AI agents and managed services: the week in cybersecurity releases

AI was the most frequent thread in this week's releases. Arcjet announced custom-trained security models to protect AI agents, including chatbots and coding agents. Ontinue said its new MXDR Essentials service combines agentic AI and automation with 24/7 human expertise on top of Microsoft's security operations platform. Omnissa said it is expanding its Sovereign Solution to more markets, describing it as a safe place for enterprises to run AI.

Managed services were a second theme. Ontinue and Assured Data Protection both launched managed offerings, the latter focused on verifying clean recovery points for cyber recovery. Outside those threads, CACI International Inc reported a five-year, $108 million U.S. Air Force contract for the DEAMS financial system, and Industrial Defender added network security monitoring and patch prioritization for OT/ICS operators in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Palo Alto Networks and SuperCom set dates for upcoming financial results.
