First holistic survey of LLM agentic security covering 160+ papers across applications, threats, and defenses
Prompt Injection Excessive Agency Insecure Plugin Design nlp
In this work we present the first holistic survey of the agentic security landscape, structuring the field around three fundamental pillars: Applications, Threats, and Defenses. We provide a comprehensive taxonomy of over 160 papers, explaining how agents are used in downstream cybersecurity applications, inherent threats to agentic systems, and countermeasures designed to protect them. A detailed cross-cutting analysis shows emerging trends in agent architecture while revealing critical research gaps in model and modality coverage. A complete and continuously updated list of all surveyed papers is publicly available at https://github.com/kagnlp/Awesome-Agentic-Security.
