Multi-Agent Security Workshop @ DAI'25

OWL has successfully [co-hosted a multi-agent security workshop at DAI'25][https://wittlab.ai/event/masec_dai25]. The workshop took place in King’s College, London and surfaced new threat models and practitioner insights.

Decentralised AI is shifting from isolated agents to networks of interacting agents operating across shared platforms and protocols. This creates security challenges beyond traditional cybersecurity and single-agent safety, where free-form communication and tool use are essential for task generalisation yet open new system-level failure modes. These security vulnerabilities complicate attribution and oversight, and network effects can turn local issues into persistent, systemic risks (e.g., privacy leaks, jailbreak propagation, distributed attacks, or secret collusion). The workshop will address open challenges in multi-agent security as a discipline dedicated to securing interactions among agents, human–AI teams, and institutions—emphasising security–performance–coordination trade-offs, secure interaction protocols and environments, and monitoring/containment that remain effective under emergent behaviour. The main focus will lie on threat model discovery through community interaction.
