Commit’s VP of Cybersecurity, Dima Tatur, highlights a critical new frontier in enterprise security: the rise of autonomous AI agents. Unlike traditional assistants, today’s AI agents actively participate in meetings, access organizational data, create tasks, and collaborate with other agents—often without explicit authorization. Enabled by emerging frameworks such as Anthropic’s MCP and Google’s A2A Protocol, these agents can seamlessly coordinate cross-organizational actions, but with minimal visibility or control. The growing concern, Tatur explains, is that while executives remain unaware of the agents operating within their systems, cyber attackers are already exploiting these blind spots. The risks include leaked source code, compromised customer data, financial fraud, and breaches that are extremely difficult to detect or trace. Tatur cautions that the solution is not to halt innovation but to manage it responsibly: organizations must identify all active agents, tightly regulate their permissions, and continuously monitor their behavior. As he warns, the “Wild West” of AI will not last forever—those who establish governance and control today will define the secure digital landscape of tomorrow.
