OWASP GenAI Security Project Gets Update, New Tools Matrix
Dark Reading, Monday, April 6th, 2026
In recognition of 21 generative AI risks, the standards group recommends that companies take separate but linked approaches to defending GenAI and agentic AI systems.
The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is updating its look at the risk and defensive landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), reflecting the fast adoption of the technology and the security issues that adoption poses.
The OWASP Foundation published expanded security recommendations for companies adopting AI systems, splitting its tracking of solutions into two groups - generative AI and agentic AI - while outlining 21 different risks for GenAI systems. The first guide focuses on securing GenAI and large language models (LLMs); the second focuses on agentic AI systems.
