Ed Keisling, Chief AI Officer at Progress Software, warns enterprises are scaling AI agents without adequate governance and controls, risking data exposure and network compromise. He emphasises the need for system thinking, modular technology stacks, and strict identity and access controls to scale AI safely, especially where legacy infrastructure exists.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents, Enterprise Software and Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must treat AI agent scaling as a governance challenge not just a tech upgrade. Establish strong access controls and modular platforms now to avoid costly breaches and trust issues later.
