Dynatrace Brings Autonomous Operations to Enterprise AI, Moving from Insight to Action

Bangalore, July 2026 : New innovations extend Dynatrace Intelligence beyond analysis and recommendations into trusted, autonomous executionDynatrace (NYSE: DT), the leading AI-powered observability platform, announced major advancements to Dynatrace Intelligence that help automatically resolve incidents, prevent disruptions, and accelerate operations while maintaining the human oversight and governance enterprises require.Building on the introduction of Dynatrace Intelligence earlier this year, Dynatrace is adding new autonomous agents for incident triage and remediation, and no-code custom agent creation capabilities. The platform is also expanding its ecosystem of integrations, bringing insights directly into the tools and workflows teams already use.AI systems typically lack the real-time context and controls to make reliable decisions, with most AI initiatives promising automation but often unable to deliver on production goals. Dynatrace addresses this by combining agentic AI with deterministic, real-time understanding of complex environments, creating AI that acts on facts, not guesses."Our operations teams are under constant pressure to manage increasingly complex environments while maintaining reliability and speed,” said Angel Marchena, Director of Technical Operations at Western Governors University. “Dynatrace helps us reduce manual effort by providing automation that is grounded in real-time context, which allows our teams to focus on higher-value work while improving operational outcomes."How Dynatrace Intelligence WorksDynatrace Intelligence goes beyond providing answers to acting on them automatically. The release introduces:Autonomous SRE Agent: Triggers autonomously on newly detected problems to determine whether they are part of an existing investigation. If confirmed, the agent enriches the investigation with additional insights and updates the detected problem with a reference to the ongoing investigation.Cloud SRE Agent: Coordinates remediation activities and integrates with agents across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud environments, centralizing findings to provide a single auditable record for autonomous operations.Agent Builder: Enables customers to create and deploy custom AI agents without code, extending autonomous operations to workflows unique to their environments.Enhanced Dynatrace Assist: New capabilities bring natural-language investigation and agent-ready workflows to even more users.Expanded Integration Ecosystem: New integrations with hyperscalers like AWS, Azure and Google; enterprise platforms like ServiceNow, Atlassian, and PagerDuty; developer tools and leading AI technologies enable teams to resolve and remediate across the systems they already use.AI That Acts on Answers, Not GuessesUnlike approaches that rely primarily on probabilistic outputs, Dynatrace Intelligence grounds every action in deterministic, real-time system understanding. Every action is rooted in environment-specific context and designed to be transparent, auditable, and governed - giving enterprises the confidence to automate increasingly complex operational workflows."Most observability platforms stop at data – leaving humans to find answers, determine what to do, and execute," said Steve Tack, Chief Product Officer at Dynatrace. "With these advancements to Dynatrace Intelligence, we're helping organizations move from understanding problems to resolving them automatically. By grounding agentic AI in deterministic context, Dynatrace enables enterprises to automate operations with confidence while maintaining governance and control.”"Enterprises investing in AI-driven observability have an opportunity to turn data into intelligence that translates into trusted, autonomous action," said Stephen Elliot, Group VP, IDC. "The gap between AI-generated insight and safe, governed execution is one of the biggest concerns; customers need a deterministic, real-time context with automation and auditability to drive trusted and reliable outcomes.”Cloud SRE Agent, Enhanced Dynatrace Assist, and the expanded integration ecosystem are available to SaaS customers on DPS today. Autonomous SRE Agent and Agent Builder are expected to be available in August.FAQWhat is Dynatrace Intelligence?Dynatrace Intelligence is an advanced AI-powered capability embedded within the Dynatrace platform that enables organizations to move beyond insights to autonomous operations by automatically identifying, triaging, and remediating issues across complex digital environments.How does Dynatrace achieve autonomous operations?Dynatrace achieves autonomous operations by combining agentic AI with its patented causal AI engine for deterministic, real-time understanding of IT environments. This allows for reliable decision-making and automated execution of tasks, rooted in factual data rather than probabilistic guesses.What types of agents are available in Dynatrace Intelligence?Dynatrace Intelligence introduces an Autonomous SRE Agent for incident resolution and a Cloud SRE Agent for multi-cloud remediation. Additionally, an Agent Builder allows customers to create custom, no-code AI agents tailored to their unique workflows.How does Dynatrace help ensure trust and governance in AI automation?Dynatrace helps ensure trust and governance through its deterministic AI approach, transparent action logging, auditable records, and built-in human oversight capabilities that allow for human approval and intervention where required, maintaining control over automated processes.What integrations are available for Dynatrace Intelligence?Dynatrace Intelligence integrates with leading hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), enterprise platforms (ServiceNow, Atlassian, PagerDuty), developer tools, and other key AI technologies, enabling seamless operation within existing IT ecosystems.What specific problem does Dynatrace Intelligence solve for enterprises?Dynatrace Intelligence helps to solve problems related to unreliable AI automation by providing a platform where AI acts on facts, not guesses.

