A recent survey reveals that despite the enthusiasm for AI agents in enterprises, there is a growing concern about their security risks.
Only 54% of IT professionals claim to have full awareness of the data their AI agents can access, leaving nearly half of enterprises unaware of potential risks.
92% of surveyed professionals agree that governing AI agents is crucial for security, but only 44% have a solid policy in place.
Concerns include unauthorized actions by AI agents, such as accessing unauthorized systems, sharing inappropriate data, and downloading sensitive content, leading to a call for treating AI agents like human users with access controls and audit trails.
