Applying Zero Trust Principles to Agents - Kieran Human - ASW #397
Sandboxing, least privilege, and monitoring are well-established controls in terms of the defenses they provide against unexpected and unauthorized actions. But being well-established in theory doesn't always translate to successful in practice. Kieran Human talks about some of the properties that a good sandbox should have and how monitoring creates a feedback loop to refine allow lists and access controls. In practice, the potential unpredictable behavior of an agent isn't much different from malware. We talk through some of the ways orgs can securely deploy agents without unnecessarily increasing their attack surface.

Augmenting Threat Intel Analysis with Agents - Chris Wallis, Sai Kiran Uppu, Ramin Farassat - ASW #396
All sorts of cybersecurity disciplines are adopting agents to help humans save time and automate routine activities. Sai Kiran Uppu describes his work on creating a platform for agents to analyze external threat intel, examine internal systems, and present triage decisions to operators. This type of work is especially useful to orgs that deal with petabytes of data and thousands of systems. And, as Kiran notes, it's important to keep that scale from blowing up your budget or turning triage into a procession of false positives. Ideally, this kind of threat intel that's paying attention to attack trends and searching internal systems for evidence of compromise also turns into proactive defenses. We talk about some of the ways to engage developers to improve security visibility into their services and harden their designs against common attacks. After that discussion we're running two sponsored interviews from Black Hat. AI Pentesting and the Future of Cybersecurity: Black Hat interview with Chris Wallis, Founder and CEO of Intruder This segment discusses how AI addresses the long-standing gap between traditional pentesting and automated vulnerability scanning. Intruder CEO and founder Chris Wallis dives into the nuances of AI-enabled security and how these offerings will impact mid-market security teams.

How Menlo Security Is Securing AI Agents from Prompt Injection: Black Hat Interview with Ramin Farassat, Chief Product Officer of Menlo Enterprises are deploying AI agents like Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and Claude Code faster than they can secure them, and attackers are exploiting that gap through prompt injection. Hidden instructions get buried in web pages, files, and even images that a human would never notice but an AI agent reads and acts on. Menlo Security is building Menlo Agent Runtime Security (MARS) to close that gap, running every agent session in an isolated cloud that sanitizes content before an agent can act on it. Ramin Farassat, Menlo Security's Chief Product Officer, will discuss why the exposure lives in the connectors and integrations around the model rather than the model itself, and how security teams can put controls on the agent attack surface without blocking agentic AI outright.

Using LLMs for Vuln Discovery - Rishi Sharma - ASW #395
Finding flaws has always been a focus of appsec. And now with open source projects and open weight models orgs have modern tools to review code and conduct pentests. Rishi Sharma describes the motivation behind creating a platform of LLM-driven security tools and the effective ways to keep the tools in scope, on budget, and for engineering teams. We talk about how prompts influence LLM activity, as well as the external constraints to keep the LLMs on task. And even if finding flaws is a major focus of appsec, its goal should be delivering secure software and systems. We touch on some of the ways to keep bugs from creeping back into software and why it's more important to care about vuln classes than vuln counts.

Prompting for Patches That Fix Vulns Without Adding New Ones - Keith Hoodlet - ASW #394
There's already an increase in volume of security flaws found by LLMs. And orgs are already turning to LLMs to write code. So, what happens when orgs lean on LLMs to create patches for those security flaws? Keith Hoodlet gives an exclusive early look at his team's recent research into the success, quality, and failures of LLM-generated security patches. Notably, they saw scenarios across a spectrum from robust, effective patches to patches that changed the software's behavior to patches that introduced new vulns to patches that didn't even fix the original vuln while also introducing a new vuln. The research considers factors like quality and correctness of prompts, complexity of the target software, programming language, and expertise required to understand what a robust patch should look like. If you're going to spend tokens on fixing security flaws, you want a feedback loop that fixes them correctly -- not an infinite loop of new flaws creeping in with every LLM iteration. Watch for this research, its toolset, and data to be released on Thursday August 6th during Black Hat. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/asw for all the latest episodes!

Inside the OWASP Agent Security Regression Harness Project - Mert Satilmaz - ASW #393
Orgs need to be able to use agents, MCPs, and LLMs in ways that don't lead to unexpected actions and undesirable outcomes. The OWASP Agent Security Regression Harness project is an approach for defining customizable scenarios and testing whether those systems fail against known security threats. Mert Saltimaz talks about the background of the project, how orgs can use it as they bring more LLMs into their environment, and how the project intends to grow. Importantly, we also talk about the security controls and designs that orgs can build around the systems and data that models interact with in addition to evaluating the security of the agents and agent harnesses themselves.

