Its latest State of the Internet report argues that browser extensions, autonomous AI agents, and decentralized AI usage are creating new attack paths that conventional enterprise defenses were never designed to detect or manage effectively.
The conversation around enterprise AI has changed remarkably quickly. A year ago, most organizations were still debating whether employees should use generative AI tools at work. That discussion is largely over. AI assistants now draft code, summarize documents, analyze data, and [...]
📅 - AI Bots Make Online Commerce Cybercrime's New Primary Target - Akamai says commerce has become the primary target for AI-enabled bot attacks, API abuse, application-layer denial-of-service campaigns, and increasingly automated fraud. By December 2025, AI bots represented 47.9% of commerce traffic observed on its network, forcing retailers, travel operators, payment providers, and marketplaces to reconsider how they identify customers, machines, and criminal automation at scale in production.

For cybersecurity vendors, the browser has quietly become the new perimeter. Or perhaps the least protected one.
Employees spend most of their working day inside web applications, SaaS platforms, and increasingly, generative AI interfaces. They upload files into large language models, paste customer information into chat windows, test internal [...]
