that had evaded even the most capable security researchers for years, such as a <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4159617/behind-the-mythos-hype-glasswing-has-just-one-confirmed-cve.html">27-year-old bug in OpenBSD</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How is Anthropic restricting access to Claude Mythos?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-idg-base-theme-faq-answer-block how-to-tip">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anthropic said it was restricting the more widespread availability of the frontier AI model because its capabilities might easily be misused by attackers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In June the technology was released to an <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4180265/anthropic-grants-project-glasswing-access-to-150-more-companies-with-a-focus-on-critical-infrastructure.html">additional 150 organizations</a>. All Mythos partners are required to accept a 30-day data retention policy for safety monitoring.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After the availability of Mythos forced the <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4166824/anthropic-mythos-spurs-white-house-to-weigh-pre-release-reviews-for-high-risk-ai-models.html">Trump administration to reconsider its “hands off” approach to AI oversight</a>, the US government applied export controls to Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 on June 15. The restrictions — which were supposed to block access to foreign nationals both inside and outside the US — were lifted on June 30.</p>

<div class="wp-block-idg-base-theme-faq-answer-block how-to-tip">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For broader use, Anthropic is offering <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4183094/anthropic-releases-mythos-class-fable-5-model-with-safeguards-for-cyber-risks.html">Claude Fable 5</a>, which is based on the same underlying technology but comes with strict guardrails that limit operations in “risky” cybersecurity domains.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How are Anthropic’s security vendor partners using access to Mythos?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-idg-base-theme-faq-answer-block how-to-tip">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco, one of Anthropic’s Project Glasswing partners, <a href="https://blogs.cisco.com/ai/announcing-foundry-security-spec">open-sourced its Foundry Security Spec</a>, a model-agnostic “harness” for security testing, so that other vendors and enterprise security defenders could build similar workflows without starting from scratch.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During a recent web conference, representatives from Cisco argued that defenders can use AI to identify, confirm, and resolve security issues at much greater speed and scale. Older vulnerability remediation models based on “find one issue, patch one issue” are no longer adequate because attackers are using AI moving to accelerate the path from vulnerability discovery to exploitation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco has been using AI internally to scan 1.8 billion lines of code across its whole product portfolio.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Smaller businesses do not need access to restricted AI models to improve security and more can be achieved in smaller shops by improving security fundamentals such as authentication, segmentation, zero trust, and prioritizing the remediation of actively exploited vulnerabilities, according to Cisco.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do other AI vendors offer anything comparable to Claude Mythos?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-idg-base-theme-faq-answer-block how-to-tip">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mythos is the most prominent example of frontier AI models that can automate zero-day discovery at a scale and speed far beyond the capability of human teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Several other vendors have frontier AI models aimed towards high-capability, security-oriented operations while others have capable open models that might easily be applied to cybersecurity research.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a result, Claude Mythos is far from the only game in town.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, OpenAI’s GPT-5.4-Cyber (and <a href="https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-5-with-trusted-access-for-cyber/">GPT-5.5</a>) has applications in vulnerability analysis and discovery as well as malware analysis and threat modelling. Security vendors, enterprises, and researchers can gain access to the technology through OpenAI’s Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) scheme.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chinese cybersecurity firm <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/chinas-360-says-it-has-developed-tools-match-anthropics-mythos-2026-06-24/">360 Security Technology has developed Tulongfeng</a>, described as a domestic answer to Anthropic’s Mythos.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">High performance open models — including DeepSeek V3.2 and Llama 4 — can be run privately on GPU infrastructure and applied to cybersecurity research. Fugu from Japanese vendor Sakana AI offers another option in this category.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What do cybersecurity critics say about Claude Mythos?</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Infosecurity critics note that while Claude Mythos is unquestionably advanced, marketing claims that it is reliably breaking production systems overstate its capabilities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Security professionals are complaining through <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx0CpTp3Q4Y">podcasts</a> and elsewhere about the overly sensitive guardrails in Claude Fable that downgrade to Opus 4.8 upon requests to summarize a security-related blog post or even spell the word “exploit” much less tackle any everyday information security task.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other experts warn that false positives are likely to be an issue for cybersecurity research using frontier AI models.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The wider criticism is that finding more vulnerabilities faster fails to address the bigger problem of reliability fixing security bugs or non-technical attack paths such as social engineering.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How should enterprise CISOs respond to the development of Mythos?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-idg-base-theme-faq-answer-block how-to-tip">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Western intelligence agencies that form the <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2026-06/Five-Eyes-cyber-security-agencies-statement-ai-shift.pdf">Fives Eyes alliance issued a statement warning that frontier AI models such as Claude Mythos</a> are “fundamentally transforming both offensive and defensive cyber capabilities” in a scale of months rather than years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“While Al will help us improve cyber defence over time, it also accelerates the speed, scale, and sophistication of cyber threats,” the group, which includes the US National Security Agency and the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, warns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enterprises need to be using AI to strengthen defenses as part of broader plans to improve cybersecurity resilience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI-based systems capable of mapping realistic attack paths faster than any human adversary are fast becoming a pervasive threat, while most organizations are nowhere near ready for what that means for their threat models, one expert warns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We now have AI systems that can map realistic attack paths across software, vendors, and critical infrastructure faster than human adversaries can catalog them,” says Joe Hubback, partner and CISO at consultancy Elixirr and former McKinsey Partner. “And as Mythos-class capabilities are prepared for broad commercial release, that’s no longer a niche research problem, it’s something every organization will have to factor into its threat model.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An <a href="https://labs.cloudsecurityalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/mythosready-20260413.pdf">AI safety paper from the Cloud Security Alliance</a> warns that AI has significantly compressed the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation, outpacing traditional patch-and-react security models. Organizations should brace for ongoing waves of AI-discovered vulnerabilities from Project Glasswing and other sources.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The capabilities seen in Mythos will quickly become more widely available, dramatically increasing the number and frequency of complex, novel attacks organizations will face,” it warns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enterprise security defenders need to shift to a “Mythos-ready” approach built around continuous vulnerability operations, faster prioritization, and improved incident response.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA["Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have been given a glimpse of the mechanisms that supermassive black holes use to feed themselves," reports Space.com:

The powerful cosmic titans get really puzzling when astronomers using the JWST spot them before the universe was even 1 billion years old. That's because the mechanisms by which black holes devour matter to grow and then merge to create even more massive black holes should take at least 1 billion years to achieve supermassive status. This is even more confusing because theories also say the most ravenously feeding black holes (and thus the fastest growing) should also push the matter they use for this growth away, in effect putting themselves on a diet. So, with all this in mind, how did supermassive black holes grow so rapidly in the early universe? 
One explanation suggests supermassive black holes push away gas, starving themselves as predicted, but also that this matter eventually cools and falls back to the black hole. That would allow for another period of feeding and thus growth. This explanation further suggests that as this gas cools down, it forms "streamers," or filaments, of gas just a few hundred light-years wide but which stretch thousands of light-years long. These would fall back to the center of the galaxy and form a swirling disk around its incumbent black hole, once again feeding it and triggering a new period of growth. This would then restart the jets from the black hole, which would again cut off the cosmic titan's food supply, allowing the whole process to begin once more. The process would in essence be a self-regulating cycle of feasting followed by fasting. However, the connection between these filaments and supermassive black holes has been elusive, meaning this mechanism has resisted confirmation. 

To solve the mystery of feasting black holes, the JWST turned its attention to a relatively close AGN situated at the heart of the central galaxy of the Centaurus Cluster, NGC 4696, located just 145 million light-years from Earth. The Hubble Space Telescope previously studied this galaxy, uncovering a strange, hook-shaped swirl of gas near the central supermassive black hole of NGC 4696. The JWST followed up this discovery by producing a detailed map of gas flowing at the heart of the galaxy. This revealed the hook-shaped feature is around 800 light-years wide and is composed of gas moving at incredible speeds of around 1.3 million miles per hour (600 kilometers per second).
More excitingly, the swirl of gas appears to be connected to a vast filament of material falling in toward the central supermassive black hole. 
The team tested the JWST observations against a computer simulation, finding gas in the infalling filament scenario would indeed take a shape similar to that seen in NGC 4696.
"JWST is now showing us the final link of this closed loop," team member Helen Russell of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham in the U.K. said in the statement. "The vast filamentary network of gas flows ultimately funnels gas down to a disk that fuels the black hole." 

The team's research was published on Wednesday (July 16) in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
 

"We are finally seeing this self-sustaining cycle in action," team leader Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo of the Université de Montréal said in a statement.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Solar car maker Aptera has "officially announced a repair network partnership which will give owners of its upcoming solar electric car access to thousands of repair shops nationwide," reports Electrek:



We recently got a chance to drive the Aptera solar EV and tour the company's factory, and came away both impressed at the progress that has been made, but cognizant of the long road ahead for the company. One question that often gets raised in reference to EV startups is how owners get service on their vehicles, especially those from a small company... So to waylay those fears, Aptera announced a partnership today that unlocks access to 4,300 service shops across the US, through a company called RepairPal. Aptera had been working on this partnership when we saw them at our factory tour, but today they're ready to officially announce it. 
RepairPal doesn't own its own shops, but instead certifies local shops to work on particular models of car... All shops will get access to Aptera-specific service procedures.

I've always been a bit obsessed with vehicle registration plates. I like spotting the hidden information in them, but I also like seeing the decisions encoded in their formats, and how those have played out over time. Everywhere seems to have come up with its own solution to the same problem, they're all different, and seemingly innocuous decisions can have significant impacts later on.

These superficially trivial identifiers turn out to be much more than that, intersecting design, politics, information encoding, and even questions of identity. They're also, I hope to show, fun, and can make us all feel better about having to live with the consequences of bad choices we made in the past.

We've been making novel interactive props using a wide array of technology, uncovering a design language for spooky interaction that has also highlighted how easy it is to make something unintentionally funny, or too difficult to understand, or too frightening to have a go, or too complex to build. It's a complex brief but has yielded a simple set of design questions and approaches that are valuable for any kind of making for audiences, putting the artist's intentionality at the centre of the making process.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Researchers say a meteorite that crashed through the roof of a Hillsborough, New Jersey, home in 2024 contains unusually pristine evidence of salty fluids and organic chemistry from near the surface of a primitive asteroid. "A forensic study of the fragments revealed that they contained preserved bits from near the surface of a primitive asteroid, where it experienced concentrated salty fluids -- a process not previously known from this type of protoplanet world," said lead author and meteor astronomer Peter Jenniskens of the SETI Institute and NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley. Phys.org reports: According to paper co-author Mike Zolensky, a meteoriticist at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, analysis of the Hillsborough meteorite found fragments that were more extensively altered by water on the meteorite's parent asteroid than is typically seen in CM2 carbonaceous chondrites. The analysis classified the specimen as a CM1/2 carbonaceous chondrite, an intermediate classification between petrographic types CM1 and CM2. [...] Zolensky and colleague JangMi Han found small salt-rich CM1 fragments within the Hillsborough meteorite, suggesting they originated from a near-surface region of the parent asteroid where liquid water evaporated and concentrated salts. They are now working to identify the salt minerals for comparison with similar phases found among samples returned to Earth from asteroids Ryugu and Bennu.
 
The high concentration of salt in briny fluids can potentially create molecules crucial to life on Earth. Brines allow phosphate to remain in solution and can catalyze chemical reactions between organics and precipitate minerals. "Isotope studies of carbon and nitrogen suggest that primitive carbonaceous chondrites, including CM types, delivered organic matter to the early Earth," said cosmochemist Queenie Chan of Royal Holloway University of London, England, and biogeochemist Nana Ogawa of the Biogeochemistry Research Center at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. "The Hillsborough meteorite contained 1.8% by weight of carbon and 0.07% of nitrogen, and had carbon and nitrogen isotopes typical for CM-type meteorites."
 
The meteorite contained a wide variety of soluble organic compounds, and its compositional range confirms that the Hillsborough meteorite was more altered by water than most other CM-type meteorites. "A high fraction of compounds were the product of organic chemistry with minerals," said organic mass spectrometry specialist Phil Schmitt-Kopplin of Technical University Munich. "We do not know if these magnesium organic compounds were contributed by brine chemistry or were simply left over from earlier impact shock processes." In living organisms, organometallic compounds are found in blood and used in photosynthesis. Among the soluble organic compounds were many amino acids, similar to those found in more moderately altered CM2 chondrites.
 
Astrobiologist Danny Glavin of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and his team in Goddard's Astrobiology Analytical Lab concluded that the delivery of amino acids, carboxylic acids and other soluble organic molecules by CM-type bodies may have contributed to the prebiotic organic inventory that preceded the emergence of life on Earth. Their analysis suggests the complex distribution of amino acids observed in the Hillsborough meteorite formed within the parent body, likely assisted by brine fluid chemistry. 
The findings have been published in the journal Science Advances.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA["Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak's Woz Ed foundation is partnering with Realbotix, best known for their RealDoll-branded artificial companions, to deploy AI-powered robotic tutors in classrooms," writes Slashdot reader Hentes. "The doll will serve as a sort of artificial teaching assistant, helping students who get stuck or generating lessons. Students will be assigned an ID code, allowing the robot to provide personalized mentoring." NYS Focus reports: "This deployment in a working school district represents a landmark moment for both AI and humanoid robotics," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix, which is currently building the robot. "[Salamanca City Central School District in Western New York] marks the beginning of a new era where humanoid robots and intelligent AI assistants become standard tools in STEM education."
 
The female robot, named Sally, will have a "lifelike appearance" with silicone skin and long brown hair, Kiguel said in an interview with New York Focus. It will be stationary in a seated position but have a wide range of upper-body movements and facial expressions. [...]
 
Salamanca plans to introduce the robot and avatar in its high school AI and robotics courses, which use curriculum developed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak to prepare students for high-demand tech jobs. The district plans to expand it to high school students in other classes if the pilot is successful. Realbotix's classroom robot has drawn scrutiny because the company is connected to RealDoll, the longtime maker of hyperrealistic sex dolls and sex robots. Realbotix acquired RealDoll's parent company in 2024 but says the education-focused operation has separate employees, payroll, facilities, and technology, with plans to formally separate the businesses at the ownership level.
 
The "companion robots" are different from sex robots and intended to address what it's described as a "loneliness epidemic." Kiguel has previously said the company's goal is to produce robots and AI that are "indistinguishable from humans."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.capitalone.com/">Capital One</a> on Thursday released <a href="https://github.com/capitalone/vulnhunter">VulnHunter</a>, an open-source, agentic AI security tool that scans source code for exploitable vulnerabilities, maps out how an attacker would reach them, and proposes targeted fixes — all before a single line ships to production. The tool, built internally and <a href="https://github.com/capitalone/vulnhunter">now available on GitHub</a> under an Apache 2.0 license, is one of the most ambitious attempts by a major financial institution to turn offensive AI capabilities into a public defensive resource.</p><p>The move marks a striking philosophical turn for a company still defined, in many boardrooms, by a <a href="https://www.capitalone.com/digital/facts2019/">2019 data breach</a> that compromised the personal information of roughly 106 million people across the United States and Canada and ultimately cost the bank an <a href="https://www.occ.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2020/nr-occ-2020-101.html">$80 million federal fine</a>.</p><p>Capital One is not simply releasing another vulnerability scanner. VulnHunter introduces what the company calls an "<a href="https://github.com/capitalone/vulnhunter">attacker-first forward analysis</a>" — a workflow in which the tool begins at the points where a real adversary would enter a system, such as APIs, network messages, or file uploads, and reasons forward through the application's logic to determine whether an exploit path actually survives the code's existing defenses. Conventional scanners typically work in reverse, flagging a dangerous-looking code pattern and then searching backward for a hypothetical attacker. That approach, security practitioners widely acknowledge, buries engineering teams under avalanches of false positives.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/capitalone/vulnhunter">VulnHunter</a> attacks that problem head-on with a second innovation: a built-in "falsification engine" that tries to disprove its own findings before a developer ever sees them. After the tool surfaces a potential vulnerability, a structured reasoning workflow hunts for logical gaps, unsupported assumptions, and conditions that would prevent the attack from succeeding. Only findings the engine fails to rule out reach a human reviewer — and when they do, VulnHunter delivers not just an alert but a full explanation of the exploit path and a proposed code fix ready for engineering review.</p><p>The tool currently runs on Anthropic's <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-8">Claude Opus 4.8 model</a> inside a Claude Code environment, though Capital One says the framework has the potential to work across other foundation models and coding harnesses.</p><h2><b>The 2019 breach that reshaped how Capital One thinks about cybersecurity</b></h2><p>To understand why Capital One chose to open-source a tool this consequential, you have to understand the scar tissue.</p><p>On July 19, 2019, <a href="https://www.capitalone.com/digital/facts2019/">Capital One disclosed </a>that an outside individual — later identified as a former Amazon Web Services employee named Paige Thompson — had gained unauthorized access to names, addresses, self-reported income, Social Security numbers, and linked bank account numbers belonging to credit card customers and applicants. The breach, which Capital One says occurred on March 22 and 23, 2019, was discovered only after an external security researcher flagged a configuration vulnerability through the company's <a href="https://www.capitalone.com/digital/responsible-disclosure/">Responsible Disclosure Program</a> on July 17 of that year.</p><p>The damage was sweeping. Approximately <a href="https://www.npr.org/2019/07/30/746687015/100-million-people-in-the-u-s-affected-by-capital-one-data-breach">100 million people in the United States</a> and 6 million in Canada were affected. Roughly 140,000 Social Security numbers, about 80,000 linked bank account numbers, and approximately 1 million Canadian Social Insurance Numbers were compromised. The FBI arrested Thompson, and the government stated it believed the data had been recovered with no evidence of fraud. But the reputational and regulatory toll was enormous.</p><p>In August 2020, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency <a href="https://www.occ.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2020/nr-occ-2020-101.html">fined Capital One $80 million</a>, finding that the bank had failed to adequately identify and manage risks as it migrated significant technology operations to the cloud. As Reuters reported at the time, the OCC's consent order cited insufficient network security controls, inadequate data loss prevention measures, and a board that failed to hold management accountable when internal auditing surfaced problems. The OCC also ordered Capital One to overhaul its operations and submit new cybersecurity plans for regulatory review.</p><p>The incident became an industry case study in the dangers of moving fast with new technology. As <a href="https://cyberscoop.com/capital-one-hack-banking-security/">CyberScoop reported</a> in July 2019, a cybersecurity executive at a competing financial company observed that the breach "could be the result of trying too many new things and forcing them through." Capital One's own CEO, Richard D. Fairbank, acknowledged the gravity of the moment. "While I am grateful that the perpetrator has been caught, I am deeply sorry for what has happened," Fairbank said at the time. "I sincerely apologize for the understandable worry this incident must be causing those affected and I am committed to making it right."</p><h2><b>How Capital One rebuilt its security reputation through open-source investment</b></h2><p>What followed was not a retreat from technology but a doubling down — with security explicitly at the center.</p><p>Capital One had declared itself an "<a href="https://capitalonesoftware.com/blog/cloud-migration-journey">open-source first</a>" company in 2015 as part of a broader technology transformation that began over a decade ago. After the breach, the company accelerated its investments in software supply chain security, open-source governance, and AI-driven defense. In August 2022, Capital One joined the <a href="https://openssf.org/">Open Source Security Foundation</a> as a premier member, earning a seat on the organization's Governing Board. Chris Nims, then EVP of Cloud &amp; Productivity Engineering, framed the move as a natural extension of the company's operating philosophy. "As a highly-regulated company, we are seasoned in managing compliance and governance and advocate for standardization, automation and collaboration," Nims said in the <a href="https://openssf.org/press-release/2022/08/24/capital-one-joins-open-source-security-foundation/">OpenSSF announcement</a>.</p><p>Behind that public commitment lay a substantial operational apparatus. Capital One's <a href="https://www.capitalone.com/tech/open-source/">Open Source Program Office</a>, now in its third iteration, manages open-source usage, contributions, and community building across the enterprise. The company has released more than 25 open-source projects and made over 2,000 contributions to approximately 135 external open-source projects, according to the company's own disclosures. Those efforts address not just code dependencies but the entire software development lifecycle — DevSecOps tools, infrastructure, and the collaborative environments, both internal and external, that shape how software gets built and shipped.</p><p>Nureen D'Souza, the director who leads Capital One's OSPO, has spoken publicly about the philosophy underpinning this work. At cdCon 2022, D'Souza described a "company-wide culture with security ingrained" that allows developers to focus on innovation rather than maintenance chores, as <a href="https://sdtimes.com/os/how-capital-one-is-strengthening-the-software-supply-chain/">reported by SD Times</a>. The OSPO's charter emphasizes three pillars: standardization of open-source processes, automation of security policies throughout the delivery pipeline, and ecosystem sustainability through upstream contributions to the foundations and projects the company depends on.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/capitalone/vulnhunter">VulnHunter</a> is the most consequential product of that multi-year effort — and the clearest signal yet that Capital One views open-source collaboration not as charity but as a competitive security strategy. The company argues that modern software supply chains are so deeply interconnected that a single vulnerability in a widely used open-source component can cascade across thousands of enterprises simultaneously. Proprietary defenses, no matter how sophisticated, cannot address a problem that is fundamentally communal. By releasing VulnHunter under a permissive license, Capital One invites the global security research community to stress-test, extend, and improve the tool — effectively crowdsourcing its own defense infrastructure while strengthening the broader ecosystem.</p><h2><b>Inside VulnHunter's three-stage AI engine for finding exploitable code</b></h2><p>For engineering leaders evaluating <a href="https://github.com/capitalone/vulnhunter">VulnHunter</a>, the technical architecture is where the tool's ambitions become concrete. The workflow unfolds in three distinct stages.</p><p>In the first stage — attacker-first forward analysis — VulnHunter begins at the points where an external adversary would interact with a system: API endpoints, network message handlers, file upload interfaces. From each entry point, the tool reasons forward through application logic, tracing data flows, transformations, and internal security checkpoints to determine whether an attacker can actually reach a dangerous code path. This approach mirrors how a skilled penetration tester would probe a system, but automates the process at a scale no human team could match.</p><p>The second stage is where VulnHunter departs most sharply from conventional scanners. After identifying a potential vulnerability, the falsification engine runs a structured reasoning workflow designed to disprove its own conclusion. It searches for assumptions that do not hold, logical gaps in the exploit path, and environmental conditions that would prevent an attack from succeeding. Findings that fail this internal challenge are discarded before any developer sees them. Capital One's explicit goal is to shift the developer's burden away from triaging false alarms — a perennial pain point that erodes trust in security tooling and slows development velocity.</p><p>In the third stage, vulnerabilities that survive the falsification engine trigger an evidence-backed remediation workflow. VulnHunter gathers supporting evidence across the codebase, maps the complete surviving exploit path, explains the defect and the specific capabilities an attacker would gain, and generates targeted code changes for engineering review. The output is not a generic advisory but a concrete, context-aware patch proposal.</p><p>Capital One says it validated VulnHunter internally before release, running it across thousands of repositories spanning tens of business areas. The company reports that the tool identified and remediated vulnerabilities with speed and efficiency that far exceeded what its teams previously achieved through manual triage.</p><h2><b>Why AI-powered attacks are forcing banks to rethink traditional cyber defenses</b></h2><p><a href="https://github.com/capitalone/vulnhunter">VulnHunter</a> arrives at a moment when the cybersecurity landscape is shifting beneath the feet of every enterprise. Capital One's announcement frames the urgency in stark terms: advanced AI models have "dramatically lowered the barrier for bad actors to discover and exploit vulnerabilities in software," and the window before sophisticated AI attack capabilities become affordable and accessible to virtually every adversary is shrinking rapidly.</p><p>The company's own AI security researchers have been tracking these trends closely. At <a href="https://www.capitalone.com/tech/software-engineering/secon-2024/">NeurIPS 2024</a> in Vancouver, Capital One's team presented research and curated a list of nearly 100 papers spanning LLM safety, adversarial resilience, jailbreak attacks, and synthetic data generation. The papers they highlighted — including work on multi-agent defense frameworks, automated red-teaming, and guardrail classifiers — paint a picture of an arms race in which offensive and defensive AI capabilities are co-evolving at breakneck speed.</p><p>Several of those research themes map directly onto VulnHunter's architecture. The falsification engine echoes the adversarial defense strategies explored in papers like "<a href="https://pure.psu.edu/en/publications/backdooralign-mitigating-fine-tuning-based-jailbreak-attack-with-/fingerprints/?sortBy=alphabetically">BackdoorAlign</a>," which demonstrated that embedding a structured safety mechanism into a small number of training examples could recover a model's safety alignment without degrading performance. The attacker-first forward analysis reflects the philosophy of "<a href="https://arxiv.org/html/2406.18510v1">WildTeaming</a>," a framework that collects and analyzes real-world jailbreak attempts to build more resilient models. And VulnHunter's emphasis on minimizing false positives parallels the goals of "GuardFormer," a guardrail classifier that outperformed GPT-4 on safety benchmarks while running 14 times faster.</p><p>The thread connecting all of this work is a conviction that traditional, reactive security — monitoring networks, patching known vulnerabilities, responding to incidents after they occur — is no longer sufficient when adversaries can use AI to discover and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities at machine speed. The only durable defense, Capital One argues, is to find and fix the vulnerabilities in your own code before attackers find them first.</p><h2><b>What Capital One's cloud security journey reveals about the entire banking industry</b></h2><p>Capital One's arc from breach victim to open-source security contributor also illuminates a broader reckoning across financial services. When Capital One <a href="https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2019-07-30/capital-one-cloud-safety-hacker-breach">moved aggressively to Amazon Web Services</a> in the mid-2010s, it was a rarity among major banks. Most financial institutions simply did not trust third parties to store their most sensitive data. Capital One's CIO at the time, Rob Alexander, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterhigh/2016/12/12/how-capital-one-became-a-leading-digital-bank/">publicly championed the cloud</a> as more secure than the bank's own data centers — a claim that the 2019 breach complicated considerably.</p><p>The <a href="https://cyberscoop.com/capital-one-hack-banking-security/">CyberScoop report</a> from that period captured the tension within the industry. W. Patrick Opet, managing director of cybersecurity at JP Morgan Chase, described a cultural shift in banking from prioritizing traders to prioritizing developers: "Now, it's 'Focus on the developer, turn everything into code, and automate everything.'" Mark Nicholson, Deloitte's cyber leader for the financial industry, noted that the pressure to move quickly was exposing "weaknesses in the development methodology." And the breach itself was a reminder that even as Chase spent $600 million annually on cybersecurity, relatively simple vulnerabilities — like the Apache Struts bug that enabled the Equifax breach — could undercut massive investments in data protection.</p><p>Seven years later, the industry has largely followed Capital One into the cloud, and the security challenges have only intensified. The question is no longer whether to use cloud infrastructure but how to secure the software that runs on it. VulnHunter represents Capital One's answer: rather than relying solely on network-level controls and perimeter defenses, push security directly into the code itself, at the moment it is written. The open-source release also carries implicit competitive pressure. If VulnHunter gains traction among developers and security teams, it could set a new baseline for what enterprise security tooling is expected to do — and force rival banks, fintechs, and cloud providers to match or exceed its capabilities.</p><p>Whether <a href="https://github.com/capitalone/vulnhunter">VulnHunter</a> lives up to that ambition will depend on adoption, community engagement, and the tool's real-world performance against the increasingly sophisticated AI-powered attacks it was designed to counter. But the release itself tells a story that extends well beyond any single tool or any single company. In 2019, a misconfigured firewall exposed 100 million records and turned Capital One into a cautionary tale about the cost of moving fast without moving carefully. In 2026, the same institution is open-sourcing the kind of AI-driven defense it wishes it had built sooner — and betting that the best way to protect its own code is to help the entire industry protect theirs.</p><p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[This brief talk will describe a personal remote-control protocol that can be run over APRS and potentially other similar location messaging protocols. APRS is an amateur VHF/UHF ad-hoc, wide area, resilient digital mesh network relaying position information. Amateur APRS networks operate using AX25 packet radio at 144 &amp; 432MHz and can have a similar range per node to UHF LoRa and Meshtastic networks. I designed this protocol to remotely operate appliances in my house or my van, all within the terms of the amateur licence, without the use of public cellular networking or Internet WiFi nodes.
 
My requirement was for a cheap off-the-shelf means to relay data two ways from inside a pub to my camper van 2-3 miles distant. The talk will include a description of the overlay protocol and its implementation using a Raspberry Pi Zero and a cheap Baofeng handy talkie (HT). I will explain how a couple of simple Bash scripts running over Direwolf on the Pi translate my adapted APRS messages and then are used to control a wide range of electrical appliances. The talk includes a demonstration of remote control of a couple of units in my van which is located some distance away.
 
The talk will focus on APRS, and a theoretical and practical comparison will be made between APRS running over conventional AFSK and over LoRa. Other options including Meshtastic on the licence free and other frequencies will be covered.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[If you frequently use WhatsApp for voice and video calls, dealing with loud background noise is about to get much easier. A new software update is bringing system-level microphone controls directly into the active call screen. Instead of forcing you to swipe away from your conversation to find the right audio settings, the app now places these useful sound filters right at your fingertips.



The new call menu offers four different audio processing choices



During an active voice or video chat, you can now tap the "More" button at the bottom of the screen to open the new microphone settings. This menu lets you switch between four distinct modes without ever dropping or interrupting your current call. Standard mode keeps the default audio balance. Voice Isolation blocks out surrounding noise so the other person can hear you clearly.



Wide Spectrum lets all the background sounds through, which is great if you want to share a live event. Finally, Automatic mode lets the phone decide the best option based on your situation.



These features actually come directly from the iPhone operating system rather than the messaging app itself. Apple first introduced these audio filters back in iOS 15, but most people never used them because they were hidden inside the Control Center. By bringing this shortcut directly into the call interface, the messaging platform is making these tools far more accessible.



