Course Chapter 05

Securely Launching to the Public

Ship agentic applications to real users without exposing your system to prompt injection, data leaks, or runaway costs.

Threat models, access control, and operational safety for agentic products

Chapter framing

Building something that works locally is one thing. Putting it in front of real users — with real data, real adversaries, and real consequences — is another.

This chapter covers the security and operational concerns that matter most when you launch an agentic application to the public. Threat modeling, authentication, monitoring, and the ability to shut things down when they go wrong.
