Dark Reading reports that for 2026, security must shift from prevention to resilience. AI attacks are too fast for old methods. If you aren't spending 30% of your budget on recovery, you are behind. Focus on MTTR to protect shareholders.

Me: “Okay, Polly, don’t do it again.”

We need to stop waiting for infinite context windows and start building better harnesses.
Give your digital interns a notebook that survives the reboot. 4/

This is huge for Security.
Imagine a Red Team agent finding a bug. If it doesn't leave a perfect map (External Memory) for the next agent, you waste tokens and miss fixes.
The "Spec" isn't just instructions—it's the Agent's long-term memory. 3/
I read Anthropic's new paper on "Long-Running Agents" and the solution is clear:
It's not just about smarter models (better interns).
It's about better Context (external memory).
You need a "Manager" agent to leave a detailed "To-Do" list for the "Worker" agent. 2/
If you've seen Severance, you know the horror of the "Innie"—waking up at work with no memory of the past.
That's exactly how we treat AI Agents.
We spin them up, they work, we kill them.
The next agent starts with zero memory of what the previous one did.
It's the Amnesiac Intern problem. 🧵 1/
Now security departments are going to have to figure out how to control AI agents in the hands of every knowledge worker?
Tell me what you think...

I mean, do we want our knowledge workers using AI to create and deploy AI agents? Companies expend a lot of effort to keep these knowledge workers from clicking on phishing emails or sharing sensitive information when they set up their out of office notifications. (2/3)
Google has announced Google Workspace Studio to allow enterprise Google users to create and share AI agents.
Google is continuing to pull ahead in AI, but is this really a good thing? (1/3)

Watching a really interesting presentation by Dr Chase Cunningham at the Cloud Security Alliance Zero Trust Summit. He’s making a strong case for Cybersecurity Tax Credits as a means to incentivize better practices, increased investment, and risk reduction. #cybersecurity
Big news in the Identity & Access Management (IAM) market:
ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) is acquiring Veza, giving them a solid entry into the Identity Governance & Administration space, and validating the importance of this capability in today's security and tech stack.

Over the past week, I've been posting on LinkedIn about the AI Agent-based cyberattack reported by Anthropic. I've looked at a number of aspects of the attack. The links to all of the posts are summarized here: www.linkedin.com/posts/michae...

After being on Twitter since 2008, it seems like time to set up a new shop.
is there a link to this?
Innovative and frightening at the same time.
We have assumed too long that WiFi attacks would really only be practical through physical proximity.
