Prevent Mission Drift with Agentic AI Governance | Cyera Blog

Agentic AI’s probabilistic, judgment-oriented behavior can gradually shift an organization’s practical values—"mission drift"—by making many small decisions that reinterpret corporate priorities. The report explains how automation bias causes humans to accept AI judgments as objective, making drift hard to detect, and recommends governance measures (visibility into agent access/actions, control of decision signals, and enforced human review) to preserve decision rights; it positions Cyera’s tools as a means to reduce excessive permissions, improve visibility, and constrain agent behavior.
