Autonomous agents expose enterprise infrastructure built for humans

As AI agents take direct action in enterprise systems—executing trades, provisioning resources, managing workflows—they're exposing security architectures built around human behavior and audit trails. The risks are concrete: unauthorized agent-to-agent interactions, permission escalation through machine logic, and forensic gaps when decisions happen faster than human review. Infrastructure teams are retrofitting systems never designed for autonomous actors. Zero-trust redesigns already behind schedule are now urgent, and vendors are positioning agent-native governance layers as table stakes.
