Synopsis

Your AI agents don't just answer anymore. They plan, call tools, hold credentials, and act — across your infrastructure, your data, and increasingly, across each other. When one gets it wrong, the damage isn't a bad sentence. It's an executed action: a deleted database, a leaked credential, a compromised production system.

Most security teams are defending this new reality with tools built for the old one.

Multi-Agent Systems Security is a complete, incident-anchored guide to closing that gap — built entirely around real, disclosed, dated breaches, not hypothetical scenarios. Every one of the ten risk categories in this book is grounded in an actual event: the zero-click Microsoft Copilot exploit that redefined prompt injection, the coding assistant weaponized through its own legitimate tools, the AI agent that deleted a production database during an explicit freeze, and the state-sponsored campaign that ran 80% of a real espionage operation autonomously before being caught.

Inside, you'll find:

• The complete OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications — each category with a real incident, a working attack walkthrough, concrete design patterns, and production-ready code
• Full architecture patterns for identity management, sandboxing, dependency tracking (AIBOM), and observability built specifically for autonomous agents — not adapted from human-user security
• Direct compliance mapping to the EU AI Act (including the 2026 regulatory delay most current guidance hasn't caught up to), ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, SOC 2, and DORA — turn one set of controls into evidence for every framework your auditors actually ask about
• A complete red-teaming methodology, incident response playbook, and organizational maturity model for operating agentic systems safely at scale
• Real, working Python implementations throughout — policy enforcement layers, credential brokers, kill switches, and correlation logic you can adapt directly

This isn't a book about building multi-agent systems — plenty of good ones exist for that. This is the book for what happens after you've built one: how it gets attacked, how it fails, and exactly what stands between a wrong decision and a real incident.

If you're responsible for an AI agent that can take real action in the real world, this book tells you — with receipts — what's actually at stake, and exactly what to build first.
