Findy to Host AI×Security Conference 2026 on Rapid AI Evolution and Core Defense Principles
Findy will hold the offline-only AI×Security Conference 2026 on October 28, 2026, at KABUTO ONE Hall & Conference in Tokyo under the theme “AI-driven changes in governance, defense, and operations.”
The conference responds to AI’s unexpectedly rapid progress since 2026, which has produced large volumes of vulnerability reports and introduced new risks such as over-privileged AI agents and shadow AI. Organizations now face the practical challenge of maintaining control and security while these technologies continue to evolve.
Keynote speakers include Ikotas Labs CEO Tsuji Tomoki, known for successes in the Japanese Ministry of Defense contest, DEF CON CTF, and a Pwn2Own win against OpenAI Codex. He will address overlooked threat areas, proactive software issues, and how to rebuild monitoring and operations using the latest overseas examples.
GitHub’s Fredrik Skogman will cover supply-chain concerns, focusing on package authenticity, secure software delivery, and emerging AI-related attacks targeting development environments.
EG Secure Solutions CTO Hiroaki Tokumaru will emphasize that the fundamental structure of attacks has not changed despite AI-driven automation, and will outline the defense principles organizations should still prioritize. Cabinet Office National Cyber Director Mikiharu Shimizu is also scheduled to speak.
Additional sessions include a special lecture by GMO Flatt Security Co-CTO Takashi Yonai and practitioner talks from Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, JR East Japan Information Systems, and Mercari. The two-track program is free to attend but requires advance registration on the official event page.

AI Agent Workflow Exceeds 100-Unit ERP Limit Reaching 120 Due to Check-Then-Act Race Condition
A detailed case study demonstrates how an AI workflow authorized to order no more than 100 units of COMP-17 ended up creating 120 units across three suppliers. Each individual order of 40 units passed authorization checks returning ALLOW, yet the cumulative result violated the human-delegated mandate. The root cause was a classic check-then-act race condition where stateful permission tracking read the same initial balance concurrently before any updates occurred. Sequential stateful checks prevented the overrun, but concurrent execution allowed all three requests to read zero consumption and receive ALLOW. An improved design using PostgreSQL SELECT FOR UPDATE performs atomic reservation of the grant balance before calling the ERP system, ensuring only two orders succeed and the third is rejected with DENY_CAPACITY. The experiment used a deterministic planner without any LLM to isolate the authorization mechanism from model reasoning quality. Five key questions are provided for production deployments involving cumulative business limits delegated to agents.
SECURITM Launches MCP Server for External AI Access to Security Data
SECURITM has introduced an MCP server that connects external AI assistants directly to its platform data on assets, risks, tasks, and metrics. This marks the first such implementation among Russian SGRC and SOAR systems. The open MCP protocol enables natural language queries about critical assets without owners, overdue tasks, or monthly metric changes without manual data export. Supported tools include GigaChat, Yandex solutions, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and compatible local models. Access remains strictly read-only through dedicated tokens with optional IP restrictions. The feature is available in paid cloud and on-premise editions and complements the platform’s built-in AI assistant.
One Year Left to Secure Systems as Open-Source GLM-5.3-Flash Enables Automated Cyber Attacks
Chinese company Z.ai Co. released GLM-5.3-Flash in August 2026, an open-weight model that achieves 84.5% on CyberGym and 54.4% on ExploitBench, matching or exceeding leading commercial LLMs in vulnerability discovery and exploitation tasks. The model runs locally on consumer hardware such as a single Nvidia DGX Spark or Apple M5 Mac Studio with 256 GB unified memory, allowing unrestricted use after abliterated versions remove safety alignments. Experts warn that LLM agents could soon scan and exploit zero-days across Windows, Linux, browsers, and messaging apps around the clock. Initiatives Project Glasswing (Anthropic-led) and Daybreak (OpenAI-led) are racing to patch critical vulnerabilities in open-source projects and critical infrastructure before the next generation of unrestricted models arrives. Organizations are advised to accelerate patch deployment, inventory supply chains, and adopt advanced LLMs defensively within the remaining one-year window.
RFC 9421 and Open wbauth Protocol Accelerate AI Agents 5.5x by Replacing Anti-Detect Browsers with Cryptographic Signatures
A new open implementation of the IETF RFC 9421 HTTP Message Signatures standard called wbauth allows AI agents to authenticate using Ed25519 cryptographic signatures instead of resource-heavy anti-detect browser farms. The approach eliminates the need for Camoufox, Playwright, or AdsPower instances that consume 500 MB to 1.5 GB of RAM per process and require residential proxy pools. Benchmarks show cold start time dropping from 1744 ms to 5 ms, request time from 86.8 ms to 15.8 ms, and memory usage from 500 MB to 0.76 MB. The system uses three HTTP headers for signing and verification against a public key directory hosted on Cloudflare Workers and D1. Server-side validation at the WAF or edge involves fetching the public key, canonicalizing the message per RFC 9421, verifying the Ed25519 signature, and checking timestamps to prevent replay attacks. The npm package wb-auth@0.4.0 and PyPI package wbauth-sdk==0.4.0 provide ready-to-use signers for Node, Bun, Deno, Python httpx, and requests. The full source is available on GitHub under the MrKoriy/wbauth repository.
