Threat Modeling for Autonomous AI - What OWASP Wants You to Know
· 5 min read
As large language models (LLMs) evolve from passive responders into autonomous agents that can reason, plan, and act—welcome to the age of Agentic AI. These systems don't just generate answers; they browse the web, execute scripts, send emails, and even orchestrate other agents. And with that autonomy comes an entirely new class of cybersecurity threats.
The OWASP Agentic AI: Threats and Mitigations report is the first of its kind to lay out a structured threat model tailored to the unique risks introduced by LLM-powered agents. From memory poisoning and cascading hallucinations to identity spoofing and rogue agents—this is the new frontline of AI security.
