AGENTIC AI SECURITY

Security for AI agents & LLM systems

AI agents increasingly act autonomously — with tool access, memory and connections to your systems via protocols such as MCP. This creates attack surfaces that conventional security testing does not cover. VamiSec assesses, hardens and governs your AI systems across their entire lifecycle.

From the offensive testing of agentic systems through MCP Security and Threat Modeling to transparency across the AI supply chain: our Agentic AI Security services interlock and are guided by established frameworks such as the OWASP projects for GenAI and agentic applications, MITRE ATLAS and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

Attack surface

Where agentic systems are vulnerable

From prompt to target system: every station of an AI agent has its own threats. Pick a station — we show typical risks and the services that address them.

Typical threats

  • Direct and indirect prompt injection via user input, documents and web content
  • Jailbreaks and goal manipulation that bypass guardrails
  • Poisoned context from RAG sources and retrieval pipelines

Threat selection based on the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (ASI01–ASI10), the OWASP MCP Top 10 and CSA MAESTRO.

Service fields

Three fields, eight services

Our portfolio mirrors the navigation: consulting & platform security, offensive testing with detection & response, and threat modeling & supply chain transparency — every service links to its in-depth page.

Testing & Hardening

Agentic AI Pentesting

Offensive security testing of autonomous AI agents: we test tool access, memory, orchestration and guardrails against real-world attack scenarios — following the OWASP methodology for agentic applications.

  • Prompt injection, jailbreak and tool abuse scenarios
  • Memory and context manipulation in the live system
  • Reproducible findings with exploit path and fix recommendation

AI Product Pentesting

Pentesting and red teaming for products with embedded AI – robots, AIoT devices, AI cameras and voice assistants: from hardware and firmware to model, LLM and physical impact.

  • Threat modeling with STRIDE × MAESTRO incl. physical layer
  • Testing along the OWASP LLM Top 10, AISVS, ISTG and IoT Top 10
  • Evidence for CRA, EN 18031, AI Act and Machinery Regulation

Agent Skills Security

Assessment and hardening of Agent Skills and Progressive Disclosure mechanisms — against compromised capabilities, tool misuse and the OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10.

  • Analysis of skill definitions and progressive disclosure
  • Detection of embedded instructions and rug-pull risks
  • Approval and update processes for skill catalogues

ADR — Detection & Response

Runtime detection and response for AI agents: telemetry across prompts, tool calls and agent identities, detection use cases against goal hijacking and more, and rehearsed response playbooks — integrated with your SOC.

  • Telemetry across prompts, tool calls and identities
  • Detection rules for agentic misbehaviour
  • Response paths and playbooks for emergencies

Approach

From threat model to secure operations

Four phases, one thread: each phase builds on the results of the previous one — and each can be commissioned on its own.

Capture threats systematically

We model your agent system with MAESTRO across 7 architecture layers, combine STRIDE with the OWASP catalogues and prioritise risks along your real architecture — the basis for testing, hardening and operations.

Frameworks & standards

Anchored in recognised standards

Our services follow the authoritative catalogues and regulations for AI and agent security — from OWASP to the EU AI Act.

Frequently asked questions

Answered briefly — we clarify the details in an initial consultation.

What distinguishes agentic AI security from classic LLM security?

Agents plan, use tools, keep memory and act autonomously in real systems. That creates risks far beyond prompt filters: tool poisoning, memory poisoning, misaligned autonomy and unattributable agentic identities. Our services address exactly these layers — from modeling to operations.

We use MCP — where do we start?

With an MCP security assessment: we review servers, authorisation (OAuth 2.1), tool definitions and trust boundaries, and prioritise the findings. MCP threat modeling and targeted pentests build on top of that.

Do we need a threat model first, or a pentest first?

Ideally both, in that order: the threat model makes architecture and risks visible and focuses the pentest on the critical paths. For systems already in production you can also start with a pentest — the results then feed back into the model.

Does this also cover compliance requirements such as the EU AI Act?

Yes — threat models, test reports and AI SBOMs are solid evidence for the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001 and NIS2. For the governance side we work seamlessly with our GRC team — up to a certifiable AI management system.

How quickly does an engagement deliver first results?

Assessments and threat modeling workshops deliver prioritised results within days; pentests follow the agreed scope. Detection & response is built iteratively — starting with the signals that cover your biggest risk.

Are you deploying AI agents? Then secure them.

In a no-obligation initial consultation we assess your AI landscape and show which testing and hardening building blocks deliver the greatest leverage for you.
