Security breaches destroy trust and trigger legal liability. Every production AI agent must have authentication, authorization, encryption, input validation, audit logging, and compliance controls. Critical security items are non-negotiable—100% completion required before deployment.

Common Security Pitfalls
Never store API keys in code. Use environment variables or secrets manager.
Attackers can abuse unlimited API calls. Implement per-user rate limits.
Log security events for forensics. Timestamp, user, action, result.
Use strong auth (OAuth, JWT). Never use basic auth over HTTP.
One security breach can destroy years of trust. Treat all critical security items as deployment gates. Schedule quarterly security audits. Keep dependencies updated. Monitor CVE databases. Security is not a one-time checkbox—it's an ongoing commitment.