Once you pick a preferred setting, the app remembers your choice for all future calls. You do not have to dig into the menu every time you ring a friend. The update is currently rolling out slowly through the App Store, so it might take a few weeks before it shows up on your device.]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-01/meta-is-building-a-cloud-business-to-sell-excess-ai-compute">Meta is reportedly planning a cloud business</a> that would sell access to AI computing power and models, extending its internal infrastructure into a commercial service for outside developers and enterprises. Reuters, citing Bloomberg’s reporting, noted that the planned offering would allow customers to access AI models hosted on Meta’s infrastructure and pay based on usage, effectively positioning the company in the <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2255598/what-is-iaas-your-data-center-in-the-cloud.html">infrastructure-as-a-service</a> and AI platform markets. On the surface, this seems like a logical next step. If you are already spending enormous amounts of money to build AI infrastructure, there is a natural temptation to ask whether some of that investment can be monetized beyond your own internal use.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have seen this pattern before. A company builds sophisticated internal systems, recognizes their value, and then begins to imagine that becoming a cloud provider is simply a matter of exposing those capabilities to external customers. It sounds straightforward, especially given the excitement around AI and the demand for high-performance infrastructure. But cloud computing is not just another distribution model. It is not simply a matter of offering on-demand multitenant services and charging a fee. It is a deeply operational, trust-based business in a market that punishes companies that do not fully understand what enterprise customers require.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A crowded neocloud market</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first problem Meta faces is that this is not an open opportunity. The <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/4140865/neoclouds-run-ai-cheaper-and-better.html">neocloud</a> space, meaning purpose-built AI infrastructure delivered as a service, is already crowded and increasingly difficult to enter. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google dominate the conversation for obvious reasons. They have years of cloud operating experience, broad service portfolios, global reach, mature ecosystems, and deeply established enterprise relationships. Oracle remains a serious player as well, especially in enterprise applications, data platforms, and performance-sensitive workloads. IBM still matters in <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/964498/what-is-hybrid-cloud-computing.html">hybrid cloud</a>, operations, and industries where governance and regulatory rigor remain central.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That list alone should give Meta pause. These companies are not just infrastructure vendors. They are experienced cloud operators. They have spent years building not only the underlying platforms, but also the native capabilities enterprises now expect by default. Those capabilities include security, governance, identity management, observability, support, compliance, billing controls, resilience planning, and integration with the broader enterprise technology estate. These are not secondary features. They are part of the core value proposition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is why late entry into the cloud market is so hard. A new provider is not just competing on price or capacity. It is competing against accumulated trust. Enterprises are not casual buyers. They are selecting long-term operating environments for applications, data, AI models, and business-critical processes. They want confidence that the provider understands how these services will be consumed, governed, and supported over time. Meta is entering a market where the incumbents already have a major head start on all of those fronts.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Harder than it looks</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the years, I have had many technology companies come to me and say they wanted to reposition their technology in the cloud space, either as <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2256637/what-is-saas-software-as-a-service-defined.html">software as a service</a> or infrastructure as a service. In the beginning, enthusiasm is always high. The technology is impressive. The market size looks attractive. The revenue models appear compelling. Investors love the story. Then we begin to walk through what it really means to operate as a cloud provider, and the optimism usually fades fast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The questions become very practical and very uncomfortable. How will tenants be isolated? How will <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/518296/what-is-iam-identity-and-access-management-explained.html">identity and access controls</a> work across different kinds of customers? What governance models will be built in natively? How will workloads be monitored, optimized, and secured? What does support look like 24 hours a day, across regions, across industries, across compliance boundaries? How will outages be handled, communicated, and remediated? How will the platform integrate with existing customer tools for operations, policy management, and security response? How much investment will it take just to become credible before you even begin to differentiate?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once companies fully understand the complexities, market dynamics, and the capital and execution required to compete even with secondary players, many of them back off. They realize that cloud technology is not a packaging exercise. It is a transformation in how a company designs, operates, supports, sells, and evolves technology. That is why I remain skeptical when any company assumes it can translate internal infrastructure excellence into external cloud success without a very long, disciplined commitment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta’s market readiness</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, Meta is not lacking in financial resources. If any company can afford to spend aggressively in this space, it is Meta. The company has the capital to build infrastructure, absorb losses, hire experienced talent, and stay in the market long enough to make a serious attempt. I would never argue that Meta is too small or too poor to try. Quite the opposite. If there is any non-traditional entrant with the financial scale to force itself into the conversation, Meta would be high on the list.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But money does not erase complexity. It only gives you the chance to confront it. The real question is not whether Meta can afford to become a cloud provider. The question is whether Meta has what it takes to become an <em>excellent </em>cloud provider. Those are two very different things. Enterprises are not going to move meaningful workloads to a new platform simply because the company behind it is wealthy or technically famous. They are going to ask whether the provider understands enterprise consumption patterns, enterprise risk, enterprise governance, and enterprise operations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is where the challenge becomes much more serious. Meta has extensive experience running infrastructure for itself. That is valuable, but internal operating excellence is not the same thing as external service maturity. Running systems for your own workloads allows a high degree of control over architecture, standards, priorities, and operating assumptions. Running systems for paying customers requires flexibility, consistency, transparency, and support across a wide range of use cases that you do not control. Those are very different disciplines, and companies often underestimate the gap between them.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What exactly is Meta?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another concern here is strategic clarity. Meta already has a complicated market identity. It is a social media company, an advertising platform company, a hardware company, an AI company, and still, in the minds of many, the company that spent billions pursuing the metaverse. If it now wants to be viewed as a serious cloud infrastructure provider, it will need to explain not only what it is offering, but why customers should believe this is a durable long-term commitment and not just another adjacent experiment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That uncertainty can be damaging. Customers want stable providers with clear strategic intent. They do not want to architect important systems around a platform if they suspect the provider may lose interest, shift direction, or reframe the business after a few years of uneven results. Cloud computing requires patience, consistency, and deep customer orientation. It is not a market where strategic ambiguity helps.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This could become confusing for Meta internally as well. Building a true cloud business demands focus. It demands years of investment in areas that may not be glamorous but are absolutely necessary, such as governance, operations, controls, support frameworks, partner programs, and enterprise sales alignment. If the company is not willing to make those sacrifices fully and for the long term, the initiative will struggle.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What's changed</h2>
<ul>
<li><code>/fork</code> now copies your conversation into a new background session (its own row in <code>claude agents</code>) while you keep working; the in-session subagent it used to launch is now <code>/subtask</code></li>
<li>Added <code>claude auto-mode reset</code> to restore the default auto-mode configuration, with a confirmation prompt (pass <code>--yes</code> to skip)</li>
<li>Added a session-wide limit on WebSearch tool calls (default 200, tunable via <code>CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_WEB_SEARCHES_PER_SESSION</code>) to stop runaway search loops</li>
<li>Added a per-session cap on subagent spawns (default 200, override with <code>CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENTS_PER_SESSION</code>) to stop runaway delegation loops; <code>/clear</code> resets the budget</li>
<li>MCP tool calls running longer than 2 minutes now move to the background automatically so the session stays usable; configure the threshold or disable with <code>CLAUDE_CODE_MCP_AUTO_BACKGROUND_MS</code></li>
<li>Typing <code>/resume</code> in the agent view now opens a picker of past sessions — including sessions deleted from the list — and resumes your pick as a background session</li>
<li>Fixed plan mode auto-running file-modifying Bash commands (e.g. <code>touch</code>, <code>rm</code>) without a permission prompt or SDK <code>canUseTool</code> callback</li>
<li>Fixed worktree creation following a repository-committed symlink at <code>.claude/worktrees</code>, which could create files outside the repository</li>
<li>Fixed a <code>continue:false</code> hook's halt being dropped when the tool fails or completes mid-stream, and hook infrastructure errors being misreported as user rejections</li>
<li>Fixed SIGTERM during a running Bash tool orphaning the command's process tree in print/SDK mode; the CLI now aborts the turn, kills the tree, and exits 143</li>
<li>Fixed <code>/background</code> and <code>claude --bg</code> failing with "EUNKNOWN: unknown error, uv_spawn" on Windows when Group Policy blocks PowerShell 5.1; the daemon now prefers PowerShell 7</li>
<li>Fixed shell mode (<code>!</code>) not executing commands containing file paths while the path autocomplete popup was open</li>
<li>Fixed auto-mode denial notifications rendering broken characters when a long denial reason was truncated mid-emoji</li>
<li>Fixed Ctrl+J not inserting a newline in the agent view dispatch input on terminals with extended key reporting, and surfaced the newline shortcut in the <code>?</code> help overlay</li>
<li>Fixed <code>/ultrareview</code> rejecting PR references like <code>#123</code>, <code>PR 123</code>, and pasted PR URLs; error hints now name the command you actually typed</li>
<li>Fixed <code>/ultrareview &lt;branch&gt;</code> not fetching the branch from origin when it exists remotely; it now suggests the closest branch name on typos</li>
<li>Fixed <code>/ultrareview</code> skipping the billing confirmation in a new conversation after <code>/clear</code></li>
<li>Fixed <code>/ultrareview</code>'s "not a git repository" error on Claude Desktop now suggesting the project's repository folder instead of terminal commands</li>
<li>Fixed hosted (host-managed) sessions failing at startup when repository settings configured mTLS certs, extra CA bundles, or OAuth scopes; these transport settings are now ignored with a warning</li>
<li>Fixed a spurious "File has not been read yet" error when editing a file that had been read with offset/limit before resuming a session</li>
<li>Fixed <code>ExitWorktree</code> failing with "no active EnterWorktree session" after resuming a session with <code>--continue</code>/<code>--resume</code> in print/SDK mode</li>
<li>Fixed the workflow agent grid staying empty for Remote Control clients that join a session mid-run</li>
<li>Fixed streaming-mode control requests being marked complete before their handler finished, which could lose the request on session restart</li>
<li>Fixed background sessions created with <code>/fork</code> losing their live-parent protection after a state write failure</li>
<li>Fixed reopening a stopped background session from the agent view failing silently — it now resumes the session, or shows why it can't and lets you force a restart</li>
<li>Fixed agent teams: a stopping teammate could send the leader duplicate idle notifications when team initialization re-ran within a session</li>
<li>Fixed the plan-approval dialog footer splitting "ctrl+g to edit in " apart when the file path is long</li>
<li>Fixed the welcome banner keeping its old panel widths after a combined width+height terminal resize in fullscreen mode</li>
<li>Fixed diff previews losing their line numbers and +/- markers in narrow layouts</li>
<li>Fixed @-mentions attaching nothing after a partial file read, plugin uninstall targeting the wrong marketplace, and false "Command timed out" on exit code 143</li>
<li>Fixed OpenTelemetry HTTP exports being rejected with 411/400 by Azure Monitor and other endpoints that don't accept chunked transfer encoding</li>
<li>Fixed OTLP event log records missing <code>trace_id</code>/<code>span_id</code> when <code>TRACEPARENT</code> is set in SDK/headless mode</li>
<li>Fixed conversations with many images incorrectly failing with "Request too large" errors, and improved the error message to explain the actual cause</li>
<li>Fixed web search and web fetch returning "API Error" text as search results or page content when the API was overloaded</li>
<li>Improved web search and web fetch reliability by retrying 529 errors and rate-limited requests with bounded backoff</li>
<li>Improved prompt caching: the mid-conversation system block now works behind LLM gateways and custom base URLs (Bedrock, Vertex, 1P)</li>
<li>Improved background agent attach: cold-attaching now instantly shows the formatted transcript while the session boots, instead of a blank wait</li>
<li>Reduced token usage in inter-agent messaging: <code>SendMessage</code> bodies are no longer duplicated into replayed history and tool results</li>
<li>Changed <code>/fork</code> to name the copy after your prompt when the session has no title, so the row is recognizable in the agent view</li>
<li>Changed bare <code>/btw</code> to reopen the side-question panel on your most recent exchange so you can browse earlier answers</li>
<li>Changed the <code>←</code> footer hint to pulse <code>N done</code> for a moment when a background agent finishes while nothing needs your input</li>
<li>Deprecated the Task tool's <code>mode</code> parameter (now ignored); subagents inherit the parent session's permission mode by default</li>
<li>Changed Enterprise <code>forceLoginMethod</code> to be enforced for VS Code extension, SDK, <code>setup-token</code>, and <code>install-github-app</code> logins, not just the terminal</li>
<li>Changed session transcripts to record the reasoning effort level on each assistant message</li>
<li>Changed headless/SDK sessions to apply a <code>set_model</code> control request mid-turn; the next model round-trip uses the new model instead of waiting for the next turn</li>
<li>Changed agent view / <code>claude agents --json</code>: sessions waiting on a sandbox, MCP-input, or managed-settings prompt now show as "Needs input" instead of "Working"</li>
<li>Updated the auth status panel title from "Cloud authentication" to "Authentication"</li>
<li>Corrected an earlier release note (2.1.200): tmux through the 3.6 series lacks synchronized output; newer tmux with support is detected automatically</li>

            <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Sipeed has introduced <strong>NanoKVM-Go</strong>, a compact USB-C KVM-over-IP device that combines remote hardware management with AI integration. Designed for Linux, Windows, macOS, and other USB-C devices, NanoKVM-Go allows users to remotely view and control a system through a web browser while exposing its keyboard, mouse, and display functions to AI agents via the <strong>Model Context Protocol (MCP)</strong>.</p>

<p>Unlike traditional KVM-over-IP solutions that require multiple cables and dedicated networking hardware, NanoKVM-Go simplifies the setup into a single USB-C connection, making remote administration and AI-assisted automation more accessible for developers, system administrators, and homelab enthusiasts.</p>

<h2><strong>A Portable USB-C KVM</strong></h2>

<p>NanoKVM-Go is roughly the size of a smartwatch, measuring about <strong>45 × 40 × 15 mm</strong>, yet it combines several functions into a single device.</p>

<p>Key hardware features include:</p>

<ul><li>USB-C connection for video, audio, keyboard, mouse, and power</li>
	<li>Wi-Fi 6 connectivity</li>
	<li>Browser-based remote management</li>
	<li>Support for virtual USB storage</li>
	<li>Built-in Tailscale integration for secure remote access</li>
	<li>Fanless aluminum enclosure with low power consumption</li>
</ul><p>Because it connects over USB-C using DisplayPort Alt Mode, the device can manage a wide variety of hardware without requiring software installation on the target system.</p>

<h2><strong>Designed for Linux and Beyond</strong></h2>

<p>NanoKVM-Go supports numerous USB-C devices, including:</p>

<ul><li>Linux desktops and laptops</li>
	<li>Windows PCs</li>
	<li>macOS systems</li>
	<li>Mini PCs</li>
	<li>Steam Deck</li>
	<li>Android devices with DisplayPort Alt Mode</li>
	<li>iPhone 15 and newer models</li>
	<li>Tablets supporting USB-C video output</li>
</ul><p>For Linux users, this provides an easy way to perform BIOS configuration, operating system installation, kernel debugging, or remote troubleshooting—even when the operating system is unavailable.</p>

<h2><strong>AI Integration Through MCP</strong></h2>

<p>One of NanoKVM-Go's defining features is its <strong>AI-native design</strong>.</p>

<p>Rather than simply streaming a desktop remotely, the device exposes its KVM functions as an <strong>MCP (Model Context Protocol) server</strong>, allowing compatible AI agents to interact with the connected computer using hardware-level keyboard and mouse input.</p>

