CrowdStrike's 2026 Threat Hunting Report shows AI-enabled adversary activity climbing 89% year over year, with alerts triggered by AI agents growing at two and a half times the pace of those triggered by humans. The findings are drawn from CrowdStrike's OverWatch platform, which monitors more than seven trillion events daily.

The report also points to a shrinking window for defenders: between January and June 2026, 88% of vulnerabilities with publicly available proof-of-concept exploits were actively targeted within 48 hours of disclosure.

When Hurricane Lala struck Hawaii with winds of 91 mph before weakening into a tropical storm, T-Mobile combined field crews with newer technology to maintain connectivity across the islands. Ahead of landfall on 12 August, the carrier pre-positioned emergency response teams, portable generators and backup power gear in vulnerable areas.

As ground-based cell sites came under strain, T-Mobile turned to its T-Satellite service, built on Starlink's network, to keep critical links open.

Drug development timelines are often held back less by scientific hurdles than by regulatory overhead, since pharmaceutical companies must balance the potential of AI against strict compliance demands. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is addressing that tension with ADD AgentHub, a platform built to embed specialised agentic AI directly into clinical operations and drug-safety workflows.

Rather than functioning as a simple productivity add-on, AgentHub sets up a structured, role-based AI workforce designed to carry out complex enterprise tasks alongside human specialists.

Amazon has confirmed plans for a 7.65GW natural gas power plant in Pecos County, Texas, sited alongside a large data centre campus known as GW Ranch. The build calls for 35 turbines dedicated solely to powering the company's data centre operations.

Once complete, the facility's output would surpass that of the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state, which produces roughly 6.8GW — underscoring the scale of power now required to support AI infrastructure.

Key Takeaways

• →AI-enabled cyberattacks rose 89% year over year, per CrowdStrike's latest threat report.
