AI Governance on AWS: The Runtime Control Loop: AI Governance on AWS: Four Functions, One Loop, and a Deadline That Already Passed

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 trail.

WAF vs WAAP API vs AI What Security Tools Do You Actually Need?

A straightforward framework for matching each layer of protection to the problem it actually solves. Trying to understand vendors in the modern application security space can feel a lot like trying to solve word scramble. Whether it’s remembering what the “A’s” in "WAAP” stand for, figuring out if “WAF” includes APIs, or assessing the actual function of a new AI security product, understanding what tools your team actually needs is getting harder all the time.

AI Agent Security Readiness: The Federal Standard You Should Get Ahead Of

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.

Dissecting Attacks Is Only Valuable If It Informs Controls: What the Unit 42 agentic AI investigation should change in your control set, stage by stage.

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.