<p>This enables AI systems to:</p>

<ul><li>View the screen</li>
	<li>Move the mouse</li>
	<li>Type on the keyboard</li>
	<li>Launch applications</li>
	<li>Navigate user interfaces</li>
	<li>Complete repetitive desktop workflows</li>
</ul><p>Because control happens at the hardware level, AI agents can interact with systems regardless of the operating system installed.</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 107 enterprises, AI agents are being given real access to systems and data while the controls meant to contain them lag behind. More than half have already had a confirmed agent security incident or a near-miss; only about a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most agents still share credentials; and only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents. The security stack is overwhelmingly borrowed from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than purpose-built for agents, spending remains a thin slice of the security budget, and enterprises are evenly split on whether their defenses are keeping pace with AI-enabled attackers. The result is an agent security gap — autonomous agents proliferating faster than the identity, isolation, and enforcement controls needed to hold them.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines how enterprises secure their AI agents: what tooling they run, how they manage agent identity and isolation, what has already gone wrong, how much they spend, and whether they believe their defenses are keeping pace with AI-enabled attackers.</p><p>The central finding is an agent security gap — the distance between the autonomy enterprises are granting their agents and the controls in place to contain them. More than half of organizations (54%) have already experienced a confirmed agent security incident (18%) or a near-miss caught before harm (36%). The structural weakness beneath those numbers is identity: only about a third (32%) give every agent its own scoped, managed identity, while the rest report that some agents share credentials or that agents mostly run on shared API keys and human or service-account credentials. When agents share credentials, a single compromised or over-permissioned agent carries a wide blast radius — and only three in ten enterprises (30%) isolate their highest-risk agents in sandboxes to bound that radius.</p><p>What makes the gap notable is how comfortable enterprises are inside it. The security stack is overwhelmingly provider-native — OpenAI’s guardrails (51%), Google’s and Microsoft’s cloud controls, and Anthropic’s managed-agent controls dominate, while the dedicated agent-security specialists barely register — and satisfaction with that borrowed stack is high, averaging 4.2 out of 5. Yet spending remains a thin slice of the security budget, only a third of enterprises believe their AI defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers, and a clear majority plan to change tooling within the year. Enterprises are satisfied with controls they are simultaneously preparing to replace.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this instrument focused on enterprise agent security — the tooling, identity, isolation, and enforcement controls organizations use to secure autonomous AI agents. Responses are filtered to organizations with more than 100 employees (n=107; the survey’s smallest size band, 1–100 employees, is excluded), drawn from a single June 2026 wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Several questions were multiple-select, so those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By role the sample is senior and buyer-credible: 45% are final decision-makers for AI purchases and another 30% recommenders or influencers. Managers (43%), individual contributors (24%), VPs and directors (15%), and the C-suite (11%) make up the seniority mix. By organization size the sample is mid-market-weighted: 251–1,000 (42%) and 101–250 (25%) employees lead, with 1,001–5,000 (19%), 5,001–10,000 (8%), and 10,001+ (7%) above them. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 23%, followed by Manufacturing (15%), Retail/E-commerce (14%), and Healthcare/Life Sciences (13%).</p><p>At 107 respondents the sample is large enough to read directionally but should be treated as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It skews toward the mid-market, so it is best read as the view from organizations actively standing up agent security rather than from the largest operators.</p><p>Satisfaction ratings are computed on the respondents who answered each rating question; the overall satisfaction score reflects 82 of the 107 qualified respondents.</p><h2>Finding 1: The incidents are already here</h2><p><b>More than half have had an agent security incident or near-miss</b></p><p>We asked whether organizations had experienced an agent security incident — a confirmed breach, or a near-miss caught before harm. Most that run agents in production had.</p><div></div><p>This is the report’s defining number. More than half of organizations (54%) have already had an agent security event — 18% a confirmed incident and 36% a near-miss caught before it caused harm. Only 42% report nothing, and a small remainder either run no agents in production or don’t track such events. That so many report near-misses rather than only confirmed incidents is telling: enterprises are catching problems, but they are catching them close to the edge. The controls examined in the rest of this report — identity, isolation, enforcement — are what determine whether the next near-miss stays a near-miss.</p><p>Exposure scales with company size, but containment does not. The incident-or-near-miss rate rises from 49% in the mid-market (companies with 101-1,000 employees) to 63% at larger enterprises (above 1,000 employees), while sandbox isolation of high-risk agents falls from 35% to 20%, and satisfaction with security tooling drops from 4.36 to 3.97. The organizations running the most agents across the most systems carry the most incidents and the least of the one control that bounds an incident's blast radius.</p><h2>Finding 2: The identity gap</h2><p><b>Only a third give every agent its own scoped identity</b></p><p>We asked how enterprises manage the identity of their AI agents — whether each agent has its own credentials, or agents share them. Full per-agent identity is the exception.</p><div></div><p>Rolled together, the overlapping answers show 69% of enterprises (74 of 107) with credential sharing somewhere in the agent fleet. Identity is the structural weakness beneath the incidents. Only about a third of enterprises (32%) give every agent its own scoped, managed identity — the precondition for least-privilege access and clean attribution. Nearly half (48%) say some agents have scoped identities but many still share credentials, and another 32% say agents mostly run on shared API keys or borrowed human and service-account credentials. (Respondents could describe more than one pattern across their agent fleet, so these overlap.) </p><p>The consequence is direct: when agents share credentials, an over-permissioned or compromised agent can act with far more reach than intended, and forensics after an incident cannot cleanly tell which agent did what. The non-human identity problem — giving every agent its own governed identity — is the single largest unfinished piece of enterprise agent security.</p><p>Moreover, a company’s agent credential posture is correlated with incidents. Organizations with credential sharing anywhere in the fleet were hit — with an incident or a near-miss in the past twelve months — at 63.5% (47 of 74). Organizations where every agent carries its own scoped identity were hit at 40.9% (9 of 22). The fully-scoped group is small, so for now the relationship is an association rather than proven causation, and the gap is concentrated in the mid-market — but within a single survey, a twenty-three point difference in incident rate suggests significance.</p><h2>Finding 3: Observe and enforce, but rarely isolate</h2><p><b>Only three in 10 sandbox their highest-risk agents</b></p><p>We asked what an organization’s agent security posture looks like in practice — whether they observe, enforce, isolate, or some combination. The control that bounds damage is the least common.</p><div></div><p>Monitoring and enforcement are reasonably common; containment is not. Roughly half of enterprises observe agent activity (47%) or enforce scoped permissions at runtime (49%), but only 30% isolate their highest-risk agents in sandboxes that bound the blast radius when the other controls fail. That ordering is backwards from a defense-in-depth standpoint: observation tells you what happened, enforcement tries to prevent it, but isolation is what limits the damage when prevention fails — and it is the control enterprises have adopted least. Combined with the identity gap in Finding 2, the picture is of agents that are watched and permissioned but rarely boxed in, which is precisely the configuration in which a single failure propagates.</p><h2>Finding 4: Security runs on borrowed, provider-native controls</h2><p><b>Guardrails from OpenAI, Google and Microsoft dominate; specialists barely register</b></p><p>We asked which agent security tooling enterprises use, and which is their primary layer. The answer favors the model providers and hyperscalers over the dedicated security vendors.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises are securing agents with tools that came bundled with their models and clouds. OpenAI’s guardrails lead at 51%, followed by Google’s and Microsoft’s cloud-native controls and Anthropic’s managed-agent controls — and when asked to name their single primary security layer, 82% name one of these provider-native offerings. The purpose-built agent-security category — Palo Alto’s Prisma AIRS, CrowdStrike, Cisco AI Defense, Zenity, HiddenLayer, Check Point’s Lakera, Okta for AI Agents, non-human identity platforms — barely registers, each in the low single digits, and only 5% run no dedicated tooling at all. As with retrieval and evaluation elsewhere in this series, the provider bundle is winning the default: enterprises reach first for the guardrails their platform ships, and the independent security layer that would address the identity and isolation gaps has not yet been adopted at scale.</p><p>The provider-default pattern is consistent across both Q2 survey waves. In April–May (n=110), usage was led by the same names — OpenAI's controls at 26%, Azure at 15%, AWS at 14%, Google at 12% — with every dedicated agent-security specialist at 3% or below and one in ten using no dedicated tooling at all. The common finding from the two surveys: Enterprises are defaulting to the solutions provided by the platform they’re using, and the specialist category vendors have yet to become big players here.</p><p>(<i>A note on reading these shares. As described in the methodology section, the respondent sample is self-selected and skews mid-market, and the usage question counted every vendor or approach a respondent has in place — so the figures measure presence in the security stack rather than spending or exclusivity. Individual vendor percentages therefore carry all the usual sample caveats. The structural pattern, however, held across both Q2 waves on two differently worded questions: provider-native and hyperscaler controls lead, and dedicated agent-security specialists remain in low single digits. Read the individual shares loosely and the pattern with confidence.)</i></p><h2>Finding 5: And enterprises are comfortable with it</h2><p><b>Satisfaction is high, even as incidents mount and identity lags</b></p><p>We asked how satisfied enterprises are with their current agent security tooling. The comfort is notably out of step with the exposure documented above.</p><div></div><p>Satisfaction with agent security tooling is high — 4.2 out of 5 overall, and 4.1 for value for money — among the most positive readings in this series. That is the striking part: enterprises are highly satisfied with a stack that is mostly borrowed provider guardrails, even though more than half have already had an incident or near-miss and only a third give their agents scoped identities. The comfort appears to rest on the convenience and low friction of provider-native controls rather than on demonstrated containment. It is a false comfort in the making — the same enterprises expressing satisfaction are, as Finding 8 shows, a clear majority planning to change tooling within the year, which suggests the confidence is thinner than the score implies.</p><h2>Finding 6: Budgets haven’t caught up</h2><p><b>Most spend under a tenth of the security budget on agents</b></p><p>We asked what share of the security budget enterprises allocate to securing AI agents. For a fast-emerging risk, the allocation is modest.</p><div></div><p>Spending on agent security is still a thin slice. The most common allocation is 6–10% of the security budget (46%), and a third of enterprises (34%) spend 5% or less; only a quarter (24%) devote more than a tenth. Given the incident rate in Finding 1 and the identity and isolation gaps in Findings 2 and 3, the budget looks like a lagging indicator — the risk has arrived faster than the funding to address it. The enterprises spending more than a tenth of their security budget on agents are a distinct minority, and they are likely the ones building the scoped-identity and isolation controls the rest have not.</p><h1>Finding 7: The arms race is even, at best</h1><p><b>Only a third think their AI defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers</b></p><p>We asked how enterprises assess the balance between their AI-enabled defenses and AI-enabled attackers. Confidence is far from settled.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises are split on whether they are winning. Only about a third (35%) believe their AI-enabled defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers; the rest are less sure — 32% call it roughly even, 21% think attackers are ahead, and another 21% say it is too early to tell. Taken together, a clear majority (53%) rate the balance as even or tilted toward the attacker. That uncertainty sits uneasily beside the high satisfaction of Finding 5: enterprises are content with their tooling yet unconvinced it is winning the contest it exists to win. In a domain where the offense is also compounding with AI, an even race is not a comfortable place to be.</p><h2>Finding 8: A security reshuffle is coming</h2><p><b>Nearly six in 10 plan to adopt or switch tooling within a year</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises plan to adopt a new, additional, or replacement agent security solution, and which they are considering. Few intend to stand pat.</p><div></div><p>The security stack is not settled. While 41% have no plans to change, a clear majority (59%) intend to adopt a new, additional, or replacement agent security solution within twelve months, and 29% within the next quarter — a strong signal that, high satisfaction notwithstanding, enterprises know the current stack is provisional. Incidents are what start the buying cycle. </p><p>Among organizations that have been hit, 42.1% plan to adopt, add, or replace agent security tooling within the next ninety days, against 14.0% of organizations with no incident — and after a confirmed incident it becomes majority behavior, at 52.6%. Getting hit also changes the threat assessment: 33.3% of hit organizations say AI-armed attackers are ahead of their defenses, against 8.0% of the unhit. Experience, in this data, is the strongest predictor of both urgency and pessimism.</p><p>The consideration set still leans provider-native (OpenAI 34%, Google 30%, Anthropic 29%, Azure 25%), but the dedicated security vendors — Cloudflare, Cisco, Palo Alto, Okta, Check Point’s Lakera — draw early interest in the mid-to-high single digits, more than their current footprint. </p><p>What the shopping does not yet include is the identity layer specifically. Twelve percent of the respondents include an agent-identity product — Okta for AI Agents, Microsoft Entra Agent ID, or a non-human identity platform — anywhere in their consideration set, and among the credential-sharing organizations that have already had an incident, identity consideration is essentially unchanged, at roughly one in ten. The control most directly implicated by the incident data is the one largely missing from the purchase plans. Whether this wave hardens the provider-native default or finally opens the door to purpose-built agent security — the identity and isolation controls the incidents call for — is the question this series will keep tracking.</p><h2>The bottom line: A security gap that autonomy will test first</h2><p>Organizations with more than 100 employees are giving AI agents real reach into systems and data while securing them with controls built for something else. More than half have already had an incident or near-miss; only a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most still share credentials; only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents; and the stack doing this work is overwhelmingly borrowed from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than purpose-built for agents.</p><p>The uncomfortable pairing is confidence with exposure: satisfaction with the current tooling is among the highest in this series, yet spending is a thin slice of the security budget, only a third believe their defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers, and a clear majority are already planning to replace what they have. At 107 respondents in a single wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market — but the direction is clear: agent adoption is running ahead of agent security, and the controls that matter most when something fails — scoped identity and isolation — are the ones enterprises have built least. The agent security gap is not a coverage problem that a provider guardrail will close on its own; it is a problem of identity, isolation, and enforcement built for autonomous software. The open question for later waves is whether enterprises close it deliberately — or whether a confirmed incident closes it for them.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 107 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single June 2026 wave. This is a directional read, not a precise measurement — the sample is self-selected and skews mid-market, so it's best read as the view from organizations actively standing up agent security rather than from the largest operators.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 101 enterprises, the infrastructure that feeds AI agents their business context is being built faster than it can be trusted. Retrieval-augmented generation is already the default context source, and provider-native retrieval has quietly overtaken the dedicated vector databases that define the category — yet a majority of enterprises have already watched their agents produce confident, wrong answers traced to missing or inconsistent context. A governed semantic layer is emerging as the fix, but most are still building it; the field is converging on hybrid retrieval; and even as provider-native tools lead in practice, a plurality say they intend to keep best-of-breed. The result is a context gap — agents that sound authoritative running on a foundation their owners do not yet fully trust.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines the enterprise RAG and context layer: what feeds AI agents their business context, which retrieval systems enterprises run, how they buy and measure them, where the architecture is heading, and — most revealingly — how often that context is already failing them.</p><p>The central finding is a context gap — the distance between how confidently enterprise agents answer and how reliable the context beneath them actually is. A majority of enterprises (57%) report that in the past six months their AI agents produced confident but wrong answers they traced to missing or inconsistent business context, and more than half of those said it happened more than once. This is not a fringe failure: retrieval is the primary context source for 38% of enterprises, more than any other approach, so when retrieval is thin or inconsistent, the errors it produces are wearing the agent’s authority. The infrastructure to fix it is being built — 58% already run or are building a governed semantic layer — but for most it is not yet in production.</p><p>Underneath, the market is consolidating in a direction that surprises. Provider-native retrieval — OpenAI’s file search (40%) and Google’s Vertex AI Search (38%) — already leads every dedicated vector database, and enterprises expect hybrid retrieval to dominate by the end of 2026 (34%). Yet a plurality (36%) say they intend to keep best-of-breed standalone tools rather than consolidate onto a provider’s native context stack, and a majority (57%) plan to switch or add a provider within the year. Stated preference and actual usage are pulling in opposite directions — the market is buying provider-native while insisting it wants independence.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series. This survey focused on enterprise RAG infrastructure and the context layer — the retrieval systems, semantic layers, and context sources that feed AI agents. Responses are filtered to organizations with more than 100 employees (n=101); the survey drew no responses from organizations of 100 or fewer, so the full sample qualifies. All responses are from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave, so the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Several questions were multiple-select, so those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By organization size the sample concentrates in the mid-market: 251–1,000 employees (31%) and 101–250 (31%) lead, with 1,001–5,000 (20%), 5,001–10,000 (12%), and 10,001+ (7%) above them. By role it spans managers (39%), individual contributors (27%), the C-suite (16%), and VPs and directors (14%); on purchasing authority it is buyer-credible, with 46% final decision-makers and another 26% recommenders or influencers. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 20%, followed by Healthcare/Life Sciences (11%) and a broad spread across retail, transportation, financial services, manufacturing, and education.</p><p>At 101 respondents this is a modest sample and should be read as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It is best read as the view from organizations actively standing up RAG and context infrastructure rather than from the largest operators.</p><h2>Finding 1: Confident and wrong</h2><p><b>More than half have traced agent errors to bad context</b></p><p>We asked whether, in the past six months, enterprises had traced a confident but wrong agent answer to missing or inconsistent business context. Most had.</p><div></div><p>This is the report’s defining number. A majority of enterprises (57%) have already had an AI agent produce a confident, wrong answer they traced to bad context — wrong metrics, stale definitions, or missing documents — and more than half of those have seen it happen more than once. Only 28% report no such failure, and a small remainder either don’t run agents on enterprise data or don’t trace root cause closely enough to know. </p><p>The failure mode is specific and dangerous: the model is not obviously hallucinating; it is confidently wrong because the context feeding it was thin or inconsistent. Everything else in this report — what enterprises retrieve, how they govern it, and what they plan to build — is downstream of this problem.</p><h2>Finding 2: RAG is the default context source</h2><p><b>Retrieval feeds more agents than any other method</b></p><p>We asked what an enterprise’s AI agents primarily use to understand its data. Retrieval leads by a wide margin.</p><div></div><p>Retrieval is the backbone of enterprise context. For 38% of organizations, RAG over documents or a vector index is the primary way agents understand the business — nearly twice the share of the next approach, a governed semantic layer or ontology (21%). Mixed approaches (14%), direct live-system queries (10%), and long-context loading (6%) fill out the rest, and only 2% let agents run on the model’s general knowledge alone. The concentration matters in light of Finding 1: because so much enterprise context flows through retrieval, the quality of that retrieval is the quality of the answer. When RAG is the default source, thin retrieval is not an edge case — it is the main failure surface.</p><p>One approach is notable for its absence from these answers: customizing model weights, also known as fine-tuning. Every leading source of business context is injected at run time. Our most recent direct measurement of fine-tuning comes from our April–May survey wave (a separate survey, n=136), where fine-tuning capabilities ranked last of six factors in model selection at 5% — even as 26% of that sample still named fine-tuning and customization an investment they expect to grow. Fine-tuning has fallen out of the primary selection conversation; context injection is how enterprises make agents knowledgeable about their business.</p><h2>Finding 3: Provider-native retrieval already leads the vector databases</h2><p><b>OpenAI file search and vertex AI search top the dedicated tools</b></p><p>We asked which retrieval systems enterprises run in production today. The answer favors the model providers and hyperscalers over the specialists.</p><div></div><p>The dedicated vector database is no longer the center of the RAG stack. OpenAI’s file search (40%) and Google’s Vertex AI Search (38%) lead — provider-native and hyperscaler-native retrieval — ahead of every purpose-built vector database. Among the specialists, the most-used is the one enterprises already run for other reasons (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, 20%) and the open, embedded option (pgvector, 12%); the pure-play vector databases that define the category — Weaviate, Qdrant, Pinecone, Milvus — each sit in single digits to low double digits. Notably, 13% of enterprises say they still run no production RAG at all. As with the platforms in the parallel infrastructure wave, enterprises are gravitating to retrieval that comes bundled with tools they already buy.</p><p>The shape of this finding held across both Q2 waves. In April–May (n=161), provider-built retrieval led usage there too, while every dedicated vector database remained marginal — the most-used standalone vector database peaked at 8% of that sample — and the hybrid, pluralistic future was already the consensus expectation (34% expected hybrid retrieval to dominate, with another 29% expecting multiple architectures by use case). Two waves, consistent picture: the category that coined the “vector database” term is being collected by the platforms enterprises already buy from.</p><h2>Finding 4: But they say they want to keep best-of-breed</h2><p><b>A plurality resist consolidating onto a provider’s native stack</b></p><p>We asked how enterprises will respond as model providers bundle retrieval, memory, and orchestration into their platforms. Their stated intent cuts against their current usage.</p><div></div><p>Here is the tension at the heart of the stack. Even as provider-native retrieval leads in practice (Finding 3), a plurality of enterprises (36%) say they intend to keep best-of-breed standalone tools rather than consolidate onto a provider’s native context stack — well ahead of the 21% who plan to consolidate. Another 21% expect a mix, and 9% intend to build and own the layer themselves. The gap between what enterprises run and what they say they want is the strategic question of the category: they are adopting bundled retrieval for convenience while asserting they will preserve independence. Which impulse wins — the pull of the provider bundle or the stated preference for modular control — will shape the retrieval market more than any single tool.</p><h2>Finding 5: Hybrid retrieval is the consensus bet</h2><p><b>Vector-only retrieval is already seen as insufficient</b></p><p>We asked which retrieval architecture enterprises expect to dominate their production RAG systems by the end of 2026. The field is converging — with a large share still unsure.</p><div></div><p>The architecture is settling on hybrid. A third (34%) expect hybrid retrieval — embeddings combined with reranking and access controls — to dominate their production systems by the end of 2026, three times the 11% who expect vector-only retrieval to prevail. That is a notable signal: the pure vector-search approach that launched the category is already viewed as insufficient on its own, superseded by pipelines that add reranking for accuracy and access controls for governance — the very access controls whose absence produces the failures in Finding 1. Tellingly, the second-largest answer is uncertainty: 17% simply don’t know, and another 14% expect to move beyond a dedicated vector layer entirely toward tool-first or long-context retrieval. The consensus is not a single tool but a layered pipeline — and it is not yet fully formed.</p><h2>Finding 6: The governed context layer is being built now</h2><p><b>Most run or are building a semantic layer — few in production</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises use a governed semantic or context layer to give agents and BI a shared understanding of their data. Most are on the path; fewer have arrived.</p><div></div><p>The fix for the context gap is under construction. Well over half of enterprises (58%) either run a governed semantic layer in production (25%) or are piloting and building one (34%), and a further 17% are actively evaluating — meaning three-quarters are engaged with the idea in some form. But the balance is telling: more are building than have shipped, so for most enterprises the shared, governed definition layer that would prevent the "confident but wrong" failures of Finding 1 is still a work in progress. The semantic layer is the industry’s answer to inconsistent context; this wave catches it mid-construction, ambition well ahead of production.</p><h2>Finding 7: Bought on ingestion and simplicity, watched for correctness</h2><p><b>Selection favors operability; monitoring favors correctness and security</b></p><p>We asked what matters most when enterprises choose a retrieval system, and what they track once it is running. Both answers lean practical.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises choose retrieval systems on operability. Ease of data ingestion (36%), latency and performance (32%), and operational simplicity (29%) lead the selection criteria — ahead of retrieval accuracy and access control (23% each), the two factors most directly tied to the failures in Finding 1. Once systems are running, the emphasis shifts toward trust: the most-tracked metrics are response correctness (42%) and security and access control (38%), ahead of latency (28%), operational stability (27%), and answer relevance (23%). </p><p>Satisfaction with current systems is moderately positive but not enthusiastic — on a five-point scale, overall satisfaction averages 4.0, with ease of implementation and value for money both near 3.9. Enterprises buy for how easily a system runs and watch it for whether it can be trusted.</p><h2>Finding 8: A retrieval reshuffle is coming</h2><p><b>A majority plan to change providers — and the vector specialists are gaining interest</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises plan to change or add a retrieval provider, and which they are considering. The consideration set differs from today’s stack.</p><div></div><p>The retrieval stack is not settled. While 43% have no plans to change, a small majority (57%) intend to switch or add a provider within twelve months, and a quarter (26%) within the next quarter. The consideration set is where it gets interesting: provider-native retrieval still leads what enterprises are evaluating (OpenAI 22%, Vertex AI Search 21%), but the open-source vector specialists punch above their current footprint — Qdrant (14%) and Milvus (13%) draw more switching interest than their present usage (10% and 6%) would suggest. Read with Finding 4, the picture is a market in flux: enterprises run provider-native today, are evaluating a broader field, and say they want to keep their options open. The reshuffle ahead will test whether best-of-breed intent survives contact with the convenience of the bundle.</p><h1>The bottom line: A context gap that more retrieval alone won’t close</h1><p>Organizations with more than 100 employees are wiring agents into their business faster than they can guarantee the context those agents run on. Retrieval is the default source of enterprise context, and it increasingly comes from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than the dedicated vector databases — yet a majority of enterprises have already watched agents answer confidently and wrongly because that context was thin or inconsistent. The failure is not exotic; it is the predictable result of pointing authoritative-sounding agents at an unreliable foundation.</p><p>The industry’s answer — a governed semantic layer, hybrid retrieval with reranking and access controls — is being built but is mostly not yet in production, and enterprises are pulled between the convenience of provider-native bundles and a stated preference for best-of-breed independence. At 101 respondents in a single Q2 wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market — but the direction is clear: the context layer is the next contested tier of the AI stack, and right now agents are running ahead of it. The context gap is not a retrieval-volume problem that more documents or bigger indexes will solve on their own; it is a problem of governed, consistent, access-aware context. The open question for later waves is whether enterprises finish building that layer before the confident-but-wrong failures move from the lab into decisions that matter.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 101 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave. At this sample size the results should be read as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement — it's a self-selected sample, not a probability sample, and skews toward the mid-market. Respondents include managers, individual contributors, VPs/directors, and the C-suite, with strong purchasing authority, across technology, healthcare, retail, transportation, financial services, manufacturing, and education.</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a majority intend to switch or add providers within the year, many within a quarter. Buying decisions turn on integration and total cost of ownership rather than headline token price — which is fortunate, because most enterprises cannot yet see their unit economics clearly: GPUs sit at half utilization or less, and fewer than half rigorously track what their compute actually costs. The result is a compute gap — heavy, fast-moving investment running ahead of the visibility needed to control it.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines enterprise AI infrastructure and compute: where organizations are in their deployment journey, what they run AI on today, how satisfied they are, what would make them switch, where they plan to evaluate their investments, and — most revealingly — how well they can measure and control the economics of the compute underneath it all.</p><p>The central finding is a compute gap — the distance between how aggressively enterprises are investing in AI infrastructure and how little of its economics they can see. Only about one in five (21%) run AI in production at scale, yet spending intentions are outrunning that maturity: the single largest planned area enterprises plan to evaluate over the next year is AI-specialized clouds (45%), a layer almost none of these enterprises use today. Meanwhile the compute already in place runs cold — 83% report GPU utilization of 50% or less — and fewer than half (44%) can rigorously track what their AI compute costs. Enterprises are buying more infrastructure faster than they can account for what they already own.</p><p>Enterprises are not settled on their infrastructure vendors, either: A clear majority (64%) plan to switch or add an infrastructure provider within twelve months, and 38% within the next quarter — unusually high churn intent for a category this foundational. When they choose, they choose on integration with the existing stack (41%) and total cost of ownership (35%), not on headline price: cost per million tokens is the deciding factor for just 8%. And the frontier constraint that will shape the next round of decisions — the shift from GPU compute to memory bandwidth as inference scales — is barely on the radar, with roughly one in five enterprises either unaware of it or yet to address it.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this survey focused on enterprise AI infrastructure, compute, and inference economics. Responses are filtered to organizations with more than 100 employees (n=107; the survey’s smallest size band, 1–100 employees, is excluded), drawn from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Several questions were multiple-select, so those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By organization size the sample concentrates in the mid-market: 101–250 employees (36%) and 251–1,000 (27%) lead, with 1,001–5,000 (22%), 5,001–10,000 (8%), and 10,001+ (7%) above them. By role it spans managers (38%), individual contributors (28%), VPs and directors (19%), and the C-suite (13%); on purchasing authority it is buyer-credible, with 45% final decision-makers and another 30% recommenders or influencers for AI solutions. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 26%, followed by Healthcare/Life Sciences (15%), Financial Services (13%), and Retail/E-commerce (12%).</p><p>At 107 respondents the sample is large enough to read directionally but should be treated as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It also skews toward the mid-market and toward earlier-stage adopters, so it is best read as the view from organizations actively building out AI infrastructure rather than from the largest hyperscale operators.</p><h2>Finding 1: Ambition outpaces production</h2><p><b>Only one in five run AI in production at scale</b></p><p>We asked where organizations sit in their AI deployment journey. Most are still building toward production rather than operating at scale.</p><div></div><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>38%</b></p></td><td><p><b>are experimenting — running proofs of concept, not yet in production</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>37%</b></p></td><td><p><b>have some workloads in production, but not across the organization</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>21%</b></p></td><td><p><b>run AI in production at scale — the mature minority</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>4%</b></p></td><td><p><b>are not yet running AI workloads at all</b></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The maturity curve is front-loaded. Three-quarters of enterprises (76%) are either experimenting or running only some workloads in production, and just 21% describe AI in production at scale. This matters for everything that follows: the infrastructure decisions in this report are being made largely by organizations still early in deployment, whose compute footprint — and whose costs — are about to grow. The evaluation and switching intentions in Findings 3 and 4 are the leading edge of that build-out, not the settled preferences of operators who have already found what works.</p><h2>Finding 2: Enterprises run on hyperscalers and model APIs</h2><p><b>The specialized GPU clouds barely register — today</b></p><p>We asked which providers and platforms enterprises currently use to run their AI. The answer is a familiar one: the incumbents.</p><div></div><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>48%</b></p></td><td><p><b>use Google Cloud — the most-used platform overall (Microsoft Azure 29%, AWS 22%, Oracle Cloud 22%)</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>41%</b></p></td><td><p><b>use Google’s Gemini models, with OpenAI close behind at 40% and Anthropic at 12%</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>6%</b></p></td><td><p><b>run their own on-prem or co-located GPU clusters; 4% a custom open-source self-managed stack</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>&lt;2%</b></p></td><td><p><b>each use the specialized AI clouds — CoreWeave, Lambda, Crusoe, Nebius, Together, Fireworks and peers</b></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The current stack is hyperscaler-and-API. Google Cloud leads at 48%, and the general-purpose clouds (Google, Microsoft, AWS, Oracle) together with the major model APIs (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic) account for essentially all current deployment. The specialized “neocloud” GPU providers that dominate AI-infrastructure headlines — CoreWeave, Lambda, Crusoe, Nebius and peers — register at or near zero among these enterprises today. Only 6% run their own on-prem GPU clusters and 4% a custom open-source stack. Enterprises are, for now, running AI on the providers they already buy from — which makes the evaluation intentions in Finding 3 all the more striking.</p><p><i>(A note on reading these shares. As described in the methodology section, this sample is self-selected and skews mid-market, and this question counted every provider a respondent uses — an average of 2.1 selections each — so the figures measure presence in the stack rather than spending or primary status. A sample built this way will show a different provider mix than a spend-weighted census of the broader market; Google's strength here, for example, is consistent with its long-standing position among smaller enterprises building on AI. Read these shares as a portrait of what this AI-active cohort runs today, and treat gaps between these figures and industry-wide market share estimates as a property of the sample rather than a contradiction of either.)</i></p><h2>Finding 3: The next dollar goes to infrastructure they don’t yet run</h2><p><b>AI-specialized clouds top the evaluations list</b></p><p>We asked where enterprises planned to evaluate AI infrastructure over the next 12 months. Their answers point away from the stack they run today.</p><div></div><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>45%</b></p></td><td><p><b>AI-specialized clouds (CoreWeave, Lambda, Crusoe, Nebius) — the top planned evaluation area</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>32%</b></p></td><td><p><b>non-NVIDIA accelerators (AWS Trainium, Google TPU, AMD Instinct, Intel Gaudi, in-house ASICs)</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>28%</b></p></td><td><p><b>Nvidia Blackwell (GB300) / next-generation GPUs</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>16%</b></p></td><td><p><b>decentralized or distributed compute networks</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>11%</b></p></td><td><p><b>sovereign or region-specific compute; 9% say none of the above</b></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Here is the report’s sharpest tension. The single most-cited planned evaluation area — AI-specialized clouds, at 45% — is the very category almost none of these enterprises use today (Finding 2). Nearly a third (32%) intend to evaluate non-Nvidia accelerators, and 28% in next-generation Nvidia silicon; even decentralized compute networks (16%) and sovereign compute (11%) draw meaningful interest. Read against current usage, this is not incremental — it is the leading edge of a re-platforming. The direction-of-travel question tells the same story: every infrastructure approach is net-expanding, but specialized AI clouds carry the highest net momentum (+24), edging out even the hyperscalers (+22). Enterprises are preparing to move a meaningful share of AI compute off the general-purpose cloud.</p><p>This continues a trend we saw in our April-May survey wave. Back then, usage of the AI-specialized clouds was equally marginal — CoreWeave at 3%, Lambda at 4%, Crusoe at 2% of enterprises. When we asked enterprises what change they planned in their AI infrastructure strategy over the next twelve months, the most-cited answer was moving workloads to specialized AI clouds, at 33%. Asked in April-May which emerging compute option they were most likely to evaluate AI-specialized clouds again drew the most responses. Two waves, two differently worded questions, one consistent picture: the type of cloud enterprises are most eager to assess is the type they have barely begun to use.</p><h2>Finding 4: A switching wave is building</h2><p><b>Six in 10 plan to change providers within a year — many within a quarter</b></p><p>We asked whether and when enterprises plan to switch or add an infrastructure provider. Very few intend to stand still.</p><div></div><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>38%</b></p></td><td><p><b>plan to change within the next 0–3 months — tied for the most common answer</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>36%</b></p></td><td><p><b>have no plans to change</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>22%</b></p></td><td><p><b>plan to change within 3–6 months</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>7%</b></p></td><td><p><b>plan to change within 6–12 months</b></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>For a category as foundational as compute, this is a remarkable amount of intended movement. Only 36% have no plans to change, meaning a clear majority (64%) intend to switch or add a provider within twelve months — and 38% within the next quarter alone. Where that interest points is telling: the providers drawing the most switching consideration are again the incumbents — Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud (33% each), OpenAI (30%), and Gemini (22%) — which suggests much of the near-term movement is reshuffling among the majors and consolidating spend rather than defecting to new entrants. The neocloud interest in Finding 3 is a 12-month evaluation thesis; the switching in the next quarter is mostly incumbents trading share.</p><p>(<i>Method note: Respondents who selected both "no plans to change" and a specific switching window are counted as switchers, on the logic that naming a timeframe is the more specific answer; three respondents were reclassified under this rule.</i>)</p><h2>Finding 5: Nobody buys on token price</h2><p><b>Integration and total cost of ownership decide — not sticker price</b></p><p>We asked what matters most when enterprises select an AI infrastructure provider. Headline price finished last.</p><div></div><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>41%</b></p></td><td><p><b>integration with the existing cloud and data stack — the top factor</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>35%</b></p></td><td><p><b>total cost of ownership (TCO)</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>24%</b></p></td><td><p><b>performance — latency and throughput</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>19%</b></p></td><td><p><b>each cite security/compliance, autoscaling for spiky workloads, and GPU access/availability</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>8%</b></p></td><td><p><b>cost per 1M tokens — the least-cited factor</b></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Enterprises do not buy AI infrastructure on pricing, which is the place vendors compete on hardest. Integration with the existing stack (41%) and total cost of ownership (35%) dominate, while the headline metric — cost per million tokens — is the deciding factor for just 8%, dead last. The pattern is coherent: buyers are optimizing for how a provider fits and what it truly costs to operate, not for the advertised unit rate. It also foreshadows Finding 7 — enterprises say TCO matters most, yet most cannot yet measure it rigorously. The stated priority and the measured capability are out of step.</p><h2>Finding 6: Expensive GPUs, idle most of the time</h2><p><b>83% report GPU utilization of 50% or less</b></p><p>We asked what share of their GPU capacity enterprises actually utilize. The answer is a well-known but rarely quantified inefficiency.</p><div></div><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>37%</b></p></td><td><p><b>run at 26–50% utilization</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>34%</b></p></td><td><p><b>run at 10–25% utilization</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>15%</b></p></td><td><p><b>run under 10% utilization</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>12%</b></p></td><td><p><b>run over 50% — the efficient minority</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>8%</b></p></td><td><p><b>don’t measure utilization at all; a further 7% consume via API and run no GPUs of their own</b></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><i>Disclosure: Band percentages count every selection against all 107 qualified respondents; 14 respondents selected more than one band, so bands overlap. At the respondent level, 83 of the 100 GPU-operating enterprises reported utilization at or below 50%</i></p><p>The compute already in place runs cold. Adding the bands at or below half capacity, 83% of enterprises that operate GPUs report utilization of 50% or less, and nearly half (49%) run at 25% or below. Only 12% clear the 50% mark, and a further 8% do not measure utilization at all. Idle accelerators are expensive accelerators, and this is the clearest single measure of the compute gap: enterprises are planning to buy more GPUs and specialized compute (Finding 3) while the capacity they already own sits substantially unused. The efficiency headroom in the current fleet is large — and largely unmeasured.</p><h2>Finding 7: Spending fast, measuring slowly</h2><p><b>Fewer than half rigorously track what their compute costs</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises can quantify the cost and return of their AI infrastructure spend, and how satisfied they are with what they run. Confidence in the ledger lags the spending.</p><div></div><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>44%</b></p></td><td><p><b>track compute cost and ROI rigorously</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>39%</b></p></td><td><p><b>track it only partially</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>20%</b></p></td><td><p><b>can’t quantify it yet</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>6%</b></p></td><td><p><b>say it isn’t a priority</b></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Measurement trails money. Fewer than half of enterprises (44%) rigorously track the cost and return of their AI compute; the majority track only partially (39%), cannot quantify it yet (20%), or have not prioritized it (6%). That gap is consequential given Finding 5, where total cost of ownership was the second-ranked buying criterion — enterprises are choosing providers on an economic basis they mostly cannot yet measure. Satisfaction with current infrastructure is moderately positive but not enthusiastic: on a five-point scale, overall satisfaction averages 4.0, with ease of implementation (3.8) and value for money (3.9) trailing slightly — the softness landing, tellingly, on cost. Enterprises are spending quickly and accounting slowly.</p><h2><b>Finding 8: The next bottleneck few are watching</b></h2><p><b>As inference shifts from compute to memory, the field scatters</b></p><p>Finally, we asked how enterprises would address the emerging constraint in large-scale inference — the shift from GPU compute to memory, specifically KV-cache capacity. The responses reveal a frontier that is not yet a priority.</p><div></div><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>31%</b></p></td><td><p><b>would rely on Dell (PowerScale / Project Lightning) — the leading single answer</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>16%</b></p></td><td><p><b>would rely on Nvidia (Dynamo / ICMSP)</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>18%</b></p></td><td><p><b>are not aware of this as a constraint (9%) or haven’t addressed inference-memory limits yet (8%)</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><b>10%</b></p></td><td><p><b>Hammerspace (Tier Zero); 9% DDN (Infinia); the rest split across open-source KV-cache tooling, model-level efficiency, VAST Data, and WEKA</b></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The memory frontier is real but barely governed. Asked which approach they would rely on as the binding constraint in inference shifts from compute to memory bandwidth, enterprises scatter: Dell leads at 31%, Nvidia follows at 16%, and the rest fragments across storage vendors, open-source tooling, and model-level efficiency techniques. Most telling is that roughly one in five (18%) either do not recognize the constraint or have not begun to address it. For a shift that will reshape inference cost and architecture, this is an early and unsettled market — and, consistent with the measurement gap in Finding 7, one where many enterprises simply do not yet have a view. It is the next chapter of the compute gap, arriving before most have closed the current one.</p><h1><b>The bottom line: A compute gap that faster spending will widen, not close</b></h1><p>Organizations with more than 100 employees are investing in AI infrastructure faster than they can measure it. Most are still early in deployment, yet their spending intentions point past their current stack — toward specialized clouds and alternative accelerators almost none of them run today — and a clear majority intend to change providers within the year. They buy on integration and total cost of ownership rather than headline price, which is rational; the difficulty is that most cannot yet see those economics clearly.</p><p>The visibility gap is concrete. The GPUs enterprises already own run at half utilization or less for the overwhelming majority, and fewer than half can rigorously track what their compute costs or returns. Satisfaction is decent but unenthusiastic, softest on value for money — the dimension hardest to judge without measurement. And the next constraint, the shift from compute to memory in large-scale inference, is arriving while most enterprises are still unaware of it. At 107 respondents in a single Q2 wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market and earlier-stage adopters — but the direction is consistent: the appetite to spend is running well ahead of the instrumentation to spend well. The compute gap is not a capacity problem that more hardware will solve on its own; it is, first, a problem of seeing what the hardware already costs. The open question for later waves is whether enterprises build that visibility before the re-platforming arrives — or buy the next layer of infrastructure as blind to its economics as the last.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 107 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the results read cross-sectionally rather than as a month-over-month trend, and at 107 respondents this is a directional signal rather than a precise measurement — the sample is self-selected, skews mid-market, and leans toward earlier-stage adopters rather than the largest hyperscale operators. Respondents include managers, individual contributors, VPs/directors, and the C-suite, with buyer-credible purchasing authority, across Technology/Software, Healthcare/Life Sciences, Financial Services, Retail/E-commerce, and other industries.</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 157 enterprises, organizations are granting AI agents more autonomy while trusting the evaluations meant to gate that autonomy less. Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated evaluation today; and the most-cited weakness is that evaluations do not align with real-world outcomes. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively engineering toward, deploying agent changes to production on automated evaluation alone — with no human in the loop. The result is an evaluation gap — the distance between how much autonomy enterprises are handing their agents and how far they trust the tests that are supposed to catch the failures.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines how technical leaders measure agent performance: which reliability and evaluation platforms they use, how they select and trust them, what breaks in production, and how far they are willing to let agents run without a human in the loop.</p><p>The central finding is an evaluation gap — the distance between the autonomy enterprises are granting their agents and the trust they place in the evaluations meant to govern it. Half of organizations (50%) have, in the past year, deployed an agent or LLM feature that passed their internal evaluations and then caused a customer-facing failure, and a quarter have seen it happen more than once. Trust in the tests themselves is thin: only 5% say they fully trust automated evaluation today, and the single most-cited limitation is that evaluations align poorly with real-world outcomes (29%). Enterprises are discovering that a passing eval is not the same as a working agent.</p><p>What makes the gap consequential is the direction of travel. Two-thirds of organizations (66%) already permit fully automated, zero-human-in-the-loop deployment for low-risk agents (34%) or are actively engineering their pipelines to allow it within twelve months (33%). At the same time, the evaluation stack that would have to earn that trust is fragmented and immature: the most common primary tools are the model providers’ native evals, tied with having no dedicated tooling at all (17% each); and only about a quarter of enterprises run real-time quality checks on live production traffic. The autonomy is arriving faster than the assurance.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this survey — the Agentic Reliability &amp; Evals tracker — focused on how technical leaders evaluate agent performance and reliability. Responses are filtered to organizations with 100 or more employees (n=157), drawn from a single survey in June 2026; because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Where questions were multiple-select, those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By role the sample is senior and buyer-credible: 38% are final decision-makers for AI purchases and another 34% recommenders or influencers. Product and program managers (15%), consultants and advisors (10%), directors of engineering/IT (8%), and CIOs/CTOs/CISOs (8%) lead the named titles, alongside a large “Other” function (37%). By organization size the sample is mid-market-weighted: 100–499 (37%) and 500–2,499 (27%) employees lead, with 2,500–9,999 (20%), 10,000–49,999 (10%), and 50,000+ (6%) above them. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 23%, followed by Retail/Consumer (15%), Healthcare/Life Sciences (12%), and Manufacturing (10%).</p><p>At 157 respondents the sample is large enough to read directionally but should be treated as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It skews toward the mid-market, so it is best read as the view from organizations actively standing up agent evaluation practices rather than from the largest operators.</p><p><i>Note: This survey was rebuilt for the June wave from the earlier “LLM observability and evaluations” survey; because the questions and sample differ, no comparisons are made to the April–May data.</i></p><h1>Finding 1: A passing eval is not a working agent</h1><p><b>Half have shipped an agent that passed evals, then failed a customer</b></p><p>We asked whether, in the past 12 months, organizations had deployed an agent or LLM feature that passed their internal evaluations but then caused a customer-facing failure. Half of those that run evaluations had.</p><div></div><p>This is the report’s defining number. Half of organizations (50%) have shipped an AI feature that cleared their internal evaluations and then failed in front of a customer — an incorrect output, a broken workflow, or a quality incident — and a quarter have seen it happen more than once. Only 36% report no such failure, and the remainder either run no pre-deployment evaluations (8%) or don’t track the root cause closely enough to know (6%). The failure is precise and expensive: the evaluation said the agent was ready, and it was not. Everything that follows — how enterprises trust their evals, what they monitor, and how much autonomy they grant — is shaped by this experience.</p><h2>Finding 2: Almost no one fully trusts automated evaluation</h2><p><b>The top complaint: Evals don't match real-world outcomes</b></p><p>We asked which limitation most reduces trust in automated agent evaluations today. Only a sliver of enterprises had no complaint at all.</p><div></div><p>Trust in automated evaluation is scarce, and specific. Only 5% of organizations say they fully trust automated evaluation as it stands — meaning 95% name a limitation that holds them back. The most common, at 29%, is the one that most directly explains Finding 1: evaluations align poorly with real-world outcomes, passing agents that later fail. Bias or inconsistency (21%) and a lack of explainability (18%) follow — enterprises cannot always tell why an evaluation reached its verdict — and 17% cite data-leakage or privacy concerns in the evaluation process itself. The tests meant to certify agents are not yet trusted to certify them, which is precisely why the autonomy trajectory in Finding 3 is so striking.</p><h2>Finding 3: The autonomy ceiling is rising anyway</h2><p><b>Two-thirds already allow, or are building toward, zero-human deployment</b></p><p>We asked whether organizations would let an autonomous agent deploy a code or system change to production on automated evaluation results alone, with no human-in-the-loop validation. The trajectory runs straight through the trust gap.</p><div></div><p>Here is the paradox at the heart of the report. Even though almost no one fully trusts automated evaluation (Finding 2), two-thirds of organizations (66%) either already allow zero-human-in-the-loop deployment for low-risk agents (34%) or are actively engineering their pipelines to permit it within a year (33%). Only 22% rule it out for the foreseeable future. The direction is unambiguous: enterprises are moving to let evaluations gate production autonomously — removing the human check — at the same moment they say those evaluations don’t reliably match reality. The autonomy ceiling is rising faster than the assurance beneath it, which is the mechanism by which the false-confidence failures of Finding 1 will scale rather than shrink.</p><p>Notably, the autonomy bet is not just a small company phenomenon. Splitting the sample by company size, larger enterprises are slightly further down the path toward zero human review than smaller companies (70% versus 64%) and slightly more likely to have shipped an evaluation-passing agent that then failed a customer (54% versus 48%). The assumption that large, regulated organizations are holding the human in the loop longest is, in this sample, backwards.  To be sure, these are directional figures, since the survey was not a huge sample — 57 respondents from companies with 2,500+ employees and 100 from companies smaller than that. </p><h2>Finding 4: The evaluation stack is fragmented and provider-led</h2><p><b>Provider-native evals lead — tied with no dedicated tool at all</b></p><p>We asked which agent reliability or evaluation platform enterprises primarily use today. The market has no clear leader — and a large share has nothing dedicated.</p><div></div><p>The evaluation layer is early and unconsolidated. Provider-native tooling leads — OpenAI’s native evals and traces (17%) and Anthropic’s Claude Console evals (13%) together outweigh any independent platform — but it is tied at the top by a striking answer: 17% of enterprises use no dedicated agent-evaluation tooling at all, a notable gap for organizations shipping agents to customers. The specialist evaluation vendors — DeepEval (12%), Braintrust (8%), LangSmith, Weave, Promptfoo, Langfuse, Arize — are scattered across single to low double digits, and 11% have built their own. No independent platform has yet become the category standard, which leaves most enterprises evaluating agents with provider-native tools, home-grown scripts, or nothing.</p><h2>Finding 5: Production monitoring rarely watches output quality</h2><p><b>Only a quarter run real-time quality checks on live traffic</b></p><p>Production monitoring for an AI agent can watch two very different things. It can watch whether the system is <b>functioning</b> — is the agent up and responding, did each request complete, how fast, at what cost, with any errors. Or it can watch whether the agent's output is <b>correct</b> — automated checks that evaluate the content of each answer as it goes out: did the agent give the right answer, take the right action, stay within policy. The distinction matters because a confidently wrong answer is invisible to the first kind of monitoring: the request completes, the response is fast, no error is thrown, and every functioning-metric reads healthy. We asked organizations which kind their live production monitoring is built for today.</p><div></div><p>Grouped by what is actually being watched, the split is stark: 51% of organizations monitor only whether the agent is functioning, while 23% monitor whether its answers are right. Counting the ad-hoc reviewers and the don't-knows, roughly three-quarters of organizations run no automated, real-time evaluation of output correctness in production — they can see that the system is up and what it costs, and they are taking the correctness of its answers on faith. That blind spot is the runtime counterpart to the pre-deployment gap in Finding 1: the same organizations engineering the human out of the deployment decision mostly cannot see, in real time, when the deployed agent starts getting things wrong.</p><h2>Finding 6: Bought on cost, measured on consistency</h2><p><b>Price and integration drive selection; evaluation consistency is the goal</b></p><p>We asked what most influenced enterprises’ choice of an evaluation vendor, and what they treat as their primary measure of success. Both answers are pragmatic.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises buy evaluation tooling on economics and trust it on repeatability. Cost of evaluations (28%) narrowly leads selection, just ahead of ease of integration (27%) and evaluation accuracy (24%) — breadth of observability (13%) and vendor roadmap (4%) matter far less. On what success looks like, more than a third (36%) name evaluation consistency — getting the same verdict on the same behavior every time — well ahead of speed of experimentation (19%), reduction in failures (18%), production visibility (13%), and compliance (11%). The emphasis on consistency is telling: before enterprises can trust an evaluation’s verdict, they need it to be stable — the very property whose absence (bias and inconsistency) ranked among the top trust limitations in Finding 2. Satisfaction with current tooling is only moderate, averaging 3.8 on a five-point scale across overall satisfaction, ease of implementation, and value for money.</p><h2>Finding 7: The next dollar goes to humans and observability</h2><p><b>Investment is flowing to oversight, not just automation</b></p><p>We asked which reliability and evaluation investment will grow most over the next year. The money is going toward watching agents more closely — including with people.</p><div></div><p>The second-largest planned investment — behind only production observability — is human review workflows, at 26%. Read against Finding 1, that is the report's quietest contradiction: at the same moment two-thirds of enterprises are engineering the human out of the deployment decision, more of them plan to grow spending on human reviewers (26%) than on the automated evaluation pipelines (16%) that would replace them. The zero-human trajectory and the human-review budget are rising in the same companies at the same time. Indeed, only 8% report that their budget is not increasing. </p><p>Taken together, enterprises are hedging: building toward autonomy while spending to watch agents more closely and keep humans available for the calls that automated evaluation cannot yet be trusted to make.</p><h2>Finding 8: A tooling reshuffle is coming</h2><p><b>Nearly two-thirds plan to adopt or switch platforms within a year</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises plan to adopt a new, additional, or replacement evaluation platform, and which they are considering. Few intend to stand pat.</p><div></div><p>The evaluation market is wide open. While 36% have no plans to change, a clear majority (64%) intend to adopt a new, additional, or replacement platform within twelve months, and 31% within the next quarter. The consideration set points where current usage is thinnest: Confident AI’s DeepEval leads what enterprises are evaluating (20%), ahead of OpenAI’s native evals (13%) and Braintrust (9%) — the open-source specialists drawing more interest than their present footprint. </p><p>Given that so many enterprises today rely on provider-native tools or nothing at all (Finding 4), this is less a defection than a first real wave of tooling adoption — the moment the evaluation layer starts to consolidate. Which platforms earn that trust, in a market where almost no one trusts automated evaluation yet, is the open question this series will keep tracking.</p><h2>The bottom line: An evaluation gap that autonomy will widen, not close</h2><p>Organizations with 100 or more employees are granting AI agents more independence than they trust their evaluations to support. Half have already shipped an agent that passed its evals and then failed a customer; almost none fully trust automated evaluation, chiefly because it doesn’t match real-world outcomes; and most watch production for uptime and cost rather than for whether the agent’s answers are right. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively building toward, deploying to production on automated evaluation alone.</p><p>The vendor market is early and unsettled: the most common primary evaluation tools are provider-native evals, tied with no dedicated tooling at all, and a clear majority plan to adopt or switch platforms within the year. Encouragingly, the next dollar is going to observability and — pointedly — human review, suggesting enterprises sense the gap even as they engineer past it. At 157 respondents in a single wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market — but the direction is clear: autonomy is being granted on the strength of evaluations that the people granting it do not yet trust. The evaluation gap is not a coverage problem that more tests alone will close; it is a problem of evaluations that reflect reality and can be trusted to gate it. The open question for later waves is whether assurance catches up to autonomy — or whether the false-confidence failures move from customer incidents into changes that deploy themselves.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 157 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single June 2026 wave.

