AI-assisted attacks and prompt injection
How AI changes attack speed and how to secure agents, tools, and RAG pipelines.
A malicious change can pass through familiar doors: package update, CI job, Docker build, artifact upload, or deploy token.
Ask where an artifact can be changed and who has the right to change it.
Source
Source: branch protection, reviews, CODEOWNERS, dependency alerts, lockfiles, and package policy.
Build
Build: pinned actions, minimal permissions, OIDC for cloud access, and isolated build jobs.
Artifact
Artifact: signed artifacts, SBOM, provenance, image scanning, and digest policy.
Start with controls that reduce invisible trust.
Pin third-party actions and base images for critical workflows.

Use OIDC for cloud deploys instead of long-lived secrets where supported

Tooling without ownership quickly becomes decoration.
Trusting third-party actions without pinning and review.
Keeping cloud deploy keys as long-lived repository secrets.
Using floating Docker tags in production builds.
Start with an inventory, define ownership, then add controls that can be tested in CI or in an operational drill.
No. Tooling helps only when policies, owners, logs, and response paths are clear.
PAS7 Studio can review architecture, access, logging, recovery processes, and product-level security controls, then turn the findings into a realistic hardening backlog.
