The proliferation of AI agents and machine identities within enterprises is making traditional, alert-based security models obsolete. The article argues that the future of data security depends on building a shared 'context layer' that integrates identity, behaviour, and data path signals to enable adaptive, autonomous enforcement rather than just threat detection.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

The market for security tools that just generate alerts is over. If you sell visibility, you are now a commodity; customers overwhelmed by noise from AI agents need platforms that can make automated decisions based on context.
