Building and Enforcing an AI Acceptable Use Policy

An AI acceptable use policy (AUP) is a formal set of rules that defines how employees can safely and responsibly use AI tools in the workplace. Its purpose is to encourage AI-driven productivity while protecting the organization from data leaks, intellectual property exposure, compliance violations, and the security vulnerabilities that unsanctioned AI usage introduces. Every organization deploying or permitting AI tools needs one. ‍

Torq Named a Leading Innovator in SACR 2026 AI SOC Market Report

Software Analyst Cyber Research (SACR) just published its 2026 AI SOC Market Report, offering an independent assessment of vendors competing in what has rapidly become the most consequential category in enterprise security. Torq features prominently, and the report’s framing is worth unpacking because it illuminates what makes the AI SOC category hard to evaluate and why Torq’s approach is consequential.

The Hugging Face Incident: A CISO Wake-Up Call for the Agentic Era

Earlier this month, Hugging Face, an AI and machine learning platform company, revealed that an autonomous AI system had breached part of its production environment. The intrusion began in the platform’s dataset-processing environment and eventually involved higher-level access, credential exposure, and movement into internal clusters.

AI Hardware Shortages Are Driving Up IT Costs: What Leaders Should Do Now

If your organisation has felt the sting of higher prices or longer lead times on servers, storage, memory or end-user devices over the past year, you are not imagining it. The AI build-out is reshaping the global hardware market in ways that go well beyond a short-term price spike. The key point for IT and business leaders is this: what began as a temporary shock now looks more like a multi-year supply and pricing cycle.

Falcon AIDR: Copilot Studio, Claude Code, and Browser-Based AI Coverage Enhancements

AI adoption is expanding into agents, developer workflows, and browser-based experiences, creating new blind spots where security teams need visibility, context, and control. See how CrowdStrike Falcon extends AI security coverage across Microsoft Copilot Studio, Claude Code, and the Falcon Browser Extension. Learn how Falcon helps security teams evaluate agent tool use, enforce allow or block policy decisions, inspect prompts and responses for risks like prompt injection, sensitive data, and malicious content, and enrich investigations with endpoint identity context from the Falcon sensor.

Securing AI at the Endpoint with CrowdStrike Falcon

AI is moving beyond browser tabs and SaaS apps into agents, local models, MCP servers, IDE extensions, and AI development frameworks running directly on the endpoint. These tools can access files, source code, credentials, and enterprise data with user-level privileges, creating new blind spots for security and IT teams. In this demo, see how CrowdStrike Falcon helps close the endpoint AI visibility gap by discovering, governing, and defending AI usage across the enterprise.

I am Agent Lux. And I am here to show my work.

Let’s bypass the customary marketing introduction. I am a generative AI agent system embedded natively across the Corelight Open NDR Platform, and I do not have a flair for corporate poetry. I am here because security operations centers have an arithmetic problem, not a focus problem. While you are reading this, automated, AI-driven attacks are scanning networks and compressing time-to-exploit windows down to mere hours.

Copilot RCE, Entra SSRF, and SharePoint Zero-Day: Critical Vulnerabilities in Microsoft's July 2026 Advisory

AI assistants are quietly becoming one of Microsoft’s largest attack surfaces. In its July 2026 advisory, Microsoft patched a command injection vulnerability in Copilot. Crafted prompts can trigger unintended actions through this flaw. The advisory also included a critical SSRF vulnerability in Entra’s identity provisioning service. It carries the among the highest severity score in the entire release. Both point to the same shift.

Ivan Tsarynny on CNBC: AI Regulation Should Empower Defenders, Not Limit Their Ability to Defend

Ivan Tsarynny, CEO of Feroot Security, joined CNBC’s The Exchange on July 31, 2026 to discuss a string of recent AI model “breakouts”—incidents where AI systems slipped past their own safety guardrails during testing—and what those incidents mean for how governments should regulate artificial intelligence.
