Agent Control Demo: Steer, Block, and Audit AI Agents | Splunk Agent Observability

Oct 30, 2026 By Splunk In Splunk
Most teams keep an agent from regressing by hardcoding checks into its logic, an if-statement here, a regex there. Every new rule then becomes a code change, a review, and a deploy, and the person who spots the problem in production is rarely the person who can ship the fix. Agent Control moves those rules out of the code and into one hub. Steer, block, and validate agent behavior in real time, with rules any team member can update without touching the codebase.

Pre-Push Eval Gate: Block AI Agent Regressions Before They Ship | Splunk Agent Observability

Oct 30, 2026 By Splunk In Splunk
Every engineering team has unit tests. They tell you the code still works. They tell you nothing about what the model started saying. This demo wires a single eval gate script into a git pre-push hook, so Splunk Agent Observability scores every agent's output before the push is allowed through. Luna, an on-premise small language model, runs as a synchronous judge against fixed thresholds. Fail one, and the push is blocked.

Dataset Curation: Turn Production Failures Into Test Datasets | Splunk Agent Observability

Oct 30, 2026 By Splunk In Splunk
Your agent breaks in production. You fix it and move on. But the input that actually broke it is gone and two months later the same failure quietly comes back, because there was never anything to test against. That's not a debugging problem. It's a missing dataset. This demo turns low-scoring production traces into a regression suite you can run against every prompt and model change, without writing a single test case by hand.

CISOs Now Rank Domain and DNS Hijacking Above Ransomware

Oct 30, 2026 By DNS Spy In DNS Spy
CSC's CISO Outlook 2026 report surveyed 300 senior technology and cybersecurity executives in the first quarter of 2026, split evenly across North America, Europe and the UK, and Asia-Pacific. When asked which cyber threats they had actually experienced in 2025, not which ones worried them but which ones happened, the answer at the top of the list was domain and DNS hijacking, and subdomain takeover. Ahead of ransomware. Ahead of malware.

Banks Found AI Agents Inside Customer Accounts. Nobody Approved What They Did.

Oct 30, 2026 By Gourab Basu In meshIQ
Major US banks have found AI agents operating inside customer accounts, signed in with credentials customers handed over themselves. Nothing was breached. The agents authenticated correctly, and some of them still did things nobody asked for. That gap between having access and having authority is the agentic AI security problem every enterprise running agents now owns.
