AI Coding and Sensitive Security Information

I decided to test how well Claude Code handles sensitive information, and the results were revealing. Claude can generate reliable code, test it, iterate on it, write benchmark tests, and ensure it functions per the…

Designing for Attack Containment and Rebuild

Designing for perfect prevention of attacks with an AI adversary is not possible at this time. Now, more than ever, is the time to plan for when you are attacked, not if. Preparing for Agentic Attacks: What You Can Do…

A very real caution about code generation tools

We hear a lot about agentic code generation, the use of AI models to create software, but there’s a deeper problem under the surface. What happens when the model’s training includes code that later turns out to be…

Designing a small gated AI solution

For Artificial Intelligence driven or augmented applications, it’s critical that we begin with determining what policy needs to be applied to agentic actions and how we authorize those actions against a known user’s…

Dual‑Model AI Security for Resilient Threat Detection

Overview As organizations adopt AI‑driven security tooling, they also inherit a new risk: AI models can fail in correlated ways, creating a single point of failure in threat detection. A dual‑model approach — using two…

Should AI take that autonomous action? Probably not.

Classifying AI Actions Into Risk Levels Organizations have long classified data sensitivity to control who can access it, what can be done with it, and when it can be removed. We now need the same discipline for AI…

Protecting an AI Agent from unauthorized operations

I’ve been researching and reviewing what can be done to better protect against improper agentic actions. The list of mitigations may be partial, but it’s an initial engineering design for protecting ourselves from the…
