An Intuitive Guide on Agentic AI Security Threats-Part 1

Everything You Need to Know About Key Security Threats in AI Agents

AI agents are autonomous systems that can reason about what needs to be done to accomplish a task, plan all the necessary steps that must be executed to complete the task, and take action accordingly. Once the task is finished, AI agents can learn and adapt from their experience. They automate essential but mundane and repetitive tasks, disrupting the way organizations function and reshaping how we fundamentally operate. AI agents are even beginning to emerge as remarkably compassionate therapists (which comes with its own set of pros and cons).

AI agents can monitor inventory levels 24/7, using real time data such as current stock levels, order already placed with vendors, historic lead times from vendors, current and predicted weather patterns, and the changing market conditions to trigger timely stock alerts. This transforms inventory management from a task-intensive operation to a process that is intelligent and optimized, allowing businesses to operate efficiently and respond nimbly to real-time changes.

AI agents — A quick snapshot

AI agents are artificial intelligence (AI) systems powered by large language models (LLMs) that can autonomously solve problems. Once given a task, they start by reasoning, then plan to execute it by subdividing the work into smaller, manageable subtasks. The agent then…
