From Inspection to Authorization: Securing Networks for AI Agents
Tags: access, ai, api, business, ceo, cloud, communications, control, crowdstrike, cryptography, data, encryption, endpoint, finance, firewall, identity, infrastructure, login, network, office, risk, saas, service, usa, vpn<div cla An Industry Perspective By Rajiv Pimplaskar, CEO, Dispersive Holdings, Inc. Agentic AI changes the network security problem from inspection to authorization. As more traffic is generated by agents, models, and workloads operating at machine speed, the network has to make trust decisions continuously, evaluate policy in real time, revoke access automatically, and keep…

Why Non-Human Identities Break Legacy Access Models
Keeper Security’s Darren Guccione on Governing Agentic Identity. Non-human identities now outnumber humans across the enterprise, but legacy access tools built for people can’t track or govern them. Darren Guccione of Keeper Security says boards must fund identity governance for agentic AI and quantum-resistant encryption on the sidelines of Black Hat 2026. First seen on…

Securing Agentic AI Workflows in n8n: From Leaked API Keys to Encryption Key Compromise
A leaked n8n API key is only the start. GitGuardian’s research traces the full chain, from exposed tokens and weak keys to CVE-2026-25053 and the N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY that protects every stored credential, then lays out a hardened configuration to break it.

Ransomware Killers Overwrite Security Process Memory Without Terminating Applications
Ransomware operators are increasingly deploying “ransomware killers” that surgically overwrite the memory of security processes instead of simply terminating them, allowing encryption to proceed. At the same time, endpoint tools appear to run normally but are effectively blind. This evolution marks a shift from crude process-killing to stealthy, in”‘memory tampering that targets EDR/AV telemetry, kernel…

EFF: Most Smart Wearables Still Fall Short on Privacy and Transparency
EFF says most smart wearables lack basic privacy protections, with Apple standing out for end-to-end encryption and transparency. Most smart wearables still treat privacy like an optional extra, and that’s a problem. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)’s review of major smart watches, rings, and bands makes the case plainly: these devices collect deeply personal health…
