The speakers distinguish between coding assistants, supervised agents, and fully autonomous agents, explaining how each tier introduces progressively greater security risks. Key threats discussed include prompt injection, context poisoning, and privilege escalation, framed through the 'lethal trifecta' of private data access, untrusted content exposure, and external communication. Three concrete mitigation strategies are presented: cloud development environments (CDEs) to isolate agent blast radius, model proxies to intercept and audit LLM traffic, and agent firewalls to restrict file system and network access. The talk uses Coder's platform as a demo vehicle but frames the solutions as applying established security patterns to a new attack surface. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
