Course Outline

Foundations: Threat Modelling for Agentic AI

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

Governance, Policy, and Risk Management

  • Governance frameworks for agentic systems (roles, responsibilities, approval gates)
  • Policy design: acceptable use, escalation rules, data handling, and auditability
  • Compliance requirements and evidence collection for audits

Non-Human Identity & Authentication for Agents

  • Designing agent identities: service accounts, JWTs, and short-lived credentials
  • Least-privilege access patterns and just-in-time credentialing
  • Identity lifecycle management, rotation, delegation, and revocation strategies

Access Controls, Secrets, and Data Protection

  • Fine-grained access control models and capability-based patterns for agents
  • Secrets management, encryption in transit and at rest, and data minimisation
  • Safeguarding sensitive knowledge sources and PII from unauthorised agent access

Observability, Auditing, and Incident Response

  • Designing telemetry for agent behaviour: intent tracing, command logs, and provenance
  • SIEM integration, alerting thresholds, and forensic readiness
  • Runbooks and playbooks for handling agent-related incidents and containment

Red-Teaming Agentic Systems

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

Hardening and Mitigations

  • Engineering controls: response throttling, capability gating, and sandboxing
  • Policy and orchestration controls: approval flows, human-in-the-loop, and governance hooks
  • Model and prompt-level defences: input validation, canonicalisation, and output filters

Operationalising Safe Agent Deployments

  • Deployment patterns: staging, canary, and progressive rollout for agents
  • Change control, testing pipelines, and pre-deployment safety checks
  • Cross-functional governance: playbooks for security, legal, product, and operations

Capstone: Red-Team / Blue-Team Exercise

  • Executes a simulated red-team attack against a sandboxed agent environment
  • Defends, detects, and remediates as the blue team using controls and telemetry
  • Presents findings, remediation plans, and policy updates

Summary and Next Steps

Intended Audience

  • Security engineers and red-team specialists
  • AI operations and platform engineers
