Summary
Agentic AI (autonomous AI systems designed to achieve specific goals) relies heavily on having accurate context (the complete information about your systems, assets, and threats) to make good security decisions. If given incomplete or wrong context, agentic AI will still act quickly and confidently but make bad decisions at machine speed, potentially causing catastrophic harm like shutting down critical business systems without understanding their importance.
