OWASP Agentic AI Security

April 2025 - Present

OWASP GenAI Security Project

I support the OWASP GenAI Security Project through contributions to multiple agentic AI documents. This flagship offering from OWASP provides security professionals across the world with vital resources to support the security of their AI applications. My contributions not only add to the incredible wealth of knowledge from the most accomplished security professionals in the AI space, those seasoned experts also give me a feedback loop to further develop my agentic AI security skills.

My Contributions

  • Securing Agentic Applications Guide: This guide is designed to provide in-depth technical guidance to any agentic AI developer. From architecture to specific authentication or logging controls, we aim to provide a complete how-to for securing agentic applications.
  • State of Agentic AI Security and Governance 1.0: Every C-suite level security professional needs to have high-quality guidance. Our goal with the State of Agentic AI Security document was to provide that guidance, spreading necesary data and informing decision makers on critical and timely AI security information.
  • AI Vulnerability Scoring System (AIVSS): As a founding member of the AI Vulnerability Scoring System, I not only contributed valuable suggestions and edits to this ground breaking approach to AI vulnerabilities, I also supported its development as a cornerstone resource for the AI security community for decades to come.
