**Probability**: Medium (30%)
**Impact**: High
**Mitigation Strategy**:
```python
# Performance monitoring and auto-scaling
class PerformanceMonitor:
    def __init__(self):
        self.thresholds = {
            "response_time": 500,  # ms
            "memory_usage": 80,    # %
            "cpu_usage": 75,       # %
            "error_rate": 1        # %
        }
        self.auto_scaler = AutoScaler()
    
    async def monitor_and_scale(self):
        metrics = await self.get_current_metrics()
        
        if metrics["response_time"] > self.thresholds["response_time"]:
            await self.auto_scaler.scale_up(instances=1)
        
        if metrics["error_rate"] > self.thresholds["error_rate"]:
            await self.trigger_circuit_breaker()
            await self.alert_ops_team()
```

#### Risk 2: Security Breach
**Probability**: Low (10%)
**Impact**: Critical
**Mitigation Strategy**:
- **Multi-layer security**: WAF + DDoS protection + encryption
- **Real-time monitoring**: 24/7 security operations center
- **Incident response**: <30 second detection, <5 minute response
- **Backup systems**: Isolated, encrypted, geo-distributed

#### Risk 3: Agent Coordination Failures
**Probability**: Medium (25%)
**Impact**: Medium
**Mitigation Strategy**:
```python
# Circuit breaker pattern for agent coordination
class AgentCircuitBreaker:
    def __init__(self, failure_threshold=5, timeout=60):
        self.failure_threshold = failure_threshold
        self.timeout = timeout
        self.failure_count = 0
        self.last_failure_time = None
        self.state = "CLOSED"  # CLOSED, OPEN, HALF_OPEN
    
    async def call_agent(self, agent_function, *args, **kwargs):
        if self.state == "OPEN":
            if time.time() - self.last_failure_time > self.timeout:
                self.state = "HALF_OPEN"
            else:
                raise CircuitBreakerOpenError("Circuit breaker is OPEN")
        
        try:
            result = await agent_function(*args, **kwargs)
            if self.state == "HALF_OPEN":
                self.state = "CLOSED"
                self.failure_count = 0
            return result
        except Exception as e:
            self.failure_count += 1
            if self.failure_count >= self.failure_threshold:
                self.state = "OPEN"
                self.last_failure_time = time.time()
            raise e
```

### Business Risks
