An old package or a misconfigured cloud storage bucket can be identified by a legacy scanner, but it does not account for the unique risk profile of autonomous systems. It cannot confirm that an AI agent with access to your production environment can chain together a CRM read, an email send and a production write using inherited credentials. Your agents are dynamic: they plan, call tools, and act across multiple environments, and some may retain context or long-term memory beyond the original request.

A Technical blog series on where sensitive data moves in an AI workflow, what decisions Protecto makes at each point, and what enterprises get from enforcing policy once instead of everywhere.

Zero Trust is often summarized as “never trust, always verify.” More precisely, it is a security model built on the premise that trust should never be granted implicitly based on where a user, device, workload, or resource sits. That makes Zero Trust much bigger than deploying a particular product or turning on a handful of access policies.

Telling employees to “use AI responsibly” leaves too much open to interpretation.

This post is based on Mackenzie's conversation with Jason Haddix on The Secure Disclosure podcast. Listen to the full episode or watch below. Jason Haddix has topped the Bugcrowd leaderboards, run security as CISO of Ubisoft, and wrote The Bug Hunter's Methodology, the playbook a lot of working pentesters learned from, so his read on the direction of the field is worth listening to. He believes that “90% of pen tests will be done by AI” in the near future.

The blast radius of a prompt injection against your coding assistant was set weeks ago, by whoever built the dev environment image. Same assistant, same model, same injected sentence: on a laptop it collects every repository, SSH key and cloud login the developer holds; on a provisioned dev box it collects an organization token plus whatever the image left behind; on a CI runner it collects a deployment credential and a network path to production. Three environments, three incidents, one payload.
