The New Agent Control Standard Names the Controls, Not Their Value

The OWASP GenAI Security Project unveiled an Agent Control Standard in early September, donated to the project and aimed at runtime enforcement for agentic systems. It sets out that agents should be inspectable, traceable and instrumentable, with declarative hooks and policy enforcement across frameworks. ‍ It answers which controls belong around an agent.

Can Autonomous Pentesting Rescue CVE Coverage From Vanity Metric Hell?

The security industry killed CVE coverage as a credible metric, and it deserved to die. Vendors inflated the numbers for years in the name of depth, and nobody in the room had an incentive to ask whether they reflected real validated risk or just a longer signature list. So “CVE coverage is a vanity metric” became earned consensus. The question I keep coming back to is whether the autonomous pentesting era makes that consensus outdated.

Why AI Review Cannot Keep Up With the Decision

That human review becomes a bottleneck as agents scale is now widely observed. Five or ten agents working in parallel produce more decisions than one reviewer can evaluate, and under queue pressure the review degrades into approval without examination. ‍ The usual response is to move up a level, reviewing intents and boundaries rather than individual outputs.

AI Governance as a Condition of Writing Coverage

Insurers are subject to AI governance rules and they are also the party asking other organizations AI governance questions as a condition of coverage. More than twenty states have adopted the model bulletin that turns AI oversight into an operational requirement for carriers, and those same carriers now send AI questionnaires to their corporate insureds. ‍ The sector facing both is well covered. What follows from it is not, and it produces something an insured can use. ‍

Two Reporting Clocks on One AI Product, Only One Running

An AI product sold in Europe is described as facing two incident reporting duties. One under product security rules and one under AI rules, with different triggers and different deadlines. ‍ Only one of them is running. Article 14 of the Cyber Resilience Act has applied since 11 September 2026. The AI duty moved, and coverage published in the last few weeks still describes it as live. ‍
