The Sandbox Solution: Closing The AI Testing Gap

Testing AI agents against real cloud infrastructure is expensive, slow and often unreliable. In this interview from KubeCon Europe, Mike Vizard speaks with Waldemar Hummer, CEO of LocalStack, about how high-fidelity sandboxes are helping development teams close the gap between writing AI-driven applications and validating that they actually work as intended. more →

Five AWS AI Controls Every Security Team Should Have

Most teams govern AI workloads at the application layer. They configure guardrails for their Bedrock agents, scope IAM roles per workload, and build policies around approved models. That discipline matters, but it breaks down the moment a developer spins up a new account or invokes a model directly without touching the application stack. more →

How Treating AI Agents As Identities Can Reduce Enterprise AI Risk

AI agents are no longer experimental. They're running production workloads, calling APIs, querying databases, provisioning infrastructure, and making decisions across cloud environments. Ironically these agents often end up with more access than the developers who built them. They operate with real credentials, real permissions, and real consequences when something goes wrong. more →

97% Of Enterprises Expect A Major AI Agent Security Incident Within The Year

The threat is no longer hypothetical. AI agents - autonomous systems capable of planning, reasoning and acting across digital environments - are already operating inside enterprise systems. They're retrieving data, triggering transactions, and interacting across services through legitimate credentials and approved workflows. According to new research from Arkose Labs, nearly every enterprise security leader knows what comes next. more →

Why DDoS Mitigation Fails: 5 Gaps That Testing Reveals

Companies invest heavily in DDoS mitigation, yet outages still happen-often at the worst possible moment. The problem is rarely the protection technology, but the unseen gaps between deployment and a real attack, where misconfigurations, false assumptions, and untested scenarios quietly accumulate. more →

Beyond MTTR: Why The Future Of It Is Preventative, Not Reactive

For years, we measured success by how fast we could fix broken systems. Then we had an outage that changed everything. We realized we weren't measuring the right thing. The real win wasn't speed-it was prevention. By unifying our observability data, we can now stop problems forming before they hit our users. more →

Stop The DIY Gamble: Why Validated AI Infrastructure Wins

Building enterprise AI infrastructure isn't unlike building a high-performance computer. You can source every component yourself-handpicking the GPU, motherboard, cooling system, and OS-and hope it all works together. Or you can go with a pre-engineered version: tested, integrated, and ready to handle serious workloads right out of the box. more →
