As businesses move quickly to adopt agentic AI, many are realizing that traditional governance and security practices are not enough. When AI agents can access data, trigger workflows, and influence business decisions, organizations need stronger controls, better visibility, and reliable recovery to stay secure and resilient.
This analyst paper explores what it takes to support AI innovation without losing control.
