IRONSCALES deployed three AI agents to combat next-generation phishing attacks. The Red Teaming Agent uses open-source intelligence to predict organization-specific threats, while the Phishing SOC Agent automates email investigations and the Phishing Simulation Agent creates personalized security tests. Separately, IRONSCALES expanded deepfake protection for Microsoft Teams with automatic voice pattern learning—no manual setup required.

OpenAI released GPT-5.4 with native computer control capabilities—the model can now operate your computer autonomously across applications like a digital worker. They also introduced ChatGPT Agent to handle complex background tasks. Available now with Python SDK support.

Anthropic shipped Claude Cowork for enterprise management, memory import to migrate conversations from ChatGPT, and Claude Code Remote Control for developers to switch between devices mid-task. They added a free AI Academy with 13 courses.

Market impact: AI disruption erased $52 billion from cybersecurity stocks—CrowdStrike dropped 20%, Cloudflare fell 18.5%—as Claude Code's capabilities threatened legacy vendors. IBM lost nearly $40 billion after AI demonstrated COBOL code optimization.

Regulatory concern: The Pentagon formally labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk, potentially blocking access to critical technology partners.
