Governing Bring Your Own AI: A Parameterized Maturity Model

Researchers propose a parameterized governance model and maturity ladder for Bring Your Own AI, finding data exposure and compliance dominate BYOAI risks.

The paper studies Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI), where employees use personal generative AI accounts such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude outside enterprise identity and security controls. Drawing on a curated corpus of 30 records (24 studies and 6 framework documents), the authors build a risk taxonomy, a five-level governance maturity ladder, and a parameterized model linking control-layer coverage to residual risk. Findings highlight data exposure and compliance as the most prominent risks, inconsistent framework engagement, and evidence that layered technical controls reduce modeled exfiltration risk more than prohibition-based approaches.

The AI Malware Maturity Gap

Recorded Future introduces AIM3, a five-level maturity model for AI malware, showing current attacker AI use is mostly AI-assisted rather than autonomous.

Recorded Future proposes AIM3, a five-level model defining AI malware from LLM-translated to LLM-embedded, spanning experimentation to fully autonomous agentic campaigns. Public examples remain early-stage: PROMPTFLUX uses Google Gemini to rewrite its VBScript dropper (Level 1), while Lamehug/PROMPTSTEAL, attributed to APT28, invokes the HuggingFace API to generate reconnaissance commands (Level 3). The authors argue most current AI malware augments existing tradecraft rather than enabling one-click autonomous attacks.
