Leidos introduces the HeadWay Dispatch platform to help organizations gain control over AI agents, ensuring effective decision-making and accountability.

Deploy AI agents inside your own infrastructure with document-grounded answers, computer use, and support for any AG-UI-compatible agent framework.

A Major Update Focused on AI Agent Reliability and Operational Safety The Phantom project has published version 3.29.15, continuing its rapid development of an AI agent management platform designed around local execution, resource accountability, controlled collaboration, and strict authorization boundaries. Rather than focusing on a single headline feature, this release improves several important areas of the platform, including provider resource monitoring, collaborative agent workflows, storage management, automated code improvement, and development efficiency.

Snowflake Inc. today announced a sweeping collection of artificial intelligence capabilities designed to bring business context, governance and autonomous development into the same environment, as enterprises increasingly hand over software engineering and everyday operations to AI agents. The announcements, during the company’s Expedition 2026 virtual conference, include a new Business Ontology framework, expanded agent governance through Cortex AI Gateway, and autonomous data engineering capabilities that allow AI agents to build, monitor and troubleshoot data pipelines with less human intervention. The company is betting that more coders and engineers will use AI throughout the software development lifecycle as creation moves even faster, while other back-end departments begin to adopt agents in their day-to-day work. For example, sales operations are creating agents that can analyze sales risks and prepare customer outreach without writing code. “AI is industrializing software creation. Actually, it’s industrializing intelligence,” Chief Executive Sridhar Ramaswamy said. “What once took months can now take hours, days, or even minutes.” Ramaswamy noted that while AI is changing the economics of software development, as agents take over tasks usually relegated to specialized developers, business users become developers. This is changing the competitive landscape, meaning that the advantage no longer goes to specialists, but...

From isolated AI agents to coordinated, testable workflows using Python, structured execution plans, and real LLM-powered agents.

Introduction: As artificial intelligence transitions from assistive auto-complete to autonomous software engineering agents, organizations face a critical blind spot: understanding how AI agents consume SDKs, interact with APIs, and follow documentation. Microsoft has released Scope, an open-source Kubernetes-1ative evaluation platform designed to test, benchmark, and secure AI coding agent interactions with enterprise software tooling. Built around the paradigm of Developer Agent Experience (DevAx), Scope provides security and engineering teams with an automated, evidence-backed evaluation loop to systematically detect API misconfigurations, documentation hallucinations, and code-generation vulnerabilities before they hit production environments.

CrowdStrike plans to acquire AI security companies Fiddler AI and Dreadnode in separate deals that will extend its Falcon platform into automated testing of AI systems and monitoring of AI agent behaviour, as enterprises look to address security risks arising from increasingly autonomous applications. CrowdStrike made the announcements at Fal.Con Europe 2026 in Barcelona, saying the acquisitions will add capabilities to test AI models, applications, and agents for security weaknesses before deployment and monitor their decisions and actions in production. The company plans to integrate Dreadnode’s automated testing technology and Fiddler’s agent observability capabilities into Falcon, with both offerings scheduled for general availability in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027. Dreadnode will bring automated security testing to identify vulnerabilities in AI models, applications and agents before deployment. Fiddler, meanwhile, will add AI agent observability and explainability, allowing enterprises to monitor agent behaviour, trace decisions and understand why agents take particular actions, CrowdStrike said in two separate statements. CrowdStrike said the Dreadnode team will join its Cyber Superintelligence Lab, but did not specify how the Fiddler team would be integrated into the company. ## CrowdStrike adds AI testing and observability “With this acquisition, Dreadnode will extend the Falcon platform into the layer where enterprises build and test AI, delivering Automated AI Security Testing capabilities,” CrowdStrike said in its announcement. It further added that Dreadnode’s technology will allow security teams to test AI models, applications, agent reasoning loops and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers against more than 100 AI attack strategies. These include jailbreaks, prompt injection, multi-turn attacks, and attacks targeting AI agents. The technology will also let teams describe tests in natural language, rank findings by severity, and map vulnerabilities to frameworks including OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, OWASP Agentic Security, MITRE ATLAS, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. CrowdStrike said findings will feed into Falcon Guardian as policy recommendations. Fiddler, the second acquisition, will bring agent observability and explainability capabilities to Falcon. CrowdStrike said the technology is intended to address risks that can arise even when agents have not been compromised. “An agent can hold valid credentials and approved tools and still make unsupported decisions, ignore instructions, or claim work it never completed. They don’t have to be compromised to create risk,” the company said in a statement. CrowdStrike plans to offer Fiddler’s technology through Falcon Observe. The product will evaluate agent accuracy, task completion, and policy compliance before deployment, and trace decisions, reasoning paths, and tool calls once agents are in production, the company said. The company further added that Falcon Observe will also detect behavioural drift, hallucinations and unintended actions, while maintaining records of agent activity for compliance and audit purposes. The offering is expected to support OpenTelemetry and frameworks including LangGraph, Amazon Bedrock, AWS Strands and Google ADK, it added. ## Governance remains a shared responsibility The addition of observability and automated testing to a security platform could help enterprises correlate agent behaviour with identity, runtime activity and security events, said Apeksha Kaushik, senior principal analyst at Gartner. However, Kaushik said the acquisitions would not make security teams the sole owners of AI agent governance. Platform and observability teams would continue to be responsible for reliability, performance and operational telemetry, while application security and AI teams would retain responsibility for secure development and testing. “Business, data and compliance leaders also retain accountability for use cases, data and regulatory obligations,” Kaushik said. She said CIOs should establish a governance model that defines responsibilities across engineering, security, risk, and business teams. CISOs, meanwhile, should ensure security teams have the authority to set minimum controls, monitor agent behaviour and intervene when activity creates unacceptable risk. ## Integration and roadmap questions CrowdStrike expects both transactions to close during its fourth quarter of fiscal 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, and has scheduled both offerings for general availability in the same quarter. Kaushik cautioned enterprises against treating the announced timelines as confirmation of final product capabilities or integration plans. “Enterprises should distinguish between announced plans and demonstrated product capability, with closing timeline and conditions possibly being different, especially with the pace of change of the threat landscape and evolution of AI,” she added. She advised customers to seek clarity on pricing, packaging, migration terms, service continuity, support commitments, deployment models, data handling, telemetry retention and API access. “Once the Existing and prospective customers have further details, they should set up their roadmap changes, support commitments, service continuity, contract and pricing, data portability, open integrations, and access to historical data changes,” she pointed out. CrowdStrike did not disclose the financial terms of either acquisition.
