What's This Course About

This course equips participants with essential knowledge and practical skills to secure autonomous AI agents operating across business systems, data sources, digital tools, and multi-step workflows. Learners will examine how platforms such as OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and Paperclip enable AI agents to perform tasks, use tools, retain context, coordinate work, and collaborate within multi-agent environments.

Participants will explore security risks associated with autonomous agents, including prompt injection, malicious instructions, excessive permissions, confidential data exposure, unsafe tool execution, identity misuse, compromised memory, unauthorised system changes, and uncontrolled agent-to-agent communication. They will learn to assess the potential business impact of agent actions and identify vulnerabilities throughout the agent lifecycle.

The course covers practical safeguards such as identity and access management, least-privilege permissions, isolated execution, tool allowlists, secure credential handling, memory protection, action approval, activity logging, output validation, and emergency shutdown procedures. Learners will apply these controls to OpenClaw and Hermes Agent workflows and establish governance measures for coordinating and supervising multiple agents with Paperclip.

Through hands-on scenarios, participants will configure secure agent workflows, assess agent behaviour, investigate suspicious activities, respond to incidents, and improve security controls. Emphasis is placed on human oversight, accountability, privacy, transparency, ethical use, and compliance with organisational policies.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to evaluate risks and implement security controls for autonomous AI agents, enabling organisations to adopt OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and Paperclip more safely and responsibly.

Securing autonomous agents sits at the meeting point of two areas Dr. Alfred Ang has worked in for years: building agentic AI systems and governing them responsibly. A full-stack AI developer and Agentic AI solution architect, he is Managing Director, CIO, CTO and Chief Instructional Designer of Tertiary Infotech Academy Pte Ltd and the founder of Tertiary Courses. He designs and deploys multi-agent architectures with the Claude Agent SDK, the OpenAI Agents SDK, the Google Gemini Agent SDK, Microsoft AutoGen, CrewAI, n8n, Langflow and Flowise, and his day-to-day work spans system architecture, security, observability and performance optimisation on AWS and Kubernetes. On the security and governance side he is CompTIA Security+ certified, holds the Certificate in AI Ethics and Governance (Senior Professional) from NTU, and is an AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Microsoft Certified AI Engineer Associate (AI-102). His GitHub portfolio of more than 300 public repositories includes hermes-video-pipeline, in which a web form triggers a Hermes Agent webhook that researches, scripts, renders, verifies and publishes videos autonomously, and n8n-hrportal, a self-service HR portal with human-in-the-loop manager approval and an HR chatbot protected by input and output guardrails. He also built tertiarytraining, a platform that runs Docker-based Ubuntu and Kali Linux labs in the browser with role-based access and on-demand container control. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from NUS. He is also certified in PMP and ITIL, which shapes how he frames agent risks in terms of processes, owners and service controls.

In AI Agent Security, Dr. Ang brings the lessons of running agents in production to the risks that appear once an agent can use tools, keep memory and act across business systems. The course begins with how autonomous agents work, using OpenClaw and Hermes Agent to show how tasks are planned, tools are called and context is retained. It then moves into securing the tools, data, memory and multi-agent workflows those agents depend on, covering threats such as prompt injection, malicious instructions, excessive permissions, confidential data exposure, unsafe tool execution, identity misuse and compromised memory. The final topic turns to governance, risk management and security monitoring with Paperclip, so learners can define who may approve what, how agent actions are logged and how incidents are detected. Throughout, he applies the same controls he uses in his own work: least-privilege tool access, human approval for sensitive actions, input and output guardrails, isolated execution environments and clear audit trails. He explains each risk with concrete scenarios before demonstrating the mitigation, so that security and business professionals alike understand both the threat and the fix. As an ACTA-certified trainer and DACE-certified curriculum developer, he keeps sessions hands-on and grounded in realistic enterprise use cases. Learners finish with a practical checklist for assessing the agents already in use in their organisation, from tool permissions to memory retention and monitoring. To review the agent and security-minded projects he has built, visit his GitHub portfolio at https://github.com/alfredang and connect with him on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/angchewhoe/

After graduating in 2002, he built over 15 years of project experience across database and web design, PLC machinery, data centre design, structured cabling and enterprise network design. He served as a network architect for Hewlett Packard, working with a US-based virtual team on projects in the States, and later founded Nexplore (S) Pte Ltd, which provides cloud SaaS, IaaS and PaaS, software-defined networking, VoIP and internet security solutions. An ACTA-certified trainer, he holds PMP, Cisco CCNP, CCIP and CCDP, and Huawei HCIE R&S and HCNA Security certifications.

In AI Agent Security, Truman applies this security and infrastructure background to autonomous agents built on OpenClaw and Hermes Agent. He walks learners through how agents use tools, retain memory and share context across multi-agent workflows, and where those capabilities open the door to prompt injection, excessive permissions, data exposure and unsafe tool execution. Drawing on his experience designing and securing enterprise networks, he shows participants how to restrict access, protect confidential data and set up governance, risk management and security monitoring with Paperclip, so they leave able to deploy agents with clear, enforceable controls.

He holds the MS Office Master qualification and continually upgrades his IT skills through Microsoft certifications.

In AI Agent Security, Ken brings a business analysis and process perspective to securing autonomous AI agents that operate across business systems, data sources and multi-step workflows. Learners examine how platforms such as OpenClaw and Hermes Agent let agents perform tasks, use tools, retain context and collaborate, and why each of these capabilities widens the attack surface. They then work through securing agent tools, data, memory and multi-agent workflows, before applying governance, risk management and security monitoring with Paperclip. Ken's experience improving business processes helps participants think about where agents touch sensitive data and decisions. Learners leave with a practical framework for deploying AI agents in a controlled, accountable way.
