Organizations are moving quickly to embrace agentic AI for a myriad of use cases. Agentic AI, however, introduces cybersecurity challenges that traditional security frameworks and approaches can’t adequately address. Agentic technologies shift cybersecurity paradigms by promoting emergent behaviors to meet objectives, making it essential for security leaders to control intent at scale. As these technologies spread across organizations, establishing enterprise guardrails is critical for secure deployment.This webinar explores the unique cybersecurity challenges posed by agentic AI and strategies to effectively address them. The session will introduce Forrester’s AEGIS Framework, a comprehensive security model based on six domains: governance, identity and access management, data security, application security, threat management, and Zero Trust architecture principles. Attendees will learn best practices for securing agentic AI, emphasizing phased processes, human oversight, “least agency” principles, and dynamic security adjustments as AI systems evolve.Key takeaways: Why securing agentic AI is a challenge security teams must address nowHow the AEGIS framework helps security leaders secure agentic AIWhy intent is as important as outcomesWhat the core principles of securing agentic AI areHow to implement and mature AEGIS in a phased approachTarget audience level: intermediate
