If a threat actor can influence what gets indexed and retrieved, they can influence what the model says or does. In simple QA systems, that may mean misinformation or unsafe recommendations.

The lethal trifecta matters more now than ever because AI tools can read your data, absorb instructions, and act on your behalf. That means a poisoned email, webpage, or document could trick your AI into leaking information or taking actions you never approved. The more AI becomes your assistant, th

Why faster discovery and higher volume can still leave teams blind between vulnerability reports. Why scanners and inventories are necessary, but not enough to explain attacker focus and intent. What “between-reports visibility” actually means (without the product pitch). What we believe security te

Over the last few weeks, we’ve explored what AI is changing in security: discovery is faster (Vulnpocalypse now?), volume is higher (Common AI misconceptions debugged!), and the human layer triage (The AI Impact), judgment, and prioritization has become more important, not less (CEO Insights). But t

Security teams running Bug Bounty programs often require similar insights and reporting to prove the value and ROSI for security initiatives, and often ask questions such as: What changed? Where are we spending? Are we improving? What needs attention right now? Until now, answering those questions o

As part of our recent AI series, I’ve been sharing my insights on the key topics, questions, and debates currently shaping the industry. I have covered my opinions regarding holding the human layer sacred in the AI era, where I explored what I deem is the beating heart of the Bug Bounty industry, AI

AI is changing the volume and accelerating the pace of vulnerability submissions. If you've been following our recent AI series, you already know that submission growth isn't a quality problem; it's a coordination problem.

As part of our AI series, I recently released a blog on the topic of keeping the human layer sacred in the AI era. There, I shared my thoughts on where human intelligence fits, the decisions I believe companies will face in the next 3 to 5 years, and explored what I deem to be the beating heart of t
