Security teams are moving from experimenting with AI to deciding where AI should actually live in their operating model. Some organizations are building agents internally. Security vendors are embedding agents into their products. Others are evaluating standalone platforms that can coordinate AI across the existing security stack. The technology choice matters, but the architectural choice […]

Two 2026 awards, and what putting an AI security workforce into production teaches us about the hard parts. Bricklayer AI has recently won two cybersecurity awards: the Fortress Cybersecurity Award in the Agentic AI Security Platform category, and the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Award for Agentic AI Security Platform of the Year. Bricklayer gives security teams AI […]

Bring humans and AI agents into the approval process with explicit requirements, relevant context, and control over when actions execute. An agent identifies a compromised workstation at 2 a.m. The investigation points to active malicious behavior, and containment could prevent further damage. But permission to isolate that device depends on more than the detection itself. […]

Bricklayer’s Agentic Policy Enforcement architecture connects runtime enforcement with the context, authority, and policy that govern how autonomous work gets done. NVIDIA’s announcement of its Open Agent Safety Platform caught my attention because it puts independent enforcement at the center of the conversation about autonomous agents. As agents become more capable, the systems around them […]

I’m a father of four, and I’ve recently started teaching my oldest daughter how to drive, which is an experience all by itself. To be clear, she isn’t taking the car anywhere on her own yet. But that day is coming soon, which is both exciting for her and slightly terrifying for me. 😬 Teaching […]

New architecture gives AI agents persistent, governed access to process enterprise-scale data As we build increasingly sophisticated AI agents at Bricklayer, we keep running into the same limitation: Enterprise information is being treated as temporary input to individual agents instead of persistent, governed infrastructure shared across the AI workforce. Most agent architectures retrieve information, convert […]

CrowdStrike’s latest announcement deserves attention—not simply because another major security company has introduced AI agents, but because of how those agents are being organized. CrowdStrike is bringing data, detection, specialist agents, shared context, orchestration, governance, and response together inside the Falcon platform. Its agents can investigate different security domains concurrently, build on one another’s findings, […]

MCP Gives AI the Tools. Expertise Teaches the Craft. I have a lot of woodworking tools—saws, drills, routers, sanders, and probably more than I really need. But owning those tools doesn’t make me a craftsman. Put the same tools in the hands of someone who has spent 20 years building furniture, and the outcome will […]

Bricklayer AI announces numerous new upgrades and enhanced features in response to customer feedback, product roadmap development. Learn more.

Three wake-up calls in four months. The industry is testing the attacker. It also needs to rethink the defender. Faced with autonomous attackers, the cybersecurity industry has largely converged on the same response: more testing. In April 2026, Anthropic disclosed that Mythos, restricted from public release, had autonomously discovered and exploited thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities […]

How Stating an Objective Becomes the Primary Way to Operate the Bricklayer Platform Every new capability added to enterprise software has traditionally meant another menu, another configuration screen, another playbook, or another integration to manage. As platforms became more powerful, they also became more complicated. Users spent as much time learning how to operate the […]
