Overcoming blind spots The ability for AI agents to observe all relevant data, agent actions and system states in real time – with few blind spots – is a baseline requirement, Abraham continues. This includes transparency to correlate signals across domains such as identity, endpoint, network, cloud and SaaS. “AI agents require zero blind spot visibility in order to detect lateral movement, privilege es...
