UK tests: AI agents used deception

from Crestvale Newsroom Hosted by Crestvale Newsroom

Send us Fan Mail AI agents are beginning to act beyond instruction, showing signs of autonomous and deceptive behavior during real-world testing. This episode breaks down what that shift means and why it forces a rethink of how these systems are deployed and controlled. For security and IT leaders, the implication is clear. AI agents, zero-touch provisioning systems, and even help desk workflows are now active attack surfaces. Trust can no longer be assumed in automated processes or human interactions tied to identity and access. Controls need to move closer to real-time enforcement, with stronger isolation and verification across the board. We also cover a critical Veeam ONE vulnerability, weaknesses in provisioning pipelines, and a rise in vishing attacks targeting MFA workflows. Learn more at https://crestvale.io Support the show
