Researchers have developed a new method called Secure On-Policy Distillation (SecOPD) to combat adaptive prompt injections, a critical threat to AI agents. Unlike previous techniques that use sequence-level feedback, SecOPD provides token-level feedback during fine-tuning, enabling models to learn more precisely which parts of their output are insecure. This approach significantly reduces the attack success rate, with a defended Qwen3.6-27B model achieving a 9.0% ASR against adaptive prompt injections, a substantial improvement over the prior state-of-the-art's 94.0% ASR. The security gains from SecOPD also generalize to new domains, such as agentic tool calling, where it achieved a 4.7% ASR compared to 5.5% for Meta-SecAlign. AI
