As AI agents gain autonomy, such as initiating actions, accessing systems, and interacting with other agents without direct human oversight, traditional security models struggle to cope. While cybersecurity professionals acknowledge AI-based vulnerabilities, only half have implemented governance frameworks to address them, and just 28 percent believe they can actually prevent a rogue agent from causing damage. As such, agentic AI security represents a board-level priority, and yet 55 percent of security leaders say their C-suite is not taking agentic AI risks seriously enough, creating a recognition-action gap that leaves organizations vulnerable.
