OpenAI’s Agent Findings: Why AI Guardrails Need Data Boundaries
OpenAI's latest agent findings reveal why guardrails alone aren't enough — enterprises need data boundaries, scoped credentials, and audit trails.

Why it matters
As agents move into production, security isn't just about what they can say — it's about what they can access. OpenAI's findings highlight a critical gap: agents need infrastructure-level controls (credentials, per-request auth, audit logs) alongside model-level guardrails to operate safely at scale.
