Agentic AI Does Not Mean Abandoning Zero Trust
Security Boulevard, Tuesday, May 26th, 2026
For the last several years, security leaders have wrestled with a difficult question: how do you embrace AI-driven progress without creating massive new security risks?
As one of the founding fathers of zero trust, Dr. Chase Cunningham delivers an important answer that he shares in his new research paper, Agentic Zero Trust: Extending the Zero Trust Security Paradigm to Autonomous AI Systems. Enterprises do not need to abandon Zero Trust principles to adopt agentic AI.
In fact, Cunningham argues the opposite: zero trust becomes even more important once autonomous AI agents enter the enterprise.