Elastic and OpenAI Collaborate to Bring Frontier Intelligence to Unstructured Enterprise Data

Bangalore, July 2026 : Collaboration combines OpenAI’s advanced reasoning models with governed enterprise context in Elasticsearch across AI applications, security operations, and observabilityElastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, today announced an expanded collaboration with OpenAI to help organizations build production-ready AI applications and agents using OpenAI models with Elasticsearch. By combining Elasticsearch's retrieval, search and governance capabilities with OpenAI's advanced reasoning models, organizations can ground AI in their own enterprise data to enable more accurate, secure and reliable AI at scale.AI agents are only as useful as the enterprise context they can access. Yet most of that information remains out of reach. According to Gartner®, “unstructured data, such as documents and multimedia files, accounts for 70% to 90% of organizational data.”1 That context is spread across documents, tickets, logs, metrics, traces, and security alerts, changes continuously, and is governed by different permissions. Without access to the right enterprise context, even advanced AI models struggle to deliver accurate, reliable results.Elasticsearch provides the retrieval layer, combining lexical and vector search, semantic reranking, filtering, and access controls in a single platform. It helps agents find relevant, real-time context with the right permissions, reducing unnecessary data sent to the model and improving retrieval quality, all with lower token costs. Together with OpenAI models, developers can build reliable, cost-efficient AI agents for critical enterprise workflows.“The success of enterprise AI depends on connecting powerful models with the knowledge businesses already possess,” said Greg Tademoto, global vice president, Business Development & Strategic AI Partnerships at Elastic. “Much of that knowledge is buried in unstructured data. By combining OpenAI’s advanced reasoning with Elasticsearch's retrieval and governance capabilities, we’re helping enterprises build AI agents that are accurate, secure and useful in production.”“Great AI needs great context. We’re excited to collaborate with Elastic to bring OpenAI’s models closer to the data businesses rely on - helping them build AI agents that are more accurate, more secure, and ready to deliver real-world results,” said Colleen Kapase, vice president, Strategic Global Partnerships & Ecosystems at OpenAI.Elastic and OpenAI will focus on delivering three customer outcomes:Context-aware AI agents that retrieve accurate, permission-aware enterprise knowledge at scale, while improving agent efficiency.Agentic observability that correlates telemetry and accelerates root cause investigation for SRE teams.Agentic security operations that turn high volumes of alerts into evidence-backed investigations for analyst review and action.Elastic has supported OpenAI models through AI Assistants and connectors since 2023. This collaboration expands that foundation through deeper product integration and joint work to help customers build enterprise AI applications grounded in governed data.The companies plan to deepen their collaboration further across enterprise AI, security and observability. Through the OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, Elastic plans to integrate OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 Cyber specific models into Elastic Security agentic workflows and extend governance to the OpenAI platform, enabling detection of anomalous OpenAI activity alongside endpoint and network threats. For developers using OpenAI Codex, Elastic will develop integration points that provide governed, real-time access to their unstructured enterprise data.Developers can get started today by connecting OpenAI models and applications with Elasticsearch using Elastic AI Assistants, Agent Builder and MCP integrations.

