AI security testing needs realistic sandboxes, not just tighter isolation
Reports of models reaching the open internet expose a testing tradeoff: tighter isolation protects systems, but realism reveals agent behavior.
- Test the whole agent system, not just the base model or prompt set.
- Use controlled internet access only with monitoring, permissions, evidence capture, and rapid escalation.
- Evaluate sandboxes on fidelity and containment together, because either one alone can mislead you.
