RAG Data Leakage: How Private Documents Escape Through Retrieval, Embeddings, and Context Windows
RAG data leakage happens when retrieval, embeddings, metadata, prompt context, generated answers, logs, or deletion workflows expose information outside intended boundaries. Secure RAG requires authorization-aware retrieval, tenant isolation, metadata filtering, sensitive-data minimization, protected traces, retention limits, and incident-ready evidence.
Human-in-the-Loop Is Not a Security Control Unless You Design It Like One
Human-in-the-loop is only a security control when the approval is timely, informed, auditable, placed before meaningful action, and backed by authority to deny or modify the action. Otherwise it becomes a weak UX pattern that shifts responsibility to users without giving them enough information to exercise judgment.
Least Privilege for AI Agents: Designing Permissions for Tools, APIs, Browsers, and Filesystems
AI agents need least privilege at the tool, API, browser, filesystem, credential, tenant, and action level. Safe design requires tool classification, read-only defaults, argument validation, scoped credentials, sandboxing, approval gates, and auditable enforcement outside the model.
