Netskope Inc

Western Canada Lottery Corporation is a non-profit organization that operates lottery products for Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and three northern territories. With 5,000 retail lottery terminal locations across one of the world’s largest and most geographically dispersed retail networks, WCLC set out to consolidate a fragmented multi-ISP infrastructure, cut multi-million dollar circuit costs, modernize employee and vendor access, and govern AI adoption, all on a single unified SASE platform.

Netskope Threat Labs has been tracking a cloud-hosted tech-support-scam (TSS) kit that hijacks a victim’s browser with a fake security alert and pressures them into calling a bogus support line, where the goal is to either extract payment for fake “support,” gain remote access, or collect personal and financial details. Victims arrive by clicking a […]

In May, an Israeli security firm called Irregular put Google’s Gemini through a capture-the-flag exercise, testing how well the model could find its way through systems belonging to fictional companies. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Gemini didn’t stay inside the exercise. Google has confirmed that, through an unintended connection to the open internet, the model reached three real […]

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc., one of Japan’s leading global financial groups, is advancing AI Transformation to create new value for customers and society by augmenting employee capabilities and transforming business processes. At the heart of this initiative is the group’s in-house development lab. As Mizuho Financial Group accelerated the development of AI agents at scale, it faced a critical challenge: balancing security with developer productivity. To address this, the group deployed Netskope in its in-house development environment, establishing a security foundation designed to address emerging risks in the age of AI agents. With ongoing operational support from Netskope, Mizuho Financial Group is building internal expertise and know-how while exploring opportunities to extend its use of Netskope to other environments across the organization.

With encouragement from the highest levels of government, federal agencies are creating thousands of AI use cases. As these use cases come online, agency leaders must ensure that the appropriate cybersecurity protections are in place to prevent AI tools from inadvertently exposing government data and infrastructure to malicious actors. The Office of Management and Budget […]

“Agents should not have agency.” So goes a quip I heard or read somewhere recently. As an admirer of pithy proverbs, I began to ponder why it feels so pertinent at present. During my exploration of agent security (or, ah, agent insecurity as it turns out) I encountered Simon Willison’s blog post “The lethal trifecta […]

In April 2026, an AI coding agent working for PocketOS, a SaaS platform for small car rental businesses, hit a credential mismatch during a routine task. Instead of asking a human what to do next, it found an API token in an unrelated file, with blanket authority across the company’s infrastructure, including the ability to […]

AI already runs inside your organization. It’s in the tools your teams open every day, the code your developers ship, and the agents starting to act without a person approving every step. According to the 2026 AI Risk and Readiness Report, AI is deployed in 73% of organizations, while only 7% have governance in place […]

On Saturday, Anthropic Co-Founder & CEO Dario Amodei published an essay asking the frontier AI labs to slow down. It is a serious piece of work from someone who has spent his career building this technology and thinking hard about what it could do, for good and for harm. Within a day, OpenAI CEO Sam […]

Retail security teams must address three questions. Firstly where does customer data live, and who can touch it? Next, would checkout survive a network failure, and finally, do AI agents operating inside guardrails can be inspected? For a single-store retailer with no cloud services on tap, the answer is straightforward. Customer information stays inside those […]
