Kill the God Agent: how we think about agent security

A God Agent is one model wired to every tool on one shared identity, holding the whole lethal trifecta at once: it reads untrusted content, touches private data, and talks to the outside world. You can't filter prompt injection out of that, so you change the architecture instead. Three deterministic moves: scope every agent, sign every call, stop every breach. Break even one leg of the trifecta and the blast radius shrinks.

Alignment is a Security Problem, Not an Ethics Problem

Misalignment maps onto vulnerability classes security engineers already operate on: backdoors, defense evasion, privilege escalation, exfiltration. Calling it ethics keeps it off security teams' desks. Reframing it as security decides who owns the work, which budget pays, and which playbook applies.

Claude 4.7: Five Layers Blocking Cyber Attacks Before and After

Claude 4.7 doesn't rely on one safety mechanism. It stacks a rulebook, trained refusals, differential capability reduction, two runtime probes, and a live feedback loop. Understanding which layer blocks what matters if you're building on the API.

BodySnatcher and the Missing Identity Layer

BodySnatcher (CVE-2025-12420) showed how AI agents with aggregated permissions can compromise entire platforms in seconds. Traditional security controls designed for humans don't work at machine speed. Organizations need threat modeling and runtime controls for all three layers: API auth, identity binding, and agent execution.
