Why risk alone doesn’t get you to yes

I have been in security rooms for years, from military operations centers to corporate boardrooms. In all those years I can tell you that the hardest mission that most security leaders will face is not identifying a threat, but getting someone to act on it. We’re trained to see exposure before they are identified by others. We continually assess likely threats, evaluate impact, and design controls to prevent disruption long before it reaches operations or … More → The post Why risk alone doesn’t get you to yes appeared first on Help Net Security.

ShipSec Studio brings open-source workflow orchestration to security operations

Security teams have long relied on a mix of shell scripts, cron jobs, and loosely connected tools to chain reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning work together. ShipSec Studio, an open-source security workflow automation platform from ShipSec AI, aims to replace that arrangement with a dedicated orchestration layer built specifically for security operations. What the platform does ShipSec Studio provides a visual, no-code workflow builder that lets operators connect security tools into automated pipelines without writing glue … More → The post ShipSec Studio brings open-source workflow orchestration to security operations appeared first on Help Net Security.

Breaking out: Can AI agents escape their sandboxes?

Container sandboxes are part of routine AI agent testing and deployment. Agents use them to run code, edit files, and interact with system resources without direct access to the host. The SandboxEscapeBench benchmark, developed by researchers at the University of Oxford and the AI Security Institute, evaluates whether an agent with shell access can escape a container and reach the host system. Evaluation architecture and scenario taxonomy (Source: AI Security Institute) What SandboxEscapeBench measures SandboxEscapeBench … More → The post Breaking out: Can AI agents escape their sandboxes? appeared first on Help Net Security.
