IBM MQ Alternatives: When ActiveMQ and Artemis Make Sense

What IBM MQ costs an organisation is a knowable figure. It comes off a renewal statement, an entitlement count or a licensing review, and finance can put a number against it down to the core. What replacing it would save is not knowable in the same way. There is no independent case study in the public record carrying real durations, team sizes and application counts, and every migration timeline in circulation comes from an organisation selling the migration.

The Jolokia Problem: Eight CVEs, One Door in Apache ActiveMQ

The Apache ActiveMQ Jolokia endpoint has been the route to remote code execution in three separate years. In 2023, it was reflection into the JVM. In 2024, a default configuration left it without a login. In 2026, it was the broker's own management operations, patched in March, exploited in April, and reopened three more times by summer.

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

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.

Apache ActiveMQ CVE-2023-46604: DripDropper Exploit Explained

When a CVSS 10.0 vulnerability is published, the expectation is that affected software gets patched within days. When it involves an open-source broker that processes business-critical transactions in enterprise environments, the expectation is that the security teams responsible for those brokers treat it as an emergency. “The attacks exploit a maximum-severity security flaw in Apache.

What Are AI Agents? How They Work, Why They Matter and Why They Need Governance

An AI agent doesn’t just answer questions—it takes actions in real systems. As teams across the enterprise build their own agents, governance can’t be an afterthought. Learn how agents work, why they create new risks, and what controls are needed before they act, not after.

Agentic AI Is Becoming the Enterprise's Connective Tissue. Governance Has to Move Into the Flow.

McKinsey's 2026 tech report calls agentic AI the 'connective tissue of the enterprise.' But agents that act at machine speed need governance at machine speed too. Static controls won't work for dynamic agents—active, in-flow guardrails must run before the action, not after.

Governing AI Agents From the Inside: What We Learned Building AgentIQ

When every employee is building AI agents, seeing what they did afterward isn't enough. AgentIQ's in-flow governance runs inside the agent's execution flow—pausing for human approval, enforcing policies by value, masking PII, and stopping runaway agents before costs spiral.

Governing AI Agents From the Inside: What We Learned Building AgentPatrol

When every employee is building AI agents, seeing what they did afterward isn't enough. AgentPatrol's in-flow governance runs inside the agent's execution flow—pausing for human approval, enforcing policies by value, masking PII, and stopping runaway agents before costs spiral.
