## AI overview

This tutorial explains how to secure AI agents running on Red Hat OpenShift using containment, verifiable identity, and governance. It covers namespace isolation, quotas, sandboxing, workload identity, and admission control, with OpenClaw used in the demo.

## Source excerpt

When an agent process runs on your laptop, it typically inherits anything your user has access to. Often this includes the full network stack, the file system, and the credentials sitting in memory. When integrating with GitHub, Slack, or a cloud provider, you could be one faulty permission or well-crafted prompt injection away from a security incident.
