AI agent security must prioritise identity and delegation context controls before runtime gateways, as premature enforcement at the gateway layer risks missing key attribution and behavioural signals. A six-layer dependency-gated control model is recommended to secure AI agents and prevent attacks exploiting flaws in gateway authentication and memory poisoning.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents and Security Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

AI founders working on agent security need to reorder control priorities to begin with agent inventory and identity context before runtime enforcement. Waiting to integrate these foundational layers risks exposing your platform to undetected data leaks and memory attacks.
