- Citing Gartner, Monique Morrow notes 75% of organizations have seen unauthorized use of AI coding assistants — the riskiest AI agents may be the ones security teams don't know exist.
- Accompanying Gartner chart maps AI agent risk along autonomy (embedded → multiagent) and data sensitivity; goal-driven and multiagent systems handling sensitive data fall in the high-risk zone.
- Recommendation: prioritize risk reduction for high-autonomy agents with access to sensitive data.
