Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"Swarm Attacks. The need for multi-agent security is foreshadowed by attacks today that benefit from the use of many decentralised agents, such as distributed denial-of-service attacks (Cisco, 2023; Yoachimik & Pacheco, 2024). Such attacks exploit the massive collective resources of individual low- resourced actors, chained into an attack that breaks the assumptions of bandwidth constraints on a single well-resourced agent."
