Why Agentic AI Is Security's Next Blind Spot
Summary
Agentic AI (AI systems that can independently execute tasks and take actions) is already running in many organizations without security teams fully understanding it, creating a significant security gap. Security professionals cannot effectively protect technology they don't understand, and teams that lack fluency in agentic AI are being bypassed by business units moving forward without their input. The article identifies three main categories of agentic AI risk: general-purpose coding agents (like GitHub Copilot), vendor-built agents using MCP (Model Context Protocol, which allows agents to connect to external services), and custom agents built by non-technical users, each requiring different security considerations.