NETSCOUT STRENGTHENS OPERATIONAL RESILIENCE OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AGAINST AI-DRIVEN, INTERNET-SCALE DDoS ATTACKS

Bangalore, July 2026 : Improving Operational Resilience with the Ability to Distribute and Scale DDoS Defenses Across the Entire Security FootprintNETSCOUT® (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of observability, AIOps, cybersecurity, and DDoS attack protection solutions, today announced continued investments in infrastructure and technology to double its Arbor® Cloud DDoS attack mitigation capacity to 33 Tbps, which is aimed at keeping critical digital services available during DDoS attacks, protecting revenue-generating digital operations, supporting always-on AI-driven businesses, and maintaining customer trust.This capacity enhancement, coupled with NETSCOUT’s recent acquisition of DDoS network and infrastructure, reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering industry-leading cloud-based DDoS defense at global scale. By fully owning and securing end-to-end control over the platform, NETSCOUT has a clear path to scale innovative, resilient services for customers worldwide. Unlike cloud mitigation services that merely add bandwidth, Arbor Cloud combines global mitigation capacity with global threat intelligence, drawing on NETSCOUT’s unparalleled visibility into real-world internet attack activity. Spanning 16 global scrubbing centers, this significant increase in capacity equips customers with the ability to defend against the growing scale, frequency, and sophistication of DDoS attacks by consistently balancing mitigation capacity across all attack vectors in their environments.According to Markets and Markets, the DDoS protection market size is expected to continue to grow, driven by increasingly sophisticated attacks and accelerated cloud adoption. Today, multi-vector attacks are the norm. Bad actors are launching more simultaneous attacks as well as quick hit and run attacks, forcing shorter response times from defenders. In addition, mega-botnets like Aisuru and Kimwolf have raised the ceiling on attack sizes with a few attacks approaching or exceeding 30 Tbps. Enterprises and service providers have a compelling need right now to improve the protection levels of their critical digital infrastructure.“With the increased use of AI, threat actors are targeting organizations whose defenses are vulnerable to the new, more complex DDoS attacks designed to take down critical infrastructure,” stated Carlos Morales, SVP and general manager, Arbor Cloud, NETSCOUT. “As enterprises increasingly rely on AI-powered applications and cloud-native services, while at the same time, attack size and complexity continue to rise, implementing automated and proactive defenses for uninterrupted availability has become a business risk imperative. Arbor Cloud plays a key role in achieving that objective.”Increasing Arbor Cloud capacity provides significant advantages, including:Greater intelligent mitigation capacity - absorbs and blocks larger volumetric and more sophisticated attacks without losing effectiveness.Multiple threat mitigation - handles multiple concurrent targets (e.g., from carpet bombing attacks) or multiple attack vectors simultaneously.Consistent operational performance – protects critical infrastructure, ensuring capacity does not become a constraint as attack size and frequency increase.Faster stabilization post spikes – acts as a shield wall preventing attacks from reaching customer infrastructure and creating collateral damage that lasts well beyond when the actual attack subsides.Operational confidence – provides added assurance for mission-critical sectors, like financial services, hospitals, retail, and the public sector, which require that protection remains available when legitimate traffic surges and cyberattacks occur simultaneously.Arbor Cloud plays a critical role as part of NETSCOUT’s multi-layered, adaptive DDoS protection, combining on-premises DDoS defense with cloud-based traffic scrubbing services that are tightly integrated via automated cloud signaling. This hybrid design stops attacks as close to the source as possible while seamlessly absorbing loud volumetric attacks in the cloud. Offering comprehensive global protection, Arbor Cloud is supported by a 24x7 Security Operations Center staffed by NETSCOUT’s DDoS protection experts. The capacity expansion is expected to be fully completed by the end of August 2026.This investment reinforces NETSCOUT’s long-standing leadership in DDoS protection by combining one of the world’s largest dedicated DDoS mitigation networks with decades of cyber defense expertise, industry-leading threat intelligence, and global Internet visibility. As digital infrastructures continue to evolve rapidly, and AI accelerates both innovation and cyber threats, NETSCOUT remains committed to providing organizations with the scale, intelligence, and operational resilience required to confidently protect what matters most.Resources:Reference the latest NETSCOUT DDoS Threat Intelligence Report.Learn more about Arbor Cloud DDoS Protection.About NETSCOUTNETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC.

