Right now, most teams are still trying to get their arms around the basics. In Latio’s latest Cloud Security Market Report, 65% of respondents said AI posture management is a top priority. That tells you one thing clearly: organizations want visibility into where AI is showing up, what models are in use and how these systems are connecting into real environments.
But visibility is only the first chapter. They also report found 47% of respondents are also prioritizing access management. That matters because AI agents do more than sit in dashboards. They can call APIs, chain tools together, retrieve data and take action across systems.
There’s also a business reality underneath all of this. More than 65% of teams expect cloud security budgets to stay flat or decrease. So this is not about buying more tools. It’s about using smarter controls, reducing unnecessary standing access and bringing accountability to how agents operate.
In this session, James Berthoty of Latio and Shashwat Sehgal of P0 Security start with a clear working definition of an AI agent, separate hype from reality and show where traditional IAM models start to strain. Then, then get practical about authorization: how to decide what an agent should be allowed to do, in what context and for how long.
