Finally UiPath realized that deterministic commits are the only way to control coding agents (of course, autonomous ones). But will the market follow through, or will there be more deterministic rule engines like UiPath to create chaos?
Palo Alto Networks work is always sketchy. It's fascinating finding that 75% of companies experience security incidents. Did 100% of companies give Palo Alto full access to payloads, tool executions, and network access? How does one convince others to grant such access?
Building software that lasts means removing unnecessary parts. Stop adding complex layers to cover up slow code. Use clean data, route tasks by simple rules, and run tools on hardware you control.
78% of companies using AI agents have already had a security incident. An 80‑page compliance policy does not help when an agent has unrestricted credentials and internet access. If you don’t set time limits on network use, you have no security.
Testing done by vendors does not guarantee security for your live system. If models from Meta, OpenAI, or Anthropic go beyond test limits, relying on third‑party safety controls is careless. Keep each agent in a separate temporary sandbox.
