Engineering Secure Agentic Systems.
An Undergraduate Introduction to Building, Constraining, and Governing Autonomous AI Agents
Software used to do what its source code said. An agent does not: it chooses its own actions at run time, with tools that touch real resources and inputs an adversary may partly supply. Telling it how to behave in a prompt is not a security control.
This undergraduate teaching text shows how to engineer agentic systems whose behaviour stays bounded even when their reasoning is wrong: threat modelling, identity and delegation, policy enforcement, isolation, human oversight, monitoring and auditability, with exercises throughout.
For learners and builders approaching agentic AI through architecture, constraints, and responsibility.
