Aviatrix CTO Anirban Sengupta dives into the networking and cybersecurity implications of artificial intelligence (AI) agents that could one day soon number in the millions.
In this Techstrong AI interview, Anirban Sengupta, CTO of Aviatrix, discusses the emerging challenges in networking and security that come with the rise of AI agents. These agents-autonomous programs that perceive, analyze, act, and learn-are expected to number in the millions and operate across cloud, on-prem, and edge environments.
Sengupta outlines how this proliferation will dramatically expand the network attack surface and strain infrastructure, requiring high-bandwidth, end-to-end encrypted connections and deep observability to manage the interactions and traceability of agent activities.
