Anthropic has announced the expansion of its Claude Cowork AI agent to web and mobile platforms, currently in beta for Max subscribers with Pro, Team, and Enterprise support coming soon. The update allows users to monitor and manage long-running cloud-based tasks across devices. The rollout follows an analysis of 1.2 million anonymized sessions showing that business operations make up the largest share of usage at 33.4%, followed by content creation at 16.4% and software development at 8.7%. Security analysts warn that persistent background agents expand the enterprise attack surface, noting that 88% of surveyed IT leaders deploying AI agents reported security incidents over the past year.
In their words
“The deployment velocity is dramatically outpacing governance. A background agent reading email, files, and calendars while the user is offline requires very precise scoping of what it can access and what it can act on.”
“Always-on or persistent agents expand the attack surface because they continuously access enterprise systems and data.”
