OWASP Agentic Security Initiative releases Agentic AI Threats and Mitigations v1.0

Feb 17, 2025PolicyFrameworkSignificance assistant-drafted

OWASP's Agentic Security Initiative published a threat-model-based reference of emerging threats to LLM-powered autonomous agents and corresponding mitigations. It became the taxonomy underpinning the later OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, which shipped with an updated v1.1 of this guide.

Why it matters

It is a community taxonomy built specifically for agents rather than chat applications.
