The guidelines mandate restricted internet access for testing environments, real-time behavioral telemetry, and automated emergency termination controls capable of severing agent execution the instant anomalous behavior is detected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Redmond, Washington-based software giant emphasized that security containment should accelerate rather than slow commercial AI adoption.
