Security leaders emphasized that AI agents can behave like insider threats if not tightly governed, while prompt injection remains a durable risk for tool-using systems. The week’s outlook reporting reinforces that AI-driven phishing and faster exploitation cycles will pressure identity, supply chain, and resilience controls in 2026.
AI threats follow familiar patterns. Learn how to map prompt injection, agents, and data poisoning to MITRE ATT&CK-style thinking and defend AI systems with confidence.
A new “Lies-in-the-Loop” attack pattern exposes risks in AI safety workflows, Ciphero raises funding for runtime AI security, Anubis launches an open-source AI firewall to block scraping, and Darktrace enhances defenses against AI-driven social engineering.
AI Power Users: Safe & Smart AI Tips – Issue #34 Introduction When something goes wrong in a traditional system, security teams instinctively ask the same questions: What happened? When did it start? What was accessed? Who or what initiated… Read More ›
