27 BlinkOps launches industry’s only agentic security automation platform BlinkOps has launched Security Agent Builder, the industry’s first no-code platform that lets enterprise security teams deploy custom AI-powered security agents at scale in minutes to handle specific tasks across the security operations centre, identity and access management, cloud security, network defence, vulnerability management, and governance, risk and compliance. Teams define every aspect of each agent, from its role and permissions to the workflows it supports (its capabilities). Agents can operate autonomously or collaborate with other agents to complete more complex tasks, helping security teams resolve issues faster and scale response without adding additional headcount. Security Agent Builder enables a modular, auditable approach to automation. Organisations maintain full control over what each agent does and what it executes, reducing manual effort, minimising risk and freeing analysts to focus on higher-level investigations and strategy. “Security Agent Builder gives organisations the ability to create agents tailored to their exact technology stack, processes and policies,” said Gil Barak, co-founder and CEO of BlinkOps. “In just a few weeks since the launch, our customers have built more than 200 unique agents, automating work across their security teams.” Connection earns all four Microsoft Security specialisations IT solutions provider Connection has achieved Microsoft Security specialisation across all four key areas: cloud security, identity and access management, information protection and governance, and threat protection. These recognitions highlight Connection’s deep expertise in delivering end-to-end security solutions built on Microsoft technology. “Attaining all four specialisations reflects the significant investment Connection has made in our technical expertise, resources and solution-building capabilities – and our commitment to helping customers integrate advanced security into every layer of their organisations,” said Dave Hall, general manager at Connection. “We will continue to align with trusted partners and invest in our capabilities to help customers build innovative, effective security strategies to protect their users, devices and critical data.” Barclays Bank to roll out Microsoft 365 Copilot to 100,000 employees Barclays Bank is integrating Microsoft 365 Copilot into its own colleague productivity tool to create a single agent, which will enable 100,000 of its employees globally to access the bank’s ecosystem of collaboration tools, portals and online resources.
