Security + Auditing for Agents
Secure agent interaction patterns, authentication/authorization, encryption, and auditing, plus defenses against agent injection and context manipulation and operational "agent hygiene".
Authentication and authorization
Secure controls ensure only permitted actions are executed. Agent interactions are protected so users and services cannot access or mutate data outside their scope, including role-based access for operators.
Auditing of decisions and actions
An auditing system logs agent activity and decisions for transparency and compliance. The goal is to reconstruct what happened, why it happened, and which evidence supports the resulting outcomes.
Data encryption and integrity
Encryption protects sensitive operational data. Integrity checks and controlled writes help ensure stored context remains trustworthy over time.
Agent injection attack mitigations
Protections reduce risks from malicious or conflicting instructions. Structured workflow inputs, context validation, and instruction integrity controls help defend the agent execution path, while "agent hygiene" processes periodically review permissions and configurations.
