As enterprises accelerate adoption of AI agents, a new identity problem is emerging that looks increasingly difficult to control. Machines are no longer just infrastructure. They are becoming autonomous actors that request access, execute tasks, and interact with sensitive systems in ways that traditional identity frameworks were never designed to handle. This week, Ping Identity announced a set of platform updates aimed at redefining how organizations manage identity in what

Enterprises are patching faster than ever, but new research shows that speed alone is not reducing risk. A 2026 report from Adaptiva, based on a survey of more than 200 IT and security professionals, finds that fragmented automation and workflow gaps are leaving organizations exposed as attackers accelerate with AI. “Piecemeal automation is creating a false sense of security for enterprises,” said Deepak Kumar, Founder and CEO of Adaptiva. “There’s a significant difference be

A new phishing campaign is quietly turning everyday “free reward” emails into a global data theft machine, according to fresh research from KnowBe4 Threat Labs. Security analysts say the operation blends high-volume email distribution with polished brand impersonation and behavioral psychology to extract credit card details and personal data from victims at scale. The campaign revives a familiar lure. Users receive emails promising high-end prizes like smartphones or headphon

A cyberattack that disrupted systems at the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is now being attributed to Iranian state-backed actors, according to new research that points to a broader escalation in cyber activity targeting U.S. infrastructure. Researchers at Gambit Security say the group behind the March breach, calling itself Ababil of Minab, is likely linked to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and State Security. The group had claimed to act independe

Ransomware activity remains stubbornly high in 2026, even as monthly volumes fluctuate, according to new threat intelligence from NCC Group. The firm recorded 748 global ransomware incidents in April, a slight decline from March but still part of a broader trend that shows attackers operating at a higher baseline than last year. That shift reflects something more structural than a temporary spike. The ransomware-as-a-service economy has matured into a repeatable, scalable bus

As enterprises rapidly deploy autonomous AI agents across internal systems, cybersecurity teams are struggling to control how those agents access sensitive corporate data. TrustLogix announced a major expansion of its TrustAI platform aimed at solving that problem with real-time AI governance controls at the data layer. The new release introduces several capabilities designed for enterprise AI security, including a runtime “kill switch” that allows organizations to instantly
