Backslash has been named among Dun's 100 Best Startups to Work For in 2026! 🩷
The list is based on what employees say about their own workplace, which is why it means so much to us.
Thank you to our team, who earned this, and to Dun's 100 for a great event.

Our ninja finally got his first starring role, and he ended up saving the day!

“Attacks now happen at inference speed,” said @CrowdStrike’s George Kurtz at #FalConEurope, echoing what our CEO @ManShahar hears from customers: they want to move fast with AI, but ask what their agents are actually doing. Find us at Fal.Con Europe, booth #210.

🔴 LIVE WEBINAR TOMORROW. 79% of organizations reported little to no visibility into their agentic AI inventory, per Backslash customer data. @ranio1 and @JamesBerthoty of @latiotech go live on how security must adapt to agentic AI.

If your team is using Claude, are your AI agents outsmarting their endpoint cage?

We’re proud to be an Official Silver Sponsor of @CrowdStrike Fal.Con Europe 2026. Meet Shahar Man and Peter Wilcox in Barcelona, November 2–4, at booth #210.

Only 1 in 10 secrets we found in AI agent session histories was pasted by a user, and about 3 in 4 got there through the agent's own work.

A skill asking for .env was blocked, but one reading past sessions got the same keys.

Our CEO Shahar Man was interviewed by @Calcalistech about how AI agents can put an organization at risk even without a malicious attack.

Employees run 1.4 AI agents per endpoint on average, not counting subagents.

Each installation has its own skills, MCP connections and permissions, so the same approved product can carry a different security posture on each endpoint.

AI agents now run on employee laptops, and every vendor promises to secure the endpoint.

We compared 7 agentic endpoint security vendors and listed 4 tests to run on a live endpoint: discover, map, block, keep evidence.

OpenAI quietly patched security flaws in Codex via release notes. Some never got a CVE, and older versions still run with them. Our CTO Yossi Pik was interviewed by @ISMG_News on why AI coding agent fixes skip the CVE process, and why it matters. bankinfosecurity.asia/ai-coding-agen…

Backslash named AI Security Endpoint Leader in the @latiotech 2026 AI Security Market Report.

Recognized for real-time protection and intent-based runtime analysis across Claude Code, Cursor, MCP & skills.

Thanks to our customers and team 🙏

PR gates are great for verifying code changes, but let’s be real—they’re not a true defense mechanism. In our latest research, we conducted an extensive analysis of popular npm packages with over 1,000,000 yearly downloads.

New research from our team reveals a major security gap: PR gates often catch very little, and most OSS vulnerabilities are discovered long after code is merged.
