How Exposed Endpoints Increase Risk Across LLM Infrastructure
As more organizations run their own Large Language Models (LLMs), they are also deploying more internal services and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to support those models. Modern security risks are being introduced less from the models themselves and more from the infrastructure that serves, connects and automates the model. Each new LLM endpoint expands the…

When AI Knows Something is Wrong, But No One is Accountable
When AI systems detect violent intent but private companies decide whether it’s “imminent enough” to alert authorities, we are operating inside a regulatory void. A recent Canadian tragedy exposes the uncomfortable reality that tech platforms are quietly acting as risk arbiters without shared standards, transparency or public oversight. The question isn’t whether monitoring exists. It’s…
