A postmortem on the Hugging Face incident was produced by hundreds of CISOs
Martin Casado highlights the release of a weekend postmortem on the Hugging Face incident, written by hundreds of CISOs and reviewed by Hugging Face.
The point of the thread is that AI security should not be left to a few closed labs:
- The broader industry can move faster and learn more by sharing security work openly.
- The postmortem is framed as evidence that security tooling and incident response are now “spinning up” around new AI threats.
- The message is explicitly pro-openness and skeptical of relying on a small number of closed-model vendors for security leadership.
