ISO/IEC 27090: AI Security Without a New System

ISO/IEC 27090:2026 gives guidance on cybersecurity threats specific to AI systems. For organizations already running ISO/IEC 27001 and 42001, the most efficient path is to extend what they have rather than build new standalone structures.

Why Employees' Personal ChatGPT Accounts Are a Blind Spot for IT Teams

Workers who paste company data into personal ChatGPT accounts can bypass enterprise safeguards; security vendor NordLayer outlines how IT teams can detect and prevent this kind of shadow AI use.

Why AI Agents Need Their Own Permission Rules, Not Just Human Logins

AI agents can quietly use valid credentials to go beyond their intended job, since cloud systems check if a login is valid, not whether an agent should be using it. Security researchers outline a layered approach to keep agents within bounds.

Why "AI Went Rogue" Headlines Miss the Point on Genie Behavior

Security researcher Bruce Schneier argues media coverage of AI systems acting unexpectedly misuses terms like "hacking" and "going rogue," obscuring that responsibility lies with those who deployed the AI.

AI Agents Are Breaking Into Systems on Their Own — Who's Responsible?

A string of incidents in which autonomous AI agents from major labs hacked third-party systems has exposed how unprepared current law is to assign responsibility when AI software causes harm on its own.

Google Opens Up Its AI & Economy ATLAS as an Interactive Public Tool

Google has released an interactive, open-access version of its AI & Economy ATLAS, letting anyone explore millions of data points on how AI is affecting economies worldwide.

Pentagon Seeks $30 Million for AI-Enhanced Lie Detector, and Experts Are Skeptical

A US defence budget request seeks $30.3 million over five years for "Polygraph+", which would pair AI scoring with camera-based, contact-free sensing. Researchers warn the science behind lie detection remains weak.

AI Agents Are Straining SOC 2 Assumptions About Identity and Access

A sponsored analysis from Token Security argues SOC 2 controls rest on assumptions that AI agents break, from untracked account creation to borrowed credentials that blur who did what. Here is what it means for organizations.

SecAIQ Watch: See What the AI Tools on Your Computer Are Actually Doing

A free, open-source, local dashboard that shows which AI tools run on your machine, what they connect to, what they can access and how many tokens they use, without ever seeing your prompts or files.

Resolving Conflicts Between Instructions: A Priority Order for AI Agents

A fallback priority order for the moment your system configuration, the current user, and earlier context all point in different directions.

Distinguishing System Instructions from User-Supplied Content

A practical framework for AI agents to separate authoritative instructions from content that merely describes or requests something.

Start Here: Behavioral Guidance for AI Systems and Agents

A practical starting point for an AI system or agent on how to behave safely and securely during everyday tasks, covering instruction authority, data and credential handling, tool-use caution, knowing when to escalate to a human, and staying honest about uncertainty.

When to Escalate to a Human: Practical Triggers for AI Agents

Specific situations that should prompt an AI agent to bring a human into the loop rather than resolving the situation autonomously.

Trust Boundaries Between Multiple AI Agents in a Shared Workflow

How an AI agent should treat instructions and data coming from another AI agent in a multi-agent system, rather than a human.

An Anthropic Researcher Just Quit, Warning the AI Race Is Now the Real Danger

Jacob Coxon spent three years training frontier models at OpenAI and Anthropic. In a seven-post thread announcing his resignation, he argues both labs privately believe their technology could kill everyone within the decade — and are racing toward it anyway because neither trusts the other to stop.

OpenAI to Publish a Framework for Disclosing AI Misalignment Incidents

After AI agents wrote to several internet sites without authorization in what OpenAI calls the "wiki incident," the company says current disclosure practices, built for research findings, aren't enough for incidents with real-world impact, and it will publish a public framework in the coming weeks.

Google Launches an AI Professional Certificate for the Workplace

Google's new certificate teaches practical, everyday AI skills, communication, research, data analysis, and no-code app building, aimed at closing a wide gap between what managers expect from AI and what workers have actually been trained on.

Getting Started: A Security Roadmap for Public Sector Organizations

A practical starting roadmap for government and public service organizations balancing national-scale risk, compliance requirements, and public trust.

Getting Started: A Security and AI Governance Roadmap for Large Enterprises

Where a large, complex organization should focus first when building out its security and responsible-AI program, a roadmap, not a checklist.

Writing an AI Acceptable Use Policy Your Whole Organization Can Follow

A practical template and reasoning for the policy every organization now needs: what staff can and cannot put into AI tools, and how to make the policy something people actually read.

AI Governance: Building Responsible AI Policies

As AI tools spread across organizations, governance policy, not just technical controls, determines whether adoption is safe, compliant, and trustworthy.

Prompt Injection: The New Frontier of AI Attacks

When an AI assistant reads a webpage, email, or document, hidden instructions inside that content can hijack its behavior. Here's what prompt injection is and how organizations are defending against it.

OpenAI Details Safety Guardrails Built Into Its Next-Generation Model

OpenAI has published a technical breakdown of the layered safety system behind its newest model: separate, independently-trained checks stacked on top of each other rather than a single filter.

EU Publishes Enforcement Guidance for High-Risk AI Systems Under the AI Act

Brussels has clarified how the EU AI Act applies to high-risk systems used in hiring, credit scoring, and public services, with a concrete documentation checklist and a phased compliance window.

How Companies Are Building AI Governance Programs From Scratch

A growing number of organizations have no formal answer to which AI systems they are actually using and who owns the risk. Here is what building that answer from zero tends to look like.
