Agentic AI security

Agentic AI security and security automation

AI agents read your data, call your tools and act on your behalf. I test them the way an attacker would and put guardrails around what they can do, then put the same technology to work on security itself.

Scope

What it involves.

  • Threat modelling AI agents: what they can read, which tools they can call and who can steer them
  • Testing agents and LLM features for prompt injection, data leakage, excessive agency and unsafe tool use
  • Guardrails: least-privilege tool access, logging and human approval for actions that matter
  • Designing automated workflows (n8n and similar) for repetitive security tasks

When to call

When teams ask for it.

  • An AI agent is about to get access to production data, email or internal tools
  • Teams are adopting AI tools faster than security can review them
  • Analysts spend their day on work a workflow could do

Outcome

What you have at the end.

AI agents and automation you can explain to an auditor: tested, limited to what they need, and logged.

Usually for: Teams building or adopting AI agents and LLM features, or automating operations

Proof

Work and credentials behind it.

Let's scope it together.

Tell me what you need to protect and by when. I'll reply with whether I can help and how I'd approach it.
