F5, AWS and Microsoft back NSS Labs framework for AI guardrail efficacy testing

F5 said it collaborated with AWS and Microsoft on an NSS Labs white paper titled “AI Security Beyond the Model: What Enterprises Need to Care About-and Why,” which outlines a framework for testing AI security guardrails in enterprise environments. The paper identifies capability areas for evaluation, including input threat detection, output data exfiltration management, and controls for agentic AI. It also describes a validation-testing approach based on independent, adversarial, real-world testing of AI security controls. The framework includes governance and operational resilience considerations for handling stress, failures, and degradation in AI systems.
