VentureBeat names Rob Strechay as its first Lead Analyst, expanding its enterprise AI research push
VentureBeat significantly expands its enterprise AI research capabilities with the appointment of Rob Strechay as its first Lead Analyst. Strechay, formerly of theCUBE Research, brings three decades of experience across practitioner, executive, and analyst roles, uniquely positioning him to address the critical data needs of technical decision-makers. His focus will initially encompass cloud infrastructure, data infrastructure, and AI security, complementing VentureBeat’s VB Pulse surveys—including recent findings on agentic orchestration—to provide objective insights for navigating the evolving AI landscape.
Four of five enterprises that secured AI agent identities still can't contain one that goes rogue
Recent VentureBeat research reveals a concerning gap in enterprise AI agent security. While 53% have already experienced an agentic security incident, and a majority (92%) rely on provider-native controls, only a fraction isolate their highest-risk agents. Visa's internal testing with Anthropic's Mythos exposed vulnerabilities, highlighting the need for proactive containment. This underscores a critical point: simply assigning identities isn't enough to prevent rogue agents – a lesson echoed by incidents at Meta and CrowdStrike.
Agentic security: Enterprises enforce agent permissions two-thirds of the time — and isolate high-risk agents less than one in five
Across 116 enterprises, AI agents are now in production, and so too are the associated security incidents—with over half reporting a confirmed event or near-miss. While two-thirds enforce scoped permissions and 56% monitor activity, a concerning gap exists: fewer than one in five isolate high-risk agents. This containment deficit, coupled with persistent credential sharing, highlights a critical vulnerability as AI-armed attackers are perceived as equally or more capable than current defenses.
Multi-turn attacks broke AI models 88% of the time — single-turn testing missed it, Cisco AI security lead warns at VB Transform 2026
Recent research reveals a concerning vulnerability in AI models: multi-turn attacks exploit conversational adaptability, succeeding 88.3% of the time – a rate single-turn testing completely misses. Cisco’s AI security lead, Amy Chang, highlighted this critical finding at VB Transform 2026, emphasizing the need to move beyond snapshot evaluations. With over half of enterprises experiencing agent security incidents, robust, continuous testing mimicking real-world adversarial interactions is paramount. As Box's CISO Heather Ceylan stated, "You have to pressure test your agents."
