AI Agents Revolutionize Work But Introduce Major Security Risks, New Guide Reveals

AI agents are revolutionizing workplace productivity by autonomously handling complex tasks, but a new guide from Wiz warns that their rapid adoption introduces serious security vulnerabilities across AI pipelines, models, and decision-making processes that are difficult to detect without proper understanding.

• AI agents are rapidly transforming how work gets done by taking on tasks, orchestrating tools, and driving outcomes across environments, but their growing adoption introduces significant new security challenges.
• Key security risks emerge across AI pipelines, models, and decision-making processes, and these risks are often difficult to detect without a clear understanding of how AI agents operate.
• Wiz offers a flashcard-style one-pager guide covering what defines an AI agent, where vulnerabilities arise, and practical steps teams can take to reduce exposure and secure their AI environments.
