Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. Many homes need fences, just as many organizations need a cybersecurity perimeter\u2014but agentic AI, combined with some other big trends, could make it harder than ever to defend those edges.According to CrowdStrike\u2019s CTO of the Americas Cristian Rodriguez, perimeter-based cybersecurity has dealt with the rise of remote work and cloud applications. Now agentic AI could flood organizations with a host of synthetic identities and automated, unsupervised workflows, making it easier than ever for attackers to bypass traditional defenses.\u201cThe new perimeter is wherever the user is going, it\u2019s on the endpoint itself,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cIt\u2019s the identity that\u2019s authentic, authenticating against the endpoint itself, but then also the identity that\u2019s authorized to access any of the services that you are publishing for your employees.\u201dSo, it\u2019s an identity thing? Agents have accelerated the breakdown of perimeters because of their ability to make decisions across systems in ways that don\u2019t cleanly map to traditional network edges, Human Security CISO Gavin Reid told IT Brew.\u201cThe change in this that agentic has played into it is that it\u2019s no longer just a person reaching out and doing that, it could be an agent,\u201d Reid said. \u201cIf they don\u2019t have the visibility to understand that and treat these connections very differently, which\u2026that\u2019s where we\u2019re at today, a lot of these back-end infrastructure do not, they treat them all just like they were a user reaching out, and they have no visibility into the difference between those.\u201dSecurity, for a new perimeter. Johnny Ayers, founder and CEO at Socure, an AI-driven platform for identity verification, said that the biggest thing for IT pros to consider with a new perimeter is trust in the foundational framework. How do you establish a framework that enables agents to safely carry out their tasks within the organization, especially as new tools are continually brought online? Compounding the risk: Employees can fall into the habit of granting access to whoever asks, even if it\u2019s an AI agent.\u201cAgents can still obviously go rogue on their own; really thinking through the external perimeter and are all of the employees that you are bringing into your organization [are] who they actually claim to be,\u201d Ayers said. \u201cImagine the environment where you bring in an external bad actor that then has access to these tools and systems.\u201dTop insights for IT prosFrom cybersecurity and big data to cloud computing, IT Brew covers the latest trends shaping business tech in our 4x weekly newsletter, virtual events with industry experts, and digital guides.
