The attack surface you can't see: Securing your autonomous AI and agentic systems

The Invisible Attack Surface: Securing Autonomous AI and Agentic Systems

AI agents are powerful, but without new guardrails and zero trust controls, they can quickly become your biggest security risk.

For decades, cybersecurity focused on securing static assets — servers, endpoints, and code. However, the introduction of autonomous AI agents changes this security landscape. Their autonomy and connectivity, which enable them to set goals, access databases, and execute code across networks, also make them a significant, self-guided security risk.

We are shifting from securing static software to securing dynamic, self-evolving, decision-making systems. Many organizations are rapidly deploying these systems while operating with a substantial blind spot.
