Securing AI Plugins and Toolchains: Defense Beyond the Model
Introduction: The Model Isn’t the Only Attack Surface When we talk about securing generative AI, we often focus on the model itself its weights, its training data, its prompt vulnerabilities. But in modern systems the model is just one piece. Many solutions chain the model with plugins, APIs, orchestration layers, agent tools, and external services.…

Poisoned at Birth: The Hidden Dangers of Data Poisoning in Generative AI
Introduction: When the Seed Is Tainted In the world of generative AI, we often focus on runtime threats – prompt injection, model leaks, hallucinations. But what if the problem began before the model ever answered a question? When training or fine-tuning data is manipulated, the model is “poisoned at birth.” That means the flaw is…

Exposing Hidden AI Threats: Beyond the Hype
We live in a golden age of AI hype: chatbots that write essays, image generators that conjure new worlds, agents that orchestrate workflows. But behind the sheen lies a less glamorous, more dangerous side: hidden AI threats that lurk beneath the surface. These threats are subtle, often silent, and by design evade easy detection. If…

AI Security in the Age of Regulation: EU AI Act, NIST RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001
The rise of artificial intelligence poses enormous benefits from efficiency gains to new products but also introduces new classes of risks (bias, misuse, privacy, safety). Regulators and standards bodies globally are racing to codify guardrails around AI. In this new era, AI security is not just a technical engineering challenge, but also a compliance, governance,…
