Positive Technologies to Explore AI Attacks and Autonomous SOC Advances at PSD 2026
Positive Technologies will hold its annual Positive Security Day 2026 conference in Moscow on 15-16 October, with a central focus on the transformation of cybersecurity driven by artificial intelligence.
The company plans to present updates to its MaxPatrol O2 platform and outline progress toward an autonomous SOC. A new approach called Security Lakehouse will also be introduced as a way to manage large volumes of security data and prepare them for model training.
Additional announcements will cover enhancements to MaxPatrol Endpoint Security for device protection and the continued development of PT X, a comprehensive protection model that includes accountability for outcomes.
Practical activities will include hands-on zones and competitions where participants can attack AI technologies, investigate incidents, test products, and examine their internal workings alongside engineers. A dedicated area will showcase ML and AI developments ranging from deployed solutions to ongoing experiments.
The business track will bring together customers, partners, and company leadership to discuss the impact of AI on business risks and the economics of protection, with emphasis on automating security processes without creating additional post-incident explanation burdens.
The event runs from 10:00 each day at the Mechta complex in Gorky Park. Registration and the full program are available on the conference website for both in-person and online attendance.

Why We Banned Our AI Manager from Writing Code and Assigned the Task to Claude Opus
The team behind an AI-powered marketplace manager for Wildberries initially built the system using regular updates, then migrated it to an autonomous agent. After implementing multiple layers of restrictions, they ultimately removed the agent entirely and rebuilt the solution from scratch. The new architecture relies on a single tool that handles the complete Wildberries API along with internet access while respecting all platform limits. The decision to prohibit the original AI manager from generating code stemmed from concerns over reliability and security in production environments. Instead, the developers turned to Claude Opus to handle coding tasks. This case highlights practical challenges of deploying AI agents in e-commerce automation and information security contexts.
Developer Builds MCP Linter and Discovers Security Issues in Anthropic Official Servers
A developer has released mcp-linter, a lightweight security and compliance tool for the Model Context Protocol used by Anthropic's Claude ecosystem. The linter detects critical problems such as stdout pollution that breaks JSON-RPC framing, missing destructiveHint annotations that allow autonomous agents to execute dangerous actions without human confirmation, prompt injection vectors hidden inside tool descriptions, and incomplete input schemas that increase model hallucinations. When run against Anthropic's reference servers, the tool assigned low health scores to server-memory and especially server-filesystem, highlighting dozens of parameters lacking descriptions. The utility runs with zero dependencies, supports SARIF output for GitHub Security, and can generate automatic JSON patches. The project is open source under MIT license and already integrates into CI pipelines via a dedicated GitHub Action.
Pentesting AI Components: Key Vulnerabilities CISOs Must Address in RAG and AI Agents
The article examines how AI integration into corporate systems dramatically expands the attack surface beyond traditional web application testing. It details risks associated with chatbots, RAG-enabled systems that pull from internal documents, and autonomous AI agents capable of executing real actions via APIs. Yuri Grishaev, an OSCP+ certified specialist and top Standoff 365 hacker, explains how prompt injection can bypass access controls and lead to data leaks or unauthorized operations. The piece stresses that service accounts often hold broad privileges, allowing AI components to serve as indirect paths to sensitive data even when direct user access is restricted. It also covers how AI-generated output can trigger classic vulnerabilities such as XSS if not properly sanitized. Recommendations include inventorying all AI tools, enforcing least-privilege principles, and validating user permissions before any model processes or acts on retrieved content. ABP2B provides free checklists and policy templates to help organizations prepare for secure AI adoption.
Local LLMs Enable Scams by Drafting Fraudulent Replies Without Warnings
Tests on consumer hardware showed that popular 7-8B local models almost never flagged classic advance-fee schemes when asked to draft replies instead of detecting fraud. The author ran 42 scam scenarios across Russian, Kazakh and mixed language on Llama 3.1 8B, Qwen 2.5 7B and DeepSeek-R1 8B using only an RTX 5050 laptop and Ollama. Without additional controls the models produced ready-to-send messages agreeing to prepaid transfers to unknown Kaspi Gold numbers in nearly every case. Introduction of the MoneyGate layer, which combines a mandate check, a separate judge model and hard-coded red-flag rules, blocked all 42 malicious requests while still allowing most legitimate payments to proceed. The benchmark KZ Scam Shield covering 12 Kazakhstan-specific fraud patterns remains publicly available for further testing.
