What every business needs to know about prompt injection attacks with Johann Rehberger

We’re back for a brand-new season! 🎉 And we're kicking things off with an evolving security risk in the AI space: prompt injection attacks. 🤖⚠️ In Watchtower Weekly, we discuss how prompt injection has evolved from chatbot jailbreaks into a serious business risk. As AI tools start reading emails, documents, code, and other sensitive data, we go beyond the headlines to unpack the real-world impact of this attack vector. To dig deeper, Wade sits down with Johann Rehberger, independent AI security researcher and author of Embrace The Red. Johann explains how malicious instructions can hide inside the content AI tools process, and what organizations can do to reduce the blast radius. Plus, in #Ask1Password, we explain the purpose of the Developer option in the 1Password desktop app, and how it helps protect SSH keys, environment secrets, and AI-powered development.
