With AI agents becoming increasingly popular, we just had Claude that released their latest browser

agent. We have OpenAI's Atlas browser. We have Perplexities Comet browser, and we have Project

0:12.0

Mariner coming up from Google very soon. And with all of that on the market right now, it's definitely

0:16.0

a moment to think about the security of all of these different tools. Open AI says that AI browsers may always be vulnerable to prompt injection attacks.

0:24.3

This is basically saying they haven't solved this problem.

0:27.5

They put out a big blog post about it.

0:29.0

They've shared examples, how they're trying to protect against it, what you should know,

and some of the really crazy situations that you should go find yourself in while using one of these tools.

0:38.4

So on the podcast today, I want to break down everything open AI is sane and how you can make sure not to fall victim to some of these attacks or prompt injection issues while using one of these tools.

agents to automate compliance end-to-end. They collect evidence. They fill out security

1:15.5

questionnaires and they customize controls to your actual business so you can get compliant

1:19.8

in days and not months. You also get one-on-one Slack support from real security experts

1:25.1

who respond fast. Over a thousand fast growing companies are

1:28.7

currently using Delve that trust Dell to help them close deals faster and stay compliant as they

are scaling. If this is something that could be useful for you, make sure go check out

1:41.1

thanks for the sponsorship, Delve. Let's get into the podcast today. So this is obviously a huge vulnerability that is, you know, becoming more prevalent

1:48.9

today with these AI agents. I think Open AI right now, they're looking to kind of strengthen

1:53.3

injection attacks are a persistent risk, and they said that it is
