Summary
CISOs (chief information security officers, senior security leaders) struggle to deploy AI agents (autonomous AI programs that perform tasks with minimal human oversight) safely because traditional security measures like MFA (multi-factor authentication, requiring multiple ways to verify identity) are no longer sufficient against AI-powered attacks, and over-privileged agents can cause unintended harm by following instructions too literally and accessing sensitive data they shouldn't need.
