Pwning Agentic AI Part III: Securing Your AI Agent

This article examines defensive strategies against return-to-tool attacks targeting agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems, including read-only database bypasses, support-ticket ransomware, and credential exfiltration. The piece evaluates which mitigations prove effective and which fall short against this emerging threat category.
