Factory joins the Open Secure AI Alliance

Factory joined the Open Secure AI Alliance alongside NVIDIA and other members to advance openly shared tools, models, and research for securing software and AI agents. Its contributions include Droid Shield 2.0, which uses two fine-tuned Qwen-based models to identify unflagged secrets in code context and reduce false positives while keeping detected secret values masked; Factory has released the related adapters, configuration, prompts, and calibration guidance publicly. The company also described its Automated Security Review program, which develops threat models for open-source projects, applies STRIDE and OWASP frameworks, traces data across trust boundaries, validates vulnerabilities, and responsibly reports findings, including a template-injection issue in External Secrets Operator identified as CVE-2026-42876.
