  • Engineer — Plan: Teams deploying AI agents (coding assistants, browser agents) should audit what external data sources agents consume and add output-validation gates before agents take irreversible actions like purchasing, executing shell commands, or committing code.
  • SOC/IR — Learn: Useful for understanding a new class of agent-manipulation attacks that could be used as an initial-access vector in environments with autonomous AI tooling, but no IOCs or active exploitation reported to act on now.
  • Leader — Plan: As AI agents are deployed internally, establish a policy requiring human-in-the-loop approval for high-stakes agent actions (financial transactions, code execution) before agent autonomy is expanded this quarter.