<p>Hallo, ich bin der Michi, willkommen zur dritten Ausgabe des HMX-6-Newsletters. Diese Woche verraten wir endlich, welcher Prozessor die HMX 6 antreibt, und klären wichtige Fragen zur Höllenmaschine in unserer FAQ. Außerdem reisen wir zurück ins Jahr 2008, als die Höllenmaschine 3 mit einem Gesamtwert von 30.000 Euro einen Rekord aufstellte. Wenn ihr keine Ausgabe verpassen wollt, könnt ihr den <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/newsletter-anmeldung" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Newsletter kostenlos abonnieren</a> – aber vergesst nicht, die Anmeldung via E-Mail zu bestätigen. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!</p>



<p>Hier geht es direkt <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/hmx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">zum Gewinnspiel der HMX 6 im Gesamtwert von 40.000 Euro</a>. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Neuer Leak, CPU und Balkonkraftwerk der HMX 6 vorgestellt</h2>



<p>Die internen Leaks hören nicht auf, jetzt hat Jérémie auch noch durchgestochen, dass wir einen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Zq1xXF5DkCM" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tisch-PC im Helo-Style</a> bauen. Ich habe mit dem Kollegen schon ein ernstes Wörtchen gesprochen – jetzt sollte erst einmal nichts mehr durchsickern.</p>



<p>Einige von euch hatten vielleicht auf einen Threadripper gehofft. Für eine Höllenmaschine steht aber maximale Gaming-Leistung an erster Stelle – deshalb fiel unsere Wahl auf den aktuell schnellsten Gaming-Prozessor von AMD. Aber keine Angst, auch für professionelle Anwendungen wie 3D-Rendering, Softwareentwicklung, Simulationen oder KI-Workloads bringt der AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition genug Rechenleistung mit. Hier findet ihr alle Informationen zur <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3186713/die-cpu-der-hoellenmaschine-hmx-6-amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d2-dual-edition.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HMX-6-CPU</a> – inklusive des Wakü-Blocks.</p>



<p>Ein Thema, das mich seit der ersten Höllenmaschine verfolgt, ist der hohe Stromverbrauch. Zu den klassischen Kommentaren aus der Community gehört das eigene Atomkraftwerk, das für den Betrieb notwendig ist. Aber wir gehen ja mit der Zeit, deswegen kommt die HMX 6 mit dem Balkonkraftwerk <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3186915/das-balkon-kraftwerk-der-hoellenmaschine-hmx-6-zendure-solarflow-2400-pro-und-vier-515w-pv-module.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zendure SolarFlow 2400 Pro</a>, das mit seinen vier PV-Modulen fast 2700 Watt Peak bietet. Zum System gehört außerdem ein 2,4-kWh-Akku, damit der Gewinner der HMX 6 den tagsüber erzeugten Strom auch abends oder nachts nutzen kann. Dass ich irgendwann einmal ein Balkonkraftwerk zu einer Höllenmaschine legen würde, hätte ich vor 20 Jahren übrigens selbst nicht geglaubt – da kam der Strom noch aus der Steckdose und war noch vergleichsweise günstig.</p>



<p>Ihr habt Fragen zur aktuellen Höllenmaschine? Dann helfen euch unsere <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/3189780" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HMX-6-FAQ</a> bestimmt weiter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Rückblick: Die Höllenmaschine 3 war 30.000 Euro wert – Rekord</h2>



<p>Mein Lieblingsspruch „Nach der Höllenmaschine ist vor der Höllenmaschine” hat hier seinen Ursprung: Die rasant steigenden Teilnehmerzahlen beim Gewinnspiel erlaubten es mir, direkt nach der HM2-Verlosung die Planung für die dritte Höllenmaschine anzugehen. So konnte ich die öffentlichen Auftritte der HM3 auf den Computer-Messen CeBIT und Hobbytronic generalstabsmäßig planen. </p>



<p>Heiko wurde wieder mit einem Casemod beauftragt, für die Bemalung sorgte die damalige Szenengröße „old_airbrush“. Das HM3-Gehäuse kostete insgesamt 6000 Euro. Die Kosten in die Höhe trieben auch das erstmals eingeführte Software-Paket für 5000 Euro und der Profi-Monitor Eizo SX3031W für 2500 Euro. Den Löwenanteil verschlang allerdings die zentrale Hardware:</p>



<p>Die HDDs kosteten inklusive Adaptec-Controller über 4000 Euro. Die beiden Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9775 waren mit 2600 Euro kostspieliger als die beiden Dual-GPU-Karten Nvidia Geforce 9800 GX2 – das waren noch Zeiten. Der innovative Phasenwechselkühler von Coolit Systems war mit 4000 Euro auch kein Schnäppchen, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubLywx2rn5c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hat aber funktioniert</a>. Als ich damals die Kalkulation fertig hatte, musste ich selbst zweimal hinschauen. 30.000 Euro für einen PC – das war 2008 schon ziemlich verrückt.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Nvidia bringt neue Karten auf den Markt, RAM bleibt bis 2030 teuer</h2>



<p>Will uns Nvidia trollen? Mit den „<a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3188357/nvidia-bringt-neue-karten-auf-den-markt-die-sich-wirklich-jeder-leisten-kann-trading-cards.html#">GeForce Trading Cards: Series 1</a>“ hat Nvidia Sammelkarten vorgestellt, auf denen unter anderem historische Grafikkarten abgebildet sind – echte, bezahlbare Grafikkarten wären mir lieber. </p>



<p>Indirekt auf Nvidias Kappe gehen auch die galoppierenden Speicherpreise. Laut der koreanischen Branchenwebsite The Elec wird sich daran wohl <a href="https://www.thelec.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=11059">bis 2030 nichts ändern</a>. Erst dann könne das Angebot die Nachfrage befriedigen. Die Prognosen beruhen auf aktuellen Zahlen, wonach die Kunden derzeit das vier- bis fünffache des Angebots fordern. Erst 2030 könnte die Produktion damit Schritt halten – oder die KI-Blase platzt schon vorher.</p>



<p>Schon wieder Lego: Im Subreddit <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Legoleak/comments/1usqc4r/mario_72051_donkey_kong_arcade_set_image_via/">Legoleak</a> ist ein Bausatz für den Arcade-Automaten “Donkey Kong” aufgetaucht. Ich weiß noch, wie ich damals als Schüler mit Donkey Kong so manche Mark verdaddelt habe. Laut dem Reddit-Post soll der Bausatz – falls das kein KI-generierter Fake ist – aus 1367 Bauteilen bestehen und 200 Dollar kosten. Shut up and take my money.</p>

<hr></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><h3><span>Introduction </span></h3>
<p><span>As highlighted in the </span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/security/resources/m-trends"><span>Mandiant M-Trends 2026 report</span></a><span>, the mean time-to-exploit (TTE) has dropped to -7 days, meaning vulnerabilities are often exploited a week before a patch even exists. </span></p>
<p><span>To keep pace, many security teams are exploring how to integrate large language model (LLM) agents into their codebases, development environments and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for automated vulnerability discovery and remediation. However, deploying privileged artificial intelligence (AI) agents without mature integration processes introduces new architectural risks. </span></p>
<p><span>In response to customer inquiries about how to safely integrate AI capabilities into vulnerability management workflows, this blog provides actionable guidance from Mandiant Consulting about how to establish operational guardrails for AI assisted vulnerability management, including several detailed scenarios. What each of these examples show is that security teams can accelerate workflows with AI while also upholding the structural integrity of their environments. We suggest that combining AI capabilities with deterministic controls and human intelligence in strategic ways maximizes benefits and reduces risk. </span></p>
<h3><span>Establish Operational Guardrails to Safely Deploy AI Agents</span></h3>
<p><span>To safely adopt advanced AI capabilities without introducing unpredictable failures into deployment pipelines, organizations should ground their approach in established industry standards. While guidelines like the </span><a href="https://www.nist.gov/itl/ai-risk-management-framework" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span>NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF)</span></a><span> and the </span><a href="https://owasp.org/www-project-top-10-for-large-language-model-applications/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span>OWASP Top 10 for LLMs</span></a><span> provide comprehensive baselines for identifying risks, operationalizing these controls requires a structural blueprint.</span></p>
<p><span>Frameworks like </span><a href="https://safety.google/intl/en_sg/safety/saif/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span>Google’s Secure AI Framework (SAIF)</span></a><span> </span><a href="https://safety.google/intl/en_sg/safety/saif/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span>and</span></a><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-research2023-media/pubtools/1018686.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span> </span><span>Google’s approach to secure AI Agents</span></a><span> provide a practical path forward, demanding that organizations extend existing deterministic controls directly into the AI execution environment. When deploying AI agents, security teams should navigate specific operational and structural risks:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Pre-agent data security and Defense-in-Depth:</strong><span> Agents should not be able to access personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), or other sensitive data. Organizations should enforce data security before the prompt reaches the model. This includes strictly using non-production environments populated with synthetic data for testing. For production, security teams should deploy a hybrid defense-in-depth model. This includes Layer 1 deterministic policy engines acting as chokepoints, alongside Layer 2 reasoning-based defenses like specialized guard models (such as </span><a href="https://docs.cloud.google.com/model-armor/overview"><span>Model Armor</span></a><span> or similar provider-agnostic guardrails) to filter out sensitive data and block malicious prompt injections before they reach the agent layer. Crucially for vulnerability discovery, security teams should treat the codebase itself as an untrusted input. Threat actors can embed indirect prompt injections within source code comments or third-party dependencies (e.g., hidden instructions telling the agent to ignore vulnerabilities or exfiltrate environment variables), making input sanitation a requirement even for internal scanning.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Cloud provider limitations and zero data retention (ZDR):</strong><span> Many cloud and LLM providers block or throttle automated offensive security probing by default to prevent abuse. Organizations should establish clear rules of engagement and authorized testing agreements to navigate acceptable use policies. Furthermore, organizations should enforce strict zero data retention (ZDR) agreements with their LLM providers to guarantee that proprietary code and discovered vulnerabilities are never used to train external models.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Workload isolation:</strong><span> Agent workloads should execute in strictly isolated, unprivileged containers with dynamically limited privileges. By relying on robust sandboxing to prevent privilege escalation, if an agent hallucinates a destructive command or is hijacked via prompt injection, the blast radius remains contained.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Red Teaming:</strong><span> Before deploying autonomous vulnerability scanners that can dynamically spin up sandboxes and execute code, organizations should subject the AI agents themselves to human-led red teaming as part of comprehensive assurance efforts. This validates the agent's resilience against jailbreaks, recursive logic loops, and complex prompt injections, ensuring the security tooling does not become the attack vector.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Least-Privileged Machine Identities and Human Controllers:</strong><span> While workloads should be isolated, agents inherently require privileges to generate pull requests and commit code. Security teams should ensure these agents operate under distinct, strictly scoped machine identities that tie back to human controllers to ensure accountability and user consent. Organizations should use short-lived, just-in-time (JIT) tokens bound exclusively to the specific repository and branch under review. T</span><span>his enforces the principle of limited agent powers and ensures that even if an agent’s container is compromised via prompt injection, the threat actor cannot pivot to modify adjacent enterprise codebases.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Supply chain resilience for skills:</strong><span> As developers augment AI with third-party skills and model context protocol (MCP) servers, security teams should treat these integrations as untrusted supply chain components. MCP plugins introduce the risk of supply chain poisoning, where a previously benign integration is silently updated with malicious dependencies. Additionally, security teams should evaluate the underlying agent orchestration frameworks themselves (e.g., LangChain, AutoGen) for inherent vulnerabilities, such as session memory poisoning or recursive loop hijacking.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Toxic flow analysis (TFA) and Observable Actions:</strong><span> The objective of TFA is to monitor data paths at runtime, ensuring agents do not exfiltrate sensitive internal context to unvetted external endpoints. Agent actions, inputs, reasoning, and outputs must be fully observable and transparently logged. While implementing dynamic taint tracking for LLMs remains a complex architectural challenge, organizations should clearly separate this runtime observability from static supply chain controls. Integrating threat intelligence to hash and vet incoming agent tools provides a necessary baseline for verifying integrity </span><span>before</span><span> deployment. However, because static controls cannot address behavior post-deployment, mitigating data exfiltration ultimately requires active runtime monitoring and secure, centralized logging to trace and restrict the actual flow of data.</span></p>

</div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><p><span>By operationalizing these tools within frameworks that demand verifiable integrity and structural resilience, organizations can safely bridge the gap between AI velocity and enterprise defense.</span></p>
<h3><span>The need for human-led threat modeling</span></h3>
<p><span>While LLMs excel at identifying syntax patterns, source code itself rarely contains the full picture of unwritten business intent. Some organizations attempt to solve this by connecting LLM agents to internal wikis, design documents, and issue trackers using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).</span></p>
<p><span>While RAG gives the model access to external business context, it is not a perfect fix. Corporate documentation is frequently stale, contradictory, or incomplete. An AI agent might retrieve an outdated architecture diagram and confidently hallucinate a secure path that no longer exists in production. Because LLM agents struggle to resolve conflicting, undocumented human assumptions, human-led threat modeling remains a critical security control across both legacy applications and modern agent workflows.</span></p>
<p><span>Security teams should apply threat modeling during both the pre-build system design phase to establish a secure foundation, and during post-build architecture reviews. While an AI agent might successfully identify a poorly configured internal endpoint locally, a human threat modeler asks the structural question: </span><span>why does that microservice possess broad database read permissions in the first place?</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Identifying architectural vulnerabilities requires reasoning about business risk, data sensitivity, and operational constraints. To structure this process, organizations can use industry frameworks like PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) or service offerings like the </span><a href="https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/ds-threat-modeling-security-service-en.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span>Mandiant Threat Modeling Security Service</span></a><span> to map trust boundaries, uncover structural design flaws, and prioritize compensating controls. Securing fundamental architecture through human oversight is a necessary component when relying on automated agents to find bugs in a poorly designed system.</span></p>
<p><span>Once these AI agents are safely sandboxed, as guided by SAIF, and the architecture is verified through threat modeling, organizations can typically apply them to two different problem spaces: Enterprise Vulnerability Management (to assist in managing the volume of known CVEs in commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software and infrastructure) and Product Security (to identify vulnerabilities in 1st-party (1P) code).</span></p>
<h3><span>Track 1: Enterprise Vulnerability Management</span></h3>
<h4><span>Foundational security and discovery </span></h4>
<p><span>While the second track of this post explores how AI agents can uncover complex zero-days in custom code, organizations should manage the scale of enterprise infrastructure in tandem with these AI deployments. Even as new AI capabilities dominate headlines, organizations should still address foundational security challenges, such as secrets sprawl, unmanaged service accounts, missing FIDO2 MFA, and legacy VPN concentrators. Although vulnerability exploitation was the primary initial infection vector in intrusions Mandiant investigated last year, threat actors consistently rely on missing foundational controls and unpatched edge devices to secure and escalate their foothold after exploiting a vulnerability.</span></p>
<p><span>Furthermore, AI cannot replace foundational visibility. As security teams deploy AI agents, they should simultaneously close these tactical entry points by maximizing dynamic discovery capabilities like External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). In hybrid and cloud environments, tools like </span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/wiz?e=48754805"><span>Wiz</span></a><span> can be used to map this initial footprint.</span></p>
<h3><span>Risk-based vulnerability management </span></h3>
<p><span>Vulnerability management teams are already overwhelmed by the current volume of findings generated by traditional scanners. As organizations scale dynamic discovery tools, such as EASM, CSPM and CTEM, alongside automated AI agents, this influx of findings will compound the problem. To manage this influx, telemetry from these diverse discovery methods must first be normalized and deduplicated. This normalized data serves two purposes: it feeds directly into the risk engine, and it acts as a live overlay to correct stale records in the configuration management database (CMDB). By evaluating the deduplicated vulnerabilities alongside this newly updated asset context and frontline threat intelligence, the RBVM engine calculates a custom risk score that allows security teams to dynamically prioritize remediation.</span></p>
<p><span>A mature RBVM methodology calculates a customized risk score on a 0 to 100 scale using a weighted average. A sample formula for calculating this risk-based score is:</span></p>
<p><span>Final Score = (W_1 * S_vuln) + (W_2 * S_asset) + (W_3 * S_threat)</span></p>
<p><span>The variables and weights (W) are customized to the organization's risk appetite (for example, 0.20 for vulnerability, 0.40 for asset, and 0.40 for threat, summing to 1.0), while the underlying variables (S) are scored on a 0 to 100 scale and defined as follows:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Vulnerability severity (S_vuln): </strong><span>The inherent technical severity of the flaw. This is calculated by taking the CVSS Base Score (which natively accounts for confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact) and multiplying it by 10.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Asset context (S_asset): </strong><span>A combined metric of exposure and data sensitivity. Scores range from 100 for internet-facing assets holding customer data, down to 25 for internal-only assets with no sensitive data. To translate this impact into monetary terms for non-technical stakeholders, organizations can incorporate Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) principles into this metric. However, this approach requires highly accurate, continuously updated financial data that many enterprises struggle to maintain at scale.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Threat context (S_threat): </strong><span>The real-world urgency of the vulnerability. Scores range from 100 if actively exploited by threat actors relevant to the organization's profile, 75 if a proof-of-concept exists or if it is a vulnerability class easily exploited by autonomous AI agents, down to 25 if the exploit is theoretical and highly complex. Organizations should also map the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) probability percentage directly into this variable. This allows the threat score to automatically scale up or down as real-world exploitation telemetry shifts, aligning static vulnerability data with active threat intelligence.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span>An asset's customized risk score should directly influence internal remediation service-level agreements (SLAs), unless external compliance-driven mandates, such as CISA Binding Operational Directives (BODs), or relevant equivalents, override internal prioritization. A risk-driven and threat-intelligence-driven vulnerability prioritization methodology will help organizations focus resources on managing and mitigating the most critical security vulnerabilities first. This is an area where LLMs can support the vulnerability management process, particularly by helping teams synthesize unstructured threat intelligence to surface relevant risk contexts more efficiently. Enforcing strict SLOs for patching, while requiring formal risk acceptance documentation for any patching exceptions, will help reduce the number of vulnerabilities available to threat actors and increase the visibility of outstanding risks across the organization. Furthermore, organizations should integrate RBVM data directly into their security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platforms for automated alert enrichment.</span></p></div>

</div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><h3><span>Containment and Observability</span></h3>
<p><span>Modern architecture blueprints must prioritize attack surface reduction under the assumption that vulnerabilities will inevitably be exploited. Moving away from traditional perimeter defenses, organizations should align with zero trust principles, ensuring that security boundaries are established around every asset, workload, and identity.</span></p>
<p><span>A component of this alignment is the implementation of strong authentication principles. Organizations should eliminate implicit trust by enforcing continuous, context-aware authentication and authorization. Utilizing Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions, such as Identity-Aware Proxies (IAP), shields critical management interfaces (e.g., SSH, RDP) and internal systems from direct internet exposure, granting access only to verified identities and compliant devices.</span></p>
<p><span>For public-facing applications and APIs, attack surface reduction involves deploying Layer 7 inspection at the load balancer or API gateway level. This hardening layer enforces strict schema validation, intercepting and neutralizing malformed inbound traffic and potential exploits before they can interact with internal application logic.</span></p>
<p><span>Securing the software supply chain is equally vital in modern blueprints, and organizations should align with frameworks like </span><a href="https://slsa.dev/spec/v0.1/levels" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span>Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA)</span></a><span> across both dependency and build tracks. Security policies should mandate that third-party dependencies are routed through a centralized artifact repository equipped with automated curation services, such as </span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/security/products/assured-open-source-software"><span>Google Assured Open Source Software (OSS)</span></a><span> or an equivalent solution, preventing untrusted code from entering the development lifecycle. Furthermore, maturing toward advanced SLSA build levels (e.g., SLSA level 3) through the implementation of isolation, ephemerality and reproducibility requirements via  ephemeral compute infrastructure for CI/CD runners reduces the likelihood of attacker persistence by ensuring environments are short-lived and automatically cycled.</span></p>
<p><span>To complement these pre-build controls, runtime observability should be established across all production workloads. This requires monitoring both infrastructure-level behavior and the specific runtime libraries actively executing in production, which surfaces true exploitable risk far beyond a static Software Bill of Materials. In tandem with monitoring workloads, organizations should secure how they authenticate by implementing workload identity federation. By removing static credentials and instead using short-lived tokens backed by strong cryptographic identity verification, organizations can reduce the risk of credential theft and unauthorized lateral movement.</span></p>
<p><span>Within the internal environment, microsegmentation should be enforced to break down flat networks into granular security zones. Routing application traffic through a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture integrates network routing directly with robust identity controls, rendering internal services completely invisible to unauthenticated users and containing threats to their initial point of entry.</span></p>
<p><span>Finally, automated containment and incident response within a zero trust framework must rely on deterministic, auditable tooling. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) platforms and SOAR playbooks should handle high-fidelity containment tasks through hardcoded execution logic. While AI tools accelerate triage and policy recommendation, actual execution capabilities must remain restricted to well-defined, pre-tested workflows to maintain total architectural predictability.</span></p></div>

<h4><span>Deterministic and probabilistic tooling</span></h4>
<p><span>Integrating LLM agents into vulnerability management and security workflows requires recognizing the differences between deterministic and probabilistic tooling. Traditional SAST and DAST tools utilize fixed methodologies to evaluate vulnerabilities through structural code parsing or definitive runtime observations. LLMs, however, evaluate source code by processing tokens simultaneously to calculate statistical and semantic relationships, rather than tracing deterministic execution tracks.</span></p>
<p><span>While techniques like Chain of Thought (CoT) prompting allow models to bridge this gap by decomposing complex code paths into intermediate reasoning steps, this process remains bounded by architectural limitations. Even when a model possesses a context window large enough to ingest entire repositories, it may experience attention degradation across long inputs, often failing to correctly weight intervening validation or sanitization logic within the prompt. For example, if a variable is tainted on line 10 but sanitized on line 500, attention degradation can cause the model to lose track of the sanitization logic. Furthermore, when enterprise codebases require chunking to fit within context limits, the resulting fragmentation may cause the model to lose track of end-to-end data flows.</span></p>
<p><span>Consequently, probabilistic engines are effective at uncovering localized, static anomalies, such as hardcoded credentials or outdated dependencies, but frequently misjudge complex vulnerabilities split across fragmented chunks or extended context windows. Notable exceptions occur when these probabilistic models are coupled with deterministic feedback loops. For instance, when analyzing C++ memory corruption, an LLM can be equipped with a test harness to iteratively execute code and definitively prove a crash. While these dynamic validation applications are detailed in subsequent sections, the baseline limitation for static analysis across standard enterprise codebases remains: models struggle to consistently evaluate dispersed logic.</span></p></div>

<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><h3><span>Binary and architectural oracles</span></h3>
<p><span>Many security programs are moving toward agent workflows where an agent autonomously spins up a test environment and uses tools to execute payloads and verify its findings. This is a promising approach, but it is important to understand where it is most effective.</span></p>
<p><span>Agent workflows perform well against bug classes with binary and observable oracles, meaning the system provides an objective, 'crash or no crash' feedback loop. For example, if a model is hunting for memory corruption in a C++ kernel, a successful exploit is undeniable: the payload executes, and a resulting crash definitively proves the vulnerability. This explains why the industry is currently seeing a surge in AI-discovered vulnerabilities across memory-unsafe targets like web browsers and operating systems.</span></p>
<p><span>However, enterprise software is heavily dominated by vulnerabilities that require architectural oracles for validation. Vulnerabilities like authorization bypasses, complex business logic flaws, and indirect server-side request forgeries require an understanding of business context and cross-service trust boundaries. If an agent's payload fails to produce a clear outcome, it can't reliably distinguish whether the vulnerability is a hallucination or if it simply constructed the payload incorrectly. An agent's malformed payload might even crash an unrelated background process and cause the model to hallucinate a success and report a false confirmation. Complex enterprise architecture contains unwritten business intent that a probabilistic engine can't inherently know.</span></p></div>

<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><h3><span>Targeted deployment and human impact</span></h3>
<p><span>Organizations adopting LLMs for vulnerability discovery face a massive staffing challenge. LLMs can generate findings significantly faster than human engineers can triage them. If every LLM-generated alert requires manual review, security teams will quickly face burnout and/or suffer alarm fatigue.</span></p>
<p><span>Rather than indiscriminately pointing agents at all available codebases and risking an influx of unverified output, security teams need a selective deployment strategy. Mature programs should maintain SAST and DAST for baseline hygiene and deterministic rule enforcement, and reserve intensive agent audits for high-impact components with clear binary oracles.</span></p>
<p><span>Organizations can prioritize agent audits on systems where the technology's strengths align with the broader risk profile:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Memory-unsafe codebases:</strong><span> Legacy or high-performance components written in memory-unsafe languages such as C, C++, or Assembly are strong candidates for LLM audits. These languages are susceptible to memory corruption flaws, such as buffer overflows and use-after-free conditions. Because these vulnerabilities trigger definitive failure states like segmentation faults, they work well with automated sandboxes where agents can compile the code with memory sanitizers and write proof-of-concept inputs. This approach is also effective for auditing the native extensions where safe languages call unsafe internal libraries, such as Python C extensions or the Java Native Interface (JNI).</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Systems highly exposed to outside content:</strong><span> First-party data ingestion pipelines, custom API gateways, or proprietary edge proxies. A prerequisite here is direct access to the source code, this strategy is strictly for internally developed or fully open-source codebases where the organization can inspect the logic. Because these systems directly parse untrusted internet traffic, targeting their source code for LLM-driven audits yields the highest risk-reduction ROI.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Shared internal libraries and utilities: </strong><span>Core serialization/deserialization packages, common utility functions, and custom middleware wrappers (such as internal message-queue parsers) maintained in-house. Because the enterprise owns the source code for these shared building blocks, agent tools can easily hook into them within automated test harnesses to fuzz inputs and catch low-level logic or parsing bugs with high fidelity.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Foundational security boundaries:</strong><span> Internally developed centralized authentication services, custom OAuth providers, and internal credential brokers. While testing complex identity boundaries generates higher logic-based noise, having full access to the source code allows teams to pair agents with deterministic checks to safely triage findings, given that the blast radius of an authentication failure justifies the human effort.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span>To filter the noise generated by LLMs, organizations should establish routing rules. Require the agent to generate a fully reproducible, deterministic test harness (such as a compiled binary or a Python test script) that attempts to prove the exploit. This harness must execute automatically in an isolated, monitored sandbox. If the sandbox execution fails (due to a syntax error or a failed exploit), the ticket is discarded, sparing human resources. However, organizations should enforce execution timeouts and iteration limits on these test harnesses. Without hard limits, an autonomous agent attempting to prove a vulnerability can fall into an infinite loop: writing a script, failing, rewriting, and failing again, exhausting API token budgets and compute resources against a single dead-end vulnerability, creating significant cost overruns without advancing the security review. To manage these expenses, organizations should incorporate FinOps principles to balance the compute and API costs of LLM audits against the traditional expenses of manual triage.</span></p>
<p><span>However, a successful execution in the sandbox does not guarantee an actionable, high-priority risk. In practice, autonomous agents frequently produce working PoCs for genuine technical flaws that are ultimately irrelevant; or warrant a lower remediation priority within the context of the system's threat model. For example, the agent might successfully exploit an unreachable dead-code path, or trigger a bug that requires administrative access to execute and yields no further escalation of privilege. Therefore, a human engineer should be assigned to review and prioritize the ticket only if the sandbox registers a successful execution, validating environmental context, reachability, and true business impact as part of the review.</span></p>
<p><span>This workflow reduces the volume of alerts, but it is important to understand that the security team's workload does not disappear. The engineer's primary job shifts from manually hunting for the initial vulnerability to auditing the LLM-generated proof to ensure it represents a meaningful risk rather than an unexploitable or contextually irrelevant finding. Leadership should properly staff and train teams for this new reality. Deploying LLM agents does not remove the need for skilled practitioners; it redirects their workload toward complex validation. Equally important is training teams to recognize the risk of false negatives. A hyper-focus on filtering AI-generated noise can create a false sense of security. If an exploit relies on a novel technique or a zero-day vulnerability that was not heavily weighted in the model's training data, the agent will likely scan right past it in silence. LLMs augment discovery, but they do not guarantee exhaustive coverage.</span></p>
<p><span>When integrating LLMs into SAST triage pipelines, human engineers should also verify the broader architectural integrity. Prompting an LLM with specific SAST warnings can induce contextual narrowing, where the agent becomes hyper-fixated on resolving a localized syntax error and misses broader architectural flaws existing in the same file. Furthermore, if the agent's mandate extends beyond discovery to automated remediation (such as writing and proposing code fixes), this human-in-the-loop validation becomes critical to ensure the LLM does not inadvertently introduce new regressions or bypass intended business logic.</span></p></div>

