OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications with Will Velida

About Show #1059

What are the risks of using agents in your organization? While at NDC in Oslo, Richard sat down with Will Velida to talk about the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications. AI agents promise productivity gains, but they also introduce entirely new attack surfaces. Richard and Will explore threats such as prompt injection, agent goal hijacking, memory poisoning, privilege abuse, and cascading failures across multi-agent workflows. They also discuss the tooling, governance frameworks, and security practices organizations need to adopt to move agentic applications from proof-of-concept to production safely.
