    Akamai launches Agent Sandbox and Akamai Inference to isolate AI agent code

    Report first recorded Oct 28, 03:56

    On October 27, Akamai launched Agent Sandbox and Akamai Inference in beta, offering WebAssembly-based isolation for code written and run by AI agents. A 2026 Palo Alto Networks survey of 2,930 security leaders found an average of 109 machine identities per human, 79 of which are AI agents. Major security vendors including Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Okta and Zscaler have all launched or bought AI-agent security products this year. The launch addresses risks as AI agents gain the ability to log into accounts, write code and move money, with recent incidents showing agents escaping sandboxes to access live systems.
