Giving AI agents access to code repositories has obvious risks, particularly in the case of public repositories where malicious prompts may be hidden in new issues, pull requests or comments. In order to address this, there are guardrails which, GitHub claims, makes its agentic workflows safer than simply running AI agent CLIs directly inside an Action. That approach "often grants these agents more permission than is required," the team said. The security architecture has several layers.

Andrew Lintell, GM for EMEA at Claroty, adds, “With 12% of OT devices expected to carry known exploitable vulnerabilities (KEVs) and 7% linked to ransomware campaigns, industrial cybersecurity will need to be treated as a continuous operational priority.” · ICS is a nut caught between cybercriminals and state actors, and between them it will increasingly be targeted and cracked in the coming years. The overriding belief is that ICS will seek and require greater resilience in 2026, although Trevor Dearing, Director of critical infrastructure at Illumio stresses the need to go further into ‘anti-fragility’, “Aiming not just to withstand attacks, but to emerge stronger from them…

Question: Vietnamese PM visit US Gaza peace talks February 18 2026


Now I have enough information to compile a diverse briefing. Let me organize the items:

**TECH (GitHub/Security):**
1. GitHub Agentic Workflows now in technical preview (The Register) — https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/17/github_previews_agentic_workflows/
2. GitHub Secure Open Source Fund: security results across 67 open source projects — https://github.blog/open-source/maintainers/securing-the-ai-software-supply-chain-security-results-across-67-open-source-projects/
3. Chinese hackers (UNC6201) exploiting Dell RecoverPoint zero-day CVE-2026-22769 since mid-2024 (Mandiant/BleepingComputer) — https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/chinese-hackers-exploiting-dell-zero-day-flaw-since-mid-2024/

4. Alibaba's Qwen 3.5 launch is shaking up the market with pricing 60% below major competitors like OpenAI and Google — https://www.newsx.com/tech-and-auto/alibaba-launches-qwen-35-shocks-ai-world-with-model-60-cheaper-than-openai-anthropic-and-google-gemini-heres-how-it-could-change-the-global-ai-race-168065/

**AI Industry:**
India's AI Impact Summit 2026 featured Modi discussing AI as a civilisational turning point, with announcements around job creation and workforce training initiatives.

OpenAI has flagged rising cybersecurity threats in AI systems reaching elevated threat levels, though I need to track down the specific source for that claim.

**Global Politics:**
Ukraine and Russia resumed peace negotiations in Geneva on February 18, with both sides expected to make statements as talks continue.

Vietnam's Communist Party General Secretary To Lam is currently visiting the United States.

Taiwan is conducting a comprehensive review of its $40 billion defense budget following the Lunar New Year period.

**Markets:**
The Federal Reserve's January meeting minutes are being released today, with investors watching closely for signals about potential rate cuts—current market expectations show a 92% probability the Fed will hold rates steady in March, with inflation sitting at 2.4%.

Bitcoin is trading around $68,000, and Michael Saylor's company has converted $6 billion into the cryptocurrency.

The broader stock market is showing resilience with the S&P 500 and airline stocks bouncing back, while investors await Walmart's earnings report Thursday and the upcoming PCE inflation data.

**Science:**
The International Space Station's Expedition 74 now has seven crew members conducting microgravity-based life science experiments, and researchers have discovered that bacteria aboard the station can extract platinum and palladium from meteorites in the microgravity environment.

I've got 12 items total now, so I should verify there aren't any duplicate URLs against what I've already covered. I'm checking these new sources for duplicates and making sure I'm not over-representing any single topic—the crypto crash warning, the spinal cord recovery breakthrough, and the Science Daily piece all look fresh. Now I need to figure out the timestamp conversion to format the briefing correctly, since it's currently 2:40 AM UTC which translates to the previous evening in Eastern time. I need to find a better source for the Taiwan story since that Reuters link is too general. Vietnam's To Lam visit to the US would be a stronger specific story to include instead. Now I'm organizing the briefing into 12 items across tech, AI, and other categories, starting with GitHub workflows and security initiatives, followed by the Chinese hacker group exploiting Dell vulnerabilities, and moving into AI stories like Alibaba's Qwen release. I'm settling on the AI section with just Alibaba Qwen 3.5 and the India AI Impact Summit, then moving the security stories over to tech where they fit better. For the tech section, I've got GitHub's agentic workflows in preview, their open source security fund results across 67 AI projects, and the Dell RecoverPoint zero-day that Chinese hackers have been exploiting since mid-2024. Modi framed AI as a civilisational turning point at India's summit while tech leaders convened. On the geopolitical front, Ukraine and Russia are in day two of Geneva talks with statements pending, and Ukrainian drones have struck over 240 Russian targets. Vietnam's Communist Party chief is making his first US visit for discussions on Gaza.

For Taiwan, I'm looking for a more specific article on their $40 billion defense budget that parliament will prioritize after Lunar New Year, given US concerns about delays—the Reuters China section has the reporting but I want to pin down the exact URL rather than just linking to the section page.

Let me pivot and focus on stories I can solidify: the Ukraine Geneva talks on day two, Vietnam's To Lam visiting the US, and then I need one more geopolitical angle. I'm considering either the Islamabad mosque bombing that killed 31 people or the China-Japan tensions piece from Asia Times about sanctions against the Takaichi government. I'm seeing the rest of that China-Japan sanctions story about how Chinese tourism to Japan has dropped significantly, along with market updates on the Fed minutes release today and Michael Saylor's strategy around Bitcoin holdings and bond conversion. I'm settling on the FOMC minutes and the Saylor Bitcoin bond conversion story as my market sources. For science, I've got two solid ISS stories — one about the expanded crew and microgravity experiments, and another about microbes extracting precious metals from meteorites in space, which is a fascinating proof of concept for future mining operations.

That rounds out my briefing to twelve items. Now I'm drafting the message with the correct timestamp — it's 2:40 AM UTC on Wednesday the 18th, which converts to 9:40 PM EST on Tuesday the 17th.

Composing the briefing now with sections for tech and AI news, starting with GitHub's agentic workflows and security initiatives, then the Dell RecoverPoint vulnerability disclosure, and moving into the AI section with Alibaba's new model launch. Looking at the geopolitical tensions between China and Japan—Beijing's maintaining restrictive measures while discouraging tourism, which has cut visitor numbers in half. On the markets side, the FOMC minutes are coming today with traders watching for rate-cut signals, and there's Michael Saylor's aggressive strategy of converting MicroStrategy's convertible bonds into equity while Bitcoin sits near $68K despite extreme fear sentiment. The ISS Expedition 74 is also expanding.

The space station's new crew member is studying how the body adapts to microgravity, and there's a significant breakthrough in space mining—bacteria successfully extracted platinum and palladium from meteorite material in orbit, demonstrating the viability of asteroid mining for future resource extraction and settlement. I've got a solid mix of geopolitical, financial, and scientific developments here, so I'm ready to send this out.

Got enough material. Let me compile and send the briefing now.
