This is why platforms like ServiceNow AI Control Tower are showing up in governance roadmaps. Control Tower helps organizations standardize how AI systems are requested, reviewed, cataloged, and managed across their lifecycle. It can bring order to chaos. But there’s a second, equally important reality: the strongest governance workflow in the world can’t govern what it can’t see.

In our previous two posts, The ABC’s of Ishing and From Lure to Breach, we broke down the foundational tactics used by cybercriminals to deceive users and gain unauthorized access. This follow-up report expands on that foundation by exploring three evolving phishing threats that go beyond traditional email lures: clone phishing, deepfake phishing, and Captcha phishing.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers facilitate the integration of third-party services with AI applications, but these benefits come with significant risks. If a trusted MCP server is hijacked or spoofed by an attacker, it becomes a dangerous vector for prompt injection and other malicious activities. One way attackers infiltrate software supply chains is through brand impersonation, also known as typosquatting—creating malicious resources that closely resemble trusted ones.

Most large organizations rely on multiple vulnerability and exposure scanning tools out of necessity. Infrastructure scanners, cloud security platforms, application security testing tools, container scanners, and attack surface management solutions all play a role. Each one is designed to answer a specific question. But when it comes to understanding the risk of the vulnerabilities and exposures they detect, each tool has its own approach to quantifying it.

In the first round of the AI gold rush, most conversations about AI security centered on models: large language models, training data, hallucinations, and prompt safety. That focus made sense when AI was largely confined to generating text, images, or recommendations. But that era is already giving way to something far more consequential.
