Enterprise AI security is shifting focus from model output safety to controlling the execution layer where AI agents interact with production systems. Vendors like Microsoft, Snowflake, Palo Alto Networks, and CrowdStrike are advancing identity and governance controls at the execution layer to enable safer production deployments, while standards from NIST are still catching up.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.
