AGENT SAFETY IS A BOX

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

AI agents are highly flexible and adaptable systems that can affect the outside world via side effects. To effectively secure these workflows, we need to add a deterministic “box” around the agent. In a cloud environment, agents can run in an AgentCore Runtime, which utilizes an AgentCore Gateway to restrict the access an agent has outside of the “box,” and an AgentCore Policy can be utilized to grant the agent authorization to use specific tools in a specific way.
