Identity sprawl meets agentic AI security push as SecurityBridge, 1Password and NIST scramble—while Trump immigration lawsuits, Warren credit-card cap talk, and a Utah prosecutor fight churn on
Identity sprawl is the new corporate hobby (and attackers love it)
Enterprises can still log people in, congrats. The problem is everything after that, identity lifecycles, visibility, and privilege management are increasingly out of sync. Orphaned accounts and unmanaged identities pile up like old cables in a drawer, expanding the attack surface and handing adversaries more seams to pry open.
SecurityBridge taps ex-Logpoint chief Jesper Zerlang to fix SAP security’s “we’ll get to it” problem
SecurityBridge named former Logpoint CEO Jesper Zerlang as CEO, with a plan to expand globally, push harder into the US, and move into more industry verticals. Zerlang’s core point is that SAP security remains a weak spot in many enterprise risk strategies, which is a polite way of saying “your crown jewels are guarded by vibes and legacy configs.”
NIST wants feedback on protecting agentic AI systems (before they go feral on federal networks)
NIST is asking security experts and stakeholders how to better protect agentic AI used across federal networks, government operations, and critical infrastructure. The agency flags risks like hijacking, backdoors, and misaligned behavior, and wants input on threats and safeguards, a refreshingly sober approach in a world that keeps shipping autonomy like it’s a free trial.
1Password leans into identity security for the agentic AI era, hires former AWS exec Nancy Wang as CTO
1Password appointed Nancy Wang (formerly at AWS) as chief technology officer to lead its AI security strategy. The company says autonomous agents are effectively a new class of identities that need management and protection, which is correct and also slightly terrifying if your current identity program is held together by quarterly audits and hope.
Minnesota and Twin Cities sue Trump administration over immigration enforcement surge
Minnesota, plus Minneapolis and St. Paul, sued the Trump administration to halt what they call an unprecedented surge of federal immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities. The suit names DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and DHS, ICE, and CBP officials and agencies, alleging militarized raids, racial profiling, warrantless arrests, and excessive force that have disrupted schools, businesses, and local public safety efforts. The case follows a fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman during a federal operation, with federal officials saying an agent fired in self-defense. DHS rejected the claims, accusing state and city leaders of obstructing enforcement and citing violent-crime convictions of some people it says local leaders have protected from removal.
Trump calls Elizabeth Warren, they float a bipartisan cap on credit card interest rates
Trump called Sen. Elizabeth Warren for the first time, and Warren said she is willing to work with him on a possible bipartisan push to cap credit card interest rates. This arrives despite Trump’s long history of attacking Warren and using the “Pocahontas” nickname over her past claims of Native American heritage, proving that in politics, yesterday’s insults are just tomorrow’s negotiation starter pack.
Utah prosecutors oppose bid to disqualify deputy prosecutor in Charlie Kirk shooting case
Prosecutors asked a judge to reject accused shooter Tyler Robinson’s request to disqualify a deputy prosecutor, despite the prosecutor’s 18-year-old child being in the crowd when Charlie Kirk was killed at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025. The state argues there is no conflict because the teen was one of thousands of witnesses, about 85 feet away with no line of sight, did not see the shooting or a weapon, and fled after hearing a loud sound. Prosecutors say texts sent minutes after show confusion and secondhand information, not firsthand involvement or lasting trauma that could bias decisions. Defense lawyers argue the family connection risks emotional influence and point to the state seeking the death penalty the day charges were filed, while prosecutors say that decision followed evidence and Utah law. A hearing is set for Jan. 16.
