The tools themselves are new and their capabilities are in constant flux. If your kitchen knife kept changing shape, weight, and edge, you’d have to relearn it every time; that’s a hard tool to build trust in. But it also points to a flaw in how you use that tool, the process around it, and the way the tool reinforces the process.
AI agents are designed to improvise as they complete tasks, making broad permissions a growing security risk. Token Security explains why identity, intent-based access controls, and least privilege are becoming the foundation for securing agentic AI. [...]
We’re introducing a global default enablement policy for generally available Copilot models on Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise plans. Instead of requiring admins to manually turn on each new model… The post Default model enablement for Copilot Business and Enterprise appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
Scan your internal subnets for ports 7860, 3000, and 5678. If you find anything listening on these ports, you may have unmanaged AI infrastructure worth investigating immediately. When I audited agent infrastructure at a large enterprise, we discovered unauthorized AI builder instances holding production database credentials that no one on the security team knew existed. A Cloud Security Alliance survey released April 21 found that 82% of enterprises have unknown AI agents running in their infra
