How to build secure agent swarms that power autonomous systems in production

We worked with the Autonomy team to show how 1Password can secure agent swarms using a safer pattern: just-in-time, least-privilege access, without inheriting broad device, cloud, or infrastructure permissions, and without hardcoding secrets into agents.

PCI-DSS 4.0 Compliance in the Cloud: For Financial Services

Financial services firms handling payment card data just ran out of runway. As of March 31, '25, PCI-DSS 4.0 compliance is mandatory. The 64 new requirements that organizations could previously treat as best practices are now enforceable, and auditors are scrutinizing every control. According to Verizon’s 2024 Payment Security Report, only 14.3% of organizations achieved full PCI-DSS compliance during interim assessments. That means most firms are closing gaps while managing day-to-day operations.

Security Control Management: The New Mandate for Risk-Driven Security

Article updated and refreshed February 3rd, 2026. Because the tools you’ve deployed aren’t the same as the ones you’re using. Security teams today aren’t short on tools. Most environments are packed with security controls—spanning email, identity, network, endpoint, and cloud. But despite this abundance, risk remains stubbornly high. Attacks continue to land. Exposure persists. The problem isn’t the absence of controls. It’s the lack of control over the controls.

Ep 28: Stop being the 'no' department: How modern GRC enables growth

On this episode of Masters of Data, we sit down with Cassandra Mooseberger, Manager of Security Compliance at Sumo Logic, to unpack governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Cass breaks down her three-pillar framework: governance and compliance, risk management, and trust. She reveals how GRC teams can flip from cost center to sales enabler through trust pages, automated questionnaires, and proactive support. We explore practical strategies for working with engineering: listen first, understand before changing, and skip the "rip and replace" impulse.

Warning: A LinkedIn Phishing Campaign is Targeting Executives

A phishing campaign is abusing LinkedIn private messages to target executives and IT workers, according to researchers at ReliaQuest. The messages attempt to trick victims into opening an archive file, which will install a legitimate pentesting tool. “A critical element of this attack was the use of a legitimate, open-source Python script designed for pen-testing,” ReliaQuest says.

How to build secure agent swarms that power production-grade autonomous systems

If one autonomous agent is useful, it is natural to ask whether many agents working together could be dramatically more effective. Over the last few weeks, the AI community has been testing this idea in practice by running large numbers of agents in coordinated swarms. The early results are clear: swarms can be far more capable than individual agents, but only under the right conditions.

What Are Moltbot and Moltbook? Why the Agentic AI Frenzy Is a Security Trap

AI agents aren’t taking over. But agentic AI without security is a real problem. Over the last few days, Moltbot and its social platform Moltbook have surged across headlines and social media. Some are calling it a glimpse of artificial general intelligence. Others say AI agents are organizing themselves. That’s not what’s happening. In this video, SecurityScorecard’s Jeremy Turner, VP of Threat Intelligence & Research, breaks down what Moltbot actually is, why this isn’t AGI, and where the real danger lives.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Zero Trust Cybersecurity Frameworks

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer an experimental capability in cybersecurity; it is foundational to modern security operations. Organizations are operating in environments defined by cloud-first infrastructure, remote and hybrid workforces, SaaS sprawl, and identity-centric attack patterns. At the same time, threat actors increasingly rely on automation and AI to accelerate reconnaissance, credential abuse, and post-compromise activity.

ChatGPT Oopsies Series of Information - The 443 Podcast - Episode 356

This week on the podcast, we cover a Politico report detailing a security lapse at CISA in the United States involving sensitive data and a public version of ChatGPT. Next, we dive into a couple of recently resolved vulnerabilities in the SolarWinds Web Help Desk application. Finally, we end with some closure on a story about two Coalfire penetration testers who were arrested several years ago for completing a penetration test in Iowa.
