Building a Real-Time Multiplayer Chess Game Inside ChatGPT (Agents SDK)

In this clip from This Week in NET, Systems Engineer Steve James gives a hands-on demo of a real-time multiplayer chess game running inside ChatGPT, built with the Agents SDK and Cloudflare Workers. Beyond the demo, we talk about what developers can build today with AI agents — and why, given the pace of innovation, it’s genuinely hard to predict what applications and experiences will emerge in 2026.

The SOC Analyst Agent: Bring an Agentic approach to work with your SOC team

For years, security teams have dealt with the challenges of alert fatigue, endless tools and data sources, and constant context switching. But, so far, we haven’t been able to significantly improve it with traditional tools. However, new agentic approaches can start providing improved gains. This begins to change the way SOC teams operate and approach managing their talent.

Risk Acceptance vs Risk Exposure: Making Smarter Security Investments

Before investing in new security tools, it’s critical to understand what your current stack is actually delivering. Barmak Meftah spoke about the importance of baselining existing investments to truly grasp risk acceptance versus real risk exposure. Without that foundation, new acquisitions lack context and are often driven by trends rather than necessity. Smarter decisions come from understanding:︎ What is already deployed︎ How it is configured︎ Where exposure persists.

Agentic AI and Shadow APIs: Why SecOps Needs Specialization Now

Agentic AI and Shadow APIs: Why SecOps Needs Specialization Now APIs are rapidly becoming the core “language” of AI, and when agentic AI can generate its own APIs, the security stakes rise significantly. In this clip from the A10 Networks discussion, “APIs are the Language of AI – Protecting Them is Critical,” A10 security experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto unpack why specialized skills and tools are now essential for modern security operations teams.

The top 6 AI security trends for 2026-and how companies can prepare

AI is changing the threat landscape faster than organizations can respond. AI-generated phishing and fraud have increased sharply year-over-year, and GenAI is enabling more sophisticated cyber attacks than ever before. ‍ Businesses are feeling the pain. Our team at Vanta surveyed 2,500 business and IT leaders across the globe and found that nearly three-quarters believe AI threats are outpacing their ability to manage them.

How to Detect and Eliminate Shadow AI in 5 Steps

The pressure to integrate AI is immense. Your developers need to move fast, and they’re finding ways to get the job done. But this rush for innovation often happens outside of established governance, creating a sprawling, invisible risk known as Shadow AI. To secure your organization, you must first understand what Shadow AI actually is. It’s not just a developer downloading a file to their laptop. Shadow AI is the totality of unmanaged AI assets within your supply chain.

DeepChat AI agent XSS-to-RCE via Mermaid and Electron IPC

In December 2025, a critical remote code execution vulnerability was disclosed in DeepChat, an open-source desktop AI agent platform built using Electron. The issue, tracked as CVE-2025-67744, affects all DeepChat versions prior to 0.5.3 and carries a CVSS score of 9.6. The vulnerability arises from the interaction between two separate weaknesses. The first allows attacker-controlled JavaScript execution through unsafe rendering of Mermaid diagrams.

Exploring The Future Of AI In Cybersecurity Penetration Testing

In recent years, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various fields has grown tremendously, and cybersecurity is no exception. As cyber threats evolve in complexity, the need for innovative solutions like AI-driven penetration testing becomes more crucial. AI has the potential to revolutionize how businesses approach security, making penetration testing faster, more accurate, and more effective. This article delves into the increasing role of AI in cybersecurity, particularly in penetration testing, exploring its benefits, challenges, and future implications.
