OWASP 2026 releases a brand-new security framework specifically designed for AI Agent systems, merging prompt injection and excessive agency into ASI01 Goal Hijack, covering ten attack surfaces including tool abuse, memory poisoning, and rogue agents - helping developers build complete protection mechanisms across input, tool, memory, and agent collaboration layers.
Circle releases Agent Stack with four tools - Agent Wallets, Marketplace, CLI, and Nanopayments - enabling AI Agents to autonomously hold USDC and complete payments. The x402 protocol allows Agents to automatically sign payments when APIs request payment, then receive data after on-chain settlement, fully automating micro-payments.
Anthropic’s Claude Managed Agents offloads sandbox isolation, state persistence, and fault recovery to Anthropic, so developers only need to define agent logic. The three-layer decoupled architecture (Session/Harness/Sandbox) reduces p95 TTFT by over 90%, priced at $0.08/session-hour.
