Presented by Nutanix Autonomous systems that can reason, make their own decisions, and execute actions across an environment introduce a category of risk that application-level controls were never built to contain. Treating that risk as a single problem produces incomplete architectures, says Oscar Wahlberg, senior director of product management at Nutanix. "The guardrails to catch a malicious p

Consider an AI agent tasked with a complex enterprise workflow like migrating massive batches of customer records from a legacy CRM to a cloud database. The agent cannot rely solely on its internal context window for a job spanning hours and depends on the runtime layer, aka the harness. This harness provides execution feedback, like server logs, to help the agent maintain an accurate understandin

Presented by Gravitee Agent complexity is the insidious shadow lurking inside enterprises right now that needs a light shone on it. That’s because enterprises don't deploy a single agent and watch it run, they deploy fleets, each one calling APIs, calling other agents, reaching into applications that were never built with a machine decision-maker in mind. That's the failure mode that should keep

A security agent read a Cloudflare log, found an attacker’s prompt-injection payload sitting inside it, and rewrote the company’s DNS. The firewall had already blocked that payload, and blocking it is what wrote it into the log. That chain is GhostJacking, which Tenet Security demonstrated on the DEF CON 34 main stage on August 9. A request hits Cloudflare’s managed ruleset, gets blocked, and is s
