AI Security

Everything here is written for one reader: the leader who has to approve an AI deployment and then own what happens next. Most of what’s published about AI security is either fear with a sales funnel under it, or platform marketing dressed as guidance — written by people who have never carried an outage. This is the other thing: no hype, no doom, what actually breaks in production, and what to do about it.

Frameworks

• The Reversibility Test: Grant AI Autonomy by Undo, Not by IQ — 2026-06 — The question that decides what an agent should do alone isn’t how accurate it is. It’s whether you can pull the action back, and how fast.
• The Executive AI Deployment Checklist — 2026-03 — A 5-layer diagnostic for moving from static compliance to dynamic integrity.
• The AI Corporate Governance & Usage Policy Template — 2026-03 — A plug-and-play governance framework for the people who carry the liability.
• The Zero-Trust Agent: Cryptographic Action Guardrails — 2026-03 — Moving past “human-in-the-loop” to risk-scored cryptographic execution. The technical deep-dive.

Field notes

• AI Safety Has Never Worked a Change Window — 2026-06 — The online AI-safety conversation is theoretical. Real safety lives where it’s 2am and the business is screaming.
• The Agentic Shift: Architecting Dynamic Integrity — 2026-04 — Why the move from generative to agentic AI breaks your existing security model.

Case study

• The $100M Hallucination: Post-Mortem of a Failed Enterprise AI Agent Deployment — 2026-03 — What happens when static security meets an agentic system with no output guardrails.

I’m Paul Mozaffari, 28 years securing enterprise infrastructure, now focused on the AI layer. If you’re putting AI into production and want production-scarred eyes on your specific deployment, I run private AI-security briefings for leadership teams: a working session on your architecture, your threat surface, and the decisions you’ll have to stand behind.