<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><h3><span>Remediation and hardening</span></h3>
<h4><span>LLM-assisted code remediation</span></h4>
<p><span>A primary goal of integrating large language models (LLMs) into the software development lifecycle is automated remediation. To achieve this, organizations are deploying these capabilities through two primary execution methods: directly within the integrated development environment (IDE) or as a centralized pipeline runner. Examples include </span><a href="https://deepmind.google/blog/introducing-codemender-an-ai-agent-for-code-security/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span>CodeMender</span></a><span>, although as of time of writing, it is not publicly available.</span></p>
<h4><strong>IDE-integrated method</strong><span> </span></h4>
<p><span>This method shifts remediation as far left as possible by operating as an active pair-programmer. Tools running continuous static analysis in the background of the IDE surface vulnerabilities directly to the developer via editor diagnostics like inline indicators or hover tooltips.</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Localized scope:</strong><span> The developer can trigger the LLM agent to analyze the localized data flow and generate a targeted patch (such as implementing parameterized SQL queries). By constraining the LLM to localized, syntax-level fixes, the scope of the change remains contained. This prevents the agent from attempting sprawling, multi-file refactors that frequently break complex architectural logic.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Human-in-the-loop:</strong><span> The developer reviews the AI-generated patch before the code is committed.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Managing false positives:</strong><span> Local IDE agents allow developers to manage false positives dynamically. Suppressing alerts anchored to specific line text reduces alert fatigue and preserves developer trust.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>CI/CD runner method</strong><span> </span></h4>
<p><span>The runner method executes asynchronously within the CI/CD pipeline to use an LLM to review committed code and automatically propose remediation.</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Restricted execution and deterministic validation: </strong><span>Asking a centralized runner to automatically rewrite a complex, multi-file authorization flaw directly in the main branch introduces a high risk of breaking logic errors. To mitigate this, agents must be restricted to generating pull requests (PRs). Once a PR is generated, it must automatically execute standard regression suites alongside the deterministic test harness. By rerunning the initial PoC against the patched code, the workflow repurposes the exploit script as a validation oracle to prove the vulnerability has been remediated. A human engineer then reviews the PR to validate the architectural logic before merging.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span>In all cases security teams should define a clear boundary between the two methods rather than rely on a single approach. IDE agents provide immediate, syntax-level support. They catch and resolve low-complexity errors locally before developers commit code. Centralized CI/CD runners handle broader organizational baselines. They propose complex, repository-wide fixes for vulnerabilities that bypass local environments.</span></p>
<h4><strong>Post-deployment controls</strong><span> </span></h4>
<p><span>Even with human review and deterministic test harnesses, AI-generated patches can still introduce logic regressions in production. Organizations should implement strict post-deployment controls:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Automated rollbacks:</strong><span> Treating LLM-generated code with the same post-deployment scrutiny as any major architectural change ensures that if an unforeseen regression traverses the CI/CD pipeline, the environment can revert to a known good state.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Mitigating model drift:</strong><span> Relying on managed AI services introduces the ongoing risk of model drift. To prevent silent weight updates from breaking test harnesses, organizations need to pin specific model API versions to frozen releases. When a pinned version reaches its end-of-life, organizations will face a forced migration. Mitigating this pipeline fragility requires combining model pinning with deterministic regression suites.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Compliance and auditability:</strong><span> If an AI agent automatically closes a security ticket or generates a patch in the CI/CD pipeline, organizations should maintain immutable audit logs to satisfy frameworks like SOC 2 ,PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, and CMMC. National security deployments must also account for data sovereignty requirements. This logging should record the specific model version that proposed the fix, the deterministic test results that validated it, and the human engineer who approved the merge. Furthermore, because emerging legislation like the EU AI Act emphasizes human oversight for high-risk applications, security teams should carefully evaluate how autonomous remediation workflows align with these evolving global regulatory standards.</span></p>

<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><h3><span>Conclusion</span></h3>
<p><span>Leveraging LLMs in vulnerability management is a multi-layer solution: Integrating it requires separating workflows by layer. At the enterprise infrastructure level, Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) and exposure management are necessary to process the volume of findings and configuration drift. At the product and code security level, LLM-enabled vulnerability assessment and remediation must operate alongside foundational deterministic controls, such as SAST and DAST, to audit custom, open-source, or third-party code.</span></p>
<p><span>Although LLMs can help manage technical debt and accelerate vulnerability discovery, they do not replace secure-by-design principles. The fact that LLM agents are proving exceptionally capable at identifying and exploiting localized memory corruption in memory-unsafe codebases, alongside other primary vectors, should serve as a wake-up call. </span></p>
<p><span>As a long-term strategy aligned with </span><a href="https://media.defense.gov/2022/Nov/10/2003112742/-1/-1/0/CSI_SOFTWARE_MEMORY_SAFETY.PDF" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span>NSA guidance on Software Memory Safety</span></a><span>, organizations need to phase memory-safe languages into new internal development. LLMs are beginning to expand what is possible here by reducing the manual labor required for code migration. Converting existing C or C++ codebases to Rust has historically been unrealistic due to the large volume of engineering hours needed. While fully automated translation is not a turn-key solution, using LLMs to assist engineers with the bulk of the conversion can make these long-term migrations operationally viable. Beyond internal efforts, organizations should use procurement requirements to incentivize vendors to reduce their reliance on memory-unsafe languages and establish secure configuration defaults over time. Bridging the gap between AI velocity and enterprise defense means building an automated pipeline to manage the current backlog, while architecting systems where entire classes of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations are eliminated by design.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apple Maps ads are getting closer to launch in the United States and Canada, and Apple has now revealed new rules that show exactly which businesses will not be allowed to advertise on the platform.



The updated advertising policy gives businesses a clearer idea of what Apple will accept while showing that the company wants to keep Maps focused on places people can visit instead of becoming a marketplace for every local service.



Apple first announced Apple Maps ads in March, saying they would appear at the top of search results and inside a new Suggested Places section. The company added the groundwork for those features with iOS 26.5, but it has not confirmed an official launch date beyond saying they will arrive this summer.



Apple bans three business categories from Maps ads



Apple's new Advertising Services policy adds three categories that cannot advertise on Apple Maps:




Home services, including plumbing, electrical work, locksmiths, HVAC, roofing, pest control, and general contractors.



Bail bond and criminal pretrial surety bond services.



Cryptocurrency ATM businesses.




Apple also says it will review ads related to medical services on a case-by-case basis instead of approving or rejecting them automatically.



This decision makes Apple Maps different from Google Maps, where home services represent one of the biggest local advertising categories. Those businesses often require extra identity checks and ongoing verification, and Apple appears to be avoiding that complexity during the initial rollout.



Apple wants a more curated Maps experience



The new policy suggests Apple plans to keep advertising closely tied to physical locations that customers actually visit. Advertised businesses will appear as a single sponsored result, marked with a blue halo on the map and a clear ad label in Suggested Places.



Apple also says information about the ads users interact with stays on the device instead of being collected by the company or shared with third parties.



The broader advertising rules remain strict



Beyond Maps, Apple's advertising policy also blocks a wide range of content, including:




Political advertising.



Weapons and explosives.



Controlled drugs and tobacco.



Violence and graphic content.



Deceptive or misleading advertising.



Counterfeit products and intellectual property violations.



Profanity, hate speech, and discriminatory content.




Although Apple has not announced a release date for Apple Maps ads, publishing these detailed advertiser rules strongly suggests the rollout is now close. The company has also left room to expand into more advertising categories in the future, but its first version of Apple Maps ads clearly focuses on maintaining a clean, navigation-first experience.]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With AI increasingly tucked into every cranny of the enterprise, someone has had to step up and provide the tools necessary to discover, track, and monitor all the agents and LLMs and keep them humming along in their various workflows. Thankfully, the DevOps world answered the call, building the tools to support our new overlords in an emerging subdiscipline interchangeably called “<a href="https://www.cio.com/article/196239/what-is-aiops-injecting-intelligence-into-it-operations.html">AIOps</a>,” “AgentOps,” and sometimes “agent observability.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of the challenges involved in AgentOps are similar to those tackled by traditional DevOps tools and processes. After all, at their foundation, LLMs are just software running on hardware somewhere. Typical issues involving RAM and disk space are just as important in the agent world, maybe more so because AI operations are even more greedy about consuming storage than regular software is.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of the companies supporting agent observability are big names in DevOps circles, having adapted their stacks to address the idiosyncrasies of modern LLMs. IT teams maintaining enterprise agents can treat the LLMs as just one node in a big graph filled with services that are constantly swapping packets and triggering software jobs. Latency and resource constraints must be managed because end-users don’t care whether it’s an LLM, a database, or a plain-old Python script that’s failing, bringing their work to a grinding halt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But new AI-specific challenges are opening the door to newcomers that are building tools with the peculiarities of LLMs in mind — for example, keeping deeper logs filled with records of prompts. LLMs are also often very non-deterministic by design, making it trickier to pinpoint failure modes. And then there’s the fact that an agent will give a perfectly intelligent answer one minute and hallucinate the next.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Relying on many of the same approaches that DevOps tools do, AgentOps tools watch for misbehavior and flag anything out of the ordinary for deeper analysis. This may be as simple as fixing slow responses, but it can also include AI hallucinations and other issues born of LLMs’ non-determanism.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Teams trying to choose which agent observability tools is best for their use case should look at the size and nature of their agentic systems and projects. Are they adding AI agent features to an existing product or application, or are they building agentic systems from scratch? Are they more focused on maintaining a stable LLM operation or iterating on new approaches? Is AI the center of attention or just an add-on that’s meant to improve an existing stack?<br><br>The AgentOps and agent observability options listed below share many of the same features but differ in their focus and their attention to the challenges organizations will encounter when incorporating agents into their stacks. Each tool offers a worthwhile place to start understanding how to care for the growing presence of AI in the production world.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AgentOps.ai</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When teams of agents work together, tracking the conversations are essential for understanding and debugging what’s happening. The SDK from <a href="http://agentops.ai/">AgentOps.ai records</a> events so that the creators can replay past behavior to track details such as token counts, spending, latency, and more. Available as a service and on-premises.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> <a href="https://www.agentops.ai/#pricing">Starts at $40 per month </a>plus usage costs at $0.20 per 1M tokens</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Standout feature:</em> Replay analytics with “time-travel debugging”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Best suited for:</em> Complex agent debugging</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arize Phoenix</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Debugging prompts and LLM responses requires a nuanced understanding of just what’s happening, in part because of the non-determinism that often enters the process. <a href="https://arize.com/phoenix/">Phoenix</a> from Arize supports this process with robust tracing and the ability to score the results for more precise iteration. Their system can track the results and tool calls from a variety of major platforms (Anthropic, AWS, OpenAI, etc.) that are initiated by the major frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, DSPy, etc.). The result is insight into what data is triggering what chain of responses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> Small free tier; <a href="https://arize.com/pricing/">Pro plan</a> starts at $50 per month plus costs tied to events</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Standout feature:</em> LLM-as-a-Judge metrics for tracking quality</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Braintrust</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Setting up an effective improvement cycle for an AI agent requires a strong feedback loop from production data to the agent’s next generation. <a href="https://www.braintrust.dev/">Braintrust</a> watches the production workload and creates test vectors that expose how an agent may be drifting, regressing, or departing from its path. The tool automates much of the testing and scoring feedback loop so problematic patterns can be discovered and addressed. A core part of the offering is a specialized data store that can track large and sometimes deeply nested collections of tests and their results. Their approach may be summarized by one of their tag lines: “trace everything.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> Free starter tier; <a href="https://www.braintrust.dev/pricing">Pro plan</a> starts at $249 with some usage-based costs covered</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Standout feature:</em> Highly scalable trace ingestion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Best for:</em> Teams developing strong guardrails through continuous testing</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chronicle Labs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When it’s time to release a new version of an agent into the wild, the <a href="https://chronicle-labs.com/">platform from Chronicle Labs </a>specializes in staging it and testing it with a collection of use tests and regression cases. The tools are also helpful during development cycles. “Backtest your agent against reality,” their sales material promises, with a set of tools that mines the production telemetry for solid test vectors that stress every part of the agent with prompts and challenges that the agent will encounter after leaving the safety of the lab.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> On <a href="https://chronicle-labs.com/book-call">request</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Standout feature:</em> Back-testing options for complex testing regimes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Best for:</em> Teams chasing strong models with good fidelity to reality</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Comet Opik</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building a dashboard for tracking every in-flow and out-flow to agents is one way to be ready to watch for and solve problems. <a href="https://www.comet.com/site/products/opik/">Opik from Comet </a>is just such a tool. The DevOps teams can track each call and add its own automated routines to examine the results, score them based on 30-plus metrics, and if desired, send it off to another LLM to evaluate the results. Agents that are constantly failing stand out. DevOps teams can also ask questions like, “Who is using this model and racking up all of the bills?” The same goes for MCP skills and other cogs in the machine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> Free tiers for open source and small projects; <a href="https://www.comet.com/site/pricing/">Pro plan</a> starts at $19 per month with usage limits</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Best for:</em> Teams focusing on RAG and agentic workflows</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Datadog</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">DevOps teams that rely on <a href="https://www.datadoghq.com/">Datadog</a> to track logs across collections of services can also use it to track LLM operations, which are, of course, just another source and sink for data. It will track performance such as time to first token and offer insight into what might be causing an issue, such as lack of memory. Results then get plugged into the same cost-tracking mechanism so the bean counters can predict when the budget will run out. After all, the CFO likely doesn’t care whether the bill comes from an LLM or an old-school S3 storage bucket. Datadog integrates AI into their tools by treating these models as just another source of data.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> Small free tier with <a href="https://www.datadoghq.com/pricing/">multiple paid tiers</a> for various levels of enterprise monitoring</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Standout feature:</em> Large installed base with broad focus on more than LLMs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Best for:</em> Large enterprise teams working with established infrastructure</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dynatrace</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For more than 20 years, <a href="https://www.dynatrace.com/">Dynatrace</a> has been delivering tools that track dataflows across the full stack. Now that AIs are finding roles in many of the nodes in this complex graph, they’re expanding to track how various AI agents can interact. They want to build one platform that helps track the root cause and, often now, deploy solutions autonomously. They want to focus on being ready to support complex networks of agents that detect problems in either performance or security and then work within defined guardrails to fix them. Determining the right role for their own AI-powered agents is a key part of the product.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> <a href="https://www.dynatrace.com/pricing/">Plans</a> start at $7 per month with larger plans designed for full enterprise monitoring</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Standout feature:</em> High level of autonomous monitoring designed for large installations</p>

Grafana tracks the evolution of answers across the agentic network to recognize how small changes or hallucinations can spin out of control. It bills its system as “actually useful AI” and has even trademarked it. Its cloud assistant can configure and reconfigure the Grafana dash to offer the right level of observability. Its system includes AI-level analysis that can flag models that are responding quickly but offering bad answers because of problems such as model drift or context degradation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> Basic free tier; <a href="https://grafana.com/pricing/">Pro plan</a> begins at $19 per month, includes better retention and some usage-based fees </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Best for:</em> Development teams who want to add better monitoring features quickly</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Laminar</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tracking agents in development and production means building strong storehouses of data enumerating what happened. <a href="https://laminar.sh/">Laminar</a> works closely with OpenTelemetry to follow agents operating in production so that flaws and failure modes can be understood from log files stored efficiently with their own compression scheme. Developers can search through traces with an SQL-ish language and Laminar’s transcript view illuminates what happened. When necessary, the traces can enable developers to scroll back in time and replay the same inputs for debugging. The goal is to offer deep insights with high-level visibility of how well the agents are meeting business objectives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> Small free tier; “Hobby” tier that adds more features at $30; <a href="https://laminar.sh/pricing">Pro level</a> starts at $150 per month</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Best for:</em> Teams relying on LangChain and LangGraph frameworks for supporting complex agentic behavior</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lunary</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Watching the user experience is essential for building AI applications such as chatbots and assistants. <a href="https://lunary.ai/">Lunary</a> offers a proxy that traces all interactions and then builds analytical dashboards for measuring metrics such as user satisfaction or model costs. One common usage is finding frequent topics and looking at the responses to ensure they deliver. When prompts aren’t perfect, Lunary lets teams iterate on the prompt text until the right answers are coming out. Its proxy structure and common API format enables Lunary to promise to work with “any LLM, any framework.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> Free tier; <a href="https://lunary.ai/pricing">Pro plan</a> starts at $20 per month</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Standout feature:</em> Deep integration with humans for reviewing and optimizing results</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The goal of <a href="https://novaaiops.com/">Nova AI Ops </a>is to deliver a team of agents that watch over a cloud and make it, at least partially, self-healing. Each agent uses a mixture of predictive AI and machine learning to watch cloud telemetry reports for anomalies. Then they calculate the “blast radius” and decide whether this is a problem that can be fixed automatically “while you sleep” or saved for the human supervisors. These tools are aimed not just on LLM operations but on the stack as a whole.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Pricing:</em> Small free tier; <a href="https://novaaiops.com/pricing">Standard pricing </a> begins at $40 per user per month with usage billing</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Best for:</em> Teams that need precise cost accounting</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vellum</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Prompt engineers spend time fussing over the details of tweaking, improving, and enhancing the words that guide the LLM. <a href="https://www.vellum.ai/">Vellum</a> started as a company that would provide the pipeline so that you could manage and improve the prompts that ran again and again. Now the system is growing more powerful, offering a higher level of automation that lets you meta-manage the prompt chain. They’ve also begun marketing it as a form of personal assistant with pre-built connections to many of the major services such as Gmail. Its <a href="https://github.com/vellum-ai/llm-cost-optimizer">llm-cost-optimizer </a>can juggle multiple options while finding a cheaper way to execute a prompt, a process the company suggests can save 60% or more.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Security experts are calling on enterprises to revise their vulnerability management strategies and move towards “just in time” patching in response the increased pace of vulnerability exploitation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Attackers are <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4181924/ai-worm-prototype-shows-attackers-dont-need-mythos-to-take-over-your-network.html">turning to AI</a> to increase the <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/3632268/gen-ai-is-transforming-the-cyber-threat-landscape-by-democratizing-vulnerability-hunting.html">rate of vulnerability exploitation</a> and supply chain compromise so that traditional forms of vulnerability management are no longer keeping pace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Muhammad Yahya Patel, vCISO and cybersecurity advisor for EMEA at managed security services vendor Huntress, recently <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4176086/vulnerabilities-have-become-cyber-attackers-no-1-door-to-the-enterprise.html">told CSO</a> that “organizations need to shift their vulnerability management program to a risk-based, continuous [approach], tied to real-time exploitation intelligence — not scheduled patch cycles that leave exploitation windows wide open for days and weeks.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wild frontier</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Frontier AI tools such as Claude Mythos have <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4158117/anthropics-mythos-signals-a-structural-cybersecurity-shift.html">signaled a structural shift for cybersecurity</a>, readily surfacing vulnerabilities at a huge scale — a development that, as government security assurance organizations such as the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre point out, is likely to lead to a surge in patches.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Most organizations already struggle to fix known issues quickly, so a spike in AI-driven discovery could easily overwhelm teams and widen the gap between finding problems and fixing them,” Andrew Woodford, CTO at network security vendor Titania, tells CSO. “In many ways, this just exposes a problem that’s already there.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shane Fry, CTO at cybersecurity vendor RunSafe Security, argues that <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/3520881/patch-management-a-dull-it-pain-that-wont-go-away.html">patching as a security strategy</a> has been in crisis for years, and AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery has simply pushed it over the edge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some experts contend that virtual patching — a technique that involves blocking exploit attempts at a security layer rather than fixing vulnerable code — represents a sound mitigation strategy, but Fry has reservations about the approach.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“While virtual patching will play a role going forward, its effectiveness is limited and leaves security teams chasing a gap they will never be able to close,” Fry says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead, security teams need to shift toward mitigation-first approaches that make it impossible for attackers to exploit bugs in software.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Removing entire classes of exploits upfront takes the heat out of the patch gap, and allows patching to become strategic rather than reactive,” Fry argues.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Assume Autonomy’</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conventional patch management model was designed around a world where vulnerability discovery happened at human speed: A human researcher finds a flaw, reports it, a CVE gets assigned, vendors ship a fix, enterprises test and deploy it — a process that can take weeks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI-powered vulnerability discovery blows this model out of the water.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“If offensive AI can identify, validate, and exploit vulnerabilities without human authorization, a 43-day median patch time, as noted in Verizon’s DBIR, is the least of your problems,” argues Rik Ferguson, vice president of security intelligence at Forescout. “An AI system doesn’t wait for a proof-of-concept to circulate on GitHub or a CVSS score to land in a dashboard. It finds the flaw, confirms exploitability, and moves.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ferguson advocates a change of approach toward what he describes as “Assume Autonomy.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The question is what compensating controls you put in place between discovery and remediation, and how you constrain what an attacker can do with access they’ve already acquired,” Ferguson explains.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just-in-time patching fits in with this philosophy and is a desirable goal but may be difficult to achieve in practice especially for the many enterprises that struggle with asset management.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Just-in-time patching is sound in principle: prioritize and deploy fixes as exploitation intelligence emerges rather than waiting for the scheduled window,” Ferguson says. “But achieving it has some real-world requirements: continuous asset visibility, knowing precisely what you have, where it is, and what its current exposure status is.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, Ferguson adds, “you can’t patch just-in-time against a vulnerability in a device you didn’t know was on your network.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Virtual patching</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gunter Ollmann, CTO at pen testing as a service firm Cobalt, notes that just-in-time patching makes sense if and when a patch is available — but that’s not always possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The major problem lies in the discovery of new vulnerabilities in code or systems that the business has no rights or capabilities to fix themselves, and they have a dependence upon third parties to develop the fix or patch — and are therefore subject to external SLA [service level agreement] turnarounds,” Ollmann explains.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In such cases, enterprises will need to deploy virtual patches capable of blocking or deflecting the exploitation vectors of the vulnerable system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Businesses are in desperate need of quickly deciphering a new vulnerability and dynamically creating an appropriate blocking rule — or rules — for their layered defenses,” Ollmann says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Virtual patching may mitigate security threats particularly in operational technology (OT) and IoT environments where applying a vendor patch to a running production system risks unplanned downtime or safety system interruption but only serves as a stop gap, Ferguson tells CSO.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“A network-layer control that blocks exploitation of a known flaw, while you work through the testing and deployment cycle for the actual fix, is a compensating control,” notes Ferguson, who warns that virtual patches come with multiple drawbacks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Virtual patches require accurate detection signatures, they don’t remediate the underlying vulnerability, and they can create a false sense of closure that delays proper patching indefinitely,” Ferguson argues. “The risk is that temporary becomes permanent. The underlying vulnerability stays open, and the virtual patch becomes the reason nobody revisits it.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Just-in-time risk reduction</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Douglas McKee, director of vulnerability intelligence at Rapid7, advocates what he describes as just-in-time risk reduction rather than just-in-time patching because of the practical difficulties with the latter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“In the real world, especially in OT, medical devices, and business-critical systems, you can’t always patch the second a CVE drops,” McKee argues. “You still need testing, maintenance windows, rollback plans, and someone who actually owns the asset. However, the old monthly scan, report, and remediation cycle will not survive this pace.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tips for modernizing vulnerability management</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The enterprise attack surface has expanded significantly of late, and patch management models haven’t kept up. In response, security leaders’ vulnerability management strategies have to become more of a continuous monitoring function, not a triage and remediation process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Modernizing enterprise approaches to vulnerability management involves “real-time exploitation intelligence integrated into prioritization, compensating controls deployed at discovery rather than at patch release, and visibility across the full asset estate that conventional patch management tools were never designed to cover,” Ferguson says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rapid7’s McKee stresses that security teams need to separate “known vulnerable” from “actually reachable and exploitable in my environment.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This process can be achieved through a combination of asset inventory, internet exposure mapping, KEV tracking, vulnerability intelligence, ownership, and emergency change paths.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Prioritization based on risk factors like public exposure, known exploitation, automation potential, and technical impact is key,” McKee concludes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 101 enterprises, agent orchestration is consolidating onto model-provider platforms — Anthropic’s Claude leads by a wide margin — chosen for the gravity of the underlying model and judged on reliable multi-step execution. But the ambition runs well ahead of the reality: most deployed “agents” are still chatbot wrappers, the control plane enterprises expect is deliberately hybrid to avoid lock-in, and real-time fiscal control over token burn remains the exception.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines enterprise agent orchestration: which platforms enterprises run on, what drives the choice, what they optimize for, how they expect agent control to be structured, and — most revealingly — how orchestrated their deployed “agents” actually are and how tightly they control the cost of running them.</p><p>The central finding is a gap between orchestration ambition and orchestration reality. Enterprises are consolidating fast onto the major model platforms: Anthropic’s Claude is the primary platform for 40%, more than double any rival, followed by Microsoft (18%) and OpenAI (13%). The choice is driven by “model gravity” — native alignment with a state-of-the-art base model (21%) — and success is judged by reliable, multi-step execution (task completion reliability 32%, multi-step workflow management 28%). Yet asked to assess their portfolios honestly, 71% say a quarter or fewer of their deployed “agents” are true multi-step orchestrated workflows rather than single-prompt chatbot wrappers, and only 10% have crossed the halfway mark. The orchestration layer is being built well ahead of the orchestrated portfolio it is meant to run.</p><p>That gap shapes the architecture enterprises are putting in place. By the end of 2026 a clear majority (51%) expect a hybrid control plane — provider-native plus external orchestration — and only 6% expect to hand control to a provider-managed service, because vendor lock-in (35%) is the risk they fear most if control lives inside a model provider. Investment follows the build-out: agent workflow tooling leads the spend (34%), with security and permissions enforcement (25%) behind. And fiscal control lags throughout — more than a quarter (27%) have no real-time way to stop a runaway agent before the bill arrives.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this instrument focused on enterprise agent orchestration. Responses are filtered to organizations with 100 or more employees (n=101), drawn from a single June 2026 wave; because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends.</p><p>By organization size the sample is spread evenly across the enterprise bands: 100–499 employees, 2,500–9,999, and 50,000+ (21% each), with 10,000–49,999 and 500–2,499 (19% each). By role it is senior and buyer-credible: product and program managers (15%), CIO/CTO/CISO (13%), consultants and advisors (13%), and a spread of data, AI, and engineering directors and VPs, with an “Other” function at 18%. On purchasing, 81% are recommenders, influencers, or final decision-makers for AI solutions (66% recommender/influencer, 15% final decision-maker). Technology/Software is the largest industry at 44%, followed by Financial Services (17%) and Healthcare/Life Sciences (8%).</p><p>At 101 respondents the sample is robust enough to read directionally with reasonable confidence, though it remains self-selected and is not a probability sample.</p><h2>Finding 1: Orchestration runs on model-provider platforms</h2><p><b>Anthropic’s Claude leads; open frameworks are marginal</b></p><p>We asked which agent orchestration platform enterprises primarily use today. The answer concentrates on the major model providers — and on one in particular.</p><div></div><p>A note on reading these shares. As described in the methodology section, the respondents are self-selected, and this question asked them for a single primary platform — so the figures measure which platform leads each enterprise's deployment, within a self-selected audience of AI-active technical decision-makers. A sample built this way can diverge substantially from spend-weighted market measures, and each VB Pulse survey draws its own sample with its own company-size mix, so vendor figures should not be compared across our surveys either. Read these shares as a portrait of where this cohort has placed its primary orchestration bet today, rather than as market share.</p><p>The model platforms dominate. Anthropic, Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and Amazon together account for roughly 80% of deployments (81 of 101), while the open frameworks (LangChain/LangGraph) and custom in-house builds that anchor engineering discussion sit in single digits. Anthropic’s lead — 40%, more than double the next platform — mirrors the “model gravity” selection logic in Finding 2: enterprises are choosing the orchestration layer that comes with the model they want to build on. As with the security vendors in the prior agent-security wave, the tools that define the category in technical circles are not yet where enterprise deployment concentrates. A small 3% are not orchestrating at all.</p><p>Respondents rate the platforms they run at 3.94 out of 5 overall (109 answered), with “value for money” specifically at 3.94 and “ease of implementation” the weakest score, at 3.85 — placing orchestration near the bottom of our five-tracker satisfaction range, ahead of only evaluation tooling. A rating just under 4 out of 5, from users of whom 96% plan to change their orchestration approach within the year, reads as provisional acceptance: the platforms work well enough to run today, and not well enough to stop the search for something better. The ratings sit alongside near-universal intent to change; this is a layer enterprises tolerate more than they love.</p><h2>Finding 2: Model gravity drives platform selection</h2><p><b>The base model, not the tooling, decides the platform</b></p><p>We asked what most influenced the orchestration platform choice. The single largest factor is the pull of the underlying model — though flexibility and ease of development follow close behind.</p><div></div><p>Model gravity leading is the selection-side explanation for Anthropic’s platform lead: enterprises pick the orchestration environment closest to the frontier model they have standardized on. But the next tier complicates the picture — flexibility across models and tools (17%) and ease of development (17%) say enterprises also want to avoid being trapped by that choice, foreshadowing the lock-in fear in Finding 6. Security and permissions (14%) and total cost of ownership (11%) round out a pragmatic buying logic. Performance (latency/memory) sits last at 4%, a reminder that at this stage of adoption the binding constraints are model fit and optionality, not raw speed.</p><h2>Finding 3: The job is reliable multi-step execution</h2><p><b>Enterprises just orchestration by whether it completes the work</b></p><p>We asked what enterprises optimize for — their primary success metric for orchestration. Reliability and multi-step workflow management dominate; developer- and user-facing metrics trail.</p><div></div><p>Task completion reliability (32%) and multi-step workflow management (28%) together account for 59% of responses (60 of 101): orchestration succeeds, in the enterprise view, when it reliably carries a task through multiple steps to completion. Developer productivity (17%) matters but is secondary — the inverse of its prominence in framework discussion — and end-user experience (9%) is a minor concern, consistent with orchestration being an internal execution problem rather than a UX one. This reliability-first standard is exactly what makes the Chatbot Trap finding so pointed: enterprises define success as dependable multi-step execution, yet most of their deployed “agents” do not yet do multi-step work at all.</p><p>The trap is not evenly distributed. Splitting the sample by organization size, 77% of smaller enterprises say a quarter or fewer of their agents do true multi-step work, against 62% of larger ones. Larger enterprises are meaningfully further into genuine multi-step deployment; the chatbot trap is, directionally, a mid-market condition.</p><h2>Finding 4: Consolidate, productionize, and build in-house </h2><p><b>Three strategic moves are nearly tied for the year ahead</b></p><p>We asked what major change enterprises anticipate in their orchestration strategy over the next 12 months. Three moves cluster at the top, almost evenly split.</p><div></div><p>The top three — building in-house control (25%), standardizing on one framework (24%), and moving agents from sandbox to production (23%) — are statistically indistinguishable and tell a single story: enterprises are moving from experimentation to operational consolidation. They want fewer frameworks, more production exposure, and more ownership of the control layer; only 4% expect no change. The appetite for custom in-house control planes is notable alongside the platform concentration in Finding 1 — enterprises are standardizing on model-provider platforms while simultaneously planning to wrap them in control logic they own, the hybrid posture that Finding 6 makes explicit.</p><h2>Finding 5: Investment flows to workflow tooling</h2><p><b>Tooling and permissions lead the spend; monitoring trails</b></p><p>We asked which orchestration-related investment will grow most next year. Agent workflow tooling leads, with security and permissions enforcement behind.</p><div></div><p>Workflow tooling leading (34%) is the budget-side expression of the reliability-and-multi-step priority in Finding 3: the money is going to the machinery that strings steps together dependably. Security and permissions enforcement (25%) and scaling infrastructure (20%) follow — the investments required to take agents from sandbox into production, the strategic move in Finding 4. Monitoring and debugging draws a smaller 11%, with another 11% reporting flat budgets. The weight on tooling, permissions, and scaling over pure observability signals that enterprises are spending to build and harden orchestration, not merely to watch it run.</p><h2>Finding 6: The control plane will be hybrid — and lock-in is why</h2><p><b>Enterprises expect to split control between providers and their own layer</b></p><p>We asked where enterprises expect the primary control plane for agents to live by the end of 2026, and what worries them most if that control sits inside a model-provider platform. A clear majority expect a hybrid model — and vendor lock-in is the reason.</p><div></div><p>Hybrid control is the dominant expectation by a wide margin (51%), and only 6% expect to hand control to a provider-managed service outright. Read together, the hybrid, custom, and externally-abstracted options — every architecture that keeps control at least partly outside the provider — sum to 88% (89 of 101). The reason surfaces directly when we asked about the risk of provider-resident control: vendor lock-in leads at 35% (35 of 101), ahead of security and permissioning limitations (28%) and inflexibility across models and tools (21%). The pattern echoes the prior wave’s “don’t trust the model to police itself” posture — here, enterprises will build on a provider’s platform but decline to be governed entirely by it. The hybrid control plane is the architectural hedge against the lock-in they most fear.</p><p>The June figure asserting a preference for a hybrid control plane marks movement from earlier. In the April–May survey (n=145), only 34% expected a hybrid control plane, and a greater number (12%) expected to hand control fully to a provider-managed service. These two snapshots don’t yet measure a confirmed longitudinal trend — but the direction of the conversation is unambiguous: toward keeping control.</p><p>Lock-in is also a new arrival as a top concern. In the April–May wave, the leading concern was security and permissioning limitations (32%), with lock-in second at 24%; by June the two had traded places. The worry about provider platforms appears to be maturing from whether they can be secured to whether they can be replaced.</p><h2>Finding 7: The chatbot trap — most “agents” aren’t agents yet</h2><p><b>Enterprises admit most deployments are still chatbot wrappers</b></p><p>We asked enterprises to assess their portfolios honestly: what share of their deployed “agents” are true multi-step orchestrated workflows versus simple single-prompt chatbot wrappers. The answer is the defining finding of this wave.</p><div></div><p>This is the gap at the center of the report. Combining the bottom two bands, 71% of enterprises (72 of 101) say a quarter or fewer of their deployed “agents” are genuinely orchestrated — and just 10% (10 of 101) have crossed the halfway mark. The ambition documented in the earlier findings — model-provider platforms, reliability-first success metrics, production rollouts, a deliberate control architecture — runs well ahead of the deployed reality, which remains overwhelmingly single-prompt assistants dressed as agents. This is less a contradiction than a roadmap: the platforms, budgets, and strategies are being put in place precisely because the orchestrated portfolio is still so thin. The open question for later waves is how fast the reality closes on the ambition.</p><h2>Finding 8: Fiscal control is still reactive</h2><p><b>Only a minority can stop a runaway agent before the bill arrives</b></p><p>Finally, we asked how enterprises enforce fiscal control over agent token consumption — the risk that an autonomous loop exhausts a budget before anyone intervenes. Most rely on native caps or after-the-fact monitoring; real-time programmatic control is the exception.</p><div></div><p>More than a quarter of enterprises (27%) admit they have no real-time, programmatic way to stop an agent before a budget-breaking bill arrives — they learn of it from the logs afterward. Another 32% lean entirely on the native caps and throttles built into their primary platform, a control only as good as the provider’s tooling and one that ties back to the lock-in concern of Finding 6. The enterprises building custom gateways (23%) or exploiting cross-model routing to arbitrage cost (19%) are the ones treating token burn as an engineering problem to be controlled deterministically. As with orchestration maturity, fiscal control is an area where the operational reality lags the ambition: agents are moving toward production faster than the cost-control plane around them is being built.</p><p>It’s worth noting, a split appears according to company size: roughly one in three enterprises under 2,500 employees (34%) exercises only reactive control of agent spend, against 20% of larger enterprises — directional figures, but consistent with the chatbot-trap split. The mid-market is running the least mature agents on the least instrumented budgets.</p><h2>The bottom line: The layer is real; most of the agents aren't yet</h2><p>Organizations with 100 or more employees describe an orchestration strategy that is consolidating quickly and maturing slowly. They are standardizing on model-provider platforms — Anthropic’s Claude leads at 40% — chosen for the gravity of the underlying model, and they judge success by reliable multi-step execution. Investment is flowing to workflow tooling and permissions, the strategy is to consolidate frameworks and push agents into production, and the control plane they expect is deliberately hybrid, because vendor lock-in is the risk they fear most.</p><p>But the honest self-assessment punctures the ambition. Seventy-one percent say a quarter or fewer of their deployed “agents” are truly orchestrated, only 10% are past the halfway mark, and more than a quarter cannot stop a runaway agent in real time. The orchestration layer — the platforms, the budgets, the control architecture — is being built ahead of the orchestrated portfolio it is meant to run. At 101 respondents in a single June wave this reads as a clear directional signal rather than a precise measurement: enterprises have decided how they want to orchestrate agents well before most of their agents are doing anything an orchestration layer is for. The question for subsequent waves is whether the deployed reality closes the gap on the ambition — or whether the chatbot trap proves stickier than the roadmap assumes.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 101 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single June 2026 wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, results read directionally rather than as a confirmed trend. Respondents include product and program managers, CIOs, CTOs and CISOs, consultants and advisors, and directors and VPs of data, AI, and engineering, across Technology/Software, Financial Services, Healthcare, and other sectors.</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apple Intelligence China is finally moving forward after receiving a major green light from the local cyberspace regulator. The agency officially registered the service on Wednesday, clearing a massive legal hurdle for bringing every new Apple Intelligence feature arriving on your devices to users across the region.



