Everyone Is Deploying AI Agents. Almost Nobody Knows What They're Doing.
Security Bouelevard, Wednesday, March 18th, 2026
One constant I hear from CISOs I speak with is that AI agents are not coming. They are already inside organizations, reasoning through goals, selecting tools, and taking action through the same APIs that connect your most sensitive systems.
And most security teams have no idea what those agents are doing.
The problem is not just the model
The industry has fixated on prompts, jailbreaks, and LLM guardrails. Those matter. But they are only one layer of a much larger stack.
Think of an AI agent as a digital employee. The LLM is the brain, responsible for reasoning and decisions. MCP servers are the hands, connecting the agent to the services and tools it needs to operate. APIs are the action layer, the buttons and levers that allow agents to actually interact with your data, your infrastructure, and your workflows.
