AWS Continuum integrates with OpenAI Codex and Anthropic Claude Code in major AI security push
Amazon Web Services is threading its AI-powered security infrastructure directly into the coding environments built by two of its fiercest rivals — and in doing so, it is making a bold bet that controlling the security layer matters more than controlling the model.AWS announced at Black Hat USA 2026 this month that its Continuum platform for code vulnerabilities will integrate directly into Anthropic s Claude Code and OpenAI s Codex, alongside AWS s own Kiro IDE.The move embeds AWS security tooling at the point where developers write code, regardless of which AI model they use to do it. Simultaneously, AWS expanded Security Hub Extended — its curated, single-bill security marketplace launched in February — with a 10th security category focused on supply chain protection, bringing in Chainguard and Socket as partners.Together, the announcements are AWS s most sweeping attempt yet to position itself as the default security control plane for enterprise software development in the AI era —

Brex assumes its AI agents could do anything — so it watches the network, not the code
Brex CEO Pedro Franceschi offered a blueprint for one of the pressing challenges facing the enterprise today at VB Transform 2026: securely deploying AI agents, like the open-source OpenClaw, into production environments.Unlocking this enterprise value requires a mindset shift. The industry needs to move past vague terminology and focus on concrete enterprise roles. “People talk a lot about agents, but I think agents is a terrible name. It s this Silicon Valley concept that doesn t really mean much,” Franceschi said. Instead, the goal should be creating entities that can genuinely collaborate with human workers. The concept we always had in mind was the idea of a virtual employee — someone on Slack, an entity, it has an email address, it can join meetings, you can email it, and that you can work with, Franceschi said.Realizing this vision demands a new security paradigm. Franceschi’s presentation detailed how Brex pointed OpenClaw at internal roles, realized traditional security models

What to expect from Google’s 2026 Pixel hardware launch event
It's that time of year: On Wednesday, Google is set to host its annual Made by Google hardware launch event for Pixel gadgets. Google itself has already teased new slab-style and foldable Pixel smartphones, but leaks also indicate that the company could announce updated watches, a new color for familiar earbuds, and perhaps a brand new AirTag-like item tracker. However, unusually, Google's event is taking place in the evening: It kicks off on Wednesday at 6PM ET / 3PM PT instead of in the early afternoon or mid-morning, like many other tech events. And this time it has a celebrity host in Trevor Noah. Even more strange: As noted by 9to5Goo … Read the full story at The Verge.
YouTube is making it harder to earn money on YouTube
Starting February 1st, 2027, creators who want to monetize their channel through YouTube's Partner Program (YPP) will need at least 1,000 subscribers and either 8,000 qualified watch hours over the past year, or 20 million qualified Shorts views in the last 90 days. That's a sizeable jump from YouTube's current requirement of 1,000 subscribers with 4,000 watch hours in the past year, or 1,000 subscribers with 10 million Shorts views in the last 90 days. Creators will also need to maintain 10 million Shorts views over 90 days to earn money from the Shorts Creators Pool, though falling below this threshold won't result in removal from YPP.
