Globalgig expands managed security portfolio to protect enterprise AI
Globalgig adds managed AI security services covering posture management, access control, runtime protection and 24/7 AI threat monitoring built on Palo Alto Networks.
MSSP Globalgig expanded its managed security portfolio with enterprise AI protection spanning AI Security Posture Management, AI Access Security, AI Runtime Security, and AI Security Operations. The offering cites the 2026 Cost of a Data Breach Report finding that shadow AI was involved in 43% of breaches this year and 92% of AI-related breach victims lacked adequate AI access controls. Services are built on Palo Alto Networks technology, with Orchestra Insight supplying network context.
After warning AI is too dangerous, Bill Gates bets a billion on its upside
Gates Foundation pledges at least $1 billion over two years to widen AI access in health, education and agriculture, warning of a rich-poor divide.
The Gates Foundation's 2026 Goalkeepers report outlines spending of at least $1 billion over two years on AI access in health, education and farming. Gates notes over 90% of early LLM training data was English, with speech recognition error rates below 6% in English but above 60% in Yoruba. Cited projects include Penda Health clinics in Kenya (16-point diagnostic accuracy gain), Gemini Guided Learning in Sierra Leone (1.7 years of learning gains in eight weeks), and India's MahaVISTAAR reaching 740,000+ farmers at under 18 cents per person.
AWS limits AI agents’ data access, even when manipulated
AWS detailed propagating user authorization context through Bedrock AgentCore so downstream services enforce access controls even if the agent is manipulated via prompt injection.
AWS described an architecture for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore where user tokens and department claims are validated at runtime and propagated to DynamoDB, Bedrock Knowledge Bases, and Salesforce. Downstream services enforce authorization themselves, so a prompt-injected or buggy agent cannot retrieve data the user is not entitled to see. AWS demonstrated the pattern with a CRM use case separating Sales and Finance access and recommends IAM-backed knowledge bases for stricter isolation.
AI deployments are stretching enterprise security to its limits
NetFoundry survey finds AI deployments will expand enterprise attack surfaces by 14%, with 90% of leaders worried about unapproved employee AI use.
NetFoundry's 2026 State of Secure AI Access survey found CISOs and CTOs expect AI deployments to grow attack surfaces by an average 14% within a year, with 90% concerned about employees using unapproved AI tools. Only 15% expressed high confidence that existing tools protect AI deployments, while non-human identities, static credentials and internet-facing APIs drive risk, and vulnerability exploitation now accounts for about 31% of breaches. Security reviews and network changes add an average eight days to AI deployments, and the median time to patch known exploited vulnerabilities has risen to 43 days.
A10 Networks introduces AI Gateway to secure and manage enterprise AI
A10 Networks launches AI Gateway, a control plane for routing, cost management, and governance of enterprise AI agents and LLMs.
A10 Networks announced general availability of the A10 AI Gateway, a centralized control plane providing identity-based AI access policies, smart routing that matches request complexity to model capability, and per-request dollar cost tracking with per-team token budgets. The product enforces business-layer TPM/RPM rate limiting and integrates with A10's TrojAI and ThreatX AI security portfolio across the AI lifecycle. It runs entirely in the customer environment—on-premises, private cloud, or air-gapped—for full data sovereignty.
Ukraine to give Britain access to battlefield data to train AI
Ukraine agreed to give the UK access to battlefield data from Avengers AI Labs to train and test defense AI systems.
Ukraine and the UK signed an agreement making Britain the first foreign partner with access to Avengers AI Labs, a Ukrainian defense ministry platform holding about 5 million battlefield images and video frames drawn largely from the DELTA battlefield management system. Systems trained on this data analyze more than 100,000 drone video feeds per month and help identify roughly 70% of enemy targets in real time. Pilot projects are already underway with Sintela, Mind Foundry and Skyral, and the first technology is expected to protect a British defense facility, with potential expansion to airports, prisons, railways and energy infrastructure.
Akeyless adds real-time enforcement for AI agents in production
Akeyless launches Agentic Runtime Authority, enforcing real-time intent-based access control on AI agent actions, with integrations for Claude Enterprise, OpenAI Codex and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
Akeyless announced general availability of Agentic Runtime Authority, a real-time identity control layer that evaluates AI agent actions and blocks policy-violating actions before execution, layered on top of its SecretlessAI credential brokering. New integrations cover Claude Enterprise, OpenAI Codex and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, alongside an Agentic Access Dashboard with session kill switches and event forwarding to Splunk, Datadog and Microsoft Sentinel. The vendor's platform already secures over 220 billion machine identity interactions for Fortune 500 organizations.
“Ghostjacking” Exploits AI Agents’ Trusted Access to Evade Firewall Controls
Tenet warns 'Ghostjacking' tricks AI agents with fake reports to abuse trusted access and bypass firewall controls, exposing half of Fortune 500 firms.
Tenet researchers described 'Ghostjacking,' a technique that feeds fabricated reports to AI agents in order to hijack their trusted access and evade firewall controls. The firm estimates that roughly half of Fortune 500 companies are vulnerable because AI agents operate with elevated, trusted permissions that perimeter tools do not inspect.
Zscaler unveils a set of security solutions designed to leverage the full potential of generative AI
OpenAI targets small utilities with $1 billion cyber defense initiative
OpenAI commits $1 billion to Daybreak for Frontline Defenders, subsidizing frontier cyber AI access and training for small utilities, governments, and critical infrastructure operators.
OpenAI President Greg Brockman announced Daybreak for Frontline Defenders, a $1 billion global commitment expanding subsidized access to Daybreak cyber models, training, and technical support. Daybreak for America will target small water and electricity providers, local governments, and banks, including a pilot with the MS-ISAC for state, local, tribal, and territorial defenders. The Daybreak Defense Network brings more than 35 enterprise partner products into the program, and attendees at OpenAI's utility summit represent 40 states serving over half the US population. Security experts welcomed the effort but cautioned that OT environments still need human-led implementation and testing before AI tooling can be safely rolled out.
