Why Your AI Agent May Be Your Biggest Cyber Risk
When it’s time to retire your old artificial intelligence agents, what is your process? If you realized you don’t have one, the good news is you’re far from alone. But the bad news is your organization may be vulnerable to an under the radar threat.
In its recently published Autonomous but Not Controlled: AI Agent Incidents Now Common in Enterprises, the Cloud Security Alliance says the majority of organizations have no strategy built around decommissioning AI agents. The CSA report warned that these “shadow AI” retain credentials, permissions, and other sensitive information that could result in unintended leaks or breaches.
According to the report, 65% of organizations have experienced at least one cybersecurity incident which occurred because of the use of AI agents, causing data exposure (61%), operational disruption (43%), or unintended actions in business processes (41%).
More than 80% of respondents said they have discovered previously unknown agents in the past year – most commonly in internal automation environments and large language model (LLM) platforms. Considering these platforms are gaining use in corporate culture, this is a potential cyberthreat that all organizations need to create a response to, before that shadow AI is discovered by cyber criminals.
