The Copilot app gains controls for files, networks and credentials, bringing execution boundaries into the evaluation of local coding agents.
AI Security / Field guide
A clever jailbreak is only one signal. Useful adversarial testing follows the data, permissions and consequences of the full application.
AI Security / Explainer
Data poisoning can target training, adaptation and retrieval. Provenance and controlled updates matter long before a suspicious answer appears.
AI Security / Analysis
Employees adopt useful assistants faster than policies can name them. A workable response starts with the data and the task.
AI Security / Analysis
When an AI assistant reads the outside world, it must decide what is evidence and what has authority. That boundary is the security problem.
