Security Best Practices for AI Agents

Protecting PII and ensuring compliance (SOC2, GDPR) when deploying autonomous agents in sensitive environments.


Security is the number one barrier to AI adoption in the enterprise. Giving an AI "tools" to execute actions (like querying a database) opens up new attack vectors.

Key Risks

  • Prompt Injection: Attackers tricking the AI into revealing system instructions.
  • Data Leakage: The AI inadvertently sharing one user's data with another.

Mitigation Strategies

We recommend a "Defense in Depth" approach: sanitize inputs before they reach the LLM, use strict output parsing, and implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) at the tool level.
