IT leaders are placing faith in AI. Consider 76 percent of IT leaders believe that generative AI (GenAI) will significantly impact their organizations, with 76 percent increasing their budgets to pursue AI. But when it comes to cybersecurity, AI has become a double-edged sword. While poised to fortify the security posture of organizations, it has also changed the nature of cyberattacks.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.
