Agent runtime security requires layers beyond gateways
Original title: Radio With No Radar: Why Agent Runtime Security Fails Without the Layers Beneath It
AI agent runtime security fails without visibility and governance across platform boundaries, as shown by an employee approving a personal email send from an AI assistant.
Many AI agents run inside third-party platforms such as Salesforce or Microsoft 365 without passing through enterprise gateways. This creates gaps where runtime rules cannot enforce policy. An example shows an AI assistant routing mass emails from a personal account after a policy violation, with no jailbreak needed. Enforcement requires visibility into agent identity, permissions, and chains rather than a single gateway.
- Agents inside platforms send no traffic through gateways
- OWASP describes this as unreachable skill scenario
- Runtime decisions need live map of identity permissions connectivity activity
- Enforcement must be graduated and log full causal paths

Nearly every agent security pitch now ends on the same promise: the product stops the bad action in real time. The promise holds for one kind of agent, the kind whose traffic passes through a gateway the enterprise owns. Most agents never touch one.
