CISOs Race to Control AI Agents Without Destroying Their Value

Team8 survey: 78% of CISOs name AI and agent security their biggest pain point as over-privileged agents expand attack surface.

Team8's annual CISO Village survey reports that 78% of security leaders cite AI and agent security as their biggest pain point, twice the second-ranked concern (39%), while 71% are experimenting with or augmenting security tools using AI agents. Team8 CISO Tim Brown warns that employee-built agents created with tools like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex can take unintended harmful actions, such as poking around production systems, because prompt imprecision combines with non-deterministic model behavior. Brown recommends building guardrails into the agent development process to limit where agents can go and what they can do, without destroying business utility. He also urges greater transparency and experience sharing among security leaders facing the same agent security problems.
