News for today:
- [Menlo Security] A better MARS today. Menlo Security added new capabilities to its agent runtime security offering, e.g., prompt injection stripping, hidden instruction removal, file sanitisation. Autonomous agents and coding agents run on the endpoint or in the cloud, and they reach the web and files through MARS (Menlo Agent Runtime Security). MARS runs that web activity in the Menlo Cloud and cleans the pages and files, including downloads and uploads, before the agent sees them, so an agent only ever acts on a sanitized version of what it requested. This prevents attacks rather than detecting them after the damage. Menlo Security
