News for today:
- Managed AI services for model agnostic adoption. Thrive expanded its Managed AI Services with the AI Adoption Model and a Managed AI Workspace, to simplify / streamline AI adoption while paying attention to all the important things. Thrive’s new Managed AI Workspace provides secure access to all 58 major AI models in a single managed environment, allowing organizations to gain flexibility without sacrificing governance. Instead of locking into one ecosystem or managing multiple vendors independently, teams can select the models that best align to their workflows. When combined with centralized oversight and guardrails, that flexibility drives higher confidence, smoother adoption, and long-term, sustainable AI usage. Thrive
- Unified email security with shared threat signals. Mimecast announced that its email security protection stack is available for API deployment (previously only for gateway deployment), offering a full detection stack for email not just for targeted, sophisticated attacks. Organizations can deploy via API or maintain MX-based architecture, with identical detection capabilities across both options. The API deployment is designed to integrate directly with Microsoft 365 in minutes, enabling organizations to test and validate protection without infrastructure changes. Regardless of deployment model, Mimecast connects directly with more than 350 security vendors across the customer security stack, spanning endpoint, XDR, SIEM, SOAR, data protection, threat intelligence and identity. Threat signals captured at the email layer flow automatically into the tools security teams already rely on, eliminating alert silos and accelerating response. Organizations gain immediate value from their existing investments in platforms like CrowdStrike, Okta, Palo Alto Networks and many others. Mimecast
- From password management to secure access. LastPass took a swing to level up from password management to offering wider secure access capabilities, with shadow app and compromised credential detection. Available for both businesses and individuals. LastPass now goes beyond passwords to address the risks of browser‑based work and unsanctioned SaaS and AI. That foundation enables Secure Access Essentials, allowing app and AI discovery, access control, and secure sign-ins in one solution that works where people already work — the browser. LastPass
- More on the new Cohesity Enterprise AI Resilience strategy. Cohesity announced a series of updates that complement its enterprise AI resilience strategy, including sovereign cloud partnerships (in France and Canada), enhanced threat detection (across cloud and appliances), and simplified packaging. As organizations operationalize AI, security and recovery must evolve to address new risks, including those introduced by AI tools and agents. Cohesity is enhancing threat detection and recovery capabilities to help organizations detect malicious activity early, support agent resilience, and restore systems to a known good state. Cohesity
- New autonomous defensive AI agent for email security. AegisAI announced Vanguard, a new AI agent for strengthening email security. AegisAI already deploys AI agents inside the inbox to catch attacks that slip past conventional filters. Vanguard extends those agents beyond the inbox. When an inbox agent flags a suspicious link or attachment, Vanguard follows it, navigating the open web just as a user would, to reach the actual malicious destination, whether it’s a phishing page, a dangerous document, or a credential-harvesting form. It then delivers a complete threat report in minutes. AegisAI
