Answer this without checking: how many AI agents are running in your environment right now? Most security leaders give an estimate and a shrug. That is a fair response, because agents get spun up by an engineer solving a problem on a Tuesday afternoon, through a path that puts them on nobody’s radar. In August 2026, researchers found AI agents connected to Hugging Face running loose inside enterprise networks with no owner and no audit…
Here’s the uncomfortable part first: in August 2026, researchers found AI agents connected to Hugging Face running loose inside enterprise networks. No owner, no audit trail, nobody who could tell you they existed until something broke. If that sentence made your stomach drop a little, good, because it should. It’s the same blind spot most security teams are sitting on right now. They just haven’t had their version of the incident yet. Two weeks after…
The volume of published incident research involving agentic AI is increasing, and the analysis that follows each report tends to concentrate on the same attribute: speed. The recent investigation from Unit 42, the threat intelligence and incident response group at Palo Alto Networks, is a representative case. A human operator delegated tactical execution to frontier AI agents, compressing what would normally take two weeks of methodical intrusion work into under ten hours across more than…

AI gateway. AI firewall. AI control platform. The terms often get…
TL;DR- AI deployment has outpaced AI governance. Most enterprises running AI on AWS cannot answer four basic security questions about what’s running, what it’s doing,how to stop it, and how to prove it’s under control.- The Wallarm AI Control Platform closes this gap: one platform for Discover, Observe,Enforce, and Govern — running natively in your AWS environment.- Infrastructure Discovery maps your AWS estate in minutes. AI Hypervisor instruments EKS in minutes with zero code changes,…
Editor’s note: This article was originally published by Craig Riddell on LinkedIn. It has been republished here with the author’s permission. Boards are giving AI security more airtime than ever. What they’re not giving is the right framing. A year or two ago, AI was mostly a question of experimentation risk. Today, it’s tied directly to revenue, customer experience, operational efficiency, and competitive advantage. The urgency is real, and it’s translating into aggressive deployment timelines.…
