360 Group officially released the country's first "OpenClaw Security Deployment and Practice Guide" on March 11, aiming to provide a systematic security solution for the rapidly popular open-source AI agent OpenClaw.

As AI agents increasingly evolve into "digital avatars," their deep permission calling mechanisms enhance efficiency but also amplify potential security threats. 360 security experts pointed out that the current deployment of agents like OpenClaw mainly faces typical risks such as exposed management interfaces, credential leaks, underlying Shell privilege escalation, and prompt injection. Especially prompt injection and plugin supply chain attacks have become high-risk new attack paths that developers often overlook.

Regarding different application scales, 360 proposed a "control first, then improve efficiency" classification governance strategy. For individual developers and small startups, the guide clearly recommends using containerization technology to build isolated environments, preventing risks through the principle of least privilege and key encryption injection. For government and enterprise-level multi-agent collaboration scenarios, it introduces an overall security architecture based on zero-trust principles, controlling traffic through a secure gateway, and combining RBAC fine-grained access control and behavioral baseline analysis to achieve real-time interception of abnormal commands.

In the context of AI Agents accelerating commercial implementation, the release of this guide marks a shift in industry focus from purely functional development to in-depth security compliance governance, laying a technical foundation for building a more resilient AI application ecosystem.
