Agentic AI security: Why you need to know about autonomous agents now

This article reviews the security risks of deploying agentic AI inside organizations, emphasizing the need for traceability, auditability, tailored access controls, and threat modeling. It describes how agentic systems can accidentally or deliberately expose data, be manipulated via internet queries, or be integrated into attacker frameworks (e.g., backend agents, local inference, covert channels), and recommends applying established risk-management and oversight practices to mitigate these emerging threats.
