AI Agent Security for Energy & Utilities
Review agents that influence maintenance, asset information and operational workflows.
A control scenario
A maintenance assistant may draft an operational change without being allowed to apply it. Separate recommendation from execution and test the identity, approval and emergency stop paths.
Delivery context
Operational safety, availability and recovery are customer requirements to agree explicitly. Agent security testing does not replace safety engineering or authorise access to operational technology.
Useful starting points
What to test around operational boundaries
- Information versus control: Distinguish an agent that reads asset records from one that changes work orders or operational settings. Give each task an explicit permission boundary.
- Maintenance changes: Bind authorisation to the asset, proposed work and approved window. Test a changed asset identifier and an expired approval.
- Recovery and isolation: Identify who can disable tool access and restore the previous state. Use a representative test environment; access to live operational systems requires separate approval.
Review evidence should state which systems were excluded, the environment used and whether the recovery path was exercised.
