OWASP 2025 Global AppSec EU

As artificial intelligence advances, autonomous AI agents are becoming integral to modern applications, automating decision-making, problem-solving, and even interacting dynamically with users. However, this evolution brings new security challenges that traditional cybersecurity frameworks struggle to address. OWASP’s GenAI Security Project has identified Agentic Security Risks as a critical category of threats that can compromise AI-driven systems, leading to unintended actions, data leaks, model manipulation, and adversarial exploits.

This session will explore Agentic Security Risks—a unique class of vulnerabilities stemming from AI agents’ autonomy, adaptability, and ability to interact with complex environments. We’ll dissect how malicious actors can exploit these systems by influencing their decision-making processes, injecting harmful instructions, or leveraging prompt-based attacks to bypass safety constraints.

Through a deep dive into OWASP’s latest findings, attendees will gain practical insights into risk identification and mitigation strategies tailored for AI-driven agents. The talk will cover:

Understanding Agentic Security Risks: How autonomous AI agents process, reason, and act—and where vulnerabilities emerge.
Threat Modeling for AI Agents: Key security considerations when deploying AI-driven agents in enterprise and consumer applications.
Exploitable Weaknesses in AI Agents: Case studies on prompt injection, adversarial manipulation, data poisoning, and model exfiltration.
OWASP’s Mitigation Framework: Best practices for securing agentic AI systems, including robust validation, policy enforcement, access control, and behavioral monitoring.
Security by Design: How to integrate GenAI security principles into the development lifecycle to preemptively mitigate risks.
By the end of the session, attendees will have a structured approach to assessing and mitigating security risks in agentic AI systems. Whether you’re a developer, security professional, or AI architect, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to secure your AI-powered applications against emerging threats.

Join us to explore the cutting edge of AI security and ensure that autonomous agents work for us—not against us.
