Secure Use of the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2): A Framework for Trustworthy AI-Driven Transactions

Secure Use of the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2): A Framework for Trustworthy AI-Driven Transactions

Cloud Security Alliance • • cloudsecurityalliance.org

Written by Ken Huang, CEO at DistributedApps.ai and Jerry Huang, Engineering Fellow, Kleiner Perkins. Abstract AI agents used in e-commerce necessitates secure payment protocols capable of handling high-determinism user authorization, agent authentication, and non-repudiable accountability. The Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) [1], an open extension to Agent2Agent (A2A) [2] and Model Context Protocol (MCP) [3], introduces Verifiable Credentials (VCs) in the form of crypto

Imperva Enhances Client-Side Protection to Help You Stay Ahead of PCI-DSS Compliance

Blog • • www.imperva.com

When the latest PCI DSS 4.0 requirements came into full effect in March 2025, organizations processing cardholder data faced new obligations to protect payment pages from client-side risks. Requirements such as 6.4.3 (script inventory, authorization, and integrity monitoring) and 11.6.1 (detection of unauthorized changes) demanded stronger visibility and control than many teams had in place.

Hackers Compromise Active Directory to Steal NTDS.dit that Leads to Full Domain Compromise

Hackers Compromise Active Directory to Steal NTDS.dit that Leads to Full Domain Compromise

Cyber Security News • • cybersecuritynews.com

Active Directory (AD) remains the foundation of authentication and authorization in Windows environments. Threat actors targeting the NTDS.dit database can harvest every domain credential, unlock lateral movement, and achieve full domain compromise. Attackers leveraged native Windows utilities to dump and exfiltrate NTDS.dit, bypassing standard defenses. The adversary in this case obtained DOMAIN ADMIN privileges via a

We're seeing more "perfect" messages - native idioms, brand-matched PDFs, even convincing voice calls. Shiny tools help, but the core is Zero Trust habits: assume channels are compromised; verify identity and authorization every time. Key ideas I'm proposing: Trust no channel; verify every request. For any money move, access change, or data exfil risk: do out-of-band verification using a known number/video/passphrase or signed approval. Make this muscle memory.
