The Role of Agentic AI in Cybersecurity

Sep 10, 2026 By Michael Callahan In Salt Security
Agentic AI has moved from experimental research to live production environments at unprecedented speed, outpacing nearly every technology security leaders have encountered in recent history. Distinguishing themselves from standard chatbots that merely respond and pause, autonomous agents architect multi-step workflows, interface with tools and APIs, maintain contextual memory, and execute operations with minimal human intervention.

Ten Years, Two Photos, and One Bet That Got Much Bigger

Sep 3, 2026 By Roey Eliyahu In Salt Security
These two photos were taken almost ten years apart. The first is from 2016, with Sam Altman at Y Combinator. The second came from an unexpected encounter in Silicon Valley almost a decade later. I’ll come back to it at the end. With Sam Altman at Y Combinator in 2016. I was 22 when I arrived in Silicon Valley on a one-way ticket, with a little bit of cash that was barely enough for one month of living there, and a thesis I wanted to prove.

Secure What Agents Do, Not Just What They Say

Aug 31, 2026 By Michael Callahan In Salt Security
Salt Security and CrowdStrike give joint customers visibility across the full agentic path, from the model to the system where the action lands An employee at a bank asks an AI assistant a routine question. How much money is in my savings account? The assistant answers correctly. The prompt was legitimate. The response was accurate. A model-layer security control inspects both and finds nothing wrong, because nothing is wrong with either. Now look at what happened in between.

Secure AI Written Code Before It Ships: Salt Code

Aug 20, 2026 By Salt Security In Salt Security
AI coding assistants are transforming how enterprise software gets built. Developers at every level are prompting their way to production-ready APIs, MCP integrations, and agentic workflows faster than any security team can review them. The problem is that none of those assistants knows your internal security standards, regulatory obligations, or risk tolerance. The result is insecure patterns shipping unnoticed, vulnerabilities discovered downstream when fixes are costly, and compliance becoming a guessing game on every commit.

What is Security Posture Management and Why is it Important?

Aug 20, 2026 By Michael Callahan In Salt Security
Modern organizations don't operate from a single server room anymore. Today's enterprise environment spans dozens of cloud services, SaaS applications, APIs, AI agents, and non-human identities, all of which are continuously changing. A quarterly security audit is no longer a safety net, but now considered a gap.

Guide to Agentic AI Governance

Aug 6, 2026 By Michael Callahan In Salt Security
Agentic AI governance is about keeping powerful, autonomous AI systems aligned, safe, and accountable as they act on our behalf. It’s now a certainty that AI agents will be deployed enterprise-wide. So, we need to look more deeply into those agents, figure out where they are, how to find them, and fully understand what they are doing in deployment so we can prevent attacks. The most dangerous agentic attacks will not look like attacks at the layer where they originate.

Salt Debuts First AWS WAF Managed Ruleset for AI Agent and API Protection

Aug 4, 2026 By Michael Callahan In Salt Security
Your WAF is doing its job. It's blocking SQLi, XSS, and the usual suspects. But here's the problem: it wasn't built for APIs, and it definitely wasn't built for AI agents. APIs now power nearly every digital experience. And AI agents — the automated systems that access your APIs at machine speed, at machine scale — are the fastest-growing source of that traffic.

Top Security Risks of AI Agents

Jul 30, 2026 By Michael Callahan In Salt Security
AI agents are rapidly moving from experimental projects into everyday business operations. Unlike traditional AI systems that generate content or answer questions, AI agents can take action. They can call APIs, access applications, retrieve data, execute workflows, and make decisions with limited human intervention. That shift is creating a new security challenge for enterprises.
