When the buyer is a bot, fraud detection must learn to see new patterns.
Mastercard spent decades training its fraud system to see bots as thieves. Now those same bots are the buyers, and the company's risk framework is being rewritten to let them in. Greg Ulrich, chief AI and data officer, told the VB Transform 2026 audience that enabling agents to transact requires changing rules built to block them. That shift touches identity, intent, and trust, layers Mastercard is rebuilding as it scores 175 billion transactions a year.
Roll back Kubernetes upgrades with a seven-day safety net
Upgrading a Kubernetes cluster should feel like progress, not a gamble. Amazon EKS now lets you roll back the control plane to its previous version within seven days of an upgrade, giving teams a practical safety net when issues surface. That window turns a risky leap into a manageable step. It's a straightforward acknowledgment that even well-tested updates can go sideways. For practitioners tired of crossing their fingers during upgrades, this is a welcome layer of control.
