The AI Velocity Paradox: Why Security Is Decades Behind AI Ambition

A report from SailPoint identifies a mismatch between the rapid deployment of autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents in enterprises and the slower, legacy security controls designed to manage them. Organizations are advancing AI capabilities while maintaining identity and access management systems built for human-paced operations, creating a gap between business velocity and security capability.

Why it matters: Security practitioners need to assess whether identity and access controls can adequately govern AI agents at deployment speed; legacy systems may create blind spots in agent activity and privilege management.