MacOS Security Design Features, Flaws, And Futures - Patrick Wardle - ASW #392
Appsec often frames usability and security as at odds with each other. Apple's software has famously emphasized the importance of usability while also creating a solid security foundation. Patrick Wardle talks about how he's seen malware shift from Windows to macOS, how Apple's aggressive stance on deprecation benefits security, and the areas of the OS where he still sees plenty of opportunity for more security research. We discuss how developers make defensible design choices, why privacy needs security, and some security principles that any app developer should keep in mind regardless of their programming language or operating system.

Discovering & Securing Your AI Agent Attack Surface - Jeremy Snyder - ASW #391
While LLMs and agents are new to appsec and everyone else, a lot of AI security requirements translate to well-known API security requirements. Jeremy Snyder helps us frame the OWASP LLM Top 10 into five layers in order to help orgs understand and prioritize their attack surface. A lot of orgs don't have to deal with model-specific threats or building their own GPU architecture, but every org adopting LLMs and agents should be aware of how those agents are being invoked and the output those agents are producing. That awareness of input and output helps in identifying and mitigating prompt injection attacks, ensuring agents are working within their expected boundaries, and taming token budgets.

Defense-in-depth strategies for securing mobile applications - Ryan Lloyd - ASW #390
Mobile applications have unique risks and threat models compared to server-side applications and infrastructure. Consequently, they need different strategies to ensure their business logic and workflows well secured. We'll dive into some of these defense-in-depth strategies and why they are important to mobile applications. Securing workflows goes beyond input validation and pattern matching suspicious payloads; it requires detailed attention to state machines, edge cases, and collecting signals to evaluate trust.

Reducing Attack Surface & Evaluating Efficiency in Agents - Itamar Apelblat, David Goldschlag - ASW #389
SquidBleed reveals another vuln that's been lurking for decades, but its real lesson is in managing an attack surface. Regardless of whatever programming language you use, removing code is one of the best security steps you can take, followed by changing default configs to turn off uncommon features and ancient protocols. The Linux kernel's removal of strncpy is another example of managing attack surface by replacing a notoriously misused and ambiguous function with more specific versions that better match the developers intent. It was a six-year journey for the kernel, but one that should remove a class of vulns and, importantly, improve performance. Then it's on to agents with a discussion of the newly released OWASP AISVS and yet another example of evaluating LLMs as code reviewers. Agentic AI Has an Identity Problem AI agents are already running inside enterprise environments, operating on credentials, API tokens, and cloud roles that most security teams have never inventoried. When an agent acts autonomously across production systems, the security question is no longer just what it can do but who it is and whether that identity is governed at all. Itamar Apelblat, Co-Founder and CEO of Token Security, discusses why identity is the right lens for understanding agentic AI risk and what practical steps security teams can take now. Segment Resources: https://www.token.security/product https://www.token.security/lp/ai-agent-identity-security-buyers-guide-ebook https://www.token.security/enzo https://www.token.security/ai-agent-calculator This segment is sponsored by Token Security.

How AI Is Reshaping Identity Security at the Infrastructure Layer - Amit Masand, Neha Duggal, Ev Kontsevoy - ASW #388
Appsec has seen machine identities from daemons and processes to services, microservices, and cloud accounts. And now we have agents. Ev Kontsevoy talks about what it means to have engineers and agents interacting in an environment, and why a focus on actions can be more effective than roles. One of the biggest challenges in securing agents along with all of the other identities that organizations manage is how fragmented that management has become. But a unified engineering view of identities is just a start. Once you're able to shift to a practice where access is granted based on attributes and limited durations, then your environment becomes more resilient to mistakes and unexpected actions, not to mention the security concerns that come with agents acting on their own. Who Is Responsible for an AI Agent's Actions? As AI agents gain the ability to access systems, invoke tools, and take action on behalf of users, organizations need clear frameworks that define responsibility for machine-driven decisions and outcomes. This segment examines how accountability, delegation, and attribution can be established across users, developers, security teams, and business stakeholders. Neha will explore how governance models support transparent, auditable agent-driven workflows while helping organizations manage risk and maintain trust. This segment is sponsored by P0 Security. Visit https://securityweekly.com/p0idv to learn more about them! The rapid rise of agentic AI and non-human identities is fundamentally reshaping the future of identity security, challenging traditional IAM and PAM models built around predictable human behavior. In this executive interview at Identiverse 2026, Amit Masand discusses how autonomous systems, AI agents, and machine identities are creating new operational and governance challenges for modern enterprises. Drawing from more than two decades of industry experience, the conversation explores the growing complexity of continuous governance in a world where identities increasingly operate at machine speed.

Why Does It Matter Who or What Created the Code? - Matias Madou - ASW #387
Agents and LLMs are creating and reviewing code. They're a new tool to help developers write software and they're a new abstraction layer for expressing what code should do. But if we're focused on determining whether code is secure, where do we focus our attention on ensuring a secure outcome? Matias Madou talks about the challenges of finding metrics to help answer these questions. We walk through many of the questions we'd like to see answered and our desire to see appsec (finally?) shift out of a find-and-fix mode into a future of secure design.

