AI agents are rapidly deployed across enterprises with access to sensitive systems and data, but most organisations lack visibility and governance controls over these privileged identities. The expansion of agent-to-system connections via standards like the Model Context Protocol is multiplying the attack surface faster than security controls can keep pace.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents, Cybersecurity and Identity & Access.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your AI agent just became an insider threat you can't see. If you're selling identity governance, compliance, or security tooling to enterprises, this is your open door: every agent connection is a credential you now need to manage, and most organisations have zero inventory of what permissions they've handed out.
