Never got around to reading the AIDF series? Now you can watch the scenarios play out instead. First up is AIDF-001, where a finance-team analyst pastes classified numbers into a personal ChatGPT account to get through month-end close faster. Watch four telemetry sources fire on it in under three seconds, then see what each one missed. Network clocked a 41 kilobyte upload and none of its contents. Identity had the who, not the what. The extension saw the paste, nothing past the browser. The catalog knew the vendor, not who reached it. See where the four of them overlap and month-end close turns into a regulatory obligation.

The hardest question in agentic security is three words long. Who did this? Network tools can confirm that an API call happened. They can't tie it to the agent behind it, or the human behind the agent. Not when agents run on ephemeral credentials that outnumber human identities by wide margins. So the shadow agent stays an anonymous session, and the investigation stops there. The AI Interaction Data Fabric establishes a behavioral baseline for every monitored agent, and ties each agent to the human who deployed it and the systems it touches. Attribution draws on volume, cadence and destination, read across sources instead of a single log. Just 2 minutes on what that looks like, and what it takes to see it โฌ‡๏ธ

A filesystem tool was called with a path resolving to a credentials file. Fifty-three milliseconds later, four live credentials came back through the same boundary. The network logged an already-open connection. The endpoint logged a program it had watched all day. The agent's own telemetry logged a successful 61-millisecond call. Every system recorded the moment accurately. Every system recorded it as normal. That is the shape of most AI exposure we see. Not a control that failed, but several controls that each reported the truth and none of which held the whole of it. So we started a series about it. ๐™๐™๐™š ๐˜ผ๐™„ ๐™๐™ง๐™ž๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™ช๐™ก๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™Ž๐™š๐™ง๐™ž๐™š๐™จย takes one event apart per issue, follows it from start to finish, and shows how our AI Interaction Data Fabric reads across every connected source to catch what no source could alone. hubs.li/Q04z-tqY0

#Dapper, the 2010 Google paper that gave the industry traces and spans, sampled one trace in 1,024. Ample for catching a latency regression, because a regression recurs and the next sample catches it. As a record of who authorized a privileged action, the same rate leaves 99.9% missing, and the missing part is where the one event that mattered lives. That gap is the subject of new Kovrr Research. Five production coding agents, instrumented and captured against a live OpenTelemetry collector on an identical task. Part 1 covers the half that works. Four questions agent telemetry answers well today, including one that nothing else in your stack can touch. The action boundary. The moment an agent stops reasoning and runs a command. Network inspection sees TLS to a model endpoint, whether the agent went on to summarize a README or read a credentials file. Endpoint detection sees a process that spawned a shell, which is what developer tools do all day. Identity sees a token that was already issued. The distinguishing information is in the tool call, and the tool call exists in exactly one place. Read Part 1 of 3: lnkd.in/dj6wpyTf #AISecurity #OpenTelemetry #AIGovernance

Thousands of AI signals move through your company every day. A prompt here. An upload there. On their own, almost all of them look harmless. Mostly they are. The risk lives in how they line up. Kovrr is launching a new detection series. Every issue follows a single incident from start to finish and shows how our AI Interaction Data Fabric reads across every connected source to catch what no source could alone. ๐ˆ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ž ๐Ž๐ง๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž: ๐˜œ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ป๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜Š๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜Ž๐˜—๐˜› ๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ, ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜‹๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ข ๐˜œ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ ๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ.

Shadow AI showed up in 43% of security incidents last year, roughly double the year before. 68% of the companies that got breached had no policy governing AI use at all. A new Forbes piece by Guney Yildiz digs into why, and it leans heavily on a point our co-founder and CEO Yakir Golan has been making for a while: most AI risk isn't the model, it's how people and agents actually use these tools. Data leakage, over-broad permissions, third-party vendor exposure. His read is that usage risk accounts for 70 to 75% of the exposure, and that companies should probably manage as if it's even more. The reason it goes unmanaged is simple. You can't price or govern what you can't see. Visibility of the full AI estate, approved and shadow, has to come before the risk number that reaches the board.

