Six national cybersecurity agencies, including the US CISA and NSA, have jointly released guidance on the security risks associated with agentic AI systems. The document outlines five key risk categories: privilege escalation, design and configuration flaws, unexpected agent behavior, cascading structural failures in interconnected agent networks, and challenges in accountability due to system complexity. The guidance emphasizes applying existing security principles like zero trust and least privilege to these new systems, urging organizations to prioritize resilience and reversibility over efficiency.
