Securing AI Agents: Foundations, Frameworks and Real-World Deployments

The book the world needs right now

I just finished an incredible book by Ken Huang and Chris Hughes. Their book, Securing AI Agents: Foundations, Frameworks and Real-World Deployments, is exactly what the world needs right now.

We have been examining the rise of Agentic AI at OODA for quite a while. We have sought to capture what is different in terms of attack surface and underscore for leaders the importance of new methods of mitigating risk. But our examinations have been very strategic, aimed at corporate executives and board members (if that is you see Reducing Agentic AI Risk in the Enterprise). Those really on the front lines need much more. Huang and Hughes deliver that in a way that is insightful, well thought out and actionable.

My recommendation: Read through the entire book once to understand how they have captured the insights you need. Then keep it as a reference, you will want to refer back to it at all stages of your Agentic AI deployments, from conceptualization to security testing/red teaming to operations.

Thanks Ken and Chris, you have done us all a great service here.
