Agentic AI and the Expanding Risk Surface

The AgenticAI Course Connection

If you've completed or are considering the AgenticAI course in this curriculum, you know that building agents with security built in is a design problem from the beginning. The relevant principles for building secure agents: design agents with minimum permissions (only what they need), maximum transparency about what they're doing (log it, show it to the user), and human confirmation for consequential actions (never act without approval). This course establishes the "why" — prompt injection exists, agentic AI raises the stakes, therefore you need these protections. The AgenticAI course covers the "how" — how to actually design and build agents that incorporate these safeguards.
