International AI Safety Report 2026: What It Means for Autonomous AI Systems

Feb 9, 2026 By Dania Durnas In Aikido
The International AI Safety Report 2026 is one of the most comprehensive overviews to date of the risks posed by general-purpose AI systems. It’s compiled by over 100 independent experts from more than 30 countries, and shows that while AI systems are performing at levels that seemed like science fiction only a few years ago, the risks of misuse, malfunction, and systematic and cross-border harms are clear. It makes a compelling case for better evaluation, transparency, and guardrails.

AI Agents Are The New Detection Problem Nobody Designed For

Feb 9, 2026 By Exabeam In Exabeam
AI agents now operate as core identities in enterprise environments, authenticating, accessing data, and executing workflows at machine speed. Their flexibility and scale introduce a detection challenge traditional security models were never built to solve. Exabeam has seen this pattern before with insider threat and workload identities. AI agents accelerate the need for identity-centric detection.

Why identity security is foundational for crypto agility in the post-quantum era

Feb 9, 2026 By Nicolas Malbranche In CyberArk
Cryptographic failures have a knack for turning a quiet weekend into a chaotic, all-hands-on-deck emergency. Consider the SHA-1 to SHA-2 deprecation, sometimes referred to as “Shapocalypse,” which sent teams scrambling to reissue thousands of certificates and exposed how many legacy systems weren’t ready for stronger hash algorithms. The major Certificate Authority (CA) distrust events involving DigiNotar in 2011, Symantec in 2017-18, and Entrust in 2024-25 created similar disruption.

Navigating the IT Maze

Feb 9, 2026 By Brad Gerlach In 11:11 Systems
Growth is the ultimate goal for almost every business. For many long-established organizations, the quickest path to that goal is through acquisition. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) open doors to new markets, new capabilities, and new revenue streams. However, for the IT teams responsible for integrating these new entities, the reality is often less about celebration and more about survival.

IT Giveth, Security Taketh: The Hidden Cost of Configuration Drift

Feb 9, 2026 By Reach Security In Reach Security

Feb 9, 2026 By Micah Kim In Datadog
Many DevOps and security teams rely on ServiceNow CMDB (Configuration Management Database) as the system of record for metadata about infrastructure assets, application and service ownership, and dependencies.

Managed EDR: How It Works, Where It Delivers Value, and Where It Falls Short

Feb 9, 2026 By SafeAeon Inc. In SafeAeon
Endpoint threats no longer appear with warning signs. They now blend into normal activity, making detection difficult. Once inside, these threats move quietly across systems without being noticed. By the time security teams notice them, damage is already done. This shift has led to the rise of Endpoint Detection and Response. But EDR alone was not sufficient in many cases. This is when Managed EDR was introduced to fill that gap.
