AI Agents Require New Governance Models Beyond Traditional Security

The article argues that traditional security measures designed for human employees are inadequate for governing autonomous AI agents.

These agents operate in cloud environments and interact directly with SaaS applications via APIs, bypassing existing security infrastructure. The author suggests a fundamental shift is needed, drawing parallels to how human employees are onboarded and governed, to effectively manage the risks associated with this new digital workforce. AI

    AI agents aren't remote humans. They're cloud-native workers that were born in the infrastructure your endpoint tools can't reach.
