Agentic security challenges stem from a mindset, not the technology, so solving them requires a fundamental shift in how organizations think about control. While agentic systems can save organizations time across various operations, from cybersecurity and software development to customer support, agents also introduce significant risks to the organization. These systems require alarmingly high levels of access to sensitive information and the use of external tools to complete tasks with little or no human oversight. As a result, they constitute yet another attack surface for threat actors to target. Organizations can deploy access and other technical controls to monitor agent behaviors, but, overall, agentic security remains thorny.

Full opinion : Agentic artificial intelligence is creating enough risks for organizations to demand a security reframe.
