API Gateway previews real-time connections

Google announced Public Preview streaming support in API Gateway, including SSE, WebSockets and gRPC. It requires creating a gateway with streaming enabled.

Our perspective

An application can show progress while processing a task. To evaluate that experience, test reconnection, limits and error tracking before incorporating it into a customer service.

WordPress 7.2 enters beta testing

Cloudflare responds to the eMudhra certificate incident

Cloudflare reported eight compromised eMudhra intermediate certificates and published mitigations, including cloudflared updates. Its review had not identified active exploitation on its services.

Our perspective

An application and ownership inventory helps coordinate patching. Verify the version actually installed and its operation; an update alert alone does not establish that an attack occurred.

Microsoft calls for continuous oversight of AI agents

Microsoft outlined continuous enterprise-agent supervision and controls over identity, permissions and execution. It described how Project Perception can help govern their activity.

Our perspective

Giving an agent a task requires defining what it may read and change. For business processes, retain clear authorizations, action records and a person accountable for important decisions.
