How asset intelligence gives security teams control over AI agents
AI agents are invisible to legacy security. Here's how to map them.
Why it matters
As enterprises deploy autonomous agents across workflows, traditional asset intelligence breaks down. Security teams need new practices to track agent identities, access, and behavior drift — or risk uncontrolled autonomous systems in production.
The key facts
10 to knowAI agents carry identities and touch multiple systems
Agent behavior changes based on access granted
Asset intelligence (device/identity/application mapping) is becoming critical for agent governance

Publisher excerpt: Security teams have spent decades trying to answer a hard question: what’s actually running in our environment? AI agents have made that question harder — they carry identities, touch multiple systems and change behavior based on the access they’re given. That’s pushing asset intelligence, the…