While this step does not give us a firm launch date, it serves as a huge turning point for Apple in a highly competitive market where smartphone buyers constantly look for fresh software updates.



Alibaba and Baidu step in to power local features



To make this happen, the company is relying on local partnerships to safely navigate the strict rules surrounding artificial intelligence. Alibaba officially confirmed that its Qwen model will run directly inside the system, handling text and image understanding along with content generation.



Instead of switching between different apps, people will be able to use these tools natively across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. This creates a much smoother daily routine for anyone holding an iPhone or working on a Mac.



Additionally, Baidu is helping the hardware maker develop other specific functions to ensure the software meets regional demands. By leaning on these local players, the company avoids the massive roadblock of bringing outside models into a heavily regulated internet space, keeping its core ecosystem intact.



The paperwork is done but users still have to wait



Getting the official registration from the internet regulator is a huge win, but a completed filing simply means permission to proceed. It does not mean a public rollout is happening tomorrow.



The regulator did not provide a specific timeline for when Apple Intelligence will actually go live for the public. The company still needs to figure out how exactly it will blend its own system tools with Chinese content rules and local server requirements before hitting the launch button.



This approval comes at a very good time, as the brand recently saw a 24.4 percent jump in its regional device shipments during the second quarter. Adding fresh AI tools could help keep that momentum going against tough domestic rivals like Huawei.



As the regulatory dust settles, all eyes are on how smoothly the company can launch this tailored experience without compromising the familiar feel of its software.]]></content:encoded>

<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The model of the forward deployed engineer is sweeping through enterprise IT like a gold rush, and I’m concerned that many companies don’t understand what they’re signing up for.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s start with the headline numbers. <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/aws/aws-1-billion-forward-deployed-ai-engineers">AWS announced a $1 billion investment</a> in a new Forward Deployed Engineering organization. Google Cloud committed $750 million to expand similar programs. <a href="https://newsroom.accenture.com/news/2026/accenture-launches-microsoft-forward-deployed-engineering-practice-to-help-organizations-scale-ai-across-the-enterprise">Microsoft has been running Azure-focused embedded engineering teams for years</a>, including partnerships with Accenture to scale forward deployed engineering practices. All three are pitching the same story: We’ll send engineers to work directly with your teams, help you deploy AI, and accelerate your <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/230425/what-is-digital-transformation-a-necessary-disruption.html">digital transformation</a>. You get top-tier technical talent for free, and we get to partner with you on your journey.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It sounds reasonable on the surface. It sounds collaborative, even generous. But I’ve been in this industry long enough to know that when a multi-billion-dollar company offers you something for free, they’re sure to get much more than they give.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What you actually get</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The forward deployed engineer model isn’t new. The consulting industry has been doing some version of it for decades. What makes this different is the scale and the direct financial incentive behind it. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These engineers work for the cloud provider. They’re not your employees. They’re not independent consultants. They’re technically excellent professionals who are being paid to solve your immediate problems while simultaneously building relationships and architectures that favor their employer’s ecosystem. Think about it from their perspective. Those forward engineers are evaluated on whether customers succeed with their employer’s platform. They’re rewarded when enterprises adopt more services from that platform. Their career advancement depends on making AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure the obvious choice for all of your technical decisions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This isn’t a criticism of the individual engineers. Many of them are genuinely talented and genuinely want to help. But they’re operating within a system that rewards specific outcomes, and those outcomes align with the vendor’s financial interests, not necessarily yours.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The problem no one talks about</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here’s what I see happening at enterprises right now. A company decides they need help deploying AI. A cloud provider offers to embed engineers at no additional cost. Those engineers work alongside internal teams, make architectural recommendations, and help build out systems. Six months later, the company has a production AI system running on a single cloud platform, built by people with deep expertise in that specific platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The problem? Nobody evaluated whether that platform was actually the best choice for the business. Nobody looked at alternatives. Nobody asked whether a <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/3584433/are-you-ready-for-multicloud-a-checklist.html">multicloud </a>architecture or best-of-breed approach might deliver better results at lower cost.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The engineers embedded in these programs are not going to recommend that you split your workloads across providers. They’re not going to suggest you use <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2262355/what-is-open-source-software-open-source-and-foss-explained.html">open source</a> tools where they make sense. They’re not going to point you toward a competitor when their employer’s solution will work well enough. That’s not how these programs are designed to function. What you’re getting is optimized architecture for a single cloud brand, not optimized architecture for your business.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The financial reality will hit</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The bills are going to come due, and they’re going to be painful. I’ve watched this pattern play out before. When enterprises lock into a single cloud provider through these embedded engineering programs, they often discover two or three years later that they’re paying premiums that their more independent-thinking competitors avoided.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reasons are straightforward. When you’re architecting systems around a single platform, you naturally fall into usage patterns that favor that platform’s pricing structures. You use their managed databases instead of portable alternatives. You adopt their AI services instead of evaluating third-party options. You build workflows that only work within their ecosystem. And when it comes time to renegotiate or benchmark against alternatives, you find that migrating would cost more than accepting whatever pricing they offer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve spent the past decade helping companies untangle from these situations. I’ve seen organizations with cloud bills 15 to 20 times higher than they should be, unable to migrate because their entire AI infrastructure is built on proprietary services that only work on one platform. The forward deployed engineer programs are accelerating this problem. They’re making it easier to get into these situations and harder to get out.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Think before you commit</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before you accept one of these programs, consider these three recommendations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>First, require independent architecture oversight</strong> from day one. Hire or engage architects who work for your company, not for your cloud provider. They should evaluate every recommendation made by embedded engineers against business requirements and compare options across providers. This isn’t about being suspicious of the engineers. It’s about ensuring that decisions are made with your interests in mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Second, demand a clear exit strategy</strong> before you begin. Ask the cloud provider to document which proprietary services you’re using, what migration paths exist, and what the cost would be to move to an alternative platform. If they can’t provide that information, or if the migration costs seem impossibly high, that’s a sign that you’re building technical debt that will be very expensive to service later.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Third, benchmark your costs</strong> continuously. Set up internal processes to compare your cloud spending against industry benchmarks and against what your competitors might be paying for similar workloads. Don’t wait until your contract renewal to discover that you’re paying premium prices. Monitor expenses from the beginning, and be willing to challenge your cloud provider if you’re not getting value that justifies the cost.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The bottom line</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The forward deployed engineers are solving real problems. Enterprises genuinely struggle with AI deployment, and having experienced engineers available to help is valuable. I’m not suggesting these programs are fundamentally bad. However, they’re being marketed as neutral partnerships when they’re actually strategic sales programs designed to lock enterprises into specific platforms. The helpful engineers showing up at your office are building dependencies that will be very difficult to break. The “free” technical assistance is being funded by margins on services you’ll be buying for years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Go in with your eyes open. Use these programs but add your own independent oversight. Build architectures that you could leave if you needed to. And don’t let the immediate satisfaction of having problems solved today blind you to the financial consequences that will arrive tomorrow.</p>

<hr></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><h3><span>Introduction</span><strong> </strong></h3>
<p><span>Mandiant security assessments frequently identify publicly exposed serverless applications that lack authentication, often as a result of specific business requirements. Serverless deployments typically run custom-developed code that incorporates third-party packages, making them targets for a wide range of application-level attacks, including:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>Local and Remote File Inclusion (LFI/RFI)</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>Command Injection</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span>Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities can grant an attacker full control over the underlying container instance. Such access can serve as a foothold that may ultimately lead to a full compromise of the victim’s cloud environment.</span></p>
<p><span>Based on lessons learned in customer engagements, in this blog post we describe attack scenarios and provide actionable guidance on how to secure serverless environments. While this analysis focuses on hardening strategies for Google Cloud Run services and functions that must remain publicly accessible, these principles apply universally to any public serverless deployment.</span></p>
<h3><span>What are Serverless Applications?</span></h3>
<p><span>Serverless applications, also described as Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), allow the deployment of individual blocks of code as microservices within a flexible, decoupled, and event-driven cloud architecture without the need to manage underlying infrastructure. These services enable applications and automations to scale automatically and deploy instantly, removing operational overhead. </span><span>Serverless services underpin major e-commerce, media, payment processing applications, and AI usage.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The rapid expansion of generative AI adoption is a significant driver of increased serverless architecture use. </span><span>AI workflows, including chatbot interactions, image generation, “vibe-coding”, and multi-step AI agents rely on serverless functions to complete tasks for users. </span><span>This growth has made securing serverless environments a more pressing challenge for enterprise security teams. </span></p>
<h3><span>Risks of Serverless Application Attacks</span></h3>
<p><span>Publicly exposed serverless workloads can serve as an initial access point for threat actors. As noted, these services may contain vulnerabilities within the code, imported packages, or the underlying runtime environment.</span></p>
<p><span>Once an entry point is exploited, attackers typically attempt to escalate privileges or move laterally. Common techniques observed include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>Extracting secrets stored directly within the application code.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>Reviewing application logic and sensitive data to identify further attack vectors within the environment.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>Exfiltrating service account bearer tokens from the metadata server following successful Remote Code Execution (RCE).</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span>Leveraging these compromised secrets or service accounts allows threat actors to pivot to adjacent systems and workloads, potentially resulting in a total environment takeover if proper hardening strategies are not in place.</span></p>
<h3><span>Example Attack Scenarios</span></h3>
<p><span>The following simplified scenarios illustrate how serverless functions can be compromised and how attackers pivot after achieving initial code execution.</span></p>
<h4><span>Local File Inclusion (LFI) </span></h4>
<p><span>In the following Cloud Run example, a Python/Flask function accepts user-controlled input to open a file without performing proper validation. This pattern is an example of a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability.</span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><pre class="language-plain"><code>import functions_framework

@functions_framework.http
def hello_http(request):
    request_json = request.get_json(silent=True)
    request_args = request.args
    if request_json and 'file' in request_json:
        file = request_json['file']
    elif request_args and 'file' in request_args:
        file = request_args['file']
 
# VULNERABILITY: The 'file' parameter is used directly in open() 
# without validation, allowing arbitrary file access
    with open(file, 'r') as resp:
          filedata = resp.read()
    return 'local file data {}!'.format(filedata)</code></pre>
<p><span><span>Figure 1: Vulnerable Python/Flask function accepting unvalidated user input to open files</span></span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><p><span>This vulnerability allows an attacker to request sensitive files from the Cloud Run instance by using </span><code>curl</code><span> to send a POST request via the </span><code>file</code><span> parameter:</span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><pre class="language-plain"><code>curl -X POST https://cloudrun01-abc.europe-west3.run.app/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"file": "main.py"}'</code></pre>
<p><span><span>Figure 2: curl POST request targeting the file parameter</span></span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><p><span>The response provides the complete </span><code>main.py</code><span> source code. An attacker can analyze the code for:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>Hardcoded secrets such as API keys, database credentials, or authentication tokens</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>Business logic flaws and additional injection points</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>Internal service endpoints and architecture details</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>Import statements revealing the technology stack and potential CVE exposure</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span>Additionally, attackers can leverage standard </span><code>../</code><span> directory traversal sequences to retrieve sensitive system files:</span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><pre class="language-plain"><code>curl -X POST https://cloudrun01-abc.europe-west3.run.app/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"file": "../../../etc/passwd"}'</code></pre>
<p><span><span>Figure 3: curl POST request leveraging directory traversal sequences</span></span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><p><span>An LFI vulnerability allows an attacker to retrieve and fuzz various files directly from the container. Key examples include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><code>requirements.txt, package.json, go.mod</code><span>: Used to identify installed packages and versions with known vulnerabilities.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>.</span><code>env</code><span> files: Frequently contain sensitive environment variables or hard coded secrets.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Application configuration files: </strong><span>May contain database credentials, API keys, or service endpoints if not securely managed.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><code>/etc/passwd, /proc/self/environ</code><span>: Contains user information, environment variables.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Application logs: </strong><span>may contain auth tokens or PII data.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Best Practice:</strong><span> Never store secrets or credentials within the source code or local container files. Utilize a dedicated secrets management solution, such as Secret Manager.</span></p>
<h4><span>Code Execution/Command Injection</span></h4>
<p><span>In the following scenario, a Python function uses shell execution methods with unsanitized user input, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.</span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><pre class="language-plain"><code>import functions_framework
import subprocess


@functions_framework.http
def hello_http(request):
  request_json = request.get_json(silent=True)
  request_args = request.args
  if request_json and 'input' in request_json:
      input = request_json['input']
  elif request_args and 'input' in request_args:
      input = request_args['input']
  result = subprocess.run(input, shell=True,capture_output=True, text=True)
  return format(result)</code></pre>
<p><span><span>Figure 4: Python function utilizing shell execution with unsanitized user input</span></span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><p><span>This allows an attacker to execute a subsequent curl request targeting the GCP metadata service to retrieve the service account’s bearer token. </span></p>
<p><span>The following request extracts the service account's OAuth 2.0 bearer token, which remains valid for 1 hour:</span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><pre class="language-plain"><code>curl -X POST https://cloudrun02-abc.europe-west3.run.app/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"input\": \"curl 'http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/token' -H 'Metadata-Flavor: Google'\"}"</code></pre>
<p><span><span>Figure 5:</span><span> </span><span>Extraction of a GCP service account bearer token via a curl request</span></span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><p><span>Once obtained, an attacker can use it on an attacker-controlled system to execute Google Cloud CLI commands. For example the </span><code>CLOUDSDK_AUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN</code><span> environment variable can be set using the stolen bearer token.</span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><pre class="language-plain"><code>export CLOUDSDK_AUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN=”obtain bearer token”</code></pre>
<p><span><span>Figure 6: Defining CLOUDSDK_AUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable</span></span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><p><span>Attackers can then leverage Google Cloud Cloud CLI within the security context of the Cloud Run Compute service account. If deployed without best practices and thoughtful configuration controls, for example, if the  Cloud Run service runs as the default compute service account with Editor permissions, this would be equivalent to a full GCP project takeover, and allow the attacker to:</span></p>

<p role="presentation"><span>Establish persistent backdoors through new service accounts or SSH keys.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><span>Hardening Recommendations</span></h3>
<p><span>Mandiant recommends that organizations implement parallel approaches for effective serverless security:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Secure Software Development Lifecycle (S-SDLC): </strong><span>integrate security scanning, code review, least-privilege IAM into CI/CD pipelines before deployment and integrate continuous security testing; </span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Vibe Coding</strong><span>: Mandiant recommends multi-layered security enforcement for AI-generated code or "vibe coding." Organizations should isolate AI experimentation within dedicated sandbox environments and enforce strict data egress controls to protect production systems and internal data. Furthermore, development environments should be restricted to approved IDEs with human-in-the-loop capabilities, utilizing only verified plugins operating under least privilege to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities. Finally, organizations must ensure this AI-generated software follows Secure Software Development Lifecycle (S-SDLC) controls while establishing clear internal guidelines regarding permitted use cases. Comprehensive security fundamentals for vibe coding are documented in detail within the </span><a href="https://www.wiz.io/academy/ai-security/vibe-coding-security" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span>Wiz Vibe Coding Security Fundamentals blog</span></a><span>.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Compensating Runtime Controls: </strong><span>Implement the following defense-in-depth measures to limit and contain compromise even when application vulnerabilities exist;</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><span>Segregate Public Services</span></h4>
<p><span>Host public-facing Cloud Run services consumed by untrusted external entities in a dedicated, isolated Google Cloud project. This ensures a compromise does not provide an immediate path to critical internal resources. The implementation of this 'Service Project' model is beyond the scope of this post; however, it is documented in detail within the </span><a href="https://docs.cloud.google.com/architecture/blueprints/serverless-blueprint"><span>secured serverless architecture blueprint</span></a><span>.</span></p>
<h4><span>Identity and Access Management (IAM)</span></h4>
<p><span>Mandiant recommends using a custom service account for service authentication rather than the default Compute Engine service account, following the principle of least privilege. Grant only the specific permissions necessary for the Cloud Run function to operate, for example:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Cloud Storage Bucket Access:</strong><span> If the service only requires read access to objects from a Cloud Storage bucket, grant the </span><code>Storage Object Viewer</code><span> (</span><code>roles/storage.objectViewer</code><span>) role restricted to that specific bucket.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Secret Manager Access:</strong><span>  If the service requires access to secrets, grant the</span><code> Secret Manager Secret Accessor</code><span> (</span><code>roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor</code><span>) role only to the individual secrets required. For further details on secret access from Cloud Run, refer to the </span><a href="https://docs.cloud.google.com/run/docs/configuring/services/secrets#required_roles"><span>GCP documentation on configuring secrets</span></a><span>.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><span>Layer 7 Application Load Balancer (ALB) Architecture</span></h4>
<p><span>Restrict ingress traffic for serverless functions to internal only and use an external Layer 7 ALB to manage internet exposure. This provides:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Centralized Traffic Management:</strong><span> Granular control over headers and SSL policies.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Cloud Armor Integration:</strong><span> Web Application Firewall (WAF) support to harden applications against vulnerabilities such as Local/Remote File Inclusion (LFI/RFI) and Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Traffic Shaping: </strong><span>Implementation of rate limits and request limitations to prevent abuse.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Enhanced Visibility:</strong><span> Robust logging and log-forwarding capabilities for security monitoring.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><strong>Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP):</strong><span> integration support for scenarios requiring specific identity-based authentication for internal users.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><span>Web Application Firewall (WAF) <span>—</span> Cloud Armor</span></h4>
<p><a href="https://cloud.google.com/security/products/armor"><span>Cloud Armor</span></a><span> provides WAF protections that can be integrated with the Load Balancer to filter malicious traffic. The following examples demonstrate how to configure Cloud Armor security policies to block the specific local file inclusions, remote code execution and traversal attacks previously outlined.</span></p>
<h4><span>Local File Inclusion</span></h4>
<p><span>The </span><code>lfi-v33-stable</code><span> preconfigured WAF rules can block common local file inclusion attacks (</span><a href="https://docs.cloud.google.com/armor/docs/waf-rules#local_file_inclusion_lfi"><span>local file inclusion reference</span></a><span>).</span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><pre class="language-plain"><code>evaluatePreconfiguredWaf('lfi-v33-stable', {'sensitivity': 3})</code></pre>
<p><span><span>Figure 7: Cloud Armor lfi-v33-stable WAF rule configuration</span></span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><p><span>Blocking a path traversal request </span><code>../../../etc/passwd</code><span> resulting in a 403 forbidden:</span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><pre class="language-plain"><code>curl -X POST https://exampleabc01.com -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"file": "../../../etc/passwd}'
&lt;!doctype html&gt;&lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name=viewport content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"&gt;&lt;title&gt;403&lt;/title&gt;403 Forbidden</code></pre>
<p><span><span>Figure 8: Verification of Cloud Armor blocking path traversal request, resulting in a 403 forbidden</span></span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><h4><span>Remote Code Execution</span></h4>
<p><span>The </span><code>rce-v33-stable</code><span> preconfigured WAF rules can block remote code execution attempts (</span><a href="https://docs.cloud.google.com/armor/docs/waf-rules#remote_code_execution_rce"><span>remote code execution reference</span></a><span>).</span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><pre class="language-plain"><code>evaluatePreconfiguredWaf('rce-v33-stable', {'sensitivity': 3})</code></pre>
<p><span><span>Figure 9: Cloud Armor rce-v33-stable WAF rule configuration</span></span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><p><span>Blocking the remote code execution request from the previous example results in a 403 forbidden:</span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><pre class="language-plain"><code>curl -X POST https://exampleabc01.com -H "Contencurl -X POST https://exampleabc01.com -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"input\": \"curl 'http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/token' -H 'Metadata-Flavor: Google'\"}"
&lt;!doctype html&gt;&lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name=viewport content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"&gt;&lt;title&gt;403&lt;/title&gt;403 Forbidden</code></pre>
<p><span><span>Figure 10: Verification of Cloud Armor blocking Remote Code execution, resulting in a 403 forbidden</span></span></p></div>
<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><h4><span>Serverless Architecture Controls</span></h4>
<p><span>Hardening Cloud Run services is only one part of a secure architecture. Because these services often connect to other Google Cloud resources, a single compromise can expose additional services. Implementing defense-in-depth is critical. Specifically, when using direct VPC egress or VPC Access connectors, use VPC Service Controls to restrict lateral movement and exfiltration through granular access policies.</span></p>
<h4><span>Secure Software Development Lifecycle (S-SDLC)</span></h4>
<p><span>While the previously outlined hardening strategies are critical, the ideal standard remains the proactive identification of vulnerabilities during the initial development stages. A deep dive into "Shift-Left" security is beyond the scope of this analysis, which focuses on mitigating risks within existing code. However, a Secure Software Development Lifecycle (S-SDLC) remains a fundamental principle. Robust code validation and continuous security testing are essential to neutralize threats before serverless functions are published externally.</span></p>
<h4><span>Cloud Run Threat Detection</span></h4>
<p><span>Beyond the hardening recommendations outlined in this post, </span><a href="https://cloud.google.com/security/products/security-command-center"><span>Google Cloud Security Command Center (SCC)</span></a><span> provides built-in services to detect control plane attacks against Cloud Run resources. These include detectors for credential access, reconnaissance, and the execution of scripts or reverse shells. The </span><a href="https://docs.cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs/cloud-run-threat-detection-overview"><span>Cloud Run Threat Detection</span></a><span> service is available for Premium and Enterprise tiers.</span></p>
<h3><span>Conclusion</span></h3>
<p><span>Serverless applications drive agility and rapid business value. While "vibe-coding" has made it easier than ever to deploy code, this breakneck speed demands that teams integrate security early in the development lifecycle, move beyond default configurations, and prioritize a defense-in-depth strategy centered on identity and architecture. </span></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Widgets, widgets, widgets. Has there ever been an Android feature so full of promise that went unloved by Google for so very long?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Okay, so maybe there has been — erm, <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1714997/android-features-faded.html">lots of times</a>, actually. But even so, Android’s widgets system is a perfect example of an exceptional advantage that Google basically buried, abandoned, and left on the brink of extinction up until its overdue revival in 2021’s <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1616489/24-advanced-tips-for-android-12.html">Android 12 update</a>. (And that revival, by the way, happened for no apparent reason whatsoever. Just a totally random, unprompted change of heart after a decade of indifference. <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1639159/android-missed-opportunity.html">Riiiiiiiiight</a>.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google may have given up on widgets for a while, but the good news is that (a) they’re back, baby — still now, more than ever, even in <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4136922/google-gemini-3-years.html">our overly AI-obsessed 2026 timeline</a> — and (b) the Android developer community keeps chuggin’ along and coming up with ever-more creative new ways to embrace widgets beyond what Google itself sees fit to give us. That means no matter what <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1714347/android-versions-a-living-history-from-1-0-to-today.html">Android version</a> your favorite phone is running, you can step up your own Android widget game and give yourself some fresh and fruitful paths to make the most of your phone’s framework.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here, my dear, are some fantastic beyond-the-basics ways to put <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1699499/best-android-widgets-for-busy-professionals.html">your favorite Android widgets</a> to use and change the way you get stuff done on your phone. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Android widget enhancement #1: The on-demand home screen pop-up</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Widgets are a wonderful way to interact with all sorts of info without ever having to open up apps, but having too many widgets can quickly lead to a cluttered and overwhelming home screen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, here’s a neat way to give yourself the benefit of a widget while still maintaining a neat and minimal space for working: An excellent app called <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.popupWidget" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Popup Widget</a> lets you create an on-demand pop-up widget (get it?!) that looks like a regular ol’ icon on your home screen but then loads any widget you want when tapped.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">See?</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/android-widgets-popup-widget-1.webp" alt="Android widgets: Popup Widget (1)" class="wp-image-4196884" width="800" height="835" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Any widget, anytime — with Popup Widget on Android.</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">JR Raphael, Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can even get <em>really</em> wild and set up a single icon that opens <em>multiple</em> widgets at the same time — like your inbox and your calendar together:</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/android-widgets-popup-widget-2.webp" alt="Android widgets: Popup Widget (2)" class="wp-image-4196885" width="800" height="837" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Popup Widget can even let you summon two widgets together with a single tap.</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">JR Raphael, Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not bad, right?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Popup Widget costs two bucks and doesn’t require any special permissions or manners of access. And it’s pretty simple and self-explanatory to set up: Once you install and open the app, it’ll walk you through adding in whatever pop-up widgets you want. You can choose the name and even the icon associated with each one along with its precise placement on your screen and how much the screen behind it should dim when it’s loaded.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The app will offer to add the shortcut directly onto your home screen for you then, or you can also find all of your Popup Widget creations by pressing and holding the main Popup Widget icon in your app drawer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alternatively, if you’re already using <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1723954/android-launchers-for-enhanced-efficiency.html">a custom Android launcher</a> like <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerfree&amp;hl=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Smart Launcher</a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bitpit.launcher" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Niagara</a>, you can find similar options for summoning widgets on demand within their settings — no separate apps even required.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that, my widget-loving wallaby, is but our first winning widget possibility.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Android widget enhancement #2: The on-demand universal pop-up</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you like the idea of having a widget on demand but would rather have it be available to summon from <em>anywhere</em> instead of just from your home screen, this next wacky widget option is just the thing for you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It comes from a spectacular app called <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Edge Gestures</a>, which works in conjunction with Popup Widget to take that same concept and make it universally accessible. (I told ya it was wacky!)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you first install Edge Gestures, the app will prompt you to enable it as a system accessibility service and to grant it the ability to display over other apps. These permissions sound scary — and <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1613704/android-security-warning.html">they should</a>! — but in the case of this specific utility, they’re absolutely appropriate and necessary in order for it to operate. The former is the only way an app is able to create a custom system-wide gesture, which we need for this setup to work its magic, and the latter is how your widget is able to be shown on top of whatever else you’re doing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(If you’re at all worried, note that Edge Gestures doesn’t request any other significant system permissions. Beyond that, it’s reputable, it’s been around for quite a long while, and it has a large number of overwhelmingly positive reviews.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Where were we? Oh, right: Once you’re inside the Edge Gestures configuration area, you’ll be able to select exactly what gesture you want to use for pulling up your widget. I’d think carefully about finding something that won’t interfere with anything else, like the system-level <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1658581/android-gestures.html">Android gestures</a>, and that’ll be convenient to access without being a command you’re likely to trigger by mistake.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, for instance, you might make the gesture a simple swipe downward along the left side of your screen. To do that, you’d find the “Swipe down” option within the app’s “Left” tab, and you’d set it to “Popup Widget” — and then create or select whatever Popup Widget item you want. And remember: You can select one widget or <em>multiple</em> widgets, too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Prepare yourself for some serious oohing and ahhing:</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/android-widgets-edge-gestures.webp" alt="Android widgets: Edge Gestures" class="wp-image-4196887" width="800" height="855" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Your favorite widgets are never more than a swipe away with Edge Gestures on Android.</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">JR Raphael, Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you can see, this opens up a whole new world of mobile multitasking potential. I mean, really: How could you <em>not</em> love that?!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The final thing worth doing is going into all the <em>other</em> gesture options in that same configuration area and tapping “Clear” for each of ’em to get rid of Edge Gestures’ default actions. I’d also go into whichever side of the screen you <em>aren’t</em> using — left or right — and tap the toggle to turn the gestures for that side off entirely. That way, you won’t inadvertently activate any gestures that you don’t actually want or need.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Edge Gestures costs $2 to use.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Android widget enhancement #3: The physical key call</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, here’s an interesting twist on that same on-demand Android widget idea: You can make any widget especially easy to access from anywhere without even having to mess around with any on-screen swiping by setting one of your phone’s <em>physical keys</em> as a trigger for the widget’s appearance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ll give you a second to catch your breath and process the sheer splendor of that sorcery.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Back? Cool. So, the <em>key</em> to this feat (har har) is the combination of the aforementioned Popup Widget and a handy Android contraption called <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.sds100.keymapper&amp;hl=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Key Mapper</a> — which makes it easy to map your phone’s physical keys to all kinds of crazy custom actions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this case, we’ll set it up so that pressing and <em>holding</em> one of your volume keys causes whatever widget you want to be summoned, like so:</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/floating-android-widget.webp" alt="Floating Android widget" class="wp-image-2144001" width="700" height="722" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Yes, your volume key can cause a widget to appear (whoa!).</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">JR Raphael, Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pretty nifty, no?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve got step-by-step instructions for making this happen in <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/2143971/android-widgets-floating.html">this separate guide</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Android widget enhancement #4: The floating bubble</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you like the notion of having a widget always available but aren’t so keen on the hidden gesture concept, an app called <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.applay.overlay" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Overlays</a> will let you create a small floating bubble that you can position anywhere on your screen and then tap to pull any widget up when you want it — just like with <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4185786/google-pixel-android-17.html#:~:text=Android%2017%20Pixel%20feature%20%231%3A%20Bubbles%20multitasking%20magic">Android’s recently revived Bubbles multitasking system</a>, only compatible with <em>any</em> Android device and version and with the simplicity of a widget instead of the complexity of an entire app.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Check it out:</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/android-widgets-overlays.webp" alt="Android widgets: Overlays" class="wp-image-4196886" width="800" height="852" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Overlays puts a floating icon on your screen for easy ongoing widget access.</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">JR Raphael, Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By default, Overlays gives you a bunch of its <em>own</em> little widgets to choose from, but the real power comes from adding in widgets from the Android apps you actually rely on. To do that, tap the “Triggers” tab at the bottom of the Overlays configuration area, then tap the red plus button in the lower-right corner of the screen. Select “Manual,” then type in whatever name you want for your widget and tap the icon to pick any icon you like.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tap “Save,” then select “Widget” and find the widget you want from the list. At that point, you’ll see a preview of the widget. Move or resize it if you like, then hit the arrow in the upper-left corner of the screen to exit out of that interface. Last but not least, tap the name of your newly made widget on the screen that comes up next to change its status to “Always on.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As soon as you head out of the app and back to your home screen, your fancy new widget should pop right up. All you’ve gotta do is tap the little downward-facing arrow in its corner to minimize it down to a bubble, which you can then press and hold to move anywhere your widget-worshipping heart desires.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overlays can also create widgets that automatically appear based on <em>context</em> — so you could have something show up every time you connect to a certain Bluetooth device or Wi-Fi network, for instance. To explore those options, just follow the same steps from above but pick “Event” instead of “Manual” when you reach the “Triggers” tab configuration.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overlays is free with an optional $4 in-app upgrade that removes some ads from the configuration tool and unlocks a handful of advanced features.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Android widget enhancement #5: The widget stack</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Last but not least in our collection of wacky Android widget possibilities is one of my favorite widget wonders — and that’s the ability to stack <em>multiple</em> widgets and then swipe between ’em on your home screen without having ’em take up any extra space.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Check it out:</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/android-widgets-smart-launcher-stacked-widgets.webp" alt="Android widgets: Smart Launcher stacked widgets" class="wp-image-4196888" width="800" height="893" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The space-saving simplicity of stacked widgets, as seen in Smart Launcher.</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">JR Raphael, Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This enhancement presents a bit of a choose-your-own-adventure-style path:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First, if you’re using a reasonably recent Samsung Galaxy gizmo, the option is should already be present and available in your standard Samsung home screen setup. Just press and hold any open space on your home screen and then select the option to add a widget — then, once the widget is added, press and hold it and look for the “Create stack” command.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With any other Android gadget — or even with a Samsung device, if you want extra options and flexibility — you can use a <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1723954/android-launchers-for-enhanced-efficiency.html">custom Android launcher</a> like the aforementioned <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerfree&amp;hl=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Smart Launcher</a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bitpit.launcher" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Niagara</a> as well as the retro-geeky T9-themed <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.loitran.minimalt9launcher.free" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Key Launcher</a> I <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4180222/retro-android-home-screen.html">introduced to you</a> earlier this summer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those launchers replace your phone’s entire home screen environment and give you all sorts of interesting new possibilities for optimizing your interface and making it especially well-suited for <em>you</em>. And the stacked widget feature is just one small sliver of what they offer and how they’ll transform your Android experience.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When people hear the term <em>artificial intelligence</em>, they usually think of chatbots or data analysis. But at BMW’s Spartanburg plant in the US, AI is now getting hands, legs, and eyes. Under the term <em>physical AI</em>, the automaker is integrating the new humanoid AI robt Figure 03 into its production logistics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The move comes as no surprise: For almost a year, <a href="https://www.cio.de/article/3699238/bmw-testet-naechste-generation-humanoider-roboter.html?utm=hybrid_search">BMW had the predecessor (Figure 02)</a> welding body parts for more than 30,000 vehicles. The conclusion of this practical test: The machines can precisely perform monotonous, heavy tasks. Now the technology is leaving the testing phase and moving to where things get highly complex: logistics.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The task: Transform chaos into order</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While its predecessor simply lifted sheets of metal, the further enhanced Figure 03 has to solve cognitive and tactile tasks. In logistics, it picks unsorted components from large boxes and sorts them into carts in the exact required order. Automated transport systems then take over, carrying them to the assembly line.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To achieve this, the manufacturer has upgraded Figure AI. The new robot has:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Cameras and tactile sensors directly in the palms of the hands for greater sensitivity</li>



