An AI-focused holding company just bought one of the best-known names in home security, and the real question is what AI does once it lives inside people's front doors.

A contractor reportedly handed a personal coding agent admin credentials on a Pentagon network for two months. The failure here is human and institutional, and it is exactly the agent risk security experts warned about.

Check Point cutting vulnerability research from hours to minutes is the defensive case for frontier cyber models, and it raises the bar for keeping humans in charge.

Greptile is betting that AI-written code now ships faster than humans can test it, so it is pointing computer-use agents at apps to break them before users do.

Anthropic's IPO filing says the quiet part plainly: its growth runs on methane-fired power, and the warming that fuel drives is also a cost on its own balance sheet.

CodeRabbit is using GPT-6.1 Sol to look for security problems across whole codebases, not just single changes, and the human sign-off it keeps in place is the part we'd protect.

OpenAI says a faster Codex mode changed how its own engineers fight outages, and the real story is that speed changes what people are willing to hand to an agent.
Anthropic is handing critical open-source projects free frontier-model security audits, and the catch is that the reports reach maintainers before any human at Anthropic has checked them.

OpenAI is widening its circle of government safety partners to Poland, and the most interesting part is the router bugs Polish defenders already found with its models.

AI found two critical PHP flaws hiding since 2004 before attackers did, and that same AI is why the patch race now matters so much.

NVIDIA wants to move agent security off the server and into a separate chip the agent cannot touch. That is the right instinct, even if it arrives next year.

Cloudflare is tying AI bug-hunting to what its network actually sees in live traffic, which is the right way to make an endless alert stream actionable.
