An agent charged $4,000 to the wrong customer billing account. Nobody noticed until Monday. The agent wasn't broken—it was working exactly as designed. It had broad API credentials, the model picked a plausible but wrong account identifier, and nothing in the infrastructure stopped the call from going through. No identity boundary. No scope limit. No audit trail.I've seen teams react to failures like this by adding more checks inside the agent code—if-else blocks, hardcoded allowlists, manual credential rotation. That approach doesn't scale. When 3 failures hit a single AI agent deployment

The arrival of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, often referred to as Q-day, is moving from a distant theoretical mathematical challenge to an urgent timeline that security teams must plan for today. Bad actors are already engaging in harvest now, decrypt later activities. This means they are capturing and storing encrypted enterprise traffic, intellectual property, and data logs today with the intention of running them through quantum hardware as soon as it becomes available.At Red Hat, we believe taking this threat seriously means acting before the crisis arrives.
