Solar Unveils AI Firewall to Protect Against Dangerous Actions by AI Agents
At SOC Forum 2026, Russian cybersecurity firm Solar presented its new Solar AI Firewall solution designed to filter requests to external AI models and block prompt injections. The product sits between users and AI systems, applying multi-layer protection that responds in milliseconds and counters 200 types of attacks. Special emphasis is placed on autonomous AI agents capable of performing actions in corporate systems, where the firewall inspects operations and blocks potentially harmful ones. Integrations with DLP, SIEM, and IDM tools are supported, and the solution is available both as a cloud service and for on-premises deployment. Solar has been testing the product internally and observed significant shadow AI usage outside corporate controls. The company plans further development of comprehensive AI risk management capabilities.
TenetBench Benchmark Tests LLMs for Compliance with Professional Ethical Codes
Researchers from the Institute of Information Security Issues at ISP RAS and the Institute of Cybersecurity and Information Protection at RANEPA have developed TenetBench, a benchmark designed to evaluate how well large language models adhere to specific norms in professional codes of ethics. The benchmark generates realistic work-related prompts that may conflict with rules from documents such as the Code of Professional Ethics for Advocates or journalistic standards on undisclosed advertising. Each test case pairs a conflicting request with a neutral counterpart to measure whether models refuse, warn, or still provide prohibited content. Evaluation separates task completion, norm violation detection, and presence of explicit refusals using an LLM-as-a-Judge approach validated against human annotators. The full dataset contains 3,433 prompt pairs derived from 15 professional codes, with a public subset of 2,235 pairs from 10 documents. Human validation confirmed 99.5% of generated examples as fully plausible work scenarios.
Solar to Showcase Solar AI Firewall for Business Protection Against AI Risks at SOC Forum 2026
GK Solar will present its new Solar AI Firewall solution at SOC Forum 2026 to help organizations control interactions with AI services and prevent confidential data leaks through employee prompts. The product addresses growing risks from staff sending corporate data to neural networks and AI agents gaining access to internal systems. The forum takes place on 27-28 October in Moscow's Lomonosov cluster, with the official launch of Solar AI Firewall scheduled during the event. Solar will also highlight practical risks of AI adoption, including data transmission to external services, use of public models by employees, and new attack surfaces in corporate infrastructure. The solution will be demonstrated as part of an integrated ecosystem for access, network, and data protection. In addition, the company plans to introduce JSOC ONE, a new line of Solar JSOC services tailored for mid-sized businesses that require 24/7 monitoring without building their own SOC.
Researcher Runs 100 Abliterated AI Agents Against His Own Accounts, Achieves Five Successful Breaches
A security researcher deployed roughly 100 autonomous AI agents based on abliterated open-source models to attempt unauthorized access to his online accounts over a five-hour period. The agents successfully compromised three accounts by exploiting vulnerabilities in legacy personal projects and two additional accounts through password reuse and credential stuffing. They also conducted 16 social engineering attempts, harvested and cross-verified personal data from public sources, and generated phishing pages targeting the researcher's Substack and Hacker News presence. Despite these successes, the agents failed to discover any zero-day vulnerabilities in third-party software or gain access to Tier-0 accounts such as Gmail, 1Password, or banking services. The experiment relied on abliterated versions of GLM-5.3 and DeepSeek V4 Flash models running on cloud GPUs, orchestrated via Codex CLI inside Docker containers with access to Railway infrastructure. Total compute cost reached approximately $210, equating to roughly $40 per successful account compromise. The researcher concluded that inexpensive swarms of such agents could soon enable low-skill attackers to systematically map and exploit an individual's entire online footprint.
