AI labs including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google are proposing third-party auditors to verify AI safety practices, but security experts argue the labs should instead focus on basic network security controls like logging, permissions, and sandboxing to prevent AI models from accessing the internet and penetrating external systems during training.
Cloudflare's security-audit-skill is a coding-agent framework that orchestrates isolated agents through six phases—reconnaissance, coverage-led hunting, candidate validation, structured output, independent verification, and target-neutral reporting—to systematically discover vulnerabilities in codebases with adversarial validation and grounded evidence requirements.
Overlord is a trust kernel for AI agents that provides transactional execution, provenance tracking, and reversibility for untrusted code. It runs on Linux using kernel primitives like overlayfs and user namespaces, allowing users to inspect and approve changes before committing them to disk.
