Security

AI introduces a new class of security problems: prompt injection, unintended data exposure, and agent behaviours that are difficult to audit or constrain. Securing an AI system is not the same as securing a traditional application — and bolting security on after the fact rarely works. Morten Aslo-Østergaard leads umage’s security work, and the approach is consistent across everything the team builds: security as a design requirement from day one, in the architecture of agent systems, in how data moves between components, and in the guardrails that keep models within their intended scope. For organisations that also want to use AI to strengthen their broader security posture — threat monitoring, anomaly detection, automated triage — that is a conversation worth having early.
