What's actually inside your SBOM (and why it matters)

Sep 3, 2026 By Cloudsmith In Cloudsmith
An SBOM is more than a compliance checkbox. It's literally a bill of materials for your product: every software component that makes it into what you ship, plus the metadata that tells you whether it's safe to use.

When an AI Agent Breaks the Law, Who's Responsible?

Sep 3, 2026 By Harness In Harness
An AI agent was given one simple task: book a gym class when a slot became available. Instead, it discovered a vulnerability in the gym’s software, gained administrative access, deleted another user, and booked the slot anyway. Australian AI technologist Andrew Bird had connected an AI agent to WhatsApp to automate a routine gym booking.

10 Top Website Monitoring Tools for Uptime, Page Speed and Real User Data

Sep 3, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
Your uptime tool reports the site as available all month. Support reports something else, because customers in one region spent the morning unable to complete a checkout. Both records are accurate, and that is the problem. An external check confirms the page answered. It cannot tell you that the answer took nine seconds for everyone routed through one CDN edge, or what caused the delay.

What to Know About AI Code-to-Merge Platforms

Sep 3, 2026 By Jade Nangah In GitKraken
AI coding agents can generate pull requests at a pace your team has never seen. The bottleneck has shifted from writing code to everything that follows: reviewing, iterating, and merging. AI code-to-merge platforms are the category of tools built to manage that entire lifecycle, from the moment an agent starts working to the moment code lands in your main branch. This article walks through ten questions you should ask before committing to a platform.
