Several steps can be taken to alleviate high levels of risk, and of these, the ones that stand out for consideration include agent identity, comprehensive logs, policy checks, human oversight, rapid revocation, the availability of documentation from vendors, and the formulation of evidence for presentation to regulators. There are several options decision makers can consider that will help create the record of activities undertaken by agentic systems. For example, a Python SDK (software development kit), Asqav, can sign each agent’s action cryptographically and link all records to an immutable hash chain – the type of technique that’s more associated with…

New Israeli air strikes have killed more people in southern Lebanon a day after 200 people died, as the bombardment raises further doubts over the fragile United States-Iran ceasefire that Tehran says includes Lebanon.Lebanon’s National News Agency reported on Thursday that an Israeli strike on the town of Abbassiyeh killed at least seven people and wounded several others, with the total expected to rise.Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of listA wave of attacks by Israeli warplanes struck towns, including Kafra, Jmaijmeh, Safad al-Battikh, Majdal Selm and Deir Antar near Qasmiyeh bridge.

A new open-source toolkit from Microsoft focuses on runtime security to force strict governance onto enterprise AI agents. The release tackles a growing anxiety: autonomous language models are now executing code and hitting corporate networks way faster than traditional policy controls can keep up.AI integration used to mean conversational interfaces and advisory copilots. Those systems had read-only access to specific datasets, keeping humans strictly in the execution loop. Organisations are currently deploying agentic frameworks that take independent action, wiring these models directly into internal application programming interfaces, cloud storage repositories, and continuous integration pipelines.When an autonomous agent can read an…

It’s not clear under what legal authority Trump can tack on this tariff, and analysts called it an ’empty threat’.Published On 8 Apr 20268 Apr 2026United States President Donald Trump has said imports from countries supplying Iran with military weapons will face immediate 50 percent tariffs with no exemptions, announcing the threatened duty in a social media post just hours after agreeing to a two-week ceasefire with Tehran.Trump’s Truth Social post on Wednesday did not specify which legal authority he would invoke to impose such tariffs, as the Supreme Court in February struck down his use of the International Emergency Economic…

Trust in agentic AI, however, is improving. OutSystems reports that 73% of respondents express either high or moderate trust in letting agents to act autonomously, a rise of around 10% compared to a similar survey the company undertook last year. Trust in code or workflows generated by third-party AI tools is slightly lower, at 67%, a substantial increase from the prior year’s figure, when only 40% ‘mostly trusted’ generative AI to write code without human help. Only 36% of respondents say they have a centralised approach to AI governance, while 64% say they lack such a facility, and 41% rely…

A two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran has halted 40 days of US-Israeli attacks on Iran that had pushed the region to the brink of a wider war.The truce, brokered by Pakistan, follows fierce exchanges of air strikes, missile attacks and threats that saw unprecedented strikes on Gulf nations, disrupted global shipping routes and heightened fears of a prolonged confrontation.Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list“Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability,” Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif posted on X, while announcing the…

The failure mode for enterprise AI in 2026 is not what most people expected. It is not that the models are wrong, or that agents cannot reason, or that the technology is overhyped. The failure mode is that the data feeding those systems is fragmented, inconsistently labelled, and spread across dozens of applications that were never designed to share context. Boomi calls this the agentic AI data activation problem, and after tracking 75,000 AI agents running in production across its customer base, the company says solving it comes before everything else. That figure comes from February, when Boomi reported its strongest momentum to date: more than 30,000 customers globally, 75,000…

Tehran, Iran – United States President Donald Trump says daily life could be different for more than 90 million Iranians on Wednesday, after his deadline for Tehran to back down and agree to a deal expires. Trump says that Iran’s electricity, bridges, and other critical infrastructure will be bombed, despite the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure being a violation of international law.In the last hours before the 8pm US Eastern Time (23:00 GMT) deadline approaches, Iranians are left to worry about the consequences of attacks that Trump has threatened would be the death of “a whole civilisation“.Recommended Stories list of…

Exciting times are ahead in the world of enterprise perimeter security with a new partnership between Thrive Logic, an AI agent-driven security and operational intelligence platform, and Asylon, a security robotics company. Together, the companies are to introduce physical AI into the network edge security arena, combining “autonomous perimeter patrols with agentic AI analytics and automated incident workflows.” The goal is to reduce response friction and let security leaders report with confidence in high-security exterior zones.Physical AI understands real-world situations and is capable of responding actively via a continuous, mobile security presence. This is in comparison to merely recording events…

A workers’ union at the World Cup venue has asked FIFA to keep ICE agents away from the venue to alleviate their fears.Published On 7 Apr 20267 Apr 2026A union representing about 2,000 food service workers at the Los Angeles Stadium has asked FIFA to keep United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) away from World Cup operations in the city and warned ⁠workers could strike if their concerns are not addressed.Unite Here Local 11, which represents cooks, servers and bartenders at the Inglewood venue, said on Monday that the workers ⁠remain without a labour contract as the World Cup…
