What happened
In an OWASP LLM Top 10 2026 analysis blog (published Aug 14, 2026), Akamai stated Firewall for AI customers will soon receive a dedicated reconnaissance detector for tool/permission/workflow-logic probing, framed as inline runtime protection ahead of exploit attempts.
Why it matters
Extends AI firewall detection earlier in the attack chain (recon vs. exploitation), aligning with the 2026 OWASP LLM Top 10's elevated focus on Excessive Agency and Hidden Context Exposure.
Applicability
Akamai Firewall for AI customers should evaluate detection quality and false-positive rates once the capability ships; not yet independently verifiable as GA.
