Radio With No Radar: Why Agent Runtime Security Fails Without the Layers Beneath It

An article examines limitations in agent runtime security, noting that many enterprise security tools only protect artificial intelligence (AI) agents whose traffic passes through company-controlled gateways. The piece illustrates the gap with a case study of an employee using an AI assistant to trigger mass-email automation, highlighting the vulnerability of agents operating outside monitored infrastructure.

Why it matters: Security teams relying solely on runtime protection for AI agents face blind spots when agents operate outside gateway-monitored paths; practitioners need defense-in-depth across all layers where AI agents execute to prevent unauthorized actions.
