IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy 2026

Event archive

The 47th IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy and its workshops convened in San Francisco with a dedicated machine-learning security track and research on LLM privacy, alignment, jailbreaks, attacks, and defenses. The co-located Secure Agents for Generative AI workshop concentrated specifically on agent architectures and their security boundaries.

My takeaway: Use the proceedings to extract explicit attacker capabilities, system assumptions, datasets, and artifacts. Favor results evaluated against adaptive attacks and realistic tool or data access, and convert relevant papers into product-level tests rather than assuming model-only defenses secure an agent workflow.

Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities

OpenAI says preliminary evidence that Astra may meet its Critical cybersecurity threshold led it to pause frontier reinforcement-learning work for two weeks and keep its largest planned run on hold. New safeguards include stronger workload and network isolation, continuous boundary testing, token-level monitoring that escalates suspicious tool activity, and broader alignment checks for deception, reward hacking, and unauthorized access.

A blueprint for democratic governance of frontier AI

OpenAI proposes a three-part U.S. frontier-AI governance model: harmonize emerging state safety laws into a federal baseline, strengthen CAISI as an evaluation and standards institution, and coordinate a broader resilience program. Proposed controls include severe-risk evaluations, transparency reports, independent audits, safety-incident reporting, model-weight security, whistleblower protection, and periodic technical assessments.

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.
