One of the important components for these agents is to ensure that the logs are managed and historic relevance is not being used to avoid skewing towards same decision making. Thus, the system is expected to keep checkpoints in place where agents are prompted to delete such historic relevance.\n\nReporting also notes that however, despite such methodology in place, a future prompt could make the agents bring forward the information that was supposed to be deleted and can be tricked into revealing more information, which is a classic case of context recovery attack. So, the question raised here is: How can we trust that our instructions have been followed? And where is the proof? There is an element of utilizing zero-trust architectures (ZTA) for orchestrating and managing agentic activity, which simply means all agentic interactions use the core principle of “never trust,” “always verify.” ZTA components include a policy enforcement point (PEP) that has to be trusted to maintain trust across the system, so the question that remains is where is the component of zero-trust, and shall we trust the policies enforced by PEP?\n\nPoints still worth watching: Having a pro-agentic approach and utilizing agents could be helpful with the right guardrails in place. Opening our systems to random agents that are being trained on off-the-shelf models and blindly relying on them can pose significant cyber risks. For example, vibe coding by using an AI model to help develop software, giving away the entire codebase to an untrusted entity outside the organization can lead to vulnerability sweeping across multiple surfaces.
