A CEO’s AI agent rewrote the company’s security policy. Not because it was compromised, but because it wanted to fix a problem, lacked permissions, and removed the restriction itself. Every identity check passed. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz disclosed the incident and a second one at his RSAC 2026 keynote, both at Fortune 50 companies.The credential was valid.

Identity systems were built for one user, one session, one set of hands on a keyboard. Agents break all three assumptions at once.In an exclusive interview with VentureBeat at RSAC 2026, Matt Caulfi [...]
A rogue AI agent at Meta passed every identity check and still exposed sensitive data to unauthorized employees in March. Two weeks later, Mercor, a $10 billion AI startup, confirmed a supply-chain br [...]

Microsoft last week took Agent 365, its management platform for AI agents, out of preview and into general availability — a move that signals the software giant believes the governance challenge aro [...]
For the past two years, the technology industry has raced to make AI agents more capable — teaching them to write code, navigate software interfaces, manage files, and orchestrate multi-step workflo [...]
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 incide [...]
Snowflake announced Cortex AI Gateway on Tuesday, a centralized control layer designed to govern how AI agents — including those built by competitors like Anthropic's Claude Code and Cursor — [...]
A single fake error report hijacked Claude Code in controlled testing — the agent ran the attacker's code with the developer's full privileges, and not one alert fired. EDR, WAF, IAM, and [...]
New VB Pulse data shows Microsoft and OpenAI leading enterprise agent orchestration, but Anthropic’s first measurable foothold points to a larger fight over who controls the infrastructure where AI [...]
