Permiso develops software that detects suspicious activity and malicious behavior in cloud infrastructure, including a tool called SandyClaw that tests AI agents in a sandboxed environment (an isolated testing area) before they are deployed. This acquisition reflects growing demand from enterprises to secure AI systems as they become more integrated into business operations.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["industry","security"],"sourceUrl":"https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/30/okta-buys-ai-security-startup-permiso-source-says-for-about-200m/","publishedAt":"2026-07-30T16:09:42.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Okta","Permiso Security"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-07-30T16:09:42.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":null,"aiComponentTargeted":"agent","llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
