- The new cybersecurity threat: Why AI agents are the wild card in enterprise security
Most cybersecurity discussions over the past decade have focused on scale. More users, more devices, more data moving across systems. AI agents introduce a different kind of problem. They don’t just process requests. They interpret inputs, make decisions, and sometimes take action across systems. In enterprise settings, that can include internal tools, data, and workflows.

- Meta says goodbye to those who won’t use AI
Meta is the latest company to trim its workforce as a result of the growing use of AI within the industry. The company laid off 8,000 employees earlier this week, while also moving 7,000 more to AI-focused roles. “AI is the most consequential technology of our lifetimes,” Zuckerberg said in a memo that he sent to employees, informing them of the cuts. “The companies that lead the way will define the next generation,” he added. The company has not revealed too much detail of the changes in the workforce, but it’s clear that jobs focused on AI infrastructure will be protected. Meta is not alone in announcing cuts. In a blog this month, Cisco said it was cutting 4,000 jobs and Microsoft is looking at inciting employees to take voluntary retirement for the first time. The Meta reorganization is following the trend that businesses that don’t adapt to AI usage will struggle. Earlier this year, PwC US CEO Paul Griggs caused consternation when he suggested that executives who failed to get to

The Swiss developer of a giant underground battery system beneath a new data centre complex has given a boost to UK battery maker Invinity Energy Systems, as the quest for ways to power the AI boom steps up. Privately held Swiss group FlexBase, which is building the complex at Laufenburg on the German border, selected Invinity for its vanadium flow batteries to provide 1.5 gigawatt-hours of storage. This is equivalent to storing enough electricity to supply about 200,000 typical UK homes for a day, in what is expected to become one of the world’s largest flow battery installations. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, vanadium flow batteries store energy in liquid electrolytes held in external tanks rather than in the battery cells themselves. The battery system is intended both to smooth volatile electricity demand from AI computing and provide stabilisation services to the grid, reflecting growing efforts by data centres to present themselves as flexible power users rather than a source ...

Microsoft is testing the addition of agentic AI to its corporate browser, Edge for Business .

Agentic AI will help with completing multi-step tasks such as filling in forms, navigating sites, or gathering information from different tabs, all using enterprise-managed tools, the company said. And a new tab page will pull together calendar entries, files and Copilot prompts, reducing the need to switch between tools, it said. A key feature of the new browser version will be its ability to protect corporate data. Enterprises will be able to block the use of copy and paste, and all AI prompts and responses will stay within their Microsoft 365 tenant and will not be used to train models, the company said.
