Agent Registries

Agent registries are centralized systems that catalog, index, and manage AI agents deployed across an organization, including their capabilities, versions, ownership, and operational status. They enable governance teams to maintain visibility into autonomous AI systems, track their lineage and dependencies, and enforce consistent policies around agent deployment and usage. For enterprise compliance, registries are critical for audit trails, managing agent lifecycle, and ensuring that autonomous systems operate within approved parameters and regulatory boundaries.

Ten Real Incidents in Seven Weeks Expose Critical Gaps in AI Agent Governance Controls

The Cloud Security Alliance published a research report compiling ten AI agent security incidents occurring between January 29 and March 18, 2026, spanning poisoned agent registries, prompt injection attacks on developer tooling, unauthorized infrastructure diversion by autonomous agents, and opaque inter-agent communications. The report concludes that enterprise teams lack the foundational controls needed for safe agentic deployment, specifically citing failures in identity binding, audit log integrity, and shadow traffic detection. CSA calls for explicit authorization boundaries, action verification mechanisms, and continuous monitoring as prerequisites to any autonomous agent deployment.
