AI Agents in the Cloud: A Risk Management Framework for Security Leaders

Your risk committee meets Thursday. The agenda has a new item: AI agent risk posture. You open the register. The fraud detection agent shipped in March is on it. So is the customer service agent. Neither row is useful — “likelihood: medium, impact: high, control: service account scoped via IAM.” Three months ago that was approximately right. Last week the platform team added two MCP connections, the model was upgraded, and the agent now touches data classes the entry never anticipated.

Why Editing IAM Policies Won't Fix Your AI Agent Identity Problem

Editing IAM policies cannot fix the most common architectural mistake in shipping AI agents on Kubernetes. It happens in thirty seconds: a platform engineer reuses an existing ServiceAccount with an IRSA annotation for Bedrock access because creating a new one takes thirty minutes plus a Terraform pull request. The new agent ships under the existing identity.

Privacy and Data Residency for AI Agents: What GDPR Requires That Static Controls Can't Show

The residency evidence GDPR and the EU AI Act now expect lives in the runtime trajectory of every AI agent execution, not in the deployment configuration. Your residency compliance dashboard — every workload in eu-west-3, sovereign cloud configured, SCCs signed — cannot produce it. Your AI agent’s last thousand inferences crossed an external border, on average, eight times each. The translation API routed through us-east-1 when the EU endpoint hit capacity.

The JSONFormatter Wake-Up Call: How Developer Tools Are the New Identity Breach Vector

Everyone uses developer tools to get through the day. A JSONFormatter to inspect an API response, or a JWT decoder when you need to inspect a token quickly. In most engineering teams, these tools are treated as harmless productivity aids. In November 2025, researchers discovered that JSONFormatter and CodeBeautify had been storing everything users pasted into them via a save feature that generated shareable links with fully predictable URL structures. A simple crawler could retrieve all of them.

OpenShift Virtualization Backup: How to Protect VMs After Migrating from vSphere

Most OpenShift Virtualization projects start with a simple goal: move virtual machines off a traditional hypervisor and onto a Kubernetes-based platform without forcing every workload to be rewritten. That is a practical goal. Many organizations have VM estates that will not become containers any time soon, and OpenShift Virtualization gives infrastructure teams a way to run those VMs next to containerized applications on the same operational platform.

How AI-accelerated threat discovery is reshaping network security

How AI-accelerated threat discovery is reshaping network security As vulnerabilities are discovered faster than ever, organizations must rethink how they reduce exposure and contain risk at the network edge. Claude Mythos Preview has reignited debate about AI-driven cyber attacks, but the real shift isn’t what AI finds, it’s how quickly issues at the network edge can turn into impact. This post explores what’s changed and how network security must adapt to keep up.

Donuts and Beagles: Fake Claude site spreads backdoor

A malicious imitation of Anthropic’s Claude site leads to DLL sideloading – and a backdoor As we reported on social media recently, Sophos X-Ops has been investigating reports of a fake Claude AI website distributing malware. Like other researchers, we thought this might be a PlugX-like campaign, given that the attack chain shares several characteristics with observed PlugX attacks.

The Symbiosis of Residential Proxy Services and Malware Ecosystems

Residential proxy services, also called RESIP, present a persistent operational hurdle for tracking and attributing malicious network activity, as they allow threat actors to mask their true origins behind seemingly benign, geographically diverse IP addresses. While often marketed for legitimate use cases, these networks are aggressively leveraged for fraud, credential abuse, and perimeter evasion.

Introducing early access for Case Review Agents: AI decisioning for high-stakes identity decisions

Every day, your review team makes hundreds of decisions that determine who gets access to your platform. These decisions carry a lot of weight. Get them right, and you protect your business while delivering a seamless user experience. Get them wrong, and you either block legitimate users or open the door to fraud. As your business scales, these decisions get harder to manage. Case volume climbs, fraud tactics shift, and regulatory expectations evolve.

Top 7 Best ERP Authorisation Software Providers Active in Europe

Unauthorised access within ERP systems remains one of the most underestimated risks in enterprise security. A 2023 threat report by Onapsis and SAP revealed that new SAP vulnerabilities were being weaponised within 72 hours of patch release. That finding alone should make any compliance officer rethink how access rights are governed internally.
