  • Why Software Supply Chain Security Cannot Stop at SBOMs

    Software bills of materials have become one of the most visible controls in software supply chain security. They provide a machine-readable inventory of the libraries, packages, modules, frameworks, and other components associated with a software product. When a new vulnerability is disclosed, an SBOM can help an organization determine which applications may contain the affected…

  • Visual Prompt Injection: How Malicious Instructions Hide in the Interface

    Prompt injection was first treated mainly as a text-security problem. An attacker typed a tempted to override its system rules, and tried to make the model produce restricted information or perform an unintended task. Multimodal models and computer-use agents have changed that threat model. Instructions no longer need to arrive through a chat box. They…

  • Remote MCP Servers Are Turning OAuth Into an AI Agent Security Boundary

    As AI agents move from chat interfaces into production systems, the security question is no longer limited to what a model can say. It is now also about what the agent can reach, what tools it can invoke, and which user-linked accounts sit behind those tool calls. That shift is what makes the Model Context…

  • AI Agent Security Needs to Move to the Tool-Call Boundary

    AI agents are becoming useful for the same reason they are becoming risky: they can act. They can browse websites, read files, call APIs, search repositories, invoke MCP servers, use skill files, modify documents, and trigger workflows across external systems. That makes them very different from older chatbot deployments, where most risk stayed inside the…

  • AI Agent Tooling Is Turning Metadata Into an Attack Surface

    AI agent security is beginning to move beyond the familiar problem of malicious prompts. The more serious issue is what happens after the model is connected to real systems. Once an AI assistant can reach files, APIs, databases, SaaS platforms, code repositories, ticketing queues, and internal workflows, the security boundary is no longer just the…

  • Vulnerability Management Is Outgrowing Severity Scores

    Vulnerability management has always involved a mismatch between volume and capacity. Security teams identify thousands of findings across endpoints, cloud workloads, SaaS platforms, network appliances, containers, applications, and third-party software. Remediation teams do not have unlimited time, and many systems cannot be patched without maintenance windows, regression testing, uptime planning, or business approval. That is…

  • How AI Use Creates New Compliance Challenges

    AI adoption is creating a new class of compliance risk that does not fit cleanly inside traditional policy, audit, privacy, or security programs. For years, most compliance programs were built around known systems, known data flows, defined user roles, documented vendors, and repeatable business processes. Artificial intelligence changes that operating model. It introduces probabilistic outputs,…
