Microsoft 365 E7 and the Rise of AI Agents: What Security Leaders Need to Know

For years, enterprise security focused on protecting users, endpoints, applications and data. Today another identity is entering the enterprise. AI agents. Unlike traditional chatbots that simply answer questions, modern AI agents can perform tasks on behalf of users. They can search corporate knowledge, summarize documents, create reports, interact with business applications and, with appropriate permissions, execute multi-step workflows.

Zero Trust for AI Agents Starts After Login

Zero Trust was built to fix an older assumption: if you were inside the network, you were trusted. Then, Cloud, SaaS and remote work broke that, so security moved toward identity, device checks, MFA, least privilege, and continuous verification. But now, with agents, the messy bit starts after access. The agent reads a prompt, pulls context, chooses a tool, calls an API, and may trigger a workflow. The login tells you the agent is “trusted”.

After Mythos: What Cyber Insurers Should Actually Be Asking

One issue we keep hearing from insurance underwriters and portfolio managers is some version of the same question: how do you price a risk that can change between bind and the very next day? The steady stream of headlines about Claude Mythos is the latest reason why this question comes up, but it isn’t really all about Mythos. Frontier AI is collapsing the gap between vulnerability disclosure and weaponized exploit, and the numbers are no longer subtle.

The biggest security risks facing financial institutions in 2026

Financial institutions are spending more on security than they were five years ago. They have more security tools, invest more in training, have more policies in place and report on security more regularly. That sounds positive, but it does not automatically make them more secure. One of the biggest challenges for security leaders is deciding where to focus. New vulnerabilities, threat reports and regulatory requirements appear all the time. With so much competing for attention, it can be difficult to separate genuine priorities from the latest headline.

Protecting Sensitive Documents from Digital Threats

In our increasingly digital lives, we handle a vast number of documents, from personal financial statements and contracts to sensitive business reports. We often focus on securing our networks and devices, but the security of the documents themselves is frequently overlooked. Protecting these files from digital threats isn't just an IT department's problem; it's a personal responsibility for anyone creating, sharing, or storing information.

How AI-leading Security Teams Are Building the Agentic SOC

AI-enabled attacks move faster than human analysts can track, at a scale that traditional SOCs weren’t designed to withstand. eCrime breakout times collapsed to 29 minutes on average in 2025, with the fastest clocked at 27 seconds. The rise of frontier AI models is expected to compress the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation, intensifying pressure on SOC teams. Defending against AI-accelerated adversaries requires a new operating model.

The Four Attack Patterns Traditional Security Tools Miss at FIFA-Scale Events

Every major tournament cycle, ticketing platforms brace for a traffic spike. Most security teams plan for volume. The attack data tells a different story: the traffic that does the most damage isn’t the loudest traffic. It’s the traffic that looks like a real fan, on a real device, doing something a real fan would plausibly do, just millions of times, in a pattern no single fan ever would.
