AI Agent Guard

Explore the evolving threats in AI agent security and how to mitigate them.

Attack Vector	Product Solutions	Best Practices
Foot-in-the-Door A gradual AI attack that exploits trust and tool usage—starting with harmless tool requests, then escalating to harmful actions.	Lakera Guard Detects & blocks malicious requests with AI-driven threat intelligence—even when they seem harmless. DeepKeep AI Security Proactively identifies potential attack vectors through continuous simulation of 1,000+ daily attack scenarios	Implement Multi-Step Input Validation and Context Management AI agents process unpredictable, multi-step inputs—some of which can be malicious. Solution: Use robust input validation & context tracking to block unauthorized actions..
AI Worm A zero-click worm attack that spreads autonomously through GenAI-powered applications by exploiting their content processing capabilities	Lakera Guard Detects and blocks malicious prompts, jailbreaking attempts, and self-replication patterns in incoming content	Implement Least Privilege Access Control with Time-Based Permissions Implement granular access control with time-limited permissions to minimize the potential damage from compromised AI agents. This includes automatic permission revocation and continuous monitoring of agent activities. Implement Critical System Protection Controls When AI agents interact with critical systems or infrastructure, implement robust protection mechanisms to prevent unauthorized or dangerous operations that could lead to system damage or operational disruption.
