Autonomous AI Agents Challenge Traditional Security Controls

Cloud Security Alliance's "Securing Autonomous AI Agents" report, published Feb. 9, 2026, finds current security and governance approaches rely on static credentials, inconsistent controls, and limited visibility for autonomous AI agents. The report warns agents scale faster than governance frameworks as they are deployed in pilots, tests, and production, and recommends applying the same rigor and traceability used for human users to secure deployments.
