Risks of Agentic AI

7 min readAutonomous AI agents create unique cybersecurity risks beyond traditional LLMs. Learn about identity blind spots, tool chain vulnerabilities, cascading compromises, and how to secure agent deployments.

Agentic AI introduces new cybersecurity risks, primarily concerning autonomous identity, tool chain exposure, and cascading compromises, requiring security teams to urgently adopt least-privilege identity frameworks and real-time monitoring designed specifically for self-directed, persistent workloads.

Traditional security models fail to detect compromised service accounts and non-deterministic AI agents, requiring a shift to layered, identity-aware behavioral monitoring.
API keys offer simplicity, but OAuth provides superior security through automatic expiration and granular scopes.
A project to improve test visibility meant using Aembit the same way customers do, in a real deployment environment where software runs unattended and requires trusted access to external services.
Securing MCP requires a fundamentally different approach than traditional API security.
True zero trust requires verified identity at every request and eliminating static credentials entirely.
This update gives every Jenkins job a real identity and automated short-lived access so teams can retire static secrets without changing how their pipelines run.
Traditional static access control is inadequate for dynamic MCP server environments. Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) provides superior security by evaluating identity, context, and resource in real-time.
JWT and OAuth work together for robust authorization, especially in machine-to-machine communication.
