AI agents are evolving from passive tools to active actors with privileged access in enterprise systems, requiring new security models that focus on controlling their specific actions and autonomy rather than just their access rights.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents, Cybersecurity and Identity & Access.
