AI Agents Are Privileged Users; Who Is Auditing Their Access?

Summary

Enterprises are increasingly deploying autonomous AI agents that operate with significant privileges, often mirroring or exceeding those of human employees. However, unlike human users, the access and actions of these AI agents are frequently not subjected to rigorous auditing or monitoring. This lack of oversight creates a potential blind spot, allowing these powerful agents to become a new class of insider threat if compromised or misused.