Azul to Deliver Monthly Critical Security Patch Updates for Java Across All Supported LTS Versions

Bangalore, July 2026 : A monthly security-only, stability-first cadence delivers speed without the regression riskAzul, the trusted leader in enterprise Java for today’s AI and cloud-first world, today announced that it will deliver monthly Critical Security Patch Updates (CSPUs) for Java Long-Term Support (LTS) versions for both Azul Core and Azul Prime, starting in August 2026. The traditional quarterly update cadence can no longer keep pace, as a serious vulnerability surfacing just after a scheduled update can sit unpatched for weeks before the next fix ships. Azul is moving to a monthly rhythm to close that exposure window, delivered with the production-grade stability enterprises depend on.Why Monthly, and Why NowThe shift reflects a broad change in the security landscape: AI now accelerates how quickly vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited — by defenders and attackers alike — and the volume of issues that must be addressed is rising. In that environment, waiting up to 90 days for the next quarterly update is increasingly untenable.A Predictable Monthly ScheduleAzul’s CSPUs will be released monthly, on the third Tuesday of each month, when a high-priority fix is warranted, giving organizations a predictable, plannable security cadence rather than waiting for the next quarterly update. Azul will provide CSPUs across all the LTS versions it supports — Java 8, 11, 17, 21 and 25 — as well as the current release (Java 26). Azul will also deliver CSPUs for the Java 6 and 7 versions it supports, extending the same monthly security cadence to organizations still running older Java versions in production.The Same Stability-First ModelAzul brings a proven model to this faster cadence. For years, it has delivered Java updates in two forms each quarter: Patch Set Updates (PSUs), which carry the full set of quarterly changes (typically measured in the hundreds), and Critical Patch Updates (CPUs), which deliver security fixes only, built on a stabilized, production-proven code base. Azul’s CSPUs extend that same security-only, stability-first CPU model to a monthly rhythm — targeted fixes for identified vulnerabilities tracked as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), without the unrelated changes that raise regression risk. Azul will continue to work within the OpenJDK community and the OpenJDK Vulnerability Group to advance Java security.“For years, the world’s most demanding enterprises have trusted Azul to deliver security and stability together, and on time,” said Scott Sellers, co-founder and CEO of Azul. “As AI sharply increases the volume of threats enterprises face, enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between the two. Monthly security-only updates are the new standard Azul is setting for how enterprises protect their Java estates.”Learn more about Azul’s Java support here.FAQsHow can enterprises keep pace with faster Java security update cycles without destabilizing production systems?Azul’s release infrastructure and validation processes are built to support a monthly Java security update cadence. As CSPUs are scheduled for release, Azul will evaluate, test and distribute the corresponding update with full enterprise-grade stability checks — ensuring high-priority vulnerabilities are patched promptly without introducing application regressions or disrupting production environments.What should organizations look for in a Java security update process as patch frequency increases?Azul scopes its security updates specifically to vulnerability fixes, avoiding the bundling of unrelated changes that raise regression risk. Each update undergoes rigorous stability validation before release, reducing the testing burden on internal development teams and allowing enterprises to apply critical patches with confidence across mission-critical systems.What is the best approach for managing monthly Java security patches across enterprise production environments?As Java security updates shift toward a monthly cadence, enterprises need a vendor that delivers both speed and stability. Azul’s Java platform is purpose-built to match the new security rhythm without increasing operational risk: targeted security fixes that are thoroughly tested and delivered with the production-safe reliability that organizations running mission-critical Java workloads depend on.About AzulAzul is the trusted leader in enterprise Java for today’s AI and cloud-first world. Its open source-based Java platform empowers organizations to optimize the entire Java lifecycle to accelerate performance, strengthen security, reduce licensing and cloud costs, and boost developer productivity.

