CSA Playbook Empowers Continuous Red‑Teaming of Agentic AI Systems

The Cloud Security Alliance has released a comprehensive guide designed to help security professionals and AI engineers rigorously test autonomous AI agents deployed in sensitive environments. Unlike traditional generative models, agentic AI systems autonomously plan, decide, and act in real-world or virtual contexts, creating fresh attack surfaces in areas such as orchestration logic, persistent memory, and control flows. The guide identifies twelve specific threat categories—including permission hijacking, oversight bypass, goal manipulation, memory poisoning, multi-agent collusion, and source obfuscation—and offers structured test scenarios, red‑team objectives, evaluation metrics, and mitigation approaches for each. It builds on frameworks like CSA’s MAESTRO and OWASP’s AI Exchange, and recommends both open‑source and commercial tools, emphasizing that red‑teaming must be an ongoing, integrated practice throughout the AI development lifecycle.

OWASP SAMM Skills Framework Enhances Software Security Roles

The OWASP SAMM Skills Framework, introduced on February 9, 2025, is a new initiative donated by Siemens to enhance software security practices within organizations. This framework assigns specific responsibilities to SAMM (Software Assurance Maturity Model) streams, clarifying which roles are involved in advancing each stream. It provides guidance on the necessary skills and training for each role, aligning SAMM-related activities with appropriate stakeholders and their required competencies. This alignment helps organizations identify the right personnel and visualize shared responsibilities, ensuring a structured approach to secure product development. Implementing the OWASP SAMM Skills Framework involves several key steps. Organizations must first map responsibilities to roles, ensuring each task is assigned to the right individual. Next, they must evaluate and align stakeholders with specific SAMM streams, validating that those assigned understand and accept their roles in advanci...
