How GitHub Is Securing Agentic Workflows in Modern CI CD Systems
GitHub just shipped security guardrails for AI agents in CI/CD. Here's what that means for your pipeline.

Why it matters
GitHub is operationalizing agentic AI in production workflows by addressing the security gap—sandboxing, permission controls, and audit trails that make autonomous agents safe enough for enterprise deployment. This signals the shift from agent demos to agent infrastructure.