AI Is Compressing Cyberattack Timelines and Targeting Ungoverned AI Identities, Sophos AI Security Report Finds

Bangalore, July 2026 : Sophos AI Security 2026 report finds attackers are moving beyond experimentation and operationalizing AI for attacksSophos today released its AI Security 2026 Report, finding that attackers are operationalizing artificial intelligence (AI) to collapse attack workflows from weeks to days. The report finds that AI’s most immediate impact on cybercrime is speed, as well as a rise in attacks using identity as the primary initial access vector (IAV), rather than inventing new attack types at this stage.“Attackers still need initial access, still move laterally, and still exfiltrate through observable channels. What has changed is the clock,” said John Peterson, Chief Technology Officer, Sophos. “For the first time we have observed AI being actively used as an operational force multiplier. While the tools and techniques were familiar, the speed of development, testing, and iteration was materially different. That is the AI threat that security teams need to prepare against. It means faster cycles and shorter windows to respond, with greater pressure on defenders to detect and contain activity before impact.”Key findings from the Sophos 2026 AI Security ReportAI is compressing attack timelines and accelerating operational readiness.Enterprise AI identities, OAuth tokens, agents, APIs, and development tools are becoming high-value targets.AI-assisted social engineering and deepfakes are now operational tools.Threat actors are incorporating AI into underground markets, recruitment, prompt engineering, jailbreaking, malware development workflows, and criminal services.AI development infrastructure and supply chains are being targeted.AI in the hands of attackersIn one of the report’s most significant findings, Sophos uncovered a campaign tracked as STAC6994, actively using AI to drive their operations; one of the first provable demonstrations of this happening.The threat actor was running a software development operation inside a customer’s network and using approximately 12 AI agents to write and test attacks against endpoint agents, including Sophos, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft Defender. They produced nearly 80 modules and more than 70 evasion techniques and turned what would have taken a human weeks into a few days. This dramatically accelerated the timeline of attack techniques reaching operational readiness.This intelligence collection effort meant that we could stay ahead of the threat, defeating attacks before they made it into the wild.AI identities become a new attack surfaceThe report identifies enterprise AI adoption as the fastest-growing source of new exposure. As coding agents, assistants, and open-weight models take on privileged access to core systems, attackers are targeting the trust, credentials and access permissions surrounding these systems. As a result, AI identities, agents, OAuth connections, and API keys are increasingly becoming a high-value attack surface, and governance is not keeping pace.Attackers are creating new pathways into enterprise networks by compromising OAuth tokens, AI service credentials, developer tools, and exposed AI infrastructure. This demonstrates that AI is now as much an identity, governance, and supply chain issue as it is a model security issue.This is also reflected in the recent Sophos 2026 State of Ransomware report which showed that, for the first time in more than three years, identity has become the primary IAV.AI-powered social engineering and deepfakes become operationalAI-assisted social engineering and deepfakes are making scams more scalable, more convincing across languages, and significantly cheaper to produce.Incidents highlighted in the report include an AI-themed investment scam which drew a UK-based victim into a fake AI-powered investment platform through months of AI-themed lessons and coordinated messaging. The victim ultimately lost hundreds of thousands of pounds.AI development infrastructure is also being targeted directly with attacks involving compromised developer tools and credential-stealing malware. Supply chain risks around model weights, training data provenance, MCP servers and inference infrastructure are also becoming more prolific.“This report makes clear that AI security is no longer just about model behavior or speculative future risks. AI is actively being absorbed into criminal workflows and social engineering operations, as well as into enterprise software development and identity systems within legitimate organisations. That means the threat is in the here and now,” said Peterson. “As frontier models continue to advance, the next few months will be defined by how quickly organizations can govern AI use, secure the identities and connections around it, and keep pace with attackers who are capable of rapidly adopting new capabilities.”The report is based on findings from Sophos X-Ops Managed Detection and Response (MDR) casework, SophosLabs analysis, Sophos Counter Threat Unit (CTU) intelligence, Sophos AI research, and endpoint and network observations across more than 625,000 customers worldwide.Download the full Sophos AI Security 2026 report here.About SophosSophos, a global cybersecurity leader, defends more than 625,000 organizations worldwide with Sophos Fusion, the industry's first and most complete AI-native cybersecurity defense system: a single, connected architecture where every control point operates as one.