Scanner Results Are a Starting Point. Here's What Comes Next. - Federico Kirschbaum - ASW #386
Most AppSec teams are working through more findings than their teams can validate. SAST surfaces thousands of potential issues. DAST generates alert volume that outpaces triage capacity. Somewhere in that output are the vulnerabilities that matter, the ones that are actually exploitable in production. This conversation explores why automated testing often stops short of the hardest part of the job: proving what is real. We dig into how business logic flaws and authorization vulnerabilities get missed by tools that scan without reasoning, what exploit validation looks like at runtime, and how security engineers are shifting toward findings that developers will actually act on. The segment is sponsored by XBOW.

We dedicate an episode to catching up on appsec news with Kalyani Pawar. We see parsing problems that led to the BadHost vuln, which exposed lots of LLMs, MCPs, and agents to potential compromise. We wonder where to look for security education and practice as the camaraderie of the CTF community becomes infiltrated by LLMs. We talk about the tradeoffs in trust between using public packages vs. having agents write replacements from scratch. And we examine some of the appsec details that the Verizon DBIR reveals about how orgs are being attacked -- and how orgs might use that information to protect themselves.

Why Basic Security Practices Still Work - Rob Allen - ASW #382
If you have to ditch your entire appsec strategy because you expect 2026 to bring more vulns more quickly, then you probably didn't have a good strategy in the first place. Rob Allen shares how the mentality of "assume breach" doesn't have to be a defeatist attitude and can instead be a way to change a catastrophic breach into a more contained one. We also talk about proactive security and what an "avoid breach" attitude could look like, including how to apply the macro lessons of default deny and network isolation to writing secure code.

The Human Aspect of Red Teams - Brian Fox, Tom Tovar, T. Gwyddon 'Data' Owen - ASW #379
Red team exercises set goals to see if a particular outcome can be accomplished through a simulated attack, but the ultimate outcome should be educating the org about how to improve tools and processes that make attacks more difficult to succeed. Gwyddon "Data" Owen shares his experience building a red team, creating an exercise, and leveraging the results to improve security. And while the adoption of LLMs will accelerate a red team's activities, there are still plenty of foundational security controls that orgs can establish that would require a red team to be more than just fast, but fast and very careful. Coding Agents Are Getting More Cautious, But Not Safer A new study finds that while frontier AI coding models are hallucinating less than they did a year ago, they still preserve a significant amount of avoidable software risk when left ungrounded. Sonatype's research shows that connecting these models to real-time software intelligence dramatically improves remediation quality and reduces critical and high-severity vulnerability exposure by 60–70%. The takeaway is clear: safer AI-assisted development will depend not just on better models, but on grounding them in accurate, current dependency and vulnerability data. This segment is sponsored by Sonatype. Read the study: https://securityweekly.com/sonatypersac How We Achieve Agentic Outcomes in CyberSecurity: The "Do-It-For-Me" Mobile Defense If you look at deepfakes, synthetic identity, social engineering, and new malware variants coming to market, it seems like attackers have a first-mover advantage in using AI. The volume and variety of threats are growing faster than the current cyber stack can address. Against this backdrop, organizations are moving away from "do-it-yourself" delivery models (more tools, more alerts, more headcount) to "do-it-for-me" agentic AI delivery models (using platforms that unify data, execute policy, and automate outcomes). The emphasis outside of cyber is on empowering the expert human-in-the-loop — so teams spend less time in the noise and more time delivering business outcomes.

Securing Software's Journey with the OWASP SPVS - Ido Geffen, Rohan Ravindranath, Cameron W., Farshad Abasi - ASW #378
It's one thing to write secure code, it's another to release it into the wild. That code needs to be designed, built, tested, released, and maintained. Farshad Abasi and Cameron Walters explain how the OWASP Secure Pipeline Verification Standard picks up from where ASVS left off, how it complements other supply chain security efforts like SLSA, and why they updated it with explicit coverage for AI.

Cloning Attacker Tradecraft: Why AI Pentesting is Becoming Essential Enterprises ship code continuously, but most security validation still happens in snapshots. Novee CEO and co-founder Ido Geffen explains what "AI penetration testing" means, why it's different from automated scanning, and why it's becoming essential as attackers adopt AI to move faster. He breaks down what separates best-in-class AI pentesting: operator-like reasoning across real environments, validated exploitability, and the ability to uncover business logic flaws and multi-step attack chains. Ido covers the technology behind Novee's AI penetration tester: a proprietary LLM model, built independently of "frontier" LLMs (like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.), and consistently outperforming them at browser exploitation tests.
