Managing 70%

Imagine the CEO of a major international corporation saying to her Board of Directors, 'We are doing a great job of managing 70% of our productive capacity.' And the Board responding, 'Great job, here's your bonus.' Or another CEO who says, 'We don't need to hire managers for our regional plants, because 70% of our capacity is in the main plant anyway. Let the others do what they want.' Hard to imagine, isn't it? Of course it is, because the concept of ignoring 30% of your business' productive capacity ' leaving it to 'manage itself' or, worse, considering it unimportant ' would get you fired in any business in the world.

Agentic AI introduces risks that are novel and complex, but the most effective response is a familiar one. Zero Trust answers the problem of when an AI agent misfires on its own by constraining what an agent can do rather than betting on how it will behave.
