Your Security Was Built for People, Not Machines

You’ve spent years hardening controls around human behavior. But agentic AI doesn’t behave like a human. It scales instantly, improvises around guardrails, and can expose your environment to new risks faster than traditional defenses can respond. Forrester’s 2025 AEGIS framework vision report explains why you need an identity-first approach to secure AI agents with authenticated delegation, tightly scoped access, and human‑in‑the‑loop oversight. This report breaks down the risks of AI agents and what you need to do right now to govern them.

In this report, you'll learn how to:

• Modernize IAM for AI agents: with delegated authority, contextual policies, and Zero Trust‑aligned “least agency”

• Prevent catastrophic agent behavior: from privilege escalation to resource hijacking and rogue decision loops

• Establish guardrails: with authenticated delegation, HITL controls, agent observability, and continuous risk management
