one. Using the wrong tool for the job, or deploying it without clear oversight, can lead to inefficiencies, blind spots and a false sense of control.
What does the future of Agentic AI and security look like to you in an ideal world?
Organisations need to move deliberately: first by understanding what an AI tool is designed to do, what systems it can access, and what could go wrong if it misbehaves or is manipulated.
That awareness needs to extend to users too – because even the best tools can be misused if people don’ t know how to interact with them safely. Just as important is monitoring how the AI behaves – using real-time monitoring and regular audits to catch issues before they cause real damage.
In an ideal future, agentic AI seamlessly augments human capabilities without compromising security or privacy. AI agents will operate transparently, with a clear understanding of their scope – escalating when uncertain, explaining their reasoning when asked, and deferring to human judgment where needed. Regulatory frameworks will balance innovation with protection, providing clear guardrails for ethical use. In this world, agentic AI becomes not a liability or a black box, but a secure extension of the user’ s intent – trusted not because it asks for trust, but because it earns it. p
