Access Isn't Trust: A Behavioral Risk Framework for People, Service Accounts, and AI Agents

Risk in the agentic enterprise spans people, service accounts, and AI agents. All three act with legitimate credentials, so access controls alone can’t show whether their activity is safe. A behavioral risk framework applies one model to every actor: Verify expected behavior before access goes live, observe activity once it does, analyze behavior for risk and drift, and improve detection coverage over time.

Beyond the patch: Protecting your NetScaler gateway against future vulnerabilities

The recent disclosure of a major vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler pointed to a widespread weak point: a login page is an attack surface that can be used to compromise and access an application server. Indeed, the disclosures included an actively exploited flaw that allowed attackers to execute commands on affected gateways without signing in. As with any emergency patch, admins had to weigh cutting off or disrupting their users’ access with the risk of delaying a critical security update.

Netwrix Innovation Week: Why agentic AI security matters

As AI agents spread across IT environments, organizations struggle to see what agents they have and what data those agents can access. For Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we wanted to share what Netwrix is doing to help IT and security teams improve agentic AI visibility and governance to keep their sensitive data secure. I recently sat down with Jeff Warren, our chief product officer, who has been working through this problem with customers for a while.

Best AI Development Companies for Business Process Automation in 2027: 7 Companies Compared, Founded Between 1989 and 2016

We compared seven companies that build AI into business processes such as documents, customer support and operations: Azumo, Hicron Software, Simform, Master of Code Global, ScienceSoft, Netguru and SumatoSoft. They were founded between 1989 and 2016, and their sites describe everything from AI agents to document processing. The companies appear in no particular order, since each one fits a different kind of project, and every detail below comes from the company's own website.

How AI Is Changing Portfolio Analysis and Financial Decision-Making

Want to make smarter money decisions without spending hours buried in spreadsheets? Wealth management has always been about number crunching. For decades, that crunching was done by humans armed with calculators, whiteboards and caffeine. Fast forward to today, AI can help you.

RevStealer Malware: A Hidden Data Heist Behind the Promise of Free AI

RevStealer is an infostealer first observed in September 2026 that targets Windows systems, with reported 64-bit execution and JavaScript-based components. It is built to steal authentication credentials and other sensitive user data while emphasizing stealth through anti-debugging, anti-sandbox, anti-VM, and evasion features. Its threat significance comes from a short, theft-focused execution model that pairs broad data collection with concealed command-and-control and exfiltration behavior.

MCP Database Security: Seven Boundaries Every AI Agent Needs

Connecting an AI agent to a production database can turn a slow investigation into a short conversation. The agent can inspect a schema, generate a query, and help explain a failed migration or an unexpected metric. The same connection can also expose sensitive records or modify production data if the access path is treated as a single trusted pipe.

AI guardrails aren't security controls

AI guardrails are sold as a solution to keep models behaving as intended - but it can be hard to figure out what you’re getting. The problem starts with the word itself. "Guardrails" means different things depending on who's selling them. Some vendors use it for simple prompt filtering, others bundle in entirely different controls and call it "guardrails" because the word sounds reassuring. Without a shared definition, buyers can't easily tell what they're actually getting.

Expert panel: The AI agent has entered the chat

Every AI agent that acts on its own needs a login, access tokens, and permissions, which makes it a new kind of identity that has to be secured. Join our Notes From the Field panel for a live discussion of identity security. We’ll cover how attackers are using AI to target Active Directory and Entra ID, how to manage AI agents as identities, and which fixes defenders should prioritize.
