How Auth0 Mitigates OWASP's Agentic AI Threats
Okta, Tuesday, July 29th, 2025
AI-powered agents are changing the way we live, work, and interact with technology. A recent report found that 82% of companies plan to integrate AI agents in 1-3 years, whether it's assisting with customer service, automating processes, or even making decisions on our behalf.
However, as AI becomes more autonomous, it introduces new security risks. Attackers can manipulate AI to expose sensitive data, execute unauthorized actions, or even impersonate users. Without security built in from the start, businesses risk losing control over AI agents and their workflows, exposing themselves to compliance violations, breaches, and fraud.
The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) recently released its Threats and Mitigations for LLM Apps & Gen AI Agents, outlining the most pressing security risks AI-driven applications pose. From identity spoofing to tool misuse, these threats highlight the urgent need for better security in AI development.
Security can't be an afterthought. We built Auth for GenAI to help organizations secure their AI-driven applications from the start.
