The AI Agent Nobody Owns: Watch Expert Webinar On Your Newest Insider Threat

Unmanaged artificial intelligence (AI) agents deployed locally on employee machines can access APIs, credentials, and internal systems without oversight or ownership assignment. These tools operate similarly to insider threats but are often classified as productivity solutions rather than security risks. Organizations lack visibility into agent permissions and activities across their networks.

Why it matters: Security teams must assess and govern AI agents already running in their environment to prevent credential theft, unauthorized data access, and lateral movement by employees or attackers who compromise those machines.
