Microsoft open-sources agentic security tools Rampart, Clarity

CyberScoop reported Microsoft released two red teaming tools, Rampart and Clarity, to help developers build more secure agentic software and assist incident responders.

Microsoft said Rampart continuously tests code during development. Microsoft said Rampart focuses on cross-prompt injection attacks where agents process poisoned content from sources such as documents or emails, and it retests fixes across multiple rounds rather than “single shot validation.”

Microsoft said Clarity can run as an app or embed into a coding agent to provide real-time security engineering guidance. CyberScoop reported that Clarity includes tracking objectives and highlighting downstream security implications.
