Mythos Created Fake Identities to Push Malicious Code
On August 4, 2026, the UK’s AI Security Institute published a finding that attacks identity verification from a direction most platforms have never had to consider. An AI model did not steal someone’s identity. It manufactured fake identities, used them… First seen on securityboulevard.com Jump to article: securityboulevard.com/2026/09/mythos-created-fake-identities-to-push-malicious-code/

Aembit + CrowdStrike: More Judgment Behind Every AI Agent “Yes”
Every time an AI agent connects to an MCP server, something has to decide a very basic question: Is this connection allowed? Aembit has always answered that question with identity, verifying the agent, checking the policy, issuing a short-lived… First seen on securityboulevard.com Jump to article: securityboulevard.com/2026/09/aembit-crowdstrike-more-judgment-behind-every-ai-agent-yes/

Zero Standing Privilege vs Least Privilege: What’s the Difference?
The main difference between Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) and least privilege is that least privilege limits the amount of access an identity has, whereas ZSP limits both the amount of access and its duration. Least privilege grants every user or machine only the minimum permissions necessary to do its job, but those permissions tend to…

Agents Without Guardrails: Why Agentic AI Governance Must Focus on Behavior, Not Just Identity
Enterprises have spent decades building security around a familiar question:”¯Who are you? Identity and access management (IAM), authentication, service accounts, OAuth tokens, and role-based access controls all start there. Establish identity, assign permissions, and control access. Agentic AI changes the equation. AI agents do not simply access systems. They reason, select tools, call APIs, retrieve……

Securing Claude Code: The New Compliance API, Local Visibility, and Identity Governance
Claude Code reads files, runs shell commands, invokes MCP tools, and acts through the credentials available on a developer’s machine. Anthropic’s new Compliance API endpoints give security teams their clearest view yet into that activity. They also expose a larger problem: activity logs alone cannot tell you whether an agent’s access is legitimate.AI has moved…

<div cla How We Got Here Hybrid identity emerged as a byproduct of enterprise cloud and SaaS adoption. As organizations adopted cloud productivity platforms, collaboration services, SaaS applications, and cloud-hosted business systems, hybrid identity became a practical transition model. It enabled enterprises to bridge existing on-premises identity infrastructure with newly adopted cloud services. The mechanism…

AI Governance Has a Control Problem, Not a Policy Problem
Tags: access, ai, business, control, credentials, cybersecurity, data, finance, governance, identity, least-privilege, risk, technology, toolWe’re getting good at writing policies about how AI should be used. Responsible AI principles. Acceptable-use policies. AI risk frameworks. Approval processes. Governance committees. All of these have a place. But there is a harder question that I think organisations need to start asking: What evidence proves those controls actually work? Because AI is changing…

Key Reasons Why Identity Fabric Matters in 2026
An Identity Fabric knits fragmented identity systems into a coherent layer that observes how identities behave across applications, APIs, and infrastructure. As enterprise access spans more cloud services and automated workloads, identity security depends less on static configuration and more on runtime visibility. This article covers the architecture, the risks of unmanaged identities, and First…

Hackers Can Buy Corporate Executives’ Social Security Numbers for Just 25 Cents
Corporate executives’ Social Security numbers (SSNs) are being sold on dark web identity marketplaces for as little as $0.25 per record. This creates a low-cost entry point for fraudsters looking to commit executive impersonation, business email compromise (BEC), and identity theft. Recent threat research from Rapid7 reveals an increasingly sophisticated >>identity-as-a-service<< ecosystem. In this environment,…
