Cloudflare has launched new Zero Trust tools to secure enterprise AI use, tackling risks from “Shadow AI” and unsafe prompts. While AI security is essential, TheMarketAI.com Take questions the tradeoff: will heavy controls depress usage or reduce AI’s effectiveness? Balancing safety and efficiency may be the toughest challenge in bringing AI into the enterprise at scale.

Tokyo-based semiconductor startup EdgeCortix has raised nearly $100M to accelerate its edge AI chips. While cloud computing has dominated AI, edge systems process data locally — crucial for autonomous vehicles, defense, and emergency response where speed, security, and resilience matter. Still, edge AI has limits: it can’t match cloud-scale compute and often needs connectivity for complex tasks. TheMarketAI.com Take: The future of AI will be hybrid — cloud for scale, edge for

Palo Alto Networks is acquiring CyberArk for $25B in a move that reflects a deeper industry shift: identity security is becoming as essential as cloud infrastructure in the AI era. As agentic AI and autonomous systems proliferate, the need to secure not just people — but also machines and software agents — is critical. CyberArk’s 71% stock rise over the past year is a clear market signal: the cybersecurity stack is being redefined for AI-first environments.
