AI Agents Boost Enterprise Security and Desktop Software

Check Point announced an Agentic Network Security Orchestration Platform that uses autonomous AI agents to manage zero‑trust policies. The system shifts from static rules to intent‑based policies, dynamic risk‑based controls and a single orchestration layer. CTO Jonathan Zanger said security teams can set business intent while the agents handle rule creation, policy tightening and virtual patching.

In late July 2026, Perplexity released a Personal Computer agent for Windows that automates tasks across local files, Microsoft‑365 and the web, integrating with Claude Opus 4.7 and over 20 AI models; subscriptions start at €185 per month. Synsira launched Kind Local Pro, an offline‑only Windows tool that indexes up to 10,000 files and answers using only local data, priced around €73 with a free tier. An open‑source project, Seelen UI, also debuted for Windows 10/11, offering a Rust‑based tile manager, custom taskbars, widgets and live backgrounds at no cost.
