Enterprise AI Cybersecurity Stack
OpenAI says its Astra model now crosses a critical cyber threshold, and Palo Alto’s CEO warns that $1 trillion of cybersecurity infrastructure isn’t ready for AI, even as Palo Alto reports strong AI demand. Reports show attackers targeting X accounts, an FBI probe into a service selling 153M+ drivers’ licenses, researchers losing program access, and Anthropic changing data-retention rules.
