Tyler Lynch shared thisWe have been working with NVIDIA to integrate OpenShell and BlueField technologies with IBM software and hardware. In the next few months I expect that every agent will run in secure sandboxes. Those sandboxes have both hardware and software boundaries.Tyler Lynch shared thisAI agents are gaining autonomy. Enterprise control has to keep pace. Today, NVIDIA announced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, an open software platform and reference system design to strengthen AI security from agent testing to deployment, helping organizations secure and govern AI agents as they take on more autonomous work. It's the right move at the right moment, and IBM is proud to support this effort, from agent identity and credentials to infrastructure, storage and hybrid cloud. As agents gain more autonomy, trust can’t stop at the model. Enterprises need to know who an agent is, what it’s allowed to do, what it actually did and be able to enforce those boundaries. I wrote more about why this matters now and what it will take to build trust into the next generation of AI agents.

Tyler Lynch shared thisI was reading on the Microsoft .Net blog what it’s like to create memory dumps and analyze them in C# now… and wow, it’s so much easier than when I was debugging crashing ISAPI filters in IIS6. We used to have to hope we had enough disk space to store the dump, and then dig through hex address space relationships to find the value of a specific variable or parameter. We once had a .Net app that would “randomly crash” and we couldn’t figure it out, even with all the great APM telemetry of NewRelic (and then I learned that NewRelic did sampling, not high cardinality logging!). Anyway, I set up a PowerShell script that would dump the w3 process when I called it, and I waited for the process to crash. What I found was that someone was uploading a file that exceeded 4,096 KB. Now, we had already upped that default limit in IIS… but, what I found was that the fault happened in a 3rd party ISAPI filter, not in our .Net app. Turns out the 3rd party vendor had hardcoded the variable size to the IIS 6 default maximum size, and if anyone sent a request exceeding that, the ISAPI filter had a buffer overflow (0xC0000005) instantly crashing the w3 process. Memory dumps today come with visual trace graphs and variable names and values! https://lnkd.in/gnqhk2M6

Tyler Lynch shared thisIf you are in the NYC metro area, and are either exploring or building agents, this is for you. Join me, and industry peers on Oct 7th as we host the Agentic Runtime Security Exchange. This thought leadership event is to explore how agentic AI, non-human identities, IAM gaps, and runtime security risks are reshaping real-world deployments. Gain practical insights into securing the agentic runtime and aligning identity, access, and governance models to safely scale AI-driven initiatives. https://lnkd.in/gABdHBpS #ai #agenticruntimesecurity #ibm #agents

Tyler Lynch liked thisCant wait! A bit over a month to go till it is showtime, again! We are hosting our annual HashiCorp flagship event of the year. This year, almost like a tradition, under a new name Agentic Runtime Security Exchange - Frankfurt. Yes, its a long name but by far one of the most relevant and most talked about topics in the industry. We are thrilled to have first class speakers who will translate these major global trends and challenges into to what they actually means for strategy, the future of technology, and the day-to-day realities of infrastructure and security teams We kicking off with keynotes from Anna J McDougall , Thomas Harrer two distinguished Field CTOs from HashiCorp and IBM. I am really excited to welcome Öykü Işık, Co-Chair, Global Future Council on Cybersecurity, World Economic Forum, to bring in the latest research around the Agentic Security topic to close out our keynote section. My favourite highlight, always, our customer speakers: 🚘 Christian Caspary in a panel with Markus Pleier, Dr around resilience and speed and how you can get the best of both worlds. 🎯 David Mohar from Sportradar, with cutting edge technology implementation examples. In the Practitioner Track we will have a real HashiCorp Community feeling with talks from: 🦸♂️ Ömer Korkmaz from Delivery Hero around Governing Non-Human Access at Kubernetes Cluster Scale 📈 Daniel N. from SAP LeanIX sharing their Terraform journey around scaling our solution to do more with less. 💹 And of course Giancarlo Longobardi from Deutsche Börse Group on Scaling DevSecOps in a very regulated environment. Some Hashi Session's are a must of course. Hear from: 🥷 Lennart Passig will bring the latest #HashiConf Update to you in case you werent able to travel to Boston. 🔐 Kerim Satirli and Adrian Todorov will share ideas around Platform Engineering for Humans and Agents. If you haven't register 👉 don't miss out and check comments for the registration links! Hope to see you there.Tyler Lynch liked thisI am honored to take part as a speaker to the HashiCorp Agentic Runtime Security Exchange event that will be held on November 10th in Frankfurt.

