Pentagon Confirms Use of xAI's Grok in Iran Military Operations

An Ivanti survey of 3,900 employees across six countries reveals a critical governance gap in enterprise AI deployment: 85% of IT professionals claim every AI agent has a named owner, but only 42% say ownership is actually clear. Meanwhile, organizational leaders hide AI use at nearly twice the rate of other employees (42% versus 23%), often citing competitive advantage. Security leaders report detecting thousands of shadow AI applications operating across enterprise infrastructure, with inadequate controls and governance frameworks unable to keep pace.

NewCore has raised $66M to build identity and security infrastructure for AI agents operating as enterprise employees. The startup argues that managing AI agents, rather than people, will become the primary enterprise security challenge. The funding reflects growing recognition that AI systems need formal identity frameworks as they take on autonomous workplace roles.

The White House is unlikely to extend export restrictions on Anthropic's advanced AI models to other AI companies, according to a government official. The restrictions on Anthropic stemmed from the company's refusal to address vulnerabilities in its Fable 5 and Mythos models. This signals a narrow approach to export controls that targets specific companies rather than broad sectoral restrictions.

NanoClaw and JFrog have launched an integration that routes autonomous AI agents through vetted software registries to block malicious code downloads. The system acts as an automated immune system, intercepting compromised packages and guiding agents to approved alternatives. The partnership offers free access for open-source users and commercial licensing for enterprises, addressing a growing security gap as AI agents autonomously install packages without human oversight.
