Weekly security intelligence for SMBs. Top threats, quick hits, and one action to take now.
Thoughts on safe autonomy, engineering automation, and reducing cognitive overhead without putting your systems at risk.

The 12-factor-agents spec never says security out loud — yet owning your context window is DLP, a structured tool schema is your authorization point, and a human-contact tool call is your approval gate. Reliability and security are the same seams read twice.

Anthropic's Project Glasswing deployed Claude Mythos Preview to autonomously discover thousands of zero-days with a 72.4% exploit success rate. Less than 1% of findings have been patched. The bottleneck is no longer discovery — it's everything that comes after.
