Siem

Classic security tools hunt for dangerous words: ‘hack’, ‘bomb’, ‘urgent’. But you don’t subvert an AI agent with suspicious vocabulary — you subvert it with the ordinary language of the business: a role, a process, a plausible emergency. And when the agent that monitors, the SIEM that correlates and the auditor that checks are themselves AI agents, the attacker no longer has to defeat a system: it corrupts them in a chain. This article explains that recursive-corruption mechanism and what a decision-maker must demand to break it.

SOCs are evolving toward agentic architectures where multiple AIs handle triage, investigation, correlation, and response. The decision system itself becomes the target. We argue for capability monotonicity (Lock-Monotone/TGMC) as an architectural invariant that contains a compromised reasoning layer.
