Episode 53 — Keep threat understanding current as attackers and tools evolve (Task 5)
This episode addresses Task 5 by showing how to keep threat understanding current as attackers and tools evolve, because AI systems and their integrations change quickly and AAISM expects you to maintain an updated threat view that feeds governance, monitoring, and reassessment decisions. You’ll learn what “current” means operationally: regularly reviewing new abuse patterns, vendor capability changes, newly exposed connectors, shifts in user adoption, and incident learnings that reveal weak assumptions. We’ll walk through a scenario where a vendor adds new tool-calling features and the organization expands access to additional data sources, and you’ll practice identifying how the threat model changes, what controls require updates, and what evidence must be refreshed to remain defensible. Troubleshooting covers organizations that treat threat work as a one-time artifact, leading to stale risk decisions and blind spots that surface during audits or incidents.
