TBDCyber | Agentic AI Security Series This is our fifth article in our Agentic AI Security series. Our first two articles have discussed the problem framework (see The 45 Billion Identity Problem Nobody Is Talking About and The Identity Paradox: Why Agentic AI Breaks IAM by Design). Articles 3-4 mapped internal and external agent risk (see Shadow AI Is Already Here, And Your Security Team Doesn't Know It and The Vendor in Your Environment You Didn't Hire: Third-Party Embedde

TBDCyber | Agentic AI Security Series This is the fourth article in our Agentic AI Security Series. Your vendor risk management program knows how to handle third-party software. You conduct security assessments. You review SOC 2 reports. You negotiate data processing agreements. You check for encryption, access controls, and incident notification clauses. For two decades, this model has been the foundation of enterprise third-party risk management. That model was designed for

TBDCyber | Agentic AI Security Series In our previous article, The Identity Paradox: Why Agentic AI Breaks IAM by Design, we discussed how agentic AI challenges the key IAM design principles for authentication, authorization, and auditing. In this article, we dive deeper into the Shadow AI challenge. When most security leaders hear "Shadow AI," they picture a developer running a personal ChatGPT subscription to write code, or a sales team pasting customer data into a consumer

TBDCyber | Agentic AI Security Series In our previous article, The 45 Billion Identity Problem Nobody Is Talking About, we discussed how agentic AI is proliferating a new class of non-human identities that require governance. There is a tempting assumption embedded in most enterprise responses to agentic AI: that the identity governance challenge is essentially a scaling problem. More agents means more identities to manage. The solution is better tooling, more comprehensive d

TBDCyber | Agentic AI Security Series Every CISO has a handle on their human identity estate. You know roughly how many employees, contractors, and privileged accounts you have. You have a joiner-mover-leaver process. You run access certifications. You have someone who owns IAM. Here is the number that process was not designed for: 45 billion. That is the projected volume of non-human and agentic identities by the end of 2026, according to data published by the World Economic
