Zero Trust for AI Agents: The Security Checklist

Securing AI agents requires a different approach than securing traditional software. Non-human identities are already operating in your environment — and most organizations can't count them, govern them, or detect when they've been compromised. This checklist gives practitioners a tiered, actionable framework for getting ahead of the problem: from building the agent inventory and enforcing least privilege, to deploying Zero Trust architecture, to baselining behavior and defining incident response before an incident forces the issue.
