Humanbound cover: "Not every model makes a good attacker: OpenAI vs DeepSeek for red-teaming". A bad-refund panel over 97 conversations per run shows deepseek-v4.1-flash at 42% and 52% against gpt-6-luna at 7% and 10%, with the target listed as a LangChain support bot on gpt-4o-mini.

Not every model makes a good attacker: OpenAI vs DeepSeek for red-teaming

Two attacker models, one deliberately weak LangChain support bot, 97 conversations per run. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash talked it into refunding orders that do not exist far more often than OpenAI's gpt-6-luna, with the transcripts, the costs and what the numbers do not prove.

One Link Away: What 1,350 Runs Taught Us About Prompt Guardrails

We gave nine models a pricing agent's job and a competitor page one link away from a trap. Four leaked a confidential unit cost on every run. Here is what 1,350 runs say about how much a system-prompt guardrail actually buys you.

Beyond AI Security: The Rise of AI SecOps: Splunk + Humanbound

Splunk is where most SOCs already live. Here's how Humanbound streams AI agent security findings into Splunk as structured, HMAC-signed webhooks, so agent security gets the same real-time alerting and incident response as everything else the SOC already handles.

Beyond AI Security: The Rise of AI SecOps: Microsoft PyRIT + Humanbound

PyRIT is Microsoft's open-source, research-grade red teaming framework. Here's how a point-in-time PyRIT engagement and Humanbound's continuous, compliance-mapped monitoring plug into each other, including how PyRIT's findings can train the Humanbound Firewall directly.

Beyond AI Security: The Rise of AI SecOps: Promptfoo + Humanbound

Promptfoo and Humanbound aren't competing for the same slot. Here's how Promptfoo's CI red teaming and Humanbound's continuous, compliance-mapped monitoring plug into each other, including how Promptfoo's scan results can train the Humanbound Firewall directly.

Why we open-sourced humanbound-firewall

We released humanbound-firewall under Apache-2.0. A multi-tier runtime defense for AI agents, with each layer inspectable, escalating on uncertainty, and trainable on your own adversarial test data.

Beyond Moderation: Why LLM Systems Need a Policy Layer

Moderation APIs catch harm and injection attempts but fail to enforce domain-specific policy. A cross-domain evaluation shows why production LLM systems need both moderation and policy reasoning layers.

You're Still Alt-Tabbing to a Security Tool

AI agent security won't be adopted through better dashboards. It'll be adopted when it disappears into existing workflows. Embed adversarial testing into your terminal via MCP - security becomes a conversation, not a context switch.

Claude Code Security Found the Bugs. The Agents Are Next.

Claude Code Security didn’t kill security tooling—but it did signal that frontier AI labs are now security providers, and that our current models don’t cover the behavioral, contextual, and systemic risks of autonomous agents. This is where security needs to go next.

Shadow AI: The Gap Your CISO Dashboard Doesn’t Show

Your CISO dashboard tracks vulnerabilities across infrastructure, apps, and cloud—but may miss the fastest-growing risk surface: Shadow AI. See how it shows up, why legacy tools miss it, and how Humanbound reveals AI use in a governed, continuously monitored registry.
