In a statement on Thursday, the social media company said its [Muse Spark model](https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-launches-muse-spark-1-1-cost-effective-ai-2026-7) "exploited a security vulnerability in a third-party service, in a manner similar to previously-reported instances with other companies."

Autonomous actors need new AI agent governance

### Agentic AI forces a reckoning on governance as autonomous actors enter production Enterprise cyber resilience company Rubrik Inc., which this week [unveiled Rubrik Agent Identity](https://siliconangle.com/2026/08/04/rubrik-unveils-agent-identity-govern-ai-agents-one-tool-call-time/) to govern agent access one tool call at a time, argues that agents demand an entirely new control layer. ### A new class of AI agent governance for autonomous actors An agent can pull data from Salesforce, then paste sensitive fields into an outbound email — each action authorized, the combination toxic. To avoid flooding humans with endless approvals, [Rubrik built SAGE](https://www.rubrik.com/company/newsroom/press-releases/26/rubrik-rolls-out-industrys-first-semantic-ai-governance-engine), a small language model trained to act as a cybersecurity professional that vets actions at machine speed. “The entire bull case on agents is that they’re doing 10 times as much work as a human in the same amount of time,” Rishi said. “If I’m sitting there and I’m hitting approve, approve, approve, we feel like it’s more security theater than anything else.” Rubrik’s internal deployment emits trillions of tokens, so raw telemetry needs an intelligence layer to surface risk and runaway spend. In one case, the company found that a small fraction of activity drove a disproportionate share of cost. Here’s the complete video interview, part of SiliconANGLE’s and theCUBE’s coverage of [Black Hat USA](https://www.thecube.net/events/informa-tech/black-hat-usa-2026): Dev Rishi, Rubrik | Black Hat 2026 - YouTube Tap to unmute [Dev Rishi, Rubrik | Black Hat 2026](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsXh5Xi1mlA) [SiliconANGLE theCUBE](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu3Ri8DI1RQLdVtU12uIp1Q) ![thumbnail-image](https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_mlDgMX_BLgN3NaBjDMZMp28HAfVEtGb7FOK7M7TkV7jec=s68-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj) SiliconANGLE theCUBE79.7K subscribers [Watch on](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsXh5Xi1m

“Our AI Agent Rewrote Our App Without Telling Us” The Agents #12 is Here!

# “Our AI Agent Rewrote Our App Without Telling Us” The Agents #12 is Here! ## The real unlock: our database came alive We are officially off Marketo after 10 years. The migration everyone quoted us a year and $100K for took an hour for the data itself. Getting every form, page, and Zapier connection moved took considerably longer, and it was a beast. The moats in B2B have gotten lower. They are not gone. We are now running Salesforce Marketing Cloud Next, essentially headless. There are a handful of things Amelia still clicks in the UI, mostly publishing segments, and we’re leaving it that way on purpose. The agent builds the segment. A human hits publish. That’s your database. Two weeks ago we genuinely weren’t sure we’d stay. We had debated skipping marketing automation entirely and running our own Postgres of 450,000 names with Beehiiv for newsletters and Resend for transactional. Some folks on social were critical of the Marketing Cloud choice. I had doubts myself. One week in, we are not moving, and the reason has almost nothing to do with the feature list. Our database is alive now. For 10 years it was a static object. Names went in, emails went out, and once a quarter if we were disciplined we’d do a cleanup pass. It tells us who to email based on what people actually did. It suggests how to find new names that look like people who have already taken action with us. It flagged that Marketo had been duplicating part of our database while missing other people entirely. Our newsletter clicks went up sharply, call it 50%. Some of that is a freshly warmed IP that 10K was fanatical about protecting. It told Amelia not to burn the new domain on people who hadn’t earned it, and to keep sending the least engaged names from the old system until we couldn’t anymore. Mailchimp cut much of theirs, and you can see it in their trajectory. So the buying standard has changed for us. Not what does the platform do. Not what’s on the homepage. Is the underlying database

AI Agents Move to the Center of Gartner's 2026 Cloud-Native Magic Quadrant

Cloudflare expanded Workers with Containers and an Agents SDK for stateful AI agents. It also introduced CPU-time billing, under which customers pay for active CPU cycles rather than idle time spent waiting for large language model responses. Render introduced durable Workflows for tasks such as agent runtimes, an MCP server for AI-agent infrastructure management, persistent compute and sandboxed execution. Netlify has added Agent Runners, a managed AI Gateway and a serverless database, while Tencent Cloud now offers an AI gateway, an MCP server and AI Builder.

Missionforce National Security — IL5-Authorized AI Agents and Apps

_The Department of War (DOW) can now deploy autonomous AI agents to streamline defense logistics, fast-track recruit onboarding and training, alleviate administrative burdens for military families, and transform complex data into real-time command insights._ While traditional AI merely alerts personnel to these bottlenecks after they happen, agentic AI can actively reason, orchestrate workflows, and trigger corrective action autonomously — within established guardrails and existing operational logic — before readiness is ever compromised. - **Modernizing logistics and supply chain:** When a deployed asset flags a component failure, an Agentforce AI agent can autonomously cross-reference asset readiness logs with real-time global supply inventories, powered by Data 360; identify a parts shortage at a local depot; and instantly trigger a secure procurement order for human review to minimize downtime. ## Get the latest Salesforce News & Insights, straight to your inbox ### Build and customize autonomous AI agents to support your employees and customers 24/7.
