New platform capabilities safeguard enterprises from the next frontier of cyber risk: autonomous AI agents inside business-critical SaaS. Obsidian Security, leader in SaaS security, today announced the launch of SaaS AI agent defense, giving enterprises the first purpose-built solution to govern how AI agents access data in SaaS environments.

Private credit GPs anticipate continued AUM growth, led by senior debt and asset-backed finance; cross-border lending set to surge. More than four fifths (82%) of limited partners (LPs) say they expect to increase allocations to private credit over the next three years, according to a new international study by CSC, the leading provider of global business administration and compliance solutions. Of these LPs, around two fifths (42%) expect “significant” growth in private credit exposure, underscoring the momentum and positive investor sentiment towards the asset class. The research that canvassed the views of 300 general partners (GPs) and 200 limited partners (LPs) in Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America, found that portfolio diversification was the primary motive behind greater allocation (according to 76% of LPs), ahead of attractive returns (36%).
