AI Agents Introduce New Security Risks in Automated Workflows

Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents are described as autonomous tools capable of performing tasks such as sending emails, moving data, and managing software without direct human intervention. These agents, referred to as "AI Agents," introduce new security risks by creating potential entry points for attackers, likened to an "invisible employee" within workflows. The article highlights concerns over data leaks and unauthorized access facilitated by these agentic workflows. No specific technical details, dates, or CVE IDs are mentioned in the provided excerpt. The impact includes increased exposure to cyber threats due to the expanded attack surface of AI-driven automation. The content is part of a webinar guide focused on auditing and mitigating risks in modern AI workflows.
