Every incident response job now has an AI-shaped hole in it. Not because the models are attacking anyone directly — but because the attack surface changed the moment organizations plugged large language models into things that used to be simple: customer support, code review, internal search. Each of those integrations is a new door, and most teams haven’t finished mapping where the doors are.
Prompt injection is the one worth watching closest right now. It doesn’t look like a traditional exploit — no malformed packet, no buffer overflow — just language, doing what language does, except now language is executable. A hidden instruction in a document, an email, a webpage an AI agent reads on your behalf: that’s the new phishing link.
For anyone building or defending systems with AI in the loop, the old instinct still applies: assume the input is hostile until proven otherwise. The models are new. The discipline isn’t.
