This session explores the rise of autonomous AI agents as a new category of insider threat. Operating with the privileges of trusted employees but without equivalent oversight, these digital workers create blind spots when accessing sensitive data and enterprise applications. With research showing that only 30% of organizations track which AI agents access critical systems, the risk is significant. Participants will examine how extending proven workforce intelligence methodologies—such as behavioral monitoring, policy enforcement, and continuous visibility— can prevent AI agents from becoming unmonitored insider threats while maintaining operational efficiency.

In this session you will:

• Understand how autonomous AI agents introduce new insider threat risks
• Examine why limited oversight of AI agents creates blind spots in enterprise security
• Learn how workforce intelligence methodologies can extend to digital workers
• Explore behavioral monitoring, automated policy enforcement, and continuous visibility as safeguards
