Falešný policista vám oznámí napadení účtu, pošle průkaz a úředně vypadající dokumenty. Následují dlouhé telefonáty, převod peněz na „bezpečný účet“ nebo žádost o úvěr, který má údajný útok zastavit. Moderní bankovní podvody nestojí především na technických dovednostech. Jejich hlavní zbraní je psychologická manipulace.

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is still trust-based. In the past, a router would announce it originated a block of address space, and its neighbors would take that claim at face value. That trust model is the reason a single misconfiguration or a deliberate false announcement can pull traffic for someone else’s network across the planet, and why routing security has become a core concern for anyone responsible for keeping services reachable. 

The Trump administration is recruiting private security firms to conduct federal government-authorized operations, including cyberattacks, against overseas-based criminal organizations that commit hacks on US persons, organizations, or government entities.

In a National Security Presidential Memorandum issued Thursday, US President Donald Trump directed the National Coordination Center (NCC), which operates under the Homeland Security Task Force, to develop a program for conducting specific cyber operations that combat foreign transnational criminal organizations (TCOs). The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security will provide oversight. The lynchpin of that program is bringing in private sector companies to participate.

Devil will be in the still-undefined details

A fact sheet that accompanied Thursday’s memo listed ransomware, sextortion schemes, phishing campaigns, financial fraud, and impersonation scams as activities eligible for private-sector security firms to target. The memo said such firms could “conduct Cyber Surveillance Operations and Cyber Effects Operations” against “cyber-enabled” TCOs. Such groups are defined as “any foreign group that conducts cyber-enabled crime against the United States Government, a United States person, or United States interests, and that is not an institutional part of a foreign government or wholly operated under a foreign government’s direction.”

Apple now has a long and storied history in wearables. The Apple Watch set expectations for the category, replacing Swiss watches on so many wrists on its journey to become the world’s most widely worn wearable AI device. But is Apple making the most of the technology it has now developed — and is there another opportunity waiting to be explored?

Apple seems to think there might be. Mark Gurman recently reported the company is exploring a wider family of wearables, including products such as fitness bands and rings. And while the latter certainly represents a viable opportunity, the fitness band market seems ripe for a good bit of Sherlocking.

Why is it ripe? 

The technologies Apple already has

First, think of the technologies Apple can already bring to a fitness band product. The sensors, algorithms, and software the company has already developed would certainly make sense in wristband form when used with a paired iPhone to review the data the band collects. Apple’s sensors have a good reputation for accuracy and could deliver outstanding battery life. They could carry a smaller display to show limited amounts of information, such as time or distance travelled. And I expect the company’s product design teams could build a high-quality health and fitness band with very little effort, as some of the key technologies to support such a device have already been tried and tested on Apple Watch.

Privacy as a product

The second reason is competitive. Apple knows that in Europe under the Digital Markets Act it will eventually be forced to give third-party devices, including fitness bands, peer access to the kind of data it already uses in the Apple Watch. The company has suggested a protected system in which that information is shared (once it has been cleaned up to protect customer privacy), but EU regulators have not yet agreed – and perhaps never will.

The problem at the moment is that Apple doesn’t make a fitness band other than Apple Watch. And there are enough Apple customers who use third-party bands that the company might see an opportunity to bring its own versionto market as a fitness band that doesn’t erode privacy. Ironically, EU competition regulators have given Apple a reason to compete for a market it didn’t originally want to get into — to the likely detriment of incumbents in the fitness band space.

What customers want

The third reason is the nature of the market itself. Recent success by the likes of Fitbit Air, Cirqa, or Whoop show growing interest among consumers for screen-free, all-day trackers. 

“Consumers want either minimalist, screenless trackers they can wear 24/7 or feature-rich sports watches with superior accuracy and multi-day battery life,” Jason Low, research director at Omdia said in a statement. “Premium and screenless devices are gaining ground, while basic watches and mid-tier smartwatches are being left behind.”

Apple leads the smartwatch side of the equation with a 46% global share, Omdia says, while Garmin (with 15%) posted the biggest share gain among non-Apple vendors. “Garmin’s market share gains highlight a clear trend: consumers are increasingly willing to pay premium prices for devices that deliver accurate, advanced training data and translate it into actionable insights,” Low said. 

What Apple offers

Apple already has its own market-tested technology to provide accurate and advanced fitness monitoring if provided on a screenless device. As its business is not built on selling the data its devices gather, it can supplement those high-quality features with privacy promises some other vendors don’t match, while offering additional features and services through integration at a platform level. Add Siri AI to the mix and access to Apple Music and the device seems even more compelling.

