Databricks is buying Panther to bolster its security lakehouse platform as an alternative to legacy SIEM systems. Panther’s AI-driven SOC tools and over 100 pre-built integrations will automate threat detection, alert investigation, and response at scale.

This issue covers Databricks’ planned acquisition of Panther for AI-powered SOC threat detection and AWS’s new Continuum service that automates vulnerability discovery and fixes at machine speed. It also highlights Vercel’s secure data access tokens, Cisco and NVIDIA’s AI networking push, Iru’s config-as-code device management, Snowflake’s support for the Agentic Resource Discovery spec, and best practices against supply-chain attacks.
