Snowflake said it plans to acquire US-based startup Natoma to boost governance, security, and connectivity for AI agents operating across heterogeneous enterprise environments, amid growing efforts by organizations to move agentic AI workflows from pilots into production. The cloud data platform provider is betting that enterprises will increasingly require centralized governance, identity controls, and auditability as AI agents begin interacting more deeply with internal applications, APIs, and business workflows through the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard, an area in which Natoma claims to specialize. Natoma’s platform, which provides MCP-based tool access along with governance and observability capabilities, will be integrated into Snowflake to help enterprises securely connect Cortex Agents, Snowflake Intelligence, Cortex Code, and other AI platforms with enterprise systems spanning SaaS applications, cloud environments, VPCs, and on-premises infrastructure through M

Attackers drained an estimated $200,000 from DeFi liquidity pools on Ethereum — specifically Uniswap V3 — after exploiting weaknesses in the WUSD.fi and GLOVE incentive system, according to security researchers at ExVul. The attackers cycled funds through multiple wallets to repeatedly farm rewards, taking advantage of flaws baked into the protocol’s incentive structure. Related Reading: […]
The rapid uptake of agentic AI has exposed a range of issues with our non-deterministic helpers. That’s mainly because AI agents are not people and don’t behave like people, even though they generally use the same APIs as humans. For one thing, they make many more queries than a human would, as they build the necessary context to deliver a response. Anecdotal data from companies that have worked with agents or who have users who access services through agents indicate that this can mean massive increases in API usage, which have affected availability. This increase is the result of automated requests flooding in and blocking calls and responses from APIs that worked perfectly well a year or so ago but now are struggling to cope with the load. A fundamental redesign of our APIs is necessary, but budgets, resourcing, and capacity make this hard to deliver overnight. What’s needed, then, is a way to manage agent interactions with APIs, treating agents as a new class of user, providing and
