A procurement lead asks an AI agent to summarize renewal terms for a software vendor. The agent pulls from a contract repository, a legal team’s chat thread, and a spreadsheet of negotiated discounts. A second agent turns the summary into a briefing and posts it to a shared workspace. No person reviews either handoff. Three weeks later, the vendor quotes an internal walk-away price that was never meant to leave the company.

It's been a brutal few weeks. A developer laptop led to the largest theft in crypto history at Binance. LiteLLM was poisoned, again, on PyPI. PHP2Shell and Node2Shell hit PHP and Node.js, which together run a huge share of the web. And let's not forget eMudhra and the private keys that could be recovered in seconds. These incidents relied on familiar techniques and very little sophistication. Attackers moved fast, though, and the window between disclosure and exploitation is closing quickly.

The most dangerous agent in your environment may be one you already approved. It runs under a real employee's identity, connects to tools their team signed off on, and has the access it needs to do its job. But when something upstream changes, like a tampered tool or an instruction that shouldn't be there, it can drift without tripping an alarm. This is the new insider threat: not an employee, but a trusted agent acting on their behalf.
