Getting Granular with Access, Attributes, and Intent - Alex Olivier - ASW #403

October 06, 2026

The principle of least privilege access is ubiquitous in recommendations, but perhaps too uncommon in practice. Alex Olivier explains how the AuthZen Working Group has been approaching new standards, guidelines, and practical deployment patterns to make it easier for orgs to establish more refined and correct access policies. It's a problem that predates LLMs, but also one that agents and MCPs made all the more acute. We talk about what intent means when trying to constrain agents' activities...

Going From Bug Bounty Bugs to More Secure Systems - Shlomie Liberow - ASW #402

September 29, 2026

Finding flaws with LLMs and agents is changing bug bounty programs. But it's not necessarily changing how orgs fix those flaws.

He explains why fixing the bug reported through a bug bounty is more about understanding interconnected systems than fixing a single piece of software. We discuss how orgs can be more effective at securing their environment and what role LLMs m...

Understanding Prompt Injection In Order to Contain It - Julie Brunias - ASW #401
