🤖 Your “helpful AI agent” is just a privileged integration… that never sleeps.
This week’s vibe shift:
Vendors are racing to standardize agent-to-app access (Okta’s Cross-App Access / XAA).
We now have a mainstream example of AI-orchestrated espionage (Anthropic’s GTG-1002 report).
And the USG is literally dialing back standardized attestation language (OMB M-26-05 rescinds earlier memos).
So here’s the uncomfortable forecast question: by end-2026, does someone finally treat agents/connectors like regulated C2 and force default-on controls—signed/attested connectors + audit-grade agent logs—because an agent-led intrusion becomes the cautionary tale everyone cites?
If your SIEM can’t answer “what did the agent do, to what, and when?”… are you deploying automation or un-audited privilege?
What would you mandate tomorrow: signature gates, 90-day action logs, or a hard kill-switch revocation model?
