Acalvio Technologies Launches Deception Guardrails to Secure Autonomous AI Agents

Cyber deception technology provider Acalvio Technologies launched Deception Guardrails, a preemptive defense capability designed specifically to secure AI agents. The platform deploys credible honeytokens and honey skills in the files and configuration surfaces that AI agents read as operational context. If an agent is compromised or goes rogue, the system detects the unauthorized lateral movement, feeds fabricated data to the attacker, and alerts the security operations center.

Department of War Suspends CMMC Phase II Requirements

The U.S. Department of Defense and the Small Business Administration announced a temporary pause on Phase II of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program. The program requires defense contractors to undergo third-party assessments to verify compliance with the 110 cybersecurity requirements outlined in NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2. During the pause, the Pentagon will rely on contractor self-assessments to enforce baseline cybersecurity standards while focusing on tangible cyber hygiene over administrative overhead.

Claude Code CLI Consumes 4.7x More Tokens Than OpenCode in Benchmarking Study

Claude Code CLI Consumes 4.7x More Tokens Than OpenCode in Benchmarking Study

A benchmarking study by Systima.ai revealed that Anthropic's Claude Code CLI consumes 33,000 tokens before processing a user's prompt, while the open-source OpenCode CLI uses only 7,000 tokens. The disparity is driven by Claude Code's system prompt and its 27 pre-configured tool schemas, which account for roughly 24,000 tokens of the initial payload. Additionally, Claude Code frequently rewrites its prompt cache mid-session, generating up to 54x more premium-billed cache-write tokens than OpenCode on identical tasks.
