AI is Actively LEAKING Your Data (And You Don't Know It) #apisecurity #airisks #dataprotection #ai

AI agents don't think. They pattern-match. Critical to understand: Generative AI (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) does NOT reason like humans. It: The API Security problem: When you give an AI agent access to an API, it will: AI agents can't reason. They recreate patterns based on weights. You need to be very careful: data in, data out. Practical example: text User: "Show me the account balance for user" AI agent → calls GET /api/account/123 API → returns { balance: 5000, name: "John", SSN: "123-45-6789" } AI agent → outputs EVERYTHING to user (including SSN!)

Fast, Secure, Resilient: Modernizing Application Security at Scale

Software release cycles are now too fast for traditional security tools. Rapid iterations and reliance on open-source and cloud-native tech increase vulnerabilities, challenging AppSec teams to keep up. Attackers are taking advantage, targeting applications and exploiting misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and vulnerable plug-ins.

Introducing Forward AI

As enterprises move toward agentic operations, speed without data accuracy becomes a liability. At Forward Networks, we recognized this challenge and set out to deliver a solution: speed backed by mathematical accuracy. In networking, acting on incomplete or approximate data is not an inconvenience, it is a cause of outages, security exposure, and operational risk.

Beyond Pattern Matching: How AI-Native File Classification Solves Modern DLP Challenges

Legacy DLP operates on a fundamental constraint: it identifies sensitive data by matching patterns. Credit card numbers follow the Luhn algorithm. Social Security numbers conform to a nine-digit format. API keys match specific string patterns. This approach works for structured data, but it fails to address a critical reality: Your most sensitive assets aren't numbers. They're documents.

Measuring Agentic AI Posture: A New Metric for CISOs

In cybersecurity, we live by our metrics. We measure Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), Dwell Time, and Patch Cadence. These numbers indicate to the Board how quickly we respond when issues arise. But in the era of Agentic AI, reaction speed is no longer enough. When an AI Agent or an MCP server is compromised, data exfiltration happens in milliseconds rather than days. If you are waiting for an incident to measure your success, you have already lost.

Introducing Moltworker: a self-hosted personal AI agent, minus the minis

The Internet woke up this week to a flood of people buying Mac minis to run Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot), an open-source, self-hosted AI agent designed to act as a personal assistant. Moltbot runs in the background on a user's own hardware, has a sizable and growing list of integrations for chat applications, AI models, and other popular tools, and can be controlled remotely. Moltbot can help you with your finances, social media, organize your day — all through your favorite messaging app.

Episode 7 - Practical AI for Zeek, MITRE, and Security Docs

In Episode 7 of Corelight DefeNDRs, join me, Richard Bejtlich, as I sit down with Dr. Keith Jones, Corelight's principal security researcher, to discuss the practical applications of AI in enhancing network security. We delve into how large language models (LLMs) can assist in cleaning up documentation and generating Zeek scripts, sharing insights from our extensive experience in incident response and coding. Keith reveals the challenges and successes he has encountered using LLMs to streamline processes, including their role in analyzing MITRE techniques.

Vibe Coding Speeds Up Mobile Apps But Creates New Security Risks

AI-assisted development has crossed a tipping point. Mobile teams are no longer debating whether to use AI to write code. They are deciding how fast they can ship with it. This shift, often called vibe coding, prioritizes intent and speed over manual implementation. Developers describe what they want, and AI fills in the rest. Velocity improves. Releases accelerate. But security assumptions quietly break. For mobile applications, that risk compounds.

The Role of Reliable IT Services in Modern Business Growth

Modern businesses run on digital rails. When those rails are reliable, teams move faster, customers stay happy, and leaders make decisions with confidence. Reliable IT services turn technology from a cost center into a growth engine - not through flashy tools, but through steady, predictable outcomes that compound over time.
