Spotlight
Generative AI Security Scoping Matrix
A five-scope framework that gives security teams a common language for categorizing generative AI deployments — from consuming third-party apps to training foundation models — each mapped to distinct security responsibilities and controls.
Agentic AI Security Scoping Matrix
Extends the GenAI framework to autonomous systems, categorizing agentic AI across four scopes by level of agency and autonomy — from read-only, human-initiated tasks through self-initiating systems with minimal human oversight.