<li>Audio functions for true speech-to-speech communication in the factory hall</li>



<li>Wireless charging for continuous, autonomous operation</li>



<li>Softer components to increase safety for human colleagues</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At first glance, a humanoid robot might seem like a project solely for the production manager. That’s a misconception. This use case is relevant for everyone, and is highly relevant for CIOs. Figure 03 is ultimately nothing other than a highly complex, mobile edge client that has to process large amounts of data (video, audio, sensor data) locally and in real-time.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/BMW-humanoider-Roboter-Figure-03_.png?w=1024" alt="BMW, humanoider Roboter Figure 03, Spartanburg" class="wp-image-4190512" width="1024" height="576" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">These advanced robots, equipped with new capabilities, are taking on new tasks.</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">BMW AG</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BMW is demonstrating in Spartanburg that such a robot works, but only in a fully digitized ecosystem like an automotive plant. This means that the IT department is the enabler for the production environment of the future.</p>



<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Virtual twins:</strong> Even before the first robot touches a box, BMW simulates Hall 52 and all movement sequences in a 3D “Virtual Factory.” IT provides the planning basis.</li>



<li><strong>AI Quality Control (AIQX):</strong> Error detection is performed using cameras and microphones along the production line. The algorithms perform visual and audible checks and send the feedback directly to the smart devices of human colleagues.</li>



<li><strong>Infrastructure scaling:</strong> When robots communicate via voice, charge wirelessly, and interact with autonomous transporters, the WLAN, 5G, and network backbone in the factory must have low latency and be fail-safe.</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the one hand, the humanoid robot relieves BMW factory workers of physically demanding work; on the other hand, it forces the IT department to merge traditional IT infrastructure and factory technology (OT). “Physical AI” has thus arrived in everyday industrial practice.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Passkeys have been around for some time, but enterprise-wide adoption to this point has been slow for a number of reasons. But soon, many Microsoft customers won’t have a choice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Starting September 1, Microsoft will roll out passkeys as the default authentication method in its cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) service Entra ID. And following a transition period, Microsoft-provided SMS and voice authentication will officially end on February 1, 2027.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With this move, Microsoft seems to be underlining the urgent need for a more secure authentication standard, as attackers up their game with AI.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is an “important milestone,” because it moves passwordless authentication from an optional security enhancement to the expected standard, noted <a href="https://www.sans.org/profiles/ensar-seker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ensar Seker</a>, CISO at SOCRadar. “That shift is significant as attackers increasingly rely on AI to automate phishing campaigns, generate convincing login pages, and conduct large-scale credential theft.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Microsoft’s six-month passkey roll-out</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4009132/passkeys-how-they-work-how-to-use-them.html" target="_blank">Passkeys</a> require users to authenticate via a fingerprint, facial scan, or lock screen mechanism, rather than a password. They can be stored on physical USB keys (like YubiKey), or as digital credentials on computers, phones, or in cloud accounts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This method, Microsoft contended, reduces reliance on phishable authentication tools like SMS and voice, and hardens protection against credential theft.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Passkeys “work better for users and worse for cyberattackers,” <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadim-abdo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nadim Abdo</a>, Microsoft corporate VP for identity and network access engineering, wrote in a <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2026/07/13/microsoft-entra-id-security-updates-passkeys-are-the-default-authentication-method-in-entra-id/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blog post</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft’s announced timeline for rolling out passkeys is relatively aggressive:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>September 1, 2026</strong>: All SMS or voice-enabled users will be “auto-enabled and nudged” to register a passkey upon multifactor authentication (MFA) sign-in.</li>



<li><strong>September 18, 2026</strong>: Pricing, commercial terms, and a list of supported telecom providers will be shared for scenarios that still require SMS or voice authentication due to regulation or technical or operational challenges.</li>



<li><strong>October 30, 2026</strong>: Enterprises still using SMS and voice must select and configure a supported telecom provider through the Microsoft Security Store. From then on, they will be responsible for any telecom-related costs.</li>



<li><strong>February 1, 2027</strong>: Microsoft-provided telecom delivery for SMS and voice authentication ends as a native Microsoft Entra capability.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After February 1, enterprises that require SMS or voice for MFA must register a passkey before sign-in. There will be no opt-out option.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s important to note that these dates apply to public cloud-hosted Entra ID. Support for other cloud environments will follow a separate timeline; additional guidance and dates are to come.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While SMS and voice have served their purpose well, Abdo said, bringing MFA to billions of users who otherwise would have had none, the threat environment has changed in “speed, scale, and sophistication,” necessitating this move to passkeys.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The benefits of passkeys</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SOCRadar’s Seker pointed out that passkeys fundamentally change the attack surface because, unlike with passwords, there is no transmission of shared secrets that can be stolen by threat actors. Authentication requires possession of the user’s device, along with biometric verification or a PIN.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Even highly convincing AI-generated phishing pages cannot simply trick users into handing over a passkey the way they can with passwords or one-time codes,” he said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So why haven’t we seen widespread enterprise adoption? Identity ecosystems are “fragmented,” Seker noted, and many enterprises still rely on legacy applications that only support passwords. They also struggle with cross-platform compatibility, lifecycle management, recovery processes, shared accounts, and employee onboarding and offboarding.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Further, “until recently, many organizations viewed passkeys as a consumer technology rather than an enterprise identity strategy,” he said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft’s move changes that equation, because Entra sits at the center of many organizations’ identity infrastructure, Seker noted. Default settings are typically the strongest drivers of security adoption, so when passwordless authentication becomes required rather than optional, organizations are far more likely to deploy it at scale.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Its biggest benefit would be a “dramatic reduction” in credential-based attacks, Seker said. He pointed out that most successful compromises still begin with stolen credentials obtained through phishing, infostealer malware, password reuse, or adversary-in-the-middle attacks. Passkeys “eliminate or significantly reduce” many of those attack paths, while reducing password fatigue and the help desk costs related to password resets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition, rather than trying to continuously improve users’ ability to detect increasingly sophisticated phishing attempts, passkeys remove the credential from the equation altogether, Seker noted. “That represents a more sustainable long-term security strategy than relying solely on user awareness training.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Still, passkeys are not a silver bullet, as they do not stop endpoint compromise, session token theft, malicious insiders, or attackers who already have control of a trusted device. Enterprises must complement passkeys with endpoint protection, continuous monitoring, conditional access policies, and identity threat detection, Seker advised.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How enterprises can prepare</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To prepare for the shift to passkeys, Microsoft advised enterprises to review their authentication policy and identify the groups still using SMS or voice authentication. They should then select the best authentication method for user devices and workflows, and ensure all employees are given passkeys and security keys.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Entra ID supports both synced passkeys (those stored in platform credential managers like iCloud Keychain and Google Password Manager), and device-bound passkeys such as Microsoft Authenticator passkeys, Entra passkey on Windows, or FIDO2 security keys.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Seker advised enterprises to evaluate support for FIDO2 and passkeys across their identity infrastructure, and to develop clear enrollment and recovery procedures. They should also educate users on what’s changing, how passkeys work, and how they can complete registration. Further, Seker said, it’s important to establish secure device management practices and to continue enforcing least privilege, conditional access, and risk-based authentication policies throughout the transition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultimately, he pointed out, the move is crucial. “Over the next several years, organizations that continue relying primarily on passwords will likely face higher operational risk as AI continues to lower the cost and increase the effectiveness of credential-based attacks,” he said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Passkeys “work better for users and worse for cyberattackers,” <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadim-abdo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nadim Abdo</a>, Microsoft corporate VP for identity and network access engineering, wrote in a <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2026/07/13/microsoft-entra-id-security-updates-passkeys-are-the-default-authentication-method-in-entra-id/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blog post</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft’s announced timeline for rolling out passkeys is relatively aggressive:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>September 1, 2026</strong>: All SMS or voice-enabled users will be “auto-enabled and nudged” to register a passkey upon multifactor authentication (MFA) sign-in.</li>



<li><strong>September 18, 2026</strong>: Pricing, commercial terms, and a list of supported telecom providers will be shared for scenarios that still require SMS or voice authentication due to regulation or technical or operational challenges.</li>



<li><strong>October 30, 2026</strong>: Enterprises still using SMS and voice must select and configure a supported telecom provider through the Microsoft Security Store. From then on, they will be responsible for any telecom-related costs.</li>



<li><strong>February 1, 2027</strong>: Microsoft-provided telecom delivery for SMS and voice authentication ends as a native Microsoft Entra capability.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After February 1, enterprises that require SMS or voice for MFA must register a passkey before sign-in. There will be no opt-out option.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s important to note that these dates apply to public cloud-hosted Entra ID. Support for other cloud environments will follow a separate timeline; additional guidance and dates are to come.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While SMS and voice have served their purpose well, Abdo said, bringing MFA to billions of users who otherwise would have had none, the threat environment has changed in “speed, scale, and sophistication,” necessitating this move to passkeys.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The benefits of passkeys</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SOCRadar’s Seker pointed out that passkeys fundamentally change the attack surface because, unlike with passwords, there is no transmission of shared secrets that can be stolen by threat actors. Authentication requires possession of the user’s device, along with biometric verification or a PIN.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Even highly convincing AI-generated phishing pages cannot simply trick users into handing over a passkey the way they can with passwords or one-time codes,” he said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So why haven’t we seen widespread enterprise adoption? Identity ecosystems are “fragmented,” Seker noted, and many enterprises still rely on legacy applications that only support passwords. They also struggle with cross-platform compatibility, lifecycle management, recovery processes, shared accounts, and employee onboarding and offboarding.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Further, “until recently, many organizations viewed passkeys as a consumer technology rather than an enterprise identity strategy,” he said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft’s move changes that equation, because Entra sits at the center of many organizations’ identity infrastructure, Seker noted. Default settings are typically the strongest drivers of security adoption, so when passwordless authentication becomes required rather than optional, organizations are far more likely to deploy it at scale.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Its biggest benefit would be a “dramatic reduction” in credential-based attacks, Seker said. He pointed out that most successful compromises still begin with stolen credentials obtained through phishing, infostealer malware, password reuse, or adversary-in-the-middle attacks. Passkeys “eliminate or significantly reduce” many of those attack paths, while reducing password fatigue and the help desk costs related to password resets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition, rather than trying to continuously improve users’ ability to detect increasingly sophisticated phishing attempts, passkeys remove the credential from the equation altogether, Seker noted. “That represents a more sustainable long-term security strategy than relying solely on user awareness training.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Still, passkeys are not a silver bullet, as they do not stop endpoint compromise, session token theft, malicious insiders, or attackers who already have control of a trusted device. Enterprises must complement passkeys with endpoint protection, continuous monitoring, conditional access policies, and identity threat detection, Seker advised.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How enterprises can prepare</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To prepare for the shift to passkeys, Microsoft advised enterprises to review their authentication policy and identify the groups still using SMS or voice authentication. They should then select the best authentication method for user devices and workflows, and ensure all employees are given passkeys and security keys.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Entra ID supports both synced passkeys (those stored in platform credential managers like iCloud Keychain and Google Password Manager), and device-bound passkeys such as Microsoft Authenticator passkeys, Entra passkey on Windows, or FIDO2 security keys.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Seker advised enterprises to evaluate support for FIDO2 and passkeys across their identity infrastructure, and to develop clear enrollment and recovery procedures. They should also educate users on what’s changing, how passkeys work, and how they can complete registration. Further, Seker said, it’s important to establish secure device management practices and to continue enforcing least privilege, conditional access, and risk-based authentication policies throughout the transition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultimately, he pointed out, the move is crucial. “Over the next several years, organizations that continue relying primarily on passwords will likely face higher operational risk as AI continues to lower the cost and increase the effectiveness of credential-based attacks,” he said.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Microsoft is publishing 622 vulnerabilities on </span><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/releaseNote/2026-Jul"><span>July 2026 Patch Tuesday</span></a><span>, including a record-breaking 416 Windows vulnerabilities. Microsoft is aware of exploitation in the wild for two of the vulnerabilities published today, both of which are listed on CISA KEV, as well as public disclosure for one other. As usual, browser vulns are not included in the Patch Tuesday count above. Rapid7 </span><a href="https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/em-patch-tuesday-june-2026/"><span>noted</span></a><span> last month that Microsoft no longer enumerates Chromium CVEs in the Security Update Guide. However, Microsoft has now taken the pursuit of minimalism much further, since today’s Security Update Guide no longer lists out even Microsoft vulnerabilities! Instead, we now receive a summary table of vulnerability counts by product family, as well as a new slimline “Notable CVEs” section. All of this only serves to illustrate the recent industry-wide trend of exploding vulnerability report counts, with an associated uptick in the publication of remediations as a trailing indicator.</span></p><h3><span>SharePoint: critical auth bypass by Rapid7</span></h3><p><span>Today sees the publication of </span><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2026-55040"><span>CVE-2026-55040</span></a><span>, a critical authentication bypass in Microsoft SharePoint. </span><a href="https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/ve-cve-2026-55040-microsoft-sharepoint-jwt-token-authentication-bypass-fixed/"><span>Discovered by Rapid7 Senior Principal Security Researcher Stephen Fewer</span></a><span>, and published today in coordination with Microsoft, this vulnerability is the first in a pair of exploits which, when chained together, can lead to unauthenticated remote code execution against a vulnerable SharePoint server. Patches are available for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, 2019, and 2016. As the full </span><a href="https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/ve-cve-2026-55040-microsoft-sharepoint-jwt-token-authentication-bypass-fixed/"><span>Rapid7 blog post</span></a><span> sets out, the second vulnerability in the full RCE chain remains embargoed for now, with Microsoft expected to publish patches for that second vulnerability as part of Patch Tuesday August 2026. Microsoft noted: “We would like to thank Rapid7 for responsibly reporting this issue through coordinated vulnerability disclosure.”</span></p><h3><span>SharePoint: zero-day EoP</span></h3><p><span>It’s a rare Patch Tuesday which doesn’t include multiple SharePoint fixes, and today is no exception. Microsoft is aware of existing in-the-wild exploitation of </span><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56164"><span>CVE-2026-56164</span></a><span>, where successful exploitation allows an attacker to elevate privileges over a network, with no existing privileges required, and low attack complexity since “an attacker does not require significant prior knowledge of the system, and can achieve repeatable success”. This is as good an example as any that a relatively low CVSS v3 base score (5.3) may be an imperfect signal concealing something much spicier, and Microsoft acknowledges that possibility by assigning a severity rating of Important. Microsoft certainly intended to list CVE-2026-56164 in the new Notable CVEs section of the Security Update Guide instead of erroneously listing CVE-2026-56155 twice, and it’s likely that this will be corrected shortly.</span></p><h3><span>What’s the opposite of coordinated disclosure?</span></h3><p><span>After years of relative stability, the Patch Tuesday process has experienced significant turbulence so far in 2026. As well as the AI-fuelled exponential growth of vulnerability reporting and discovery, Microsoft is grappling with the emergence of a series of vulnerabilities disclosed in such a way as to </span><a href="https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/em-patch-tuesday-june-2026/#what-s-the-opposite-of-coordinated-disclosure"><span>bring maximum discomfort for Redmond</span></a><span>. Pseudonymous researcher Nightmare Eclipse dropped another Defender elevation of privilege vulnerability in the hours following Patch Tuesday June 2026, which Microsoft subsequently published and patched as </span><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50656"><span>CVE-2026-50656</span></a><span>, along with a terse acknowledgement of the vulnerability’s celebrity nickname of RoguePlanet. Recently, Nightmare Eclipse has given conflicting estimates of what sort of surprises Microsoft can expect today, as well as claiming that the CVE-2026-50656 patches introduce a new avenue for a disk exhaustion attack. Today,  a new proof of concept for a further vulnerability nicknamed LegacyHive has emerged from the same source, which appears to allow a non-privileged user to mount another user’s user hive.</span></p><p><span>Microsoft BitLocker receives patches today for a publicly-known security feature bypass vulnerability. The advisory for </span><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50661"><span>CVE-2026-50661</span></a><span> explains that an unauthorized attacker with physical access to the target machine can bypass Windows BitLocker. While Microsoft doesn’t confirm either way, it’s very probable that this is a patch for the GreatXML vulnerability which Nightmare Eclipse announced the day after Patch Tuesday June 2026.</span></p><h3><span>Active Directory Federation Services: zero-day EoP</span></h3><p><span>Active Directory administrators should note the emergence today of </span><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56155"><span>CVE-2026-56155</span></a><span>, an exploited-in-the-wild elevation of privilege vulnerability in Active Directory Federation Services which allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. Eight other vulnerabilities are also published today in Active Directory Federation Services, all ranked as Important on Microsoft’s proprietary severity ranking scale. The advisory doesn’t explicitly describe the location of the attacker, but it’s likely that an attacker would need an existing toehold on the target system to chain together with the elevation of privilege opportunity on offer here.</span></p><h3><span>Age of Empires II: RCE</span></h3><p><span>Historically, Patch Tuesday hasn’t seen too many security patches for video games. However, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is a new entrant to the Microsoft CVE roster today. Veteran AoE2 players may well be familiar with dangerous opposition early game strategies such as the Persian Town Center nuisance or the Aztec monk rush, but anyone who opens a malicious game scenario file without applying the patch for </span><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50663"><span>CVE-2026-50663</span></a><span> might suffer a serious defeat. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to place malicious files in unexpected locations, potentially enabling code execution on the target system.</span></p><h3><span>Microsoft lifecycle update</span></h3><p><span>As Rapid7 noted last month, there are some significant Microsoft product lifecycle changes taking place in mid-July. </span><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/sql-server-2016?branch=live"><span>SQL Server 2016</span></a><span> moves beyond regular extended support and into the pay-to-play Extended Security Updates (ESU) phase from July 15, 2026, and its older sibling </span><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/sql-server-2014"><span>SQL Server 2014</span></a><span> moves into the third and final year of ESU. Also on July 14, 2026, SharePoint Server </span><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/sharepoint-server-2016?branch=live"><span>2016</span></a><span> and </span><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/sharepoint-server-2019?branch=live"><span>2019</span></a><span> reach extended end date, and since there’s no ESU available, the only remaining option for fully-supported self-hosted SharePoint after today is SharePoint Subscription Edition. The July 2026 lifecycle casualties continue with Project Server </span><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/project-server-2016"><span>2016</span></a><span> and </span><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/project-server-2019"><span>2019</span></a><span>, Dynamics GP 2016 and 2016 R2, InfoPath 2013, and SharePoint Designer 2013, which also all reach their Extended End Dates, ending their supported lifecycles. </span><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/visual-studio-2022"><span>Visual Studio 2022</span></a><span> Version 17.12 Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) reaches its release end date on July 14, leaving either the Visual Studio 2022 current channel or an upgrade to </span><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/visual-studio-2026"><span>Visual Studio 2026</span></a><span> as supported options.</span></p><h2>Summary charts</h2><figure><img

