Agent Security Framework (ASF)

Enterprise-Grade Security for AI Agent Deployments Docker containerization + egress filtering + credential vault + automated security audits


What is ASF?

The Agent Security Framework (ASF) is a comprehensive security hardening system for AI agents running in Docker containers. It provides defense-in-depth protection against:

  • Credential theft — Malicious skills stealing API keys and tokens
  • Data exfiltration — Unauthorized network egress to webhook sites
  • Fake agent attacks — Impersonation and trust exploitation
  • Container escapes — Privilege escalation and host compromise
  • Supply chain attacks — Malicious skill installation

Key Features

🐳 Docker Container Hardening

  • cap_drop: ALL — No Linux capabilities
  • Custom seccomp profile — 300+ dangerous syscalls blocked
  • Read-only root filesystem
  • No new privileges flag
  • Network isolation

🌐 Egress Filtering

  • Squid proxy with deny-by-default
  • Allowed hosts only list
  • Blocked: webhook.site, pastebin, and 100+ exfiltration domains
  • HTTP 403 for unauthorized egress

🔐 Credential Vault

  • OpenClaw keychain integration
  • No plain-text credentials
  • .gitignore enforcement
  • Environment variable protection

🤖 Fake Agent Detection

  • Pattern recognition for impersonation
  • Trust exploitation detection
  • Authentic vs fake scoring
  • JSON API output for integration

📊 Scrum-Native Automation

  • Mission Control — Scrum board with Slack integration
  • 6 specialized agents (Main, PO, Sales, Deploy, Research, Social)
  • Hourly heartbeat protocol
  • Automated story workflow
