Current AI models can perform many tasks such as generating text, but these are 'prompted' -- that is the AI isn't acting by itself. But this is about to change with the arrival of agentic AI.

Gartner estimates that by 2028, 33 percent of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than one percent in 2024, enabling 15 percent of day-to-day work decisions to be made autonomously.

Generative AI is already defeating traditional identity verification (IDV) methods like knowledge-based authentication, 2FA, and more.

This shift is likely to see the acceleration of new forms of IDV in 2025 that place a greater emphasis on ensuring they're both more secure and easy for people to use. This will result in a convergence of customer identity and access management (CIAM) which essentially gives customers more control over their identity and verification.

Today, 1Password shared some news about a hacking attempt that happened in late September 2023. The company saw some suspicious activity on a software tool they use called Okta, which helps manage apps for their employees. This strange activity was later found to be connected to a known security issue with Okta’s support system.

On September 29, someone from 1Password’s tech team got a surprising email that helped them find this weird activity in their Okta software. They traced this activity back to a suspicious computer address. Someone unauthorized had got into the Okta software with high-level access. This situation looked a lot like known hacking attempts where bad actors get into high-level accounts to mess with security settings and pretend to be users within the company being targeted.

If you aren't using an online cloud-based password manager to both create and store your various passwords, you are doing yourself a great disservice. True, storing your passwords in the cloud seems counter-intuitive, but in reality, it is far more secure than re-using passwords or writing them down. Of course, you should make sure you are also using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) whenever possible too.

On the desktop, there are many password managers for Windows and Mac, but on Linux, things are far more limited. For instance, 1Password is arguably the best password manager in the world, yet despite a decade of requests for it to come to Linux, it never did. Sure, Linux users could use the 1Password X browser plugin, but there was no native Linux version. Well, folks, the time has finally arrived. Following a lengthy Beta period, today, developer Agilebits finally releases a stable 1Password for all modern Linux distributions!
