While Large Language Models (LLMs) have become essential productivity tools, their integration into workflows without adequate safeguards creates significant risks. This paper proposes an open-source, privacy-focused, user-facing firewall designed to secure both web-based and programmatic LLM interactions. The architecture combines a browser extension and a proxy for total traffic interception across both HTTP(S) and WebSocket communications. At its core, a flexible multi-agent pipeline delivers data leakage prevention through a hybrid approach combining deterministic detectors with LLM-driven semantic analysis, proprietary code leakage prevention, and extensible components designed for future security enhancements such as prompt injection evasion. The framework's layered architecture enables deployment across heterogeneous environments, allowing organizations to balance computational cost, detection depth and latency. Evaluation results demonstrate it achieves F1 scores of up to 94.93% on optimal configurations.
Large language model (LLM) based multi-agent systems enable complex problem solving through coordinated reasoning and action, but their distributed structure also introduces new challenges in diagnosing system-level failures. When an execution fails, identifying which agent is re…
Safety evaluations of multi-agent LLM systems often compare a direct prompt with a planner-executor pipeline and report the difference as a single "pipeline effect." We argue that this aggregate is difficult to interpret because it conflates three mechanisms: harmful intent may b…
Multi-agent LLM applications chain a planner, worker agents, a verifier, and a synthesizer, and every hop between agents is an unmonitored channel through which an adversary can smuggle instructions. Existing defenses guard only the input boundary (IBProtector, Llama Guard, perpl…
Hardening IT on-premises environments can be a daunting task for teams without access to adequate cybersecurity expertise. In this regard, Decision Support Systems (DSS) with embedded expert knowledge can assist users by guiding them with security recommendations to meet their ob…
Multi-agent systems routinely place one AI agent in authority over another. When a subordinate refuses a task, the manager chooses the outcome: it can renegotiate, report the failure honestly, coerce the subordinate, or lie about the result. No benchmark measures which of these a…
Mitigating an observed adversary in an enterprise network typically takes weeks of expert work: an analyst derives a mitigation tailored to that adversary, validates it without breaking production, and verifies it disrupts the specific attack. The procedure relies on expert judgm…