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Europe is sweltering. The summer of 2026 has seen historic heat waves that have taken a significant toll on infrastructure. In recent weeks, across the continent, problems have <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj0gez6d50ro" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">been reported</a> in the power grid, telecommunications, and rail transportation. IT infrastructure has not been spared from the situation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The heat affects equipment long before anyone notices a problem,” explains Ricardo Román, sales director at Fracttal, in an email. “Every piece of equipment has a temperature range within which it is designed to operate, and when it operates above that range, it begins to degrade silently,” he says. A process of wear and tear begins that will eventually take its toll. With technology, this happens much faster. “In a data center, this effect is amplified because there’s no margin for error,” he notes. When something starts to fail, everything grinds to a halt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In fact, this latest heat wave has already had negative impacts on data centers outside of Spain. In the United Kingdom, high temperatures shut down hospital data centers and <a href="https://www.lavanguardia.com/neo/ia/20260707/11586247/ola-calor-deja-fuera-combate-mayores-superordenadores-ia-1-000-hervidores-agua-funcionando-vez.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">caused</a> the University of Cambridge’s Dawn supercomputer to go offline, as its cooling systems were unable to cope with the temperatures. That’s the crux of the problem. “In IT, heat isn’t a computing problem—it’s a problem of maintaining the assets that support the data center,” explains Román. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Heat thus becomes yet another risk for the IT industry and, in particular, for data centers. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Temperatures are a clear and growing concern when it comes to corporate risk prevention. “I see it in conversations with clients: In the past, the maintenance team was the one monitoring the temperature in a technical room,” Román says. “Today, management also monitors it, because they know that if that goes down, the service goes down—and behind the service is the end customer,” he adds. Maintenance has gone from being a cost “to a lever for business continuity that no one dares to touch.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a World Economic Forum analysis warns, we’re experiencing a boom in AI-driven <a href="https://www.computerworld.es/article/4166490/especial-centros-de-datos-2026.html">data centers</a>, but the impact of climate risks on them is being overlooked. Their estimates <a href="https://www.weforum.org/stories/climate-action/data-centres-3-3-trillion-question-heat-cooling/">suggest</a> these risks could result in an additional annual cost of $81 billion by 2035 and $168 billion by 2065. These calculations include all kinds of threats, such as floods or droughts, but most of the impact comes from extreme heat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These projections are confirmed by data from the industry itself: Over the past three years, extreme weather events <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/29/ai-data-centers-heatwave-climate-risk-weather.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">have accounted for</a> one-third of the losses incurred by the U.S. division of the data center company Zurich. According to projections by the climate risk analysis firm First Street, 79% of global data centers will face increased risks from extreme weather. MapleCroft estimated in 2025 that 56% of major data centers had a high or very high risk rating for extreme heat, and that <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4041210/las-olas-de-calor-pueden-poner-en-jaque-a-los-centros-de-datos.html" target="_blank">this figure would rise to 80% by 2080</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These percentages cannot be easily extrapolated to Europe in general—and to Spain in particular—as one might think, although they do make the trend clear. Guillermo Benito, CTO of Nabiax, points out during a video call that these studies are based on global samples and thus place significant weight on the capacity of Asia and the United States. “We represent a small percentage there, but that said, all countries will have to adapt. The two major challenges for data centers are energy and cooling,” Benitonotes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spain: A pioneer in heat?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In late June, French Labor Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou <a href="https://www.france24.com/es/minuto-a-minuto/20260630-francia-quiere-estudiar-el-modelo-espa%C3%B1ol-para-adaptar-la-sociedad-al-calor-extremo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">proposed</a> taking a training course in Spain to learn how to prevent high temperatures from paralyzing a country. Although Spain’s climate varies by region, high summer temperatures are common in many areas (though climate change has made them more extreme and frequent in recent years), and the infrastructure of knowledge and solutions that Farandou wanted to learn about has been established. The big question is whether this also applies to data centers. Is Spain better prepared than other European regions?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Heat waves are becoming increasingly intense and frequent. What used to happen once every two years now happens two, three, or four times a year,” Benito says. Speaking from his own experience, he adds: “In Spain, data centers already take these factors into account.” When it comes to redundancy, monitoring, or maintenance, these factors are already factored in. “It’s not like it’s an unforeseen event. It’s already been taken into account, and we build in a lot of redundancy—a wide safety margin,” he says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The difference compared to central or northern Europe is that some haven’t considered this possibility. Benito points out that the same thing happens with homes. “For many years, they’ve been designing with two assumptions: that they have plenty of water because their climates are humid, and that it never gets hot,” he says. And this is a problem, because their summer temperatures have risen significantly during extreme heat waves. “Temperatures in the UK have gone up by 10 or 15 degrees, and their data centers aren’t prepared for that,” he says. In fact, he shares an anecdote about “a certain hyperscaler that, a few years ago, when its data centers in the United Kingdom went down, held a global conference to figure out how this had happened and draw lessons from it.” The curious thing is that what they learned was something that was already well known in Spain.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/ismail-enes-ayhan-lVZjvw-u9V8-unsplash.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="centro de datos" class="wp-image-4094600" width="1024" height="589" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">İsmail Enes Ayhan | Unsplash</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was already getting hot in southern Europe, and preparations were needed. Now, temperatures are becoming a topic of conversation outside the region, and climate change has made its way into IT strategy. Benito confirms that, yes, the conversation is more visible in global settings. “For several reasons. The first is because, obviously, it affects operations. Another is the market. Customers also demand that you address this.” Before, the focus was on power capacity and square meters. Now, the expert points out, people are asking where the electricity comes from and whether it’s clean, and they’re demanding emissions guarantees. The sector is making significant investments to become sustainable, he argues.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond consumption data and the improvements that can be made, the big question is whether these high temperatures are already impacting decision-making—whether decisions on where to locate data centers (or not) are already being made with heat in mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Industry representatives explain that while the climate can have an impact and is already taken into account when deciding where to locate a data center, it is not yet the sole factor or the most decisive one. In other words, many other factors must be considered, and these carry much more weight in the decision-making process. One such factor is energy, which is essential for these infrastructures and must be constant, resilient, and have a low carbon footprint. It is also an area where cooling plays a major role. As Román points out, cooling can account for between 30 and 40% of energy consumption, “and in poorly managed facilities, that figure approaches 50%.” Energy efficiency and cooling efficiency are thus essential—and not just for sustainability reasons. “It’s a matter of the bottom line.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another factor is space. As Benito says, you need “stable locations where you can grow.” This isn’t just about whether the infrastructure <em>fits</em>, but also about how it aligns with the needs of its customers. As this expert points out, the concentration of data centers near Madrid or Barcelona isn’t “just a whim,” but because you need to be close to large population centers to provide them with low latency. “Other supercomputing applications can be located farther away, and that’s already happening,” he explains, but generally speaking, you can’t just put data centers anywhere. You have to strike a balance between needs and available space.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"></blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to survive the heat</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, how can we survive the heat, especially when projections suggest that the future will bring even higher temperatures? The key is to understand that this is no longer a curiosity or an occasional incident. As Román points out, air-conditioning systems are running longer and longer. What worked 10 years ago will now barely suffice—it’s “pushed to its limits.” “Heat is shifting from being an August blip to a variable that must be monitored year-round. One you endure; the other you manage.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“By the time the room’s thermometer rises, it’s already too late. What you need to monitor isn’t the room—it’s the equipment—and you have to do it sooner,” he says. Román recommends a three-step strategy. First, don’t measure the environment; instead, measure the equipment and its variations in temperature, vibrations, and energy consumption. Next, take action on any deviations: Don’t wait for a failure, but instead act on early indicators that things aren’t normal. And finally, keep a comprehensive record of historical data, which will be key to anticipating issues and learning from them. “And here I’m going to be honest, because this is what I see every day: The technology to do all this already exists and isn’t expensive,” he asserts. “Many critical facilities are still managed using an Excel spreadsheet and the memory of a technician who’s been there for twenty years,” he warns. And that’s a problem.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the specific case of data centers, Spain has done its homework. The high temperatures (which exceeded those recorded in the United Kingdom, where some data centers did shut down) did not bring them to a halt during this heat wave.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unlike what might happen in other countries, Spain has optimized its cooling systems to be efficient and sustainable, as Benito explains, noting that the country must also contend with water stress. “In other countries, I can use water and let it evaporate as I please because I know it’s going to rain again—or at least that was the case until recently. In Spain, we’ve known for a long time that this isn’t the case,” he says. That’s why we work with closed-loop systems. “Most of us operators don’t use any water,” he says. The same water, mixed with certain cooling agents, circulates continuously. “Once the loop is filled, we don’t lose a single drop,” he asserts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What this expert is now seeing at international conferences is that in other countries where water wasn’t an apparent problem, people are starting to talk about working this way—”as a technical innovation.” “That’s where we say, ‘Yes, just like the ones we have in Spain or Portugal,’” he remarks with a touch of humor. “Water, like energy, is a challenge,” he says, so everything has already been designed with that in mind. It isn’t wasted, it doesn’t evaporate, and it isn’t consumed, he says.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">Well folks. Here we are. The bug apocalypse has fully descended upon us. I’ll do my best to sort this out in some way meaningful, but this month’s release shows us the nay-sayers were right, and I’ve got to hand it to the nay-sayers here. Excellent call. Take an extended break from your regularly scheduled activities as we let’s take a look at the latest security patches from Adobe and Microsoft. If you’d rather watch the full video recap covering the entire release, you can check out the Patch Report webcast on our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFSM_a8Jri75_5-NpydcFneOaTvr3vJE">YouTube</a> channel. It should be posted within a couple of hours after the release.</p><p class=""><strong>Adobe Patches for July 2026</strong></p><p class="">Adobe has now moved to a bimonthly release schedule, which means they will be releasing patches on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. I’ll continue to cover the second Tuesday release here and update this blog should the fourth Tuesday release contain anything significant. I think this is a smart way to break up a monster release into something a bit more manageable. Apple has said they are taking a similar approach. We’ll see if other vendors follow their lead.</p><p class="">For the first part of the July release, Adobe released 12 bulletins addressing 88 unique CVEs in Adobe ColdFusion, Commerce, After Effects, Animate, Audition, Bridge, Creative Cloud Desktop Application, Experience Manager, Illustrator, Media Encoder, Premiere Pro, and the Content Credentials SDK.</p><p class="">Here’s this month’s overview table:</p>

  <p class="">While nothing is under active exploit, I would prioritize the Cold Fusion and Commerce patches first. The patch for Cold Fusion even clocks in with a CVSS 9.9 bug. Beyond that, most of these updates are pretty straightforward. If you’re using these products, patch them. However, you can use you regular patch cadence here. </p><p class=""><strong>Microsoft Patches for July 2026</strong></p><p class="">Here it is. The Mother of All Releases. To call this record-breaking is an understatement. How to count this mess is anyone’s guess, but I see new Microsoft 621 CVEs for the month of July. Some of these are in online services where no user action is required. They also list about 480 bugs in Chromium and Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) that I won’t cover here. Here’s how I put this in context. I looked at the last 20 years of Microsoft releases. The CVE count year-to-date exceeds all other years’ totals.</p>

  <p class="">The products covered this month are also astonishing. There are patches for Windows and Windows components, Office and Office Components, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Azure, .NET and Visual Studio, Github Copilot, Defender, Exchange Server, Hyper-V, Ages of Empire II, and Minecraft Server (really!). That phrase “Windows components” does some pretty heavy lifting here, too, as just about everything you’ve ever heard of is getting patched. All told, there are 63 rated Critical, six rated Moderate, one rated Low, with the rest rated Important in severity. Eight of these bugs were submitted through the ZDI program (more on that later). Two CVEs are listed as under active exploit while one other is listed as publicly known.</p><p class="">So how do we eat this elephant? One byte at a time (pun intended). Let’s start by looking a closer look at some of the more interesting updates for this month, starting with the bugs being exploited in the wild.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56155"><strong>CVE-2026-56155</strong></a><strong> - Active Directory Federation Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>This is one of several AD FS being patched this month, but it’s the only one being actively exploited. It stems from insufficient access-control granularity and does require local access and low privileges to start, but AD FS is exactly the kind of identity infrastructure attackers love to pivot through once they're in. It can also be paired with an RCE as we often see in ransomware. Test and deploy this patch quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56154"><strong>CVE-2026-56164</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft SharePoint Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>The other bug being exploited in the wild this month is a modest CVSS 5.3 – but it shows why Moderate severity bugs still matter. It's a missing-authentication flaw, meaning an unauthenticated attacker can hit it over the network with no user interaction required. When something this reachable is being actively abused, patch it now and worry about the score later.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-57092"><strong>CVE-2026-57092</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Windows VMSwitch Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>This patch rates the highest CVSS score for the month: a solid 9.9. It’s a use-after-free that lets a low-privileged attacker escalate to full host compromise across a VM boundary. We saw something like this demonstrated at Pwn2Own Berlin on ESXi, but it clearly isn’t alone. If you’re using VMSwitch in your Hyper-V deployments (and you likely are), test and deploy this one quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50522"><strong>CVE-2026-50522</strong></a><strong>/</strong><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-58644"><strong>58644</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft SharePoint Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>This matching pair of CVSS 9.8 bugs results from the deserialization-of-untrusted-data and are reachable without authentication or user interaction. CVE-2026-50522 was demonstrated during <a href="https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2026/5/16/pwn2own-berlin-2026-day-three-results-and-master-of-pwn">Pwn2Own Berlin</a>, so it’s odd to see Microsoft list it as “Exploit Maturity Unknown” since we literally handed them a working exploit. Just another reason to do your own risk assessment and not rely 100% on the vendor. If you have any Internet accessible SharePoint servers, test and deploy this patch quickly. </p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56190"><strong>CVE-2026-56190</strong></a><strong> - Remote Desktop Protocol Remote Code Execution Vulnerability</strong><br> This patch covers an unauthenticated, network-reachable, no user interaction required bug. The root cause is a classic one: use of uninitialized resource (CWE-908), meaning specially crafted RDP traffic can interact with memory that was never properly initialized, letting an attacker corrupt memory and potentially steer code execution. RDP Servers are a common target, so audit your systems to see which are internet accessible and start from there. </p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-55008"><strong>CVE-2026-55008</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Exchange Server Spoofing Vulnerability<br></strong>Ignore the title here and treat this like the XSS bug it is. The vulnerability is listed as a CVSS 9.6 since it’s a stored cross-site scripting flaw in Outlook Web Access, with a scope-changed impact that lets it break out of the web app context entirely. An attacker sends a specially crafted email, and if the victim simply opens it in OWA, arbitrary JavaScript executes in their browser session — no attachment needed, no macro warning, just viewing the message does it. If you’re using OWA, test and deploy this one quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50518"><strong>CVE-2026-50518</strong></a><strong> - Windows DHCP Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>There are a couple of these DHCP RCE patches in this release, but the other has caveats while this one does not. Both are heap-based buffer overflows scoring CVSS 9.8, both unauthenticated and network-reachable. If you're running DHCP Server role on anything Internet-adjacent (you're not, right?), these move to the top of the list.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56188"><strong>CVE-2026-56188</strong></a><strong> - Windows Server Network driver Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>Another Critical-rated bug, this one is caused by a race condition. It’s always fun to see a TOCTOU bug rated this high, since race conditions are notoriously finicky to exploit reliably. While it may prove tricky to exploit, this bug could allow an attacker to execute privileged code over the network without user interaction. Don’t let the race condition lull you to sleep on a wormable bug.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-55010"><strong>CVE-2026-55010</strong></a><strong> - Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>File this in the “why not” category. This bug is a heap-based buffer overflow in Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server, also CVSS 9.8 and also unauthenticated RCE. Yes, your kid’s Minecraft server (it is your kid’s server, right?) is exposed to the same class of bug as your DHCP infrastructure. Patch it anyway.</p><p class="">Here’s the full list of CVEs released by Microsoft for July 2026:</p>

  <p class=""><em>** Indicates this CVEs has already been resolved by Microsoft, and no further action is needed by the end user.</em></p><p class=""><em> </em></p><p class=""><em> </em></p><p class="">I’ll do my best to summarize everything else in this release, but no promises. I’m only human after all.</p><p class=""> </p><p class="">Looking at the remaining Critical-rated patches, Office is its own weather system: fourteen Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Office RCEs clustered at CVSS 7.8, plus five Windows Media Foundation RCEs. Outside of the Preview Pane attack vector, they are individually unremarkable; collectively, patch Office and reboot. Always reboot. We’ve already mentioned DHCP some, but DHCP Server can't catch a break. Beyond the one already covered, add CVE-2026-56159, CVE-2026-48564, CVE-2026-50370, and DHCP Client cousin CVE-2026-54128. Five DHCP RCEs in one release. Rounding things out, Print Spooler (CVE-2026-58608), Windows TCP/IP (CVE-2026-54999), and a SQL Server RCE pair (CVE-2026-54117/54118) all receive patches, and all are rated a CVSS 8.8. VE-2026-55944 (Dynamics NAV/Business Central On-Prem RCE, 9.8) is the same deserialization flavor as the SharePoint pair; it’s unauthenticated, network-reachable, and easy to overlook since it's not SharePoint. CVE-2026-48561 (Microsoft Copilot RCE, 9.6) and CVE-2026-50380 (Windows GDI+ RCE, 9.6) round out the near-top tier. Don't forget CVE-2026-55040, a SharePoint Security Feature Bypass (9.1) — patch it in the same pass as the SharePoint RCE pair since it's the same product family. Identity and infrastructure get hit too: CVE-2026-54121 (AD Certificate Services EoP, 8.8) and CVE-2026-50444 (WSUS EoP, 8.8). The obscure Reliable Multicast Transport Driver (RMCAST) takes two RCEs (CVE-2026-54982, CVE-2026-54995), and CVE-2026-50474 gives Remote Desktop Client its own RCE, separate from the RDP one already covered. The rest is a long tail: Defender RCE x2, GDI+ again, Windows Media x2, Secure Kernel Mode EoP x2, and a second Hyper-V EoP. You can consider these “normal” as far as patch cadence goes.</p><p class="">That leaves us with 95 RCE to discuss. I would explain, but there is too much, so let me sum up. CVE-2026-55944 (Dynamics NAV/Business Central On-Prem, 9.8) is the same deserialization flavor as the SharePoint pair: unauthenticated, easy to miss since it's not SharePoint. CVE-2026-54990 (Remote Desktop Client), CVE-2026-49172 (Windows FTP Service), and CVE-2026-50447 (MSMQ) all hit 9.8 too, proof severity labels lag CVSS sometimes. CVE-2026-48561 (Copilot) and CVE-2026-50380 (GDI+) sit at 9.6.</p><p class="">The pattern worth watching: 14 Windows NTFS and 7 ReFS RCEs/ That makes 21 filesystem-driver bugs, an unusually large cluster suggesting a shared root cause. Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) contributes 21 more that are genuinely Microsoft's to patch, not Chromium re-listing noise. Remote Desktop Client racks up a second and third RCE (CVE-2026-50474, CVE-2026-58594), and Windows Admin Center picks up two (CVE-2026-56196/56197) — WAC exposure keeps creeping into these releases. Exchange Server (CVE-2026-55005) and AD Domain Services (CVE-2026-49178) both land at 8.8.</p><p class="">And because this release wouldn't be complete without it: CVE-2026-50663, an RCE in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. Yes, really. Patch your civilization anyway.</p><p class="">There are close to 260 EoP bugs in this month’s release. Microsoft could have just published the EoPs and still had a record-setting month. As usual, most simply lead to local attackers executing their code at SYSTEM-level privileges or administrative privileges, so there’s not much to add without further technical details about the bugs themselves. What’s really frustrating is that 94 have no explicit privilege statement at all. Microsoft just says “elevate privileges” with no detail. By my count, that leaves around 25 bugs to consider. Some don’t elevate at all. The FAQ literally says the attacker just gets “the rights of the user running the affected application.” That covers Win32k, Clip Service, Search Service, MSMQ, and SharePoint. A few get a Low-to-Medium integrity bump. There are also a couple that lead to downgraded service accounts or arbitrary file deletion, but nothing else I’ve seen really stands out too much.</p><p class="">There are 20 Security Feature Bypass (SFB) bugs this month, and it's a genuinely mixed bag. CVE-2026-55040 leads at Critical, CVSS 9.1 as it’s weak authentication in SharePoint Server. Patch it in the same pass as the SharePoint RCE pair since it's the same product. The AI-coding-tool trend continues: GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio all land SFB bugs, mostly injection or path-traversal flavored. BitLocker is this month's lone publicly disclosed bug. It’s not exploited yet, but public disclosure is a countdown clock, not a free pass. It requires physical access, as does the bug in Microsoft XML. The firmware/boot cluster is worth a second look: Secure Boot, Boot Loader, and Key Guard all touch the trust chain below the OS. Meaning, despite a low CVSS score, “if this fails, nothing above it can be trusted” stakes. Rounding out the SFB patches, there are two .NET SFBs, two Windows Kernel SFBs, and a DNS/Cryptographic Services bringing up the rear.</p><p class="">The July release includes 31Spoofing bugs this month, and we’ve already covered the most important (Exchange). SharePoint Server accounts for another ten with almost all the same root cause: stored XSS letting an authenticated attacker spoof content in the browser. Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) contributes fifteen more spanning access-control failures, SSRF, type confusion, and UI misrepresentation. All genuinely Microsoft's to patch, not re-listed Chromium noise. The remaining six round out the usual suspects: a Windows NAT spoofing bug reachable from an adjacent network, a Bing app flaw on iOS, a PowerBI Report Server XSS issue, a .NET output-encoding bug, and an AD FS spoofing flaw. None publicly disclosed, none exploited, but with SharePoint's history this year, don't let "just Spoofing" lull you into deprioritizing the patch cycle.</p><p class="">Of 111 Information Disclosure bugs, the overwhelming majority of these simply result in info leaks consisting of unspecified memory contents or memory addresses. GitHub Copilot is the standout. Here, the bug insufficiently protected credentials, meaning actual secrets leak, not memory scraps. The Windows Admin Center flaw discloses data via improper authentication. A management console leaking to an unauthorized party is a bigger deal than it sounds. SharePoint uses SSRF to pull data server-side, and the Event Logging Service is a protection-mechanism failure, not a memory bug at all. Edge picks up three genuinely file-system-flavored disclosures — improper authorization, files/directories accessible to external parties, and link-following — plus Edge for Android exposing “private personal information” twice and two path-traversal bugs. The remaining 40+ are mostly one-line “exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor” entries scattered across File Explorer, Push Notifications, Cryptographic Services, and Win32k.</p><p class="">Only 8 Tampering bugs this month, the smallest bucket, but a couple stand out. The top of the list is a WSUS bug, caused by an uncaught exception that lets an unauthenticated attacker tamper with the update service over the network. That’s your patch-management infrastructure itself being the target, which always deserves extra attention. Windows CNG (the crypto API) picks up a missing-cryptographic-step flaw, and Windows DNS Client shows up three separate times across the list, twice for improper access control and once for missing authentication on a critical function. DNS resolution having this many tampering paths in one release is worth flagging as a pattern rather than three unrelated bugs. The one genuinely different entry is Outlook Copilot, described simply as vulnerable to “malicious uses” enabling tampering over the network. That’s a fantastically vague phrasing for an AI-assistant feature, continuing this year's running theme of Copilot-branded features showing up somewhere in every release. Finally, a .NET link-following bug and a WSL2 kernel race condition receive patches. Both require local/authorized access to trigger.</p><p class="">Still with me? Good, because we have 35 DoS bugs to cover, and this is really an identity-infrastructure story more than a grab-bag. Active Directory Federation Services alone accounts for seven of them, all sitting at CVSS 7.5, all stack-based buffer overflows or infinite loops that let an unauthenticated attacker knock the service over the network.  The .NET ecosystem is the other big cluster: .NET, .NET Framework, and ASP.NET Core/OData contribute nine bugs combined, almost all “allocation of resources without limits or throttling”.  HTTP.sys and HTTP/2 pick up the same flavor. LSASS shows up twice, which is always worth a second look given what that process actually holds. Rounding out the list are patches for Windows DHCP Server, SMB Server, Secure Channel, Hyper-V, and IKE Protocol each take a single hit, mostly requiring authorized or adjacent-network access rather than being wide open to the internet.</p><p class="">No new advisories are being released this month.</p><p class=""><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p><p class="">The next Patch Tuesday will be on August 11, just after Hacker Summer Camp in sunny Las Vegas. Should I survive the heat, I’ll be back then to give you my full thoughts on the release – no matter how large it may be. Until then, stay safe, happy patching, and may all your reboots be smooth and clean!</p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apple TV has released the first trailer for Mayday, an upcoming action-comedy movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh. The Cold War adventure sends Reynolds behind enemy lines, where his dangerous military mission quickly turns into an unexpected survival story filled with explosions, chases and awkward humour.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om5Un9X720M




The trailer introduces Reynolds as Lieutenant Troy “Assassin” Kelly, a confident US Navy pilot sent on a secret mission over Soviet territory. When his aircraft goes down, Troy becomes stranded in Russia with enemy forces searching for him. His only hope of survival comes from Nikolai Ustinov, a former KGB agent played by Branagh, who appears unusually fascinated by American culture.




Movie: Mayday



Release date: September 4, 2026



Streaming platform: Apple TV



Runtime: 1 hour and 51 minutes



Genre: Action, comedy, adventure and spy thriller



Directors: John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein



Main cast: Ryan Reynolds, Kenneth Branagh, Maria Bakalova, Marcin Dorociński and David Morse




What Happens in the Mayday Trailer?



Minor trailer spoilers follow.



The Mayday trailer begins with Troy preparing for a classified operation during the height of the Cold War. His confidence suggests that he expects another successful mission, although the situation collapses after he enters Russian airspace and crash-lands in the wilderness.



Troy soon meets Nikolai, who decides to hide the American pilot instead of reporting him. Their first interactions establish the movie’s buddy-comedy style, with Troy struggling to understand whether his unlikely rescuer can genuinely be trusted.



Nikolai seems far more interested in American music, food and popular culture than Soviet politics. This creates several lighter moments as the two characters attempt to communicate while soldiers close in on their location.



The trailer also shows gunfights, military vehicles, snowy landscapes and several escape attempts. Troy still behaves like a fearless action hero, while Nikolai approaches danger with a calmer and less predictable attitude. Their different personalities appear to drive much of the comedy.



Where Is the Story Heading?



Troy and Nikolai will have to cross Soviet territory while avoiding soldiers, intelligence officers and anyone searching for the missing pilot. Their journey appears to grow into a larger escape mission as Nikolai risks his own safety to help Troy return home.



The central mystery involves Nikolai’s reasons for helping an American officer. His interest in Western culture offers one explanation, although the trailer suggests that he has personal reasons for turning against the people hunting Troy.



The movie also appears to build a genuine friendship between the two men. Troy begins the story as a self-assured pilot who expects to handle every problem alone, but surviving Russia requires him to trust someone he would normally consider an enemy.



John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein wrote and directed Mayday. The filmmakers previously worked together on Game Night and Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which also combined action, character-based comedy and emotional storytelling.



FAQs



When does Mayday come out on Apple TV? Mayday premieres globally on Apple TV on Friday, September 4, 2026. The movie will arrive as a complete feature film, so viewers will not have to wait for weekly episodes.  Is Mayday a movie or a series? Mayday is a movie with a reported runtime of 111 minutes. It is currently planned as a standalone Apple Original Film rather than an episodic series.  Who does Ryan Reynolds play in Mayday? Ryan Reynolds plays Lieutenant Troy “Assassin” Kelly, a skilled US Navy pilot whose classified operation fails after he enters Soviet territory.  Who does Kenneth Branagh play? Kenneth Branagh plays Nikolai Ustinov, a former KGB agent who rescues Troy and helps him hide from Soviet forces.  Is Mayday based on a true story? Mayday is presented as an original fictional Cold War adventure. No official details describe the movie as a true story or an adaptation of real events.  Will Mayday receive a cinema release? The movie is currently scheduled to premiere directly on Apple TV. A wide theatrical release has not been announced.  



Mayday arrives on Apple TV on September 4, bringing together Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh for a Cold War escape story with action, humour and an unusual friendship at its centre.



Apple TV costs $12.99 per month in the US, with pricing varying across other regions. Are you planning to watch Mayday when it arrives? Let us know in the comments.]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Message a business on WhatsApp this week and you may be greeted by software. On June 3, <a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2026/06/meta-business-agent/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Meta made its Business AI agent available to companies everywhere</a>, a bot that answers questions, recommends products, books appointments, qualifies sales leads and hands you to a human when it gets stuck. It comes bundled in WhatsApp’s premium business tiers, and the largest companies pay for it by the token. After almost two years of testing in markets like India and Mexico, it is now live worldwide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I build AI agents for a living, and this is a good one. It also sits on top of the largest messaging network ever built. WhatsApp passed three billion monthly users last year. Mark Zuckerberg says people now hold more than a billion threads a day with business accounts across Meta’s apps. Paid messaging on WhatsApp crossed a <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/01/whatsapp-now-has-more-than-3-billion-users/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">two-billion-dollar annual run rate in the fourth quarter of 2025</a>, and click-to-WhatsApp ad revenue grew sixty percent year over year. Meta has spent a decade trying to turn all of that talking into buying, and the agent is its most capable attempt yet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, picture the moment the agent finishes taking your order. What happens next?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>The model Meta keeps pointing at</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Hangzhou or Shenzhen, the answer is that your order shows up, often within the hour. China fused messaging, payments and shopping into single apps more than a decade ago. WeChat carries roughly 1.4 billion users, an in-app store layer with hundreds of millions of monthly shoppers, and a wallet most of the country pays with. Korea built its own version, where KakaoTalk made chat the default way to send a gift. This is the world Meta gestures at when it imagines what WhatsApp could be.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And yet WeChat, the purest “messaging app does commerce” story, is not actually China’s shopping champion, even though it arrived first and is still the bigger app. People do not open a messaging app to browse and shop. The buying went instead to Douyin, the Chinese app run by TikTok’s owner ByteDance, whose endless video feed is engineered to make you want things you were not looking for. WeChat had the users and the wallet, and it still lacked the two things that actually move commerce: A feed that creates demand and a way to deliver the goods. A chat window is neither.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>The moat was never the storefront</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Amazon learned the same lesson from the other side. Its moat was never the website. It was the warehouses, the trucks and the two-day promise (then one-day, then same-day) that rivals could not match. In 2025 <a href="https://www.freightwaves.com/news/amazon-overtakes-us-postal-service-as-largest-parcel-carrier?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Amazon passed the US Postal Service to become the largest parcel carrier in the country by volume, moving 6.7 billion packages</a>. Roughly 180 million Americans pay for Prime. The storefront is the part everyone sees; the fulfillment network is the part that wins.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Asia’s commerce leaders made the same bet. Coupang built Korea’s Amazon by pouring billions into logistics: Order by midnight, and it arrives before 7 a.m., weekends included. Seven in ten Koreans now live within ten minutes of a Coupang warehouse. Even Alibaba, which grew up as an asset-light marketplace that owned no trucks, eventually concluded it had to build a logistics arm to keep pace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speed sells, too. In China, McKinsey found, live shopping converts viewers into buyers at rates approaching 30 percent, roughly ten times an ordinary web page, because the fulfillment behind it delivers the impulse before it cools. The conversation creates the want, but the warehouse turns it into a sale.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Even where messaging rules</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Korea shows what a messenger can and cannot win. KakaoTalk is the country’s WhatsApp, and it owns one kind of commerce completely: gifting. Koreans send presents straight from the chat window, close to 200 million of them in 2025, which is nearly all of the country’s mobile gifting. But notice what kind of commerce that is. A gift voucher or a coffee coupon needs no warehouse. The moment a purchase becomes a physical thing that has to arrive fast, the winner is no longer the messenger but Coupang and its dawn-delivery network. KakaoTalk owns the commerce that fits inside a message; Coupang owns the commerce that needs a truck.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Japan makes the same point in the negative. LINE is about as dominant a messenger as exists anywhere, reaching 97 million people, close to 78 percent of the country. If messaging reach alone turned into commerce, LINE would own Japanese retail. Instead, it shut down its own payments service in 2025 and handed the wallet to a rival, while the actual shopping stayed with Rakuten and Amazon Japan. The most-used chat app in the country could not turn that reach into owning what people buy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every market tells the same story: A chat app does not win physical commerce. Whoever owns the warehouse does.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>What Meta is missing</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Which brings us back to the WhatsApp agent, where Meta starts further ahead than WeChat ever did. Through Instagram and Reels it owns the demand-making feed WeChat never had, the agent gives it the sales conversation, and in the West, paying by card is universal. Only the last pillar is missing. Meta has no warehouses, no trucks, no delivery promise of its own and the few times it reached for the pieces around the sale, it pulled back: Its own wallet, Meta Pay, never became something people use, and in 2025 it wound down in-app checkout for Facebook and Instagram Shops, sending buyers back to merchants’ own sites to pay, ship and handle returns. Even Marketplace, its billion-user listings surface, mostly stays out of the transaction itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And in the West, that last pillar is already spoken for. The West did fuse commerce, just not around chat. Amazon long ago combined the storefront, the payment, its own branded credit cards and the expensive part, the warehouses and the trucks, into one app that owns the American purchase from search to doorstep. That is the same kind of vertical integration China’s commerce giants built, with players like Alibaba and JD racing into a market where no Amazon yet stood in the way. In the US, that lane was filled years ago.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>The other half</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of this makes the agent a mistake. It is already a booming ad business for Meta, and maybe that is all Meta wants it to be: Commerce’s front door, sending the shopper onward and billing the merchant for the introduction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But goods are only half of commerce, and the other half never needed a warehouse. Remember what KakaoTalk won: Gifting, the one kind of buying that ships nothing. Services are the same, only far bigger. A haircut, a dental cleaning, a training session, a plumber’s visit, a tutor’s hour: None of it sits in a fulfillment center. The transaction is a booking, not a box.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And a booking is exactly what the agent is built to take. Look at the feature Meta put in its own announcement, right beside answering questions and recommending products: It books appointments. For a salon, a clinic or a one-person studio, that is a front desk. Give it the two pieces still missing, a calendar to hold the schedule and a way to take payment inside the chat, and WhatsApp stops being where those businesses message customers and becomes where they run the day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of it needs a warehouse, and none of it is Amazon’s to defend. Does that put Meta on a collision course with Square and Mindbody?</p>
