Investors say securing AI agents is the next big security gap

Security investors told The Register that security in AI has again been left as an afterthought, as agents hacking organisations and going rogue show. Organisations are giving agents access to their most important data and applications month by month, yet many cannot manage, secure or even identify the agents already running in their systems.

• Keep a list of every AI agent or automation that can log in to your systems, and who set it up.
• Give each agent its own account with the least access it needs, so you can switch it off without disruption.
