Agent Security

Agent security refers to the technical and operational safeguards protecting autonomous AI systems from misuse, manipulation, and unintended behavior. This includes monitoring agent actions, implementing access controls, and detecting anomalies that could indicate compromised instructions or harmful task execution. For enterprises, agent security is critical because autonomous systems operating without proper guardrails can expose organizations to financial loss, regulatory violations, and reputational damage through actions taken without human oversight.
