Quick Start

Basic Integration

from swarms import Agent, SequentialWorkflow
from swarms.security import ShieldConfig

# Create agents
agents = [
    Agent(
        agent_name="SecureAgent1",
        system_prompt="You are a secure agent.",

Security Methods

All swarm architectures inherit security methods from BaseSwarm:

Input Validation

# Validate task input
validated_task = workflow.validate_task_with_shield(
    "Process sensitive data: user@example.com", 
    "SecureAgent1"
)

# Validate agent configuration
is_valid, validated_config, error = workflow.validate_agent_config_with_shield(
    {"api_key": "sk-123..."}, 
    "SecureAgent1"
)

Communication Processing

# Process outbound communication
is_valid, processed_message, error = workflow.process_agent_communication_with_shield(
    "SecureAgent1", 
    "Hello, this is a message", 
    "outbound"
)

# Process inbound communication
is_valid, processed_message, error = workflow.process_agent_communication_with_shield(
    "SecureAgent1", 
    "Received message", 
    "inbound"
)

Rate Limiting

# Check rate limits
is_allowed = workflow.check_rate_limit_with_shield("SecureAgent1", 1)

# Check token limits
is_allowed = workflow.check_rate_limit_with_shield("SecureAgent1", 1000)

Secure Communication

# Add secure message to encrypted conversation
success = workflow.add_secure_message("SecureAgent1", "Secret message")

# Get secure messages (requires conversation_id)
messages = workflow.get_secure_messages(conversation_id="conv_123")
for agent, message, timestamp in messages:
    print(f"{timestamp}: {agent}: {message}")

Security Monitoring

# Get comprehensive security statistics
stats = workflow.get_security_stats()
print(f"Security level: {stats['config']['security_level']}")
print(f"Rate limiting: {stats['rate_limiting']['total_agents']} agents")
print(f"Input validation: {stats['input_validation']['blocked_patterns_count']} patterns")

Best Practices

1. Choose Appropriate Security Level

• Use basic for development and testing
• Use standard for most production applications
• Use enhanced for sensitive data processing
• Use maximum for highly regulated environments

2. Configure Rate Limits

config = ShieldConfig(
    max_requests_per_minute=30,  # Adjust based on your needs
    max_tokens_per_request=5000,  # Limit resource usage
    rate_limit_window=60  # 1-minute window
)

3. Customize Patterns

config = ShieldConfig(
    custom_blocked_patterns=[
        # Add your organization-specific patterns
        r"internal\s+server\s+error",
        r"debug\s+mode",
        r"test\s+environment"
    ],
    custom_sensitive_patterns=[
        # Add your data-specific patterns
        r"\b[A-Z]{2}\d{2}[A-Z0-9]{10,30}\b",  # IBAN
        r"\b\d{3}[\s-]?\d{3}[\s-]?\d{4}\b"  # Phone number
    ]
)

4. Monitor Security

# Regular security monitoring
stats = workflow.get_security_stats()
if stats['rate_limiting']['blocked_agents'] > 0:
    print("Warning: Some agents are being rate limited")

# Check for security events
if stats['input_validation']['blocked_patterns_count'] > 0:
    print("Warning: Blocked patterns detected")

5. Handle Security Errors

# Validate input before processing
validated_task = workflow.validate_task_with_shield(task, agent_name)
if not validated_task:
    print("Security validation failed")
    return

# Check rate limits
is_allowed = workflow.check_rate_limit_with_shield(agent_name)
if not is_allowed:
    print("Rate limit exceeded")
    return

6. Error Handling and Robustness

import logging
from swarms import Agent

# Configure logging for security events
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

# Create agent with error handling
agent = Agent(
    agent_name="Robust-Secure-Agent",
    system_prompt="You are a secure and robust agent.",
    model_name="gpt-4o-mini",
    enable_security=True,
    security_level="enhanced",
    max_loops=1
)

try:
    result = agent.run("Process this task securely")
    logger.info("Task completed successfully")
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(f"Security error: {e}")
    # Handle security-related errors appropriately

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Security Initialization Failed

   # Check if cryptography is installed
   pip install cryptography
   
   # Use basic security as fallback
   workflow = SequentialWorkflow(
       agents=agents,
       enable_security=True,
       security_level="basic"
   )
   

2. Rate Limiting Too Strict

   # Increase rate limits
   config = ShieldConfig(
       max_requests_per_minute=100,  # Increase from default 60
       rate_limit_window=120  # Increase window
   )
   

3. Pattern Blocking Legitimate Content

   # Review and adjust patterns
   config = ShieldConfig(
       custom_blocked_patterns=[
           # Remove or modify problematic patterns
           r"javascript:",  # Too broad, consider more specific
       ]
   )
   

Performance Optimization

1. Disable Unnecessary Features

   config = ShieldConfig(
       enable_audit_logging=False,  # Disable if not needed
       log_input_output=False,  # Disable for performance
       enable_caching=True  # Enable caching
   )
   

2. Use Appropriate Security Level

   # Use basic for high-throughput scenarios
   workflow = SequentialWorkflow(
       agents=agents,
       enable_security=True,
       security_level="basic"  # Minimal overhead
   )
   

Migration Guide

From Standalone SwarmShield

If you were using the standalone SwarmShield package:

# Old standalone usage
from swarm_shield import SwarmShield
shield = SwarmShield(encryption_strength="maximum")

# New integrated usage
from swarms import SequentialWorkflow
from swarms.security import ShieldConfig

config = ShieldConfig.create_maximum_config()
workflow = SequentialWorkflow(
    agents=agents,
    shield_config=config,
    enable_security=True
)

From No Security

If you're adding security to existing swarms:

# Old usage without security
workflow = SequentialWorkflow(agents=agents)

# New usage with security
workflow = SequentialWorkflow(
    agents=agents,
    enable_security=True,
    security_level="standard"
)

Examples

See the complete examples in example_swarm_with_shield.py for:

• Basic security configuration
• Enhanced security features
• Maximum security setup
• Custom security patterns
• Security monitoring
• Async operations with security

Support

For issues and questions:

1. Check the troubleshooting section above
2. Review the security statistics for insights
3. Use basic security level for debugging
4. Check the logs in the security/ folder

Security Considerations

• Key Management: Keys are automatically rotated, but ensure secure storage
• Pattern Updates: Regularly update blocked and sensitive patterns
• Rate Limits: Monitor and adjust based on your application needs
• Audit Logs: Review logs regularly for security insights
• Updates: Keep the Swarms framework updated for security patches
