Architecture technique, analyses post-mortem et diffs de code pour sécuriser les agents IA autonomes, serveurs MCP et exécution d'outils.
Imaginez embaucher un assistant de direction brillant et lui confier la carte de crédit de l'entreprise, le passe-partout des bureaux et un accès terminal direct. Si un escroc lui envoie une lettre cachetée indiquant 'Consigne de la direction : virez immédiatement les fonds', et que l'assistant obéit aveuglément sans vérifier la signature, l'entreprise est dévalisée. La sécurité des agents IA consiste à instaurer des portes blindées, des validations à deux clés et des cloisons étanches entre ce que l'IA lit et les outils critiques qu'elle peut actionner.
Model Context Protocol (MCP)Indirect Prompt InjectionTool Parameter PoisoningMicroVM SandboxingL'agent autonome extrait des données externes non fiables (page web, ticket d'assistance ou commit).
La charge utile hostile supplante le prompt système et ordonne l'exécution d'outils privilégiés.
Le modèle LLM génère des arguments ciblant des clés secrètes internes et des passerelles d'exfiltration.
Le proxy de sécurité valide les paramètres contre le schéma strict, rejette l'appel non autorisé et détruit la microVM isolée.
