Advance Zero Trust for AI: New tools and guidance to secure AI agents and DevSecOps

Why it matters

Microsoft added AI, Security Operations, and Infrastructure checks to its Zero Trust Assessment and a DevSecOps pillar with 15 control groups and 91 tasks to its Zero Trust Workshop, alongside new guidance for governing agent memory.

My takeaway: The useful shift is from principles to control groups: agent least privilege, memory intent and provenance, code and tool allowlisting, data protection, and supply-chain controls for repositories, dependencies, CI/CD pipelines, artifacts, and infrastructure-as-code.

OpenAI’s Frontier Governance Framework

OpenAI's 22-page Frontier Governance Framework maps its frontier-model processes to California's Transparency in Frontier AI Act and the EU AI Act's general-purpose AI code. It documents lifecycle risk assessment, cyber-offense and other risk tiers, mitigation and residual-risk decisions, critical-incident handling, security risk management, model reporting, external review, responsibility allocation, and change control.

OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications for 2026

OWASP's community guide organizes agentic-system risk into ten categories, including goal hijacking, tool misuse, identity and privilege abuse, memory poisoning, insecure inter-agent communication, cascading failures, and rogue-agent behavior. It provides a shared taxonomy and mitigation starting point rather than a certification checklist or evidence that a deployed system is secure.
