How a major acquisition is reshaping the AI IT automation landscape
Palo Alto Networks' $500 million acquisition of Thrive-backed Console signals a clear verdict: consolidation is here, and scale matters. The deal leaves Sequoia-backed Serval as the de facto leader in AI IT service automation, a position earned through focus, not fortune. We see this as a healthy shakeout. For teams tired of piecing together fragile workflows, this move validates a simpler path forward. Curious how AI reshapes job expectations?

Multi-turn attacks expose the blind spot in AI red-teaming programs
Cisco's multi-turn attack study should end the illusion that single-shot red teaming tells you anything about your AI agents. When 15 flagship models were hit with 6,986 adaptive, conversational attacks, attackers broke through 88.3% of the time. That's not an edge case. It's the default. Single-turn testing didn't just miss the risk; it ranked models in a completely different order than multi-turn testing did. If you're still testing agents like they're static code, you're not testing at all.