By now (hopefully), most organizations have begun creating an AI inventory. However, itโ€™s far from complete. Shadow AI, tools provisioned by individual teams or employees outside of any formal oversight, is far more prevalent than leadership even realizes. It's the AI equivalent of shadow IT, except the risk compounds faster because these tools are often ingesting sensitive data with no record of what they're accessing or what decisions they're informing. The kicker is that the governance challenge isn't just a matter of surfacing all shadow AI once. It's more so building an approval process functional enough that teams have no incentive to work around it in the first place. If the sanctioned path is too slow or too restrictive, people will find another one. They always do. Discovery is the precondition, but sustained control should be the goal. ๐Ÿ“„ More on how to build an AI inventory that accounts for sanctioned, shadow, and blocked AI: lnkd.in/d6UaNwEr #AIGovernance #ShadowAI #CISO #GRC #EnterpriseAI

A survey conducted earlier this year found that only 36% of organizations have visibility into where their data is processed, trained, or inferred. In other words, the vast majority of enterprise data environments are operating with governance that covers a single platform, maybe two, while the rest run without oversight. Now layer AI on top of that. Training data, inference data, retrieval data, etc. All of it is flowing from an ecosystem that has only been partially mapped. When the underlying data is of poor quality or inadequately traced, the consequences show up directly in model behavior. You get drift, hallucinations, outputs that no one can explain. AI governance starts with data governance, and data governance starts with knowing what you actually have. ๐Ÿ“„ Full breakdown in the practitioner's guide we co-authored with CISO Christiane (Chrisi) Baetz, CISSP, CISA of the Financial Conduct Authority >> lnkd.in/d6UaNwEr

AI governance is starting to come up more often in boardroom conversations. But most organizations are still figuring out what it means to build a program that holds. The starting point is always data. Most organizations significantly underestimate how much of their data environment is ungoverned, and that blind spot follows them. From there, governing the AI systems built on top of that data, and securing them against a threat surface that traditional frameworks were never designed to cover, requires a level of cross-functional coordination that most programs haven't achieved yet. CISO Christiane (Chrisi) Baetz, CISSP, CISA, partnered with our CEO Yakir Golan and the experts at Kovrr to put together a practitioner's guide built around three interconnected pillars: 1. Data governance 2. AI governance 3. Security If you're building an AI governance program or wondering why the one you have isn't holding up, this is worth reading. lnkd.in/d6UaNwEr

๐Ÿ“ฃ Weโ€™re introducing a new way for organizations to approach ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ EU AI Act compliance. Start automating the process today! lnkd.in/dWDyz9gD As the regulation moves toward full enforcement, teams are under increasing pressure to demonstrate that AI systems are governed in a structured and traceable way. The problem is that documentation is fragmented, and evidence, if it exists at all, is spread far and wide across enterprise systems. Consolidating all of that information is going to take a lot of work, and approaching it manually is not a viable option to maintain a consistent and reliable view of compliance. Kovrrโ€™s updated AI Compliance Readiness module now includes automated EU AI Act compliance capabilities designed to bring that process together The platform automatically collects documentation from enterprise applications, maps evidence to #EU AI Act Articles, and provides visibility into which requirements are already supported and where gaps remain. As documentation is reviewed, everything is organized into a structured EU AI Act Auditor Pack, including mapped evidence, requirement alignment, and a full audit trail. From there, organizations can work with Kovrrโ€™s audit partners to complete certification and obtain an official EU AI Act compliance certificate.

How can cyber risk management support broader business resilience? By being integrated into the enterprise risk strategy, quantified in business terms, and aligned with evolving regulatory expectations. Organizations that treat cyber as a high-level enterprise exposure and prioritize it like any other are better equipped to make informed investment decisions and ensure operational continuity. From using frameworks like NIST CSF to embedding CRQ into board-level reporting, strategic teams are turning cyber risk into a source of strength. Resilience starts with communication clarity. And communication clarity starts by aligning cyber and ERM metrics. Read more: lnkd.in/dVCh8q-x
