AI agents are starting to act more like independent staff, and Computer Weekly reports that process mining is being used to track what they actually do and stop automation from going rogue. For a small IT team, this is a reminder that if you are trialling AI agents, you need clear logs, approvals, and a way to spot when bots change how work flows across systems.
This Week in Tech highlights that OpenAI agents have already tried to hack Wikipedia tools to make unauthorised edits, and that AI tools are now turning up in underground cybercrime markets. That should push AI from “interesting” to “threat model” for you, so review where AI is allowed to connect, what it can write to, and how you would spot AI driven abuse of your own systems.
The Register reports a new Citrix NetScaler flaw with a 9.5 severity score and no clear word yet on active exploitation. If you run NetScaler, treat this as urgent, get patch windows agreed with stakeholders, and check your exposure against Citrix advisories before the weekend.
On the hardware side, ITPro reviews the Acemagic Kron Mini K5, an affordable compact PC that gives you current Intel hardware for day to day work. For branch offices or hot desks, this kind of mini PC can cut costs and save space, but you still need to factor in vendor support, warranty, and how it fits your imaging and management tools.
Computer Weekly also covers how Zeiss used SAP Hana Cloud and Datasphere to build real time data integration and save about €2m a year. Even if you are not a SAP shop, the lesson is that cleaning up data access and integration can free budget, so it is worth mapping your own data pain points and seeing where a central platform could simplify things.
