Cryptographer Matthew Green: Containers Won't Solve Agent Security
matthew_d_green · x · 2026-09-28
Matthew Green argues the security community overemphasizes containers and sandboxes — they're just one layer. Any agent with information access (without which agents are barely useful) faces one of the hardest problems: managing and surveilling data flowing across boundaries controlled by an intelligent agent. "Solving" agent security means addressing the data flows themselves, and there are no good answers yet.
