Palo Alto Networks acquires Thrive-backed AI help desk startup Console for $500 million. Cybersecurity powerhouse Palo Alto Networks makes another massive move in the AI space. The company has acquired the two-year-old AI startup Console for roughly $500 million in cash and stock. Console originally built AI agents to handle tedious internal IT tasks. It automated password resets, granted app permissions, and resolved basic employee tickets without human intervention. Palo Alto Networks now plans to fold Console directly into its flagship Cortex platform. And the aim is straightforward: turn standard security alerts into autonomous action using natural language commands. Paying…
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman addresses hundreds of Rocketdyne employees during his stopover at the company’s facility in Redmond, Wash. (GeekWire Photo / Alan Boyle) REDMOND, Wash. — NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman came to Rocketdyne’s facility here today to give a pep talk to the space company’s employees — and lay out his vision for the future of America’s space effort. Isaacman made clear that nuclear power will be a big part of that vision. “NASA is at our best when we’re doing the near-impossible,” he said. “There is no obvious revenue model or business case for what we’re doing. We’re…
Apple has released security updates fixing up to 29 vulnerabilities across its latest Mac, iPhone and iPad software, including WebKit flaws that could expose sensitive data.

During a tense vote on a data center being built in her drought-stricken Arizona district last summer, Tucson City Councilmember Nikki Lee made an unlikely pitch: “We’re going to get a little out-of-this-world for a second, so just bear with me.”Like many of her constituents, Lee did not want Project Blue, a sprawling 290-acre data center, gobbling up an ounce of her local drinking water. “We need to put data centers where they belong,” she said, and “we don’t think data centers belong in the desert.”President Donald Trump’s recent bluster aside, it’s possible that the only thing as bipartisan as…
Hello Cyber Builders 🖖In Part 1, I went deep on the physical moats: hardware, networks, and cryptography.The argument there was that these categories survive because they depend on something AI cannot instantly replicate — physical reality, accumulated trust, and mathematical correctness. You can’t prompt your way to a FIPS 140-3 certification. You can’t generate an authentic practitioner community. You can’t guarantee cryptographic correctness with a foundation model.Today, I want to talk about three more domains where AI cannot copy what you offer, because these are not just about code.These are a different story from Part 1.In Part 1, AI is…
Nvidia Corp. is targeting artificial intelligence agent enthusiasts with a new local distributed clustering tool called the Personal AI Router. It enables them to use any idle Mac computers or PCs lying around the house to run small language models on demand and accelerate agentic workloads with the assistance of sub-agents. It was announced at IFA 2026 in Berlin today. Nvidia explained that when local AI agents are given a task to complete, they generally divide that work into a bunch of subtasks that must be completed in unison to achieve the larger goal. But if those subtasks are all powered…
Organizations are eager to dive into AI, but many initiatives still stall before they deliver meaningful results… or never move beyond experimentation.
