Course Outline

Foundations: Threat Models for Agentic AI

  • Categorizing agentic threats: misuse, escalation, data leakage, and supply-chain risks
  • Defining adversary profiles and attacker capabilities specific to autonomous agents
  • Mapping assets, trust boundaries, and critical control points for agents

Governance, Policy, and Risk Management

  • Applying governance frameworks for agentic systems (roles, responsibilities, approval gates)
  • Designing policies: acceptable use, escalation rules, data handling, and auditability
  • Addressing compliance considerations and collecting evidence for audits

Non-Human Identity & Authentication for Agents

  • Creating identities for agents: service accounts, JWTs, and short-lived credentials
  • Implementing least-privilege access patterns and just-in-time credentialing
  • Managing identity lifecycle, rotation, delegation, and revocation strategies

Access Controls, Secrets, and Data Protection

  • Utilizing fine-grained access control models and capability-based patterns for agents
  • Managing secrets, encryption-in-transit and at-rest, and data minimization
  • Securing sensitive knowledge sources and PII from unauthorized agent access

Observability, Auditing, and Incident Response

  • Designing telemetry for agent behavior: intent tracing, command logs, and provenance
  • Integrating with SIEM, setting alerting thresholds, and ensuring forensic readiness
  • Developing runbooks and playbooks for agent-related incidents and containment

Red-Teaming Agentic Systems

  • Planning red-team exercises: scope, rules of engagement, and safe failover
  • Employing adversarial techniques: prompt injection, tool misuse, chain-of-thought manipulation, and API abuse
  • Executing controlled attacks to measure exposure and impact

Hardening and Mitigations

  • Applying engineering controls: response throttles, capability gating, and sandboxing
  • Implementing policy and orchestration controls: approval flows, human-in-the-loop, and governance hooks
  • Deploying model and prompt-level defenses: input validation, canonicalization, and output filters

Operationalizing Safe Agent Deployments

  • Adopting deployment patterns: staging, canary, and progressive rollout for agents
  • Enforcing change control, testing pipelines, and pre-deploy safety checks
  • Fostering cross-functional governance: security, legal, product, and ops playbooks

Capstone: Red-Team / Blue-Team Exercise

  • Executing a simulated red-team attack against a sandboxed agent environment
  • Defending, detecting, and remediating as the blue team using controls and telemetry
  • Presenting findings, the remediation plan, and policy updates

Summary and Next Steps

Requirements

  • A solid foundation in security engineering, system administration, or cloud operations
  • Proficiency with AI/ML concepts and the behavior of large language models (LLMs)
  • Experience with identity & access management (IAM) and secure system design

Audience

  • Security engineers and red-teamers
  • AI operations and platform engineers
  • Compliance officers and risk managers
  • Engineering leads responsible for agent deployments
