Agentic AI, autonomous systems powered by generative models, represents a groundbreaking advancement, promising unprecedented productivity, innovation, and efficiency. With such transformative power, however, comes significant responsibility, particularly in addressing an evolving and complex cybersecurity landscape. As enterprises deploy AI agents in critical workflows and customer-facing applications, traditional cybersecurity methods are being exposed as inadequate.

Understanding Unique Security Challenges

The transition from conventional AI tools that are limited to performing straightforward, defined tasks to sophisticated autonomous agents has radically altered the cybersecurity terrain. Agentic AI faces a number of unique threats, including prompt injections that manipulate agent behavior, off-topic or hallucinated responses, and intricate adversarial attacks designed specifically to exploit vulnerabilities in generative AI systems.

These challenges are compounded by the...
