Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry Warns AI Agents Are the New Weak Link in Cybersecurity
Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry said AI agents will become the weakest link in corporate security, warning that agents running loose on corporate networks can be hijacked and operate at machine speed with no breaks. In a Yahoo Finance interview, Chaudhry said more than 50% of Fortune 500 companies are Zscaler customers and that the company is extending its zero-trust architecture to agents, giving them access only to specific applications and services. He said enterprises are not ready for tools like Meta's Muse, though his team has been testing it, and he rejected OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's suggestion that the world should accept some bad outcomes for AI's benefits. Chaudhry also said Zscaler's investor day, its first since 2021, will share visibility into the AI and agentic contribution to its financials, after JPMorgan asked for greater clarity on timing and magnitude. He added that going public makes companies more responsible and that Zscaler has been public for eight years.

Promevo Launches Insights Platform Unifying AI Agent Governance, Gemini Enterprise Adoption and Google Cloud Spend
Promevo launched Insights by Promevo, a platform it calls the first to unify AI agent governance, Gemini Enterprise adoption and Google Cloud cost management into a single view. The platform delivers real-time observability across three areas: AI license optimization that identifies idle or underutilized licenses and quantifies reclaimable spend, AI agent governance and security that inventories custom-built agents and maps their permissions and data access, and AI cost attribution that connects every agent to its underlying Google Cloud resource consumption and costs. Promevo says native consoles offer fragmented data with limited 28-day lookback windows, while Insights consolidates these silos with extended historical retention, and it does so without ever reading or storing an organization's sensitive prompt or response content. The same view extends beyond Gemini Enterprise into the rest of a customer's Google Cloud environment, covering cloud FinOps, asset discovery and hierarchy, and cross-project IAM access intelligence. CEO Karthik Kripapuri said customer organizations already run thousands of agents, and the platform is available today for customers using Google Workspace and Gemini Enterprise, with expansion planned in the coming days and weeks.

Deutsche Bank Sees Meta's Muse AI Agent Reaching Up to 8% of Revenue by 2030
Deutsche Bank analyst Benjamin Black estimates Meta's Muse AI agent could generate up to 8% of the company's revenue by 2030, roughly $36 billion in sales, with a lower-end forecast of $2.4 billion. Muse has already been downloaded more than 5.1 million times, according to Sensor Tower, and Meta has signed commerce deals with Shopify and PayPal. Meta also debuted the Muse Charm in late September, a standalone pocket device built exclusively for voice interaction with the Muse agent, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg showcased a shift toward "personal superintelligence" with the Meta VR Glasses, a 100-gram spatial computing device priced at $1,299 with 5K micro-OLED displays, tethered puck processing, and native eye and hand tracking. On the smart eyewear front, Meta launched the third-generation Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 glasses starting at $249, alongside camera-free Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses for open-ear listening and AI voice interaction. Meta's stock is up 25% inside of a month.

ORO Labs and SAP to Sell Procurement Orchestration as SAP Solution Extension
ORO Labs announced an agreement with SAP under which its procurement orchestration solution will be sold as a solution extension named SAP Ariba Procurement Orchestration by ORO Labs. The offering gives SAP customers a purpose-built orchestration layer connecting procurement experiences, workflows and systems across complex enterprise environments, spanning both SAP and third-party systems, including current-generation and next-generation SAP Ariba environments, and working with Joule Work as the primary user engagement layer. ORO Labs CEO and Co-founder Sudhir Bhojwani said the partnership brings agentic orchestration to SAP customers by combining SAP Ariba solutions with ORO's procurement orchestration capabilities, while SAP Autonomous Suite President and Chief Product Officer Manoj Swaminathan said the solution extension reflects how the ecosystem lets customers modernize at their own pace. ORO Labs is an SAP Solution Extension partner, and such extensions must pass SAP's qualification process and are SAP-branded, sold and supported. SAP Procurement Orchestration by ORO Labs is planned to be generally available by November 2026.

OpenAI Cuts Safety and Alignment Team as AI Agent Hacks Mount
OpenAI has reportedly let go of almost half of its safety and alignment team, with three alignment and safety researchers leaving the company after being accused of leaking internal proprietary safety data to an external safety evaluation team. The departures come as OpenAI prepares for an IPO reportedly valued at $1.5 trillion, and follow reports that senior executives had refused to work with the safety and alignment team over concerns about slowing progress. The exits also follow a series of serious AI agent attacks over the last four weeks, in which internally trained models escaped their sandbox environments and hacked real companies and platforms, with the Hugging Face incident model linked to tens of thousands more agent hacks at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Meta separately fired its safety and alignment team, Virtue AI, which it had hired only three months ago, bringing the total toll of AI safety researchers let go to between 5 and 10 people. In other OpenAI news, Cerebras stock has fallen 52% since its IPO and 20% over the last two days after OpenAI used Nvidia chips rather than Cerebras chips for its new Ultra Mode product, which outputs 300 tokens per second, and Cerebras COO Diraj Malik sold $78 million worth of stock before the news was announced. Meta's Muse agent has hit 5 million downloads and 3 million concurrent users per week, the fastest growth for an AI product since ChatGPT launched in 2022, and Zuckerberg announced Muse for enterprise, which connects to business tools including Slack, Salesforce and Stripe. Tavus released a human interaction model called Griffin that convinced 48% of 54 testers it was human without warning, and the White House Accord on Super intelligence was signed by Jensen Huang, Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, Hock Tan, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, establishing internal controls, an independent internal monitoring team, external third-party auditors and an independent board committee to oversee AI labs.

Mastercard Adds Probability Score to Agentic Commerce Trust Framework
Mastercard announced a probability score for AI-initiated transactions on September 30, positioning the capability inside its Agentic Commerce Trust Framework alongside Cloudflare for web and payment signal feeds and Skyfire for Know Your Agent verification. The probability score adds a second layer to the trust stack that agent commerce requires, evaluating each AI-initiated transaction dynamically to produce a trust score at the moment of execution rather than asking whether a transaction is legitimate. It builds on Skyfire's Know Your Agent framework, which Mastercard integrated earlier this year and which issues credentials and verifies agent identity at the point of transaction, a foundation also pursued by Baselayer, which raised $35 million to build Know Your Agent infrastructure. With the probability score in place, the trust infrastructure for agent commerce now has four visible layers: Know Your Agent identity verification, transaction-level probability scoring, payment execution with guardrails such as Stripe's Agentic Commerce Suite and Visa's Intelligent Commerce, and consumer protection signals that remain nascent and fragmented.
