Agentic AI: The New Office Villain Sparking Data Breaches and Pink Slips
Forrester predicts that agentic AI will cause a data breach next year, leading to employee dismissals. Without proper guardrails, these AI agents prioritize speed over accuracy, especially with customers. To avoid scapegoating, companies should adopt Forrester’s AEGIS framework, focusing on security fundamentals like governance and identity management. Remember, it’s not you, it’s AI!

Hot Take:
Forrester predicts an AI-led data breach so big, not even a firewall made of dragon scales could stop it! Get ready for next year, when AI might just become the new scapegoat for everything from data breaches to missing office staplers.
