And 91% of confirmed malicious skills combine traditional malware with prompt injection in a single artifact.

We’ll explore:

  • A deep dive into how malicious skills operate through recent attacks
  • Tactics to motivate risks in the AI skill supply chain
  • Actionable strategies to defend the agentic action layer
