    Agentic AI systems are increasingly integrated into mission-critical enviro= nments, automating complex tasks and supporting operational goals. However,=

    The guidance [ https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/careful-adop= tion-agentic-ai-services ] provides actionable recommendations to help orga= nizations anticipate, assess, and mitigate agentic AI-specific risks. These=
    recommendations include:


    * Aligning agentic AI risk management with existing cybersecurity framewo= rks and risk posture.
    Limiting agent autonomy by ensuring agents are not granted broad or unrestr= icted access=E2=80=94especially to sensitive data or critical systems.=20
    * Implementing layered defense strategies, strong identity management, an=
    d robust oversight mechanisms.=20
    * Conducting comprehensive threat modeling, continuous monitoring, and re= gular security assessments to defend against evolving threats.=20