Apple might be motivated to boost attachment rates to customers who will update iPhones, Macs and other Apple devices less frequently in response to recent price increases. The logic is that if customers can’t afford a new iPhone, they might invest in an Apple Watch, AirPods, or fitness band instead, becoming more deeply invested in Apple’s ecosystem as they do.

The potential returns seem promising: the fitness tracker market is expected to $generate 189 billion by 2032. That’s real money Apple already has the tech to take a grab at – and its years of work on colorful Apple Watch bands means it could offer its bands in a wide selection of designs at a price consumers will find they can afford.

With the launch today of the AI Collaborators feature in Workfront, Adobe aims to bring AI agents directly into the flow of work as permissioned team members that can be assigned tasks.

Three types of these ‘collaborators’ are now generally available in Workfront. A content reviewer agent automatically checks documents in the work management app against brand guidelines. A project coordinator tracks project progress and keeps stakeholders up to date. 

Then there are “task agents” that let customers connect external AI agents to Workfront and assign them work.

The task agents are geared towards a variety of purposes — a social media manager that turns briefs into published posts, a performance analyst that reports on how campaigns are faring, or a content designer that creates visuals and layouts.

To set up a task agent, users provide a name and description of the agent’s purpose, then connect it to an agent platform, with Anthropic’s Claude, Microsoft’s Copilot Studio, and Writer currently highlighted as options. 

Once it’s ready to go, users can assign work to the agent in a Workfront project just as they would a human user. 

As the agent carries out its tasks, an auditable trail of actions is recorded via the Workfront “update stream.” That allows humans to review outputs, such as AI-generated copy, and approve or adapt the result as needed.

Only admins are permitted to create AI Collaborators within Workfront. 

With the launch of AI Collaborators in Workfront, Adobe’s intention is to deploy AI agents where work actually occurs, said Brent Rudewick, vice president for strategy and product management for Adobe GenStudio and Workfront. That, in turn, can help customers shift AI investments from proof of concept to production. 

“The challenge we were solving is: how do we bring an agent into the context of the workflow as an authorized, permissioned user?” said Rudewick. “That’s what an AI Collaborator is.”

In many cases, employees might already use their own AI agents — be that ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or other tools. But those agents are removed from important information relating to work tasks, said Rudewick. 

“Workfront already has all that context because it’s got the previous briefs you’ve done, the previous content, and it understands the knowledge graph of how that stuff works,” he said. “You’re bringing that agent into a system that already has all of the context: it knows what it needs to go and do, instead of you having to tell it every time you go into one of those other surfaces.”

“This is a step in Adobe’s evolution of AI and automation capabilities,” said Jessica Liu, principal analyst at Forrester. “It follows in the direction of the overall technology market.” 

Marketers are looking to automation to gain efficiency, she said, though effectiveness is “unfortunately more of an afterthought at the moment.” 

Any automation benefits will depend on organizations having well-designed processes and workflows, Liu said. “Technology that can support marketers in those efforts is helpful, but only if marketers can help themselves first,” she said. “Specifically, they need to have processes and workflows that are diagnosed, scoped, designed, implemented, and optimized. It’s very difficult to automate a process or workflow that is broken or non-existent.”

At the same time, Adobe wants to make it easier for Workfront users to access the feature from third-party AI agent tools via a model context protocol (MCP) client. At launch, this enables users to take actions such as creating a campaign record, assigning work, approving content and more from ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and others.  

“We want to give choice to the customer,” said Rudewick. “If the enterprise has decided, ‘Hey, Claude is the predominant surface we’re going to use,’ we want them to be able to use that surface and not be blocked to get the value that they have in their application investment in Workfront.

“If you boil Workfront down to its most rudimentary sense, it’s a campaign, it’s a project, it’s a task, it’s an assignment, and it’s an approval — that’s really what Workfront is, so how do we expose that through whatever surface?”

The emergence of AI tools that can perform tasks on behalf of users has been viewed as a threat to software companies such as Adobe. But even as Adobe opens Workfront up to third-party AI platforms, Liu believes the company’s AI investments can help ensure customers remain in the Adobe app. 

“For marketers who use many Adobe products, having Workfront AI Collaborators operate within Adobe’s ecosystem should be easier for data transfer, access management, and user interface and experience,” said Liu.

AI Collaborators are available at no additional cost to Workfront customers (Adobe does not publish Workfront prices). However, using the “task agent” AI Collaborator could incur additional costs for third-party agents that connect to Workfront.
