Agent security hinges on three critical questions: whose authority an action carries, what proof of that action exists, and the potential spread of damage if an action is incorrect. Current systems often fail to address these architectural concerns, which lie in the infrastructure surrounding AI models rather than the models themselves. Emerging categories like Forrester's "Agent Control Plane" and the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications are organizing risks around agent autonomy and the surrounding harness, focusing on issues like identity, tool misuse, and privilege escalation.
