The SOC role interview will show you a Splunk dashboard and ask you what you see. I've collected the 50 questions…

AI Application API Key Theft via Prompt Injection 2026 — Credential Extraction Attacks
The AI security audit request came from a developer who'd built a customer service chatbot for a small e-commerce business. The chatbot was helpful, well-designed, and had been running for three months without issues. Then a charge of $847 appeared on the company's OpenAI account in a single afternoon — far beyond normal usage. The culprit: the developer had put the OpenAI API key directly in the system prompt so the chatbot could "explain its own capabilities" to users. A…

Prompt Injection in Agentic Workflows 2026 — When AI Agents Act on Malicious Instructions
Agentic injection is the one that concerns me most in 2026. Standard prompt injection produces a wrong answer that a human can read and discard. Agentic injection produces a wrong action that a human may not know happened until the consequences have landed. The difference between the two is whether the AI has tool access and autonomous execution capability — and increasingly, it does. An AI agent tasked with processing customer support tickets, researching topics, summarising documents, or managing workflows…
