What AI security coverage tracks

AI security spans two directions at once: attacks that target AI systems, and attacks that use AI to move faster. This section follows both, from prompt injection and agent misuse through model supply-chain weaknesses, data exposure, and AI-assisted intrusion and fraud campaigns.

Each item here is compiled from primary sources — vendor advisories, research publications, regulator and law-enforcement notices, and company disclosures — and grouped into ongoing Developments so a single incident and its follow-ups stay together instead of arriving as unconnected headlines.

What you'll find in this section

  • Vulnerabilities and incidents affecting models, agents, and AI infrastructure
  • Attacker use of AI for phishing, fraud, malware, and reconnaissance
  • Vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance as it is published
  • Security requirements arriving through regulation and procurement rules

Offensive Security Investments Surge as AI Threats Increase

Organizations are accelerating investments in offensive security capabilities as artificial intelligence threats expand in complexity and frequency. In an interview with Dark Reading, industry analyst Theresa Lanowitz of research firm Omdia highlighted the emerging role of agentic AI systems in penetration testing and automated red teaming. While agentic frameworks enable security teams to simulate sophisticated adversarial behavior at scale, their deployment also introduces operational risks, potential misconfigurations, and novel attack surfaces that enterprise defenders must navigate.
