The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2026: From Model Risks to Agentic Security
Akamai analyzes the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2026, which shifts focus from model-level risks to agentic AI security.
The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications has been updated for 2026, and Akamai published an analysis of the revised list. Per the title, the 2026 edition shifts emphasis from model-level risks toward the security of agentic AI systems, framed as a realistic security model. No article body was available, so the specific ranked risk entries cannot be enumerated.
The Outsized Shadow: Why 5% of AI Users Are Your Biggest Security Risk
Akamai's 2026 Enterprise AI Usage report finds the top 5% of AI power users create outsized shadow AI, data leakage, and agent security risks.
Akamai's State of the Internet: Enterprise AI Usage Risk Report 2026, based on real-world usage telemetry, finds the top 5% of enterprise AI power users interact with AI models at 12 times the rate of the bottom 50% of the workforce. 47.11% of enterprise AI conversations occur through personal identities rather than corporate-managed accounts, and 14.4% run through corporate email addresses tied to personal freemium subscriptions. 17.7% of employees at midsize enterprises use AI browser or IDE extensions, of which 16.31% contain known CVE vulnerabilities and nearly 75% request high or critical permissions. The report also describes emerging attack vectors including Vibe Hacking, CursorJacking, and CometJacking indirect prompt injection.
OpenAI Launches GPT-5.6-Cyber with Reduced Safeguards for Exploit Development
OpenAI released GPT-5.6-Cyber for vulnerability research and pentesting via Daybreak Red, completing 95% of advanced cyber task evaluations.
GPT-5.6-Cyber, built on GPT-5.6 Sol, targets zero-day discovery, exploit chain development and incident response with reduced refusals, scoring 95.0% on OpenAI's Advanced Cybersecurity Completion Rate versus 1.5% for GPT-5.6 Sol and 57.3% for GPT-5.5-Cyber. The model found CVE-2026-15903 (CVSS 8.8), an out-of-bounds read/write in Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine that Google patched in mid-July 2026. It is available to trusted partners including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and Cloudflare through the Daybreak Red access tier.
