As this year comes to a close, many experts have begun to look ahead to next year. Here are several predictions for how companies will manage security in 2026. Suja Viswesan, vice president of technology at IBM Shadow agents will accelerate data exposure faster than we can detect it: As autonomous AI agents begin to operate independently across enterprise environments, often outside sanctioned workflows, they access sensitive data with minimal human oversight. These agents replicate and evolve without leaving clear audit trails or conforming to legacy security frameworks. They move faster than conventional monitoring can follow. This creates a new exposure problem: businesses will know data was exposed but won’t know which agents moved it, where it went, or why. Systems that can trace agent data access across machine-to-machine interactions will become essential.”   Gabrielle Hempel, security operations strategist at Exabeam In 2026, as AI systems face more legal scrutiny and...

Several new updates make their way into the MCP specification It has been one year since Anthropic first open sourced Model Context Protocol (MCP), and to celebrate this anniversary a new version of the specification is being released . “It’s hard to imagine that a little open-source experiment, a protocol to provide context to models, became the de-facto standard for this very scenario in less than twelve months,” the MCP Core Maintainers wrote in a blog post . The latest release includes support for task-based workflows (experimental). According to the maintainers, tasks provide a new type of abstraction for tracking the work an MCP server performs. It enables several new capabilities, such as active polling to check the status of ongoing work anytime and result retrieval to see results of completed tasks. Tasks also support many different states including working , input_required , completed , failed , and cancelled . Anthropic releases Claude Opus 4.5 with improvements to comp...
