OWASP Refreshes GenAI Security Guide, Adds 21 Risks and New Tools

OWASP GenAI Security Project Gets Update, New Tools Matrix outlines 21 identified risks and splits its tracking into generative AI and agentic AI to reflect rapid adoption and security concerns. The OWASP Foundation published a GenAI Data Security risks listing covering 21 potential data issues, including sensitive data leakage and unsanctioned data flows due to shadow AI.
