AI Agents Broke the Security Playbook. Here's What Replaces It.

Traditional security workflows were built for environments that changed at human speed. Token Security explains why AI agents require a new approach: building on a live identity foundation while giving security teams the flexibility to create workflows tailored to their own environments. [...]

Your Agent Trusts That Wiki. Should It?

We were building a DevOps agent to help with on-call remediation. The idea was straightforward: when an incident fires, the agent reads the relevant runbook from our internal wiki, assesses the situation, and executes the appropriate remediation steps. No waiting for an engineer to wake up at 3 am, find the right page, and manually run through a checklist. The agent had the context, the tools, and the access it needed to act. It needed elevated privileges to do the job. Restarting services, scal

Demystifying AI Exploits: A Blueprint for AI-Assisted Vulnerability Management

Written by: Jules Czarniak Introduction  As highlighted in the Mandiant M-Trends 2026 report, the mean time-to-exploit (TTE) has dropped to -7 days, meaning vulnerabilities are often exploited a week before a patch even exists.  To keep pace, many security teams are exploring how to integrate large language model (LLM) agents into their codebases, development environments and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for automated vulnerability discovery and remediation.

On Enterprise instances configured to trust more than one external token issuer, it matched an incoming JWT to a local user on the sub claim alone and ignored iss. A valid token from issuer A carrying a sub that belongs to someone under issuer B logged you in as them. Their password never

The Archaeologist’s Copilot

When people think of legacy modernization, most folks aren't imagining the target environment will be Java 8. But this was the challenge facing Nik Malykhin when he needed to run a Java 1.5 codebase on today's hardware. His early use of LLMs gave plausible answers that did not hold up in the codebase. Progress came when he grounded the process in evidence, using AI to support analysis, validation in a stable Docker environment, and gradual refactoring protecte
