Michael Samson, a recent SANS master's graduate and infrastructure security researcher, joins to discuss the intricacies of attack surfaces in AI agents. He emphasizes the need for defensive strategies focused on attacker techniques rather than mere indicators of compromise. They delve into the implications of the SonicWall breach and vulnerabilities in Crowdstrike's Falcon sensor. Samson's research reveals hidden risks in improper authorizations and the interconnectedness of agent ecosystems, highlighting the importance of mapping these surfaces for better defenses.
