Agents are your newest insiders. Security must move at their speed.

AI agents are moving from assistants to active participants in business processes, which creates new productivity upside but also a new class of insider risk because they operate with access to data, apps, and systems at machine speed. For CIOs and technology leaders, the strategic implication is that agent security cannot rely on the model itself; IT must put identity, permissions, policy enforcement, monitoring, and containment outside the model and manage agent authority continuously as context and risk change. This shifts the operating model toward end-to-end visibility and adaptive controls across identity, data, endpoints, network, cloud, and runtime.