Tyler Lynch liked thisTyler Lynch liked this19 cities globally. 11 cities across APAC. And Hanoi marks the final stop of our 2026 APAC journey. The HashiCorp Agentic Runtime Security Exchange – Hanoi successfully concluded on 24 September, bringing our APAC programme to a close for 2026. Kudos to our Hanoi speakers Hien-Ngo Hien and Jerome Walter for their valuable insights. The Exchange brought together technology leaders, security practitioners and organisations to explore the evolving security challenges of agentic AI and how organisations can prepare for a new era of autonomous workloads. From Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Auckland, Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, Hanoi, Delhi NCR, Mumbai to Bengaluru, it has been an incredible journey across the region. One theme continued to stand out throughout these conversations: if an agent is compromised, most organisations have low to no confidence in their ability to contain it. That makes action urgent. The right guardrails need to be in place now, before security gaps translate into higher breach costs and compliance debt that can compound exponentially as agentic AI scales. Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who joined us, shared perspectives and helped make this 11-city APAC journey a success. 🙌 To learn more, visit https://lnkd.in/gnvXktG7 Andrew, Gavin, Vivek, Arseny, Marius, Shaibal, Rajesh, Aju, Elizabeth, Tio, Chris, Trevor, Kyle, Andrew, Tony, Dinesh, David, Prateek, Syed, Sandeep, Jen, Bomí, Yiyin, Cicilia, Jennifer, Nana, Justina, Richard, Densi, Anurag, Anurag, Tuhina, Oscar, Rajkumar, Jared, Nguyen, Cherie #AgenticAI #Cybersecurity #IdentitySecurity #AI #RuntimeSecurity #HashiCorp #IBM #APAC

Tyler Lynch liked thisTyler Lynch liked thisThe open letter released yesterday is a call for coordinated defense, and we're proud to be part of it. Open source sits at the foundation of the digital economy. When it is at risk, the organizations that depend on it, including hospitals, banks, manufacturers, utilities, and governments, are at risk too. Collaboration is the right response, especially for technology that has become as pervasive and essential as open source. That's one of the reasons we created Lightwell. We saw a growing gap between the scale at which open source is being adopted and the resources available to maintain and secure it. At a moment when AI is reshaping both offense and defense, strengthening the security and resilience of open source is a responsibility we all share. https://lnkd.in/ey-6NXm4

Streamline custom model creation and deployment for Amazon Bedrock with Provisioned Throughput using Terraform
AWS
As customers seek to incorporate their corpus of knowledge into their generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications, or to build domain-specific models, their data science teams often want to conduct A/B testing and have repeatable experiments. In this post, we discuss a solution that uses infrastructure as code (IaC) to define the process of retrieving and formatting data for model customization and initiating the model customization. This enables you to version and iterate as needed.

A survey of 300 enterprise security and engineering leaders found AI coding tools are adding open-source components to company systems faster than security teams can check them for flaws, licensing problems or abandoned maintenance. That backlog of unreviewed code sits inside the software running banks, hospitals and government services, and researchers expect the gap to widen as AI tools generate more code with less human oversight. The visible effect for you is mundane: more outages, more errors, more services down for reasons nobody explains. 🚑 #CyberNewsLive https://lnkd.in/gKQRSnPY
