The security detail matters more than the headline.
AI Agents Are Creating a New Layer of Cybersecurity Spending - Decrypt In brief Akamai launched Agent Sandbox and Akamai Inference in beta on Oct. A 2026 Palo Alto Networks survey of 2,930 security leaders found 109 machine identities per human, 79 of them AI agents. AI-focused cloud service provider Akamai launched a sandbox for AI agents on Tuesday, a sealed environment where code an agent writes can run without touching the rest of a company's systems. One fake documentation page told agents to pay a $3 "license fee" in about 0.0012 Ethereum to a hardcoded wallet, and four of the 26 models Zscaler tested complied. Cisco announced a planned acquisition of Astrix Security in May, a firm that governs the keys and tokens agents use, and completed the deal June 29.