NeevCloud Launches Agentic Studio: A Sovereign, Secure Execution Environment for AI Agents

Bangalore, July 2026 : The managed sandbox for agentic AI workloads gives enterprises full control over how, where, and within whose borders their AI agents executeNeevCloud, an Indian sovereign AI cloud infrastructure company today announced the launch of Agentic Studio. This is a managed secure sandbox environment purpose-built for running AI agents and code execution workloads in isolated, on-demand compute environments. Agentic Studio enables organisations to deploy, test, and scale AI-driven workflows without exposing production systems, a capability that takes on strategic significance as enterprises across India and emerging markets accelerate their AI adoption under the imperative of digital and data sovereignty.Closing the Execution Gap in Agentic AIToday, the premise that agentic AI systems can reason, plan, and take autonomous action has outpaced the infrastructure required to run it safely. Most enterprises find themselves caught between two unacceptable options: running agents on local developer machines, with all the attendant security risks, or deploying directly into production environments, where errors carry real consequences.“The industry has spent two years making agents smarter. The unsolved problem is giving them somewhere safe to act. Agentic Studio is designed to bridge that gap” said Vijayakumar Nadar, Chief AI Officer of NeevCloud. Organisations can create a fresh sandbox in seconds, select a base compute template, configure resources, and run agents, scripts, file operations, and multi-step task workflows all without managing any underlying infrastructure. The result is a secure, reproducible, and fully controllable execution layer for AI at every stage of development and deployment.A Sovereign AI Execution Layer for India and BeyondAt a time when governments, regulators, and enterprises are scrutinising where AI workloads run and which jurisdictions they fall within, Agentic Studio offers a sovereign execution model. By providing a managed, isolated environment that operates within India's data infrastructure, NeevCloud enables organisations in regulated industries such as banking, financial services, healthcare, government to harness agentic AI without ceding control over their data or compute to foreign cloud providers."Sovereign AI is not just about where data is stored, it is about where intelligence acts," said Narendra Sen, Founder & CEO of NeevCloud. "Agentic Studio ensures that when an AI agent retrieves a document, executes a financial reconciliation, or automates a customer support workflow, every action happens within a controlled, auditable environment on Indian soil. That is what enterprise-grade sovereign AI looks like in practice."Platform CapabilitiesAgentic Studio provides a comprehensive execution framework for AI workloads:Isolated sandbox environments that run untrusted or agent-generated code without contaminating other systemsFilesystem snapshots, pause, restore, and fork capabilities for reproducible, stateful workflowsMulti-agent orchestration by assigning separate compute environments to planning, execution, validation, and reporting agentsBrowser and VNC templates for web automation and browser-based task agentsOn-demand compute with no infrastructure management, enabling teams to focus on building rather than provisioningBuilt for Real Enterprise WorkflowsAgentic Studio is designed for the breadth and complexity of enterprise AI deployment. Targeted use cases include:Customer support automation: agents can retrieve knowledge, analyze customer queries, and draft responses in isolated environments.Coding workflows: run tests, inspect repositories, automate bug triage, and validate code changes safely.Financial operations: process spreadsheets, reconcile reports, and run controlled data workflows without exposing core systems.Document-intensive industries: extract information from contracts, invoices, claims, and reports.Research and data operations: collect, structure, and analyze information across multiple sources.Education and developer platforms: run user-submitted code for assessments, sandboxes, and interactive coding tools.Multi-agent orchestration: assign planning, execution, validation, and reporting steps to separate sandboxes.DevOps and IT automation: execute repeatable operational workflows, validation checks, and scripted tasks in isolated environments.About NeevCloudNeevCloud AI Supercloud is enabling high-performance computing accessible, affordable, and sovereign.
