A billion-dollar deal for agent identities
Data security company Cyera signed a letter of intent on July 28, 2026 to acquire Oasis Security for roughly $1 billion. Oasis inventories non-human identities such as service accounts, tokens, bots and AI agents, flags over-permissioned accounts, and can rotate or retire credentials. The transaction has not closed yet, and Oasis is expected to run as a separate unit afterwards.
Microsoft Ads brings the preview hub to Performance Max
Microsoft Advertising extended its ad preview hub to Performance Max campaigns on July 27, 2026. Opening an asset group and selecting the preview shows eligible ad formats across devices and placements. The tool also generates a secure, shareable link so clients and stakeholders can review the creative without account access.
