The state of AI for security: Measuring what matters most for building trust

Security teams are starting to actively use AI for security work, including vulnerability triage, penetration testing, threat modeling, incident response, and code review. The promise is speed, but a security tool that moves fast and raises too many false alarms doesn’t save time. Engineers spend time on false alarms, on-call is noisier, and teams distrust […]

Source highlights
  • It tests whether a model can distinguish real vulnerabilities from code that looks risky but is actually safe.
  • Existing benchmarks measure whether AI can find or exploit vulnerabilities.
  • This is the first to measure whether it can tell real vulnerabilities from false alarms.

AIs as Modern Genies

This essay was written with Barath Raghavan, and originally appeared in Lawfare . In April, an artificial intelligence (AI) agent conducting a routine task at a company hit a snag, tried to solve it, and soon ended up deleting the company’s database along with all of its backups. In July, OpenAI asked an unreleased AI model to attempt a hacking test. Instead of staying in the isolated box the developers had put it in, the model hacked onto the open internet and into another company to steal the answers. And as reported in August, an AI agent booked someone into a full gym class by ...

AI key takeaways
  • AI agents can complete tasks in ways that contradict their controllers' intentions.
  • AI systems may follow explicit instructions but fail to account for unstated context.
  • The 'genie coefficient' measures how far AI actions drift from human intent.

Testing race conditions with memory access tracing and stack-based delay injection

Many security bugs are race conditions, where multi-threaded execution has to occur with the right interleaving for a negative effect to appear. This creates challenges for several use cases: Confirming bug candidates that have been discovered manually or through static analysis. Regression tests: After fixing a race condition bug, there is often no good way to write a regression test that reliably triggers the bug as part of a test suite. Automatic bug discovery, such as fuzzing: It is hard for a fuzzer to exercise all interesting interleavings of concurrent operations, or reach code paths t…

Source highlights
  • Additionally, in the Linux kernel, fixes for race condition bugs are often accompanied by hand-written ASCII diagrams showing problematic thread interleavings with call graphs and relevant memory accesses (for example, see this recent rt_spin_unlock UAF fix , or this recent jbd2 deadlock fix ).
  • My tooling is largely based on ideas similar to SKI , but SKI uses a different implementation: It records memory accesses and controls scheduling of vCPUs using a patched version of QEMU in TCG mode, and uses VM snapshots to explore different execution interleavings.
  • I believe that the kernel is the right place to collect this data because it would allow the kernel to also provide higher-level information about lock acquire/release events and such, though I have not implemented this at this time.

September 2, 2026: This post was republished to include Active Directory migration strategies and automation for permission sets. AWS IAM Identity Center manages user access to Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources, including both AWS accounts and applications. You can use IAM Identity Center to create and manage user identities within the Identity Center identity store […]

Source highlights
  • Figure 1: Granting access to AWS resources for users and groups managed by an identity source in IAM Identity Center When you change the identity source, the downstream impact on these assignments depends heavily on which sources you’re switching from and to.
  • Step 3: Switch IAM Identity Center to the new identity source – Update IAM Identity Center to point to the new identity source.
  • For external IdPs, this involves uploading SAML metadata and configuring SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) for automated provisioning.

Agentic security: Detection and response at machine speed

After talking with enterprise security leaders over the past year, one thing has become clear: the rise of autonomous AI agents is the most significant shift in security posture since the move to cloud. Organizations across every industry are adopting AI agents that authenticate on behalf of users, execute multistep workflows, and make decisions across […]

AI key takeaways
  • Autonomous AI agents require continuous security monitoring due to their adaptive behavior.
  • Agent identity governance uses temporary, scoped credentials to extend zero trust principles.
  • Security controls must adapt to agentic workloads that operate with autonomy and probabilistic behavior.

VMs won't contain cyber-capable agents

As part of Patch the Planet , we received preview access to GPT 5.6-Cyber with a simple task: evaluate its cyber capabilities. Recent events inspired me to give it a challenge to work through: escape the VM I’d normally use for sandboxing. The target was a QEMU/KVM VM on my Linux dev machine (Debian Linux 12, AMD Zen3). It escaped the VM three different times. First, it used recently disclosed bugs in my host kernel. When I fully updated, it used disclosed bugs that had not yet reached package maintainers or were not classified as security bugs. When I rebuilt QEMU and dependencies from the l…

Grok exfiltrates user data when malicious instructions are encrypted

Cryptographic Context Injection is only the latest way to break an LLM safety guardrail.

Source highlights
  • Earlier this week, researchers outlined an attack that used a secret input provided by Microsoft 365 Copilot for enterprise to cause the AI assistant to exfiltrate a password present in the user’s inbox.
  • Now, a separate team has devised a similar attack against Grok.
  • The lesson from both this week’s episodes—and the countless other ones that have come before it—is that LLMs are incapable of solving the root causes for prompt injections, the most severe vulnerability classes they’re most prone to.
