This article focuses on the fully distributed event‐triggered containment control problem of general linear multiagent systems (MASs) under denial‐of‐service (DoS) attacks, aiming to conserve limited network communication resources. First, an adaptive dynamic event‐triggered approach with a switching strategy is presented to protect from DoS attacks, which does not use the neighbors' states during the attack period. Incorporating adaptive coupling weights, this control scheme becomes fully distributed without the need for any global information of the network topology, enhancing the flexibility and scalability of the control approach. An auxiliary exponential term in the adaptive parameter ensures the asymptotic containment under DoS attacks. By analyzing a Lyapunov function including the same exponential term, sufficient conditions for controller parameters are derived to demonstrate the implementation of secure asymptotic containment control. Additionally, Zeno phenomenon can be excluded effectively from the established mechanism. Finally, the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed fully distributed event‐triggered approach are demonstrated through an example.
