Worried About Agi Cyber Controls?

WORRIED ABOUT AGI CYBER CONTROLS? — LOOK HERE FOR AN EASY TO CONSUME CHECKLIST...
(Because your AI just confessed it wants “a deeper relationship with every API in the building.”)

IDENTITY + SECRETS
☑ Per-agent service principals (dev / test / prod).
☑ Short-lived OIDC tokens; kill every static API key on sight.
☑ Secrets broker (Vault / AWS Secrets Manager / Azure Key Vault).
☑ Scoped roles — your AI shouldn’t be Domain Admin with feelings.
👉 Vendors: AWS IAM Identity Center, Azure Entra ID, HashiCorp Vault.

TOOL PRIVILEGE
☑ Approved tool registry (hash, owner, version).
☑ Schema-locked I/O — no free-form shell adventures.
☑ Policy-as-Code gate (OPA /Rego) before execution.
☑ Pre-flight “show me the diff” mode.
☑ Rate limits, spend caps, and action quotas.
👉 Controls: OPA + Conftest + Rego policies; NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails; AWS Bedrock Guardrails; Azure Prompt Shields; Google Vertex AI Safety Filters.

DATA & PROMPTS
☑ Retrieval allow-lists — stop it reading SharePoint’s weird bits.
☑ PII redaction before context stuffing.
☑ Signed provenance of every chunk (Cosign / SLSA attestations).
☑ Prompt templates only — no user improv theatre.
☑ JSON-schema output validation → parse, don’t pray.
👉 Tools: Langfuse / Helicone for prompt telemetry; Lakera Guard (now Check Point) for injection defence; Google Prompt Guard.

SANDBOX & OBSERVABILITY
☑ Each tool in its own container — read-only, CPU-capped.
☑ Network egress allow-lists.
☑ Signed action ledger (prompt hash + tool call + result).
☑ Replayable sessions — because Legal will ask what happened.
☑ Big red KILL SWITCH per environment.
👉 Infra: Firecracker / Kata microVMs; gVisor / GKE Sandbox; Langfuse for replay; Robust Intelligence AI Firewall for runtime monitoring.

HUMAN IN THE LOOP
☑ Classify actions: Informational / Reversible / Irreversible.
☑ Mandatory HITL for irreversible or cross-domain stuff.
☑ Shadow mode first — let it stalk safely in staging.
👉 Frameworks: ServiceNow with approval flows; OPA policy triggers; LangChain HITL callbacks.

TEST + RED TEAM + REPEAT
☑ Jailbreak + prompt-injection evals.
☑ “Forbidden tool” canary (e.g., drop_db) — instant termination if touched.
☑ Weekly chaos drills — rogue agent tabletop.
☑ One-click rollback; all versions pinned.
👉 Vendors: Robust Intelligence eval suite; Protect AI Guardian / HiddenLayer Model Scanner for model integrity; Check Point Infinity GenAI Eval Suite.

DASHBOARD IT
☑ Prevented harmful actions (#).
☑ % policy-gated actions.
☑ Time-to-kill-switch (seconds).
☑ Jailbreak success rate (↓).
☑ Blast-radius max (hosts / records).
👉 Tools: Datadog / Splunk / Elastic with Langfuse or Helicone telemetry; Zscaler / Netskope for GenAI egress DLP.

FINAL THOUGHT
Your AI doesn’t need freedom.
It needs supervision, boundaries, and a sandbox to scream into.
Because when it starts flirting with APIs you’ve never heard of —
that’s not innovation.

That’s incident response with feelings.

Have Fun
