Where AI Labs Are Likely and Unlikely to Disrupt Cybersecurity
Foundation Capital partner Sid Trivedi says AI labs are expanding into application security, but three structural barriers will keep them from easily entering certain cybersecurity markets. He argues those harder-to-enter areas are where the next wave of durable security companies will be built.
AI vs. AI: The Future of Cyber Defense
AI is speeding up both cyberattacks and defensive responses, turning cybersecurity into an AI-versus-AI contest. Segura’s Joe Carson argues that agentic AI should be used as a force multiplier to improve cyber resilience rather than replace people, and that organizations need responsible ways to deploy autonomous agents, drawing on lessons from Estonia.
AI Agents Are Changing Enterprise Cybersecurity Risk
As AI shifts from simple assistants to autonomous agents, enterprises are exposed to new cybersecurity risks tied to non-human identities and an expanding attack surface. Menlo Ventures partner Rama Sekhar argues that organizations need better visibility and governance over these agents, along with AI-powered remediation, to manage and reduce the emerging threats.
Disney Drops Planned $1 Billion OpenAI Investment After Sora Is Shut Down
Disney has abandoned a planned $1 billion investment and three-year licensing arrangement tied to OpenAI’s Sora video tool after OpenAI abruptly discontinued Sora shortly after a Disney-OpenAI meeting, leaving Disney’s team and even some Sora staff surprised. Sources say the deal never closed and no money changed hands, though the companies are still discussing potential alternative partnerships. The collapse eases internal and external concerns about IP protection, union backlash, and talent approvals, while also highlighting Hollywood’s dependence on unpredictable tech decisions even as Disney says it remains interested in responsible AI collaborations.
Regional powers to meet in Pakistan to discuss ending fighting in the Middle East
Regional powers will meet in Islamabad on Sunday to discuss ending fighting in the Middle East, as about 2,500 U.S. Marines arrive in the region and Iran-backed Houthi forces join the monthlong conflict. Pakistan says Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt will send top diplomats, with Egypt pushing for direct U.S.-Iran dialogue. The escalation is disrupting oil and gas markets, global shipping and air travel, with risks around the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb. Israel and the United States continue strikes on Iran, Iran is launching retaliatory attacks, and more than 3,000 people have been killed amid widening violence including drone interceptions in Kuwait and attacks near U.S. sites in Iraq.
US develops plans for possible ground operations in Iran as Trump sends thousands of Marines to the Middle East
Pentagon officials have prepared options for ground operations in Iran that could last weeks, as additional US soldiers and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit arrive in the Middle East amid escalating strikes. Plans under discussion reportedly include special forces raids and limited infantry missions, including a possible seizure of Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export terminal, and strikes near the Strait of Hormuz. The White House said planning does not mean a decision has been made, while senior officials have suggested US goals could be met without deploying ground troops, and military analysts warned such operations would carry significant risks and could raise US casualties.
