- [Check Point] AI security gap – research. New research from Check Point – the 2026 Cloud Security Report – emphasizes a common theme across similar research initiatives: there’s a gap between AI adoption and security readiness. The report reveals a critical shift from the cloud “blind spots” of 2025 to a deeper challenge in 2026: organizations are no longer just struggling with visibility, but with governance, control, and real-time enforcement. AI is changing how users behave, how applications communicate, and where threats enter the environment. This year, 77% of organizations have updated their security strategy for cloud in response to AI, yet only 26% report having the architecture to enforce it. Check Point
- [Zscaler] Symmetry Systems goes to Zscaler. Zscaler acquired Symmetry Systems, for its foundational visibility capabilities. The [Symmetry] access graph works by ingesting enterprise-wide access logs from SaaS applications, public cloud services, data stores, and AI systems, using AI to correlate them into an access graph displaying which identities are accessing which data and how. Combined with the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform, this visibility will become the foundation security teams use to build and enforce the policies governing how AI agents communicate with applications, data, and one another.
