SCWorld.com reported that “Enterprises are adopting AI faster than they can secure it. Every new AI tool and agent creates an identity that leaves security leaders scrambling to find out who owns what, where these identities came from, and what they are allowed to do.” The October 2, 2026 article entitled “Four ways to close the AI security gap” (https://tinyurl.com/mzy74nj) included the comments about #3 to “Understand the cloud”:
Understand the cloud: AI agents live in the cloud, and it’s where their behavior most directly touches production infrastructure. Point-in-time scans and static rules can’t catch behavior that only becomes suspicious in context. Behavioral AI extended to the cloud builds a living model of every identity — human, machine, or agent — and surfaces the moment something deviates from its established pattern. Here’s where the defender’s advantage lives: catching the chain before it completes.
Here are all 4 ways to close the AI security gap:
#1 Visibility into how employees use AI
#2 Visibility into AI agents
#3 Understand the cloud
#4 Set clear policies
Good advice, don’t you think?
