Everyone Is Deploying AI Agents. Almost Nobody Knows What They’re Doing.
Tags: access, ai, api, attack, ceo, ciso, credentials, data, data-breach, finance, infrastructure, Internet, LLM, risk, service, tool, vulnerability, wafOne constant I hear from CISOs I speak with is that AI agents are not coming. They are already inside organizations, reasoning through goals, selecting tools, and taking action through the same APIs that connect your most sensitive systems. And most security teams have no idea what those agents are doing. The problem Is not…

Reco targets AI agent blind spots with new security capability
Aiming where traditional SSPM falls short: Reco positions the launch as a break from traditional SSPM, arguing that those tools were never designed for autonomous systems.”SSPM sees connections. We see behavior,” Klein said. While a typical SSPM might flag a Zapier-Salesforce link as a third-party integration, “We identify that this specific Zapier workflow is an…

An AI Agent Didn’t Hack McKinsey. Its Exposed APIs Did.
This week’s McKinsey incident should be a wake-up call for every enterprise moving fast to deploy AI. Not because AI itself is inherently insecure. But because too many organizations are still thinking about AI security at the model layer, while the real enterprise risk sits in the action layer: the APIs, MCP servers, internal services,…

AgentAgent Attacks Are Coming: What API Security Teaches Us About Securing AI Systems
AI systems are no longer just isolated models responding to human prompts. In modern production environments, they are increasingly chained together delegating tasks, calling tools, and coordinating decisions with limited or no human oversight. Almost all that communication happens through APIs. This shift offers enormous productivity benefits. But it has also complicated security. Because […]…
