Microsoft has defined AI agents working inside companies as “agentic insiders” and set out steps to control them. Security Vice President Yt Gallo said the industry has focused on external attackers while paying less attention to internal agent risks. He called frontier models untrustworthy and said a “guardian agent” should monitor agent actions before execution. Microsoft said its Project Perception can identify and manage in-house agents and respond as risks increase.

South Korea\'s Financial Supervisory Service will conclude this week an inspection into Mirae Asset Securities\' handling of subscriptions for SpaceX initial public offering shares, its chief Lee Chan-jin (이찬진) said at a parliamentary audit. A lawmaker questioned whether the inspection methods were overly coercive, citing claims that about 150 regional branch staff were summoned to Seoul and asked for call logs and KakaoTalk data. Lee said the process was delayed because documentation was not sufficiently retained during professional investor registrations done via mobile devices.
