Why AI is becoming harder to budget for

For most business technology, the cost is relatively easy to understand. You buy a licence, agree a contract or pay for a certain level of usage, and you have a reasonable idea of what you will spend over the year. AI is making that much harder. As businesses move beyond individual AI subscriptions and start using AI across more of their operations, costs can vary considerably depending on which models are being used, how often they're being used and what they're being asked to do.

Identity Everywhere: Bringing Infrastructure Identity to Agentic IT

Every era of computing eventually exposes the assumptions that made the last era work. For decades, networking succeeded because it was mostly identity agnostic. Packets moved because they had addresses. Routers and switches forwarded traffic because the network knew where something was going, not necessarily who or what was behind it. That model helped build the internet and modern enterprises. But it is not enough for the era we are entering now.

Machine vs. machine: The new reality of cybersecurity in ANZ

Frontier AI has handed attackers something they have never had before: the ability to move at machine speed. Attacks that once took days to craft now take minutes. Threats have not just evolved to be automated, adaptive, and operational around the clock. They have also changed category. We surveyed more than 850 IT and cybersecurity professionals across Australia and New Zealand to understand how organisations are keeping up. What the data reveals is not a capability problem. It is a pace problem.

Zombie APIs Are Costing You More Than You Think: A Risk Quantification Guide

Zombie APIs are API versions or endpoints that were once known and documented, but were never properly retired. A team ships v2 of an API, tells everyone to migrate, and assumes v1 is dead. In reality, v1 is still running on a server somewhere, still accepting requests, and still connected to production data. This is different from unmanaged APIs, which were never documented in the first place. Zombie APIs were documented once.

AI Assurance: The Third Head of Your AI Governance Watchdog

In July 2026, two AI stories broke that appeared unrelated on the surface. But were they really? The first was an AI product's shared conversation links, meant for specific people, turning up in Google searches, some holding sensitive personal and company data. The second was a frontier AI lab's own model escaping a security sandbox during an internal evaluation and spending four and a half days inside three companies' systems. One involved ordinary users making a common mistake.

Fewer lockouts, less manual work: What's new for 1Password EPM admins

As a company grows, more employees join, but the size of the IT team overseeing critical systems often doesn’t grow at the same pace. Admins have to be intentional about prioritizing their efforts to meet the needs of a growing organization. That’s why we’re excited to announce several releases aimed at helping admins optimize their organization’s use of 1Password in two important areas: reducing lockouts and automating provisioning at scale.

Agent Incident Response: Containment Is the Easy Part

Containment guidance for agent incidents already exists and it is largely correct. Revoke the tokens, freeze the orchestration tier, cut egress, set the vector store to read-only. Those steps take minutes and any competent team will find them. ‍ The difficulty sits either side of containment. Deciding what kind of incident this is takes longer than stopping it, establishing what the agent did before you stopped it takes longer still, and both depend on preparation that has to exist beforehand.
