Direct answers to the questions teams hit putting AI agents into production: what the terms mean, how the pieces differ, and where the risk actually sits.
By entry type
Agents gain capabilities through MCP servers, skills, plugins, extensions, packages and SaaS connectors. Each behaves differently at install, at execution and at review. Here's the taxonomy, and why allow-listing alone doesn't govern it.
How organizations attribute, predict, and control what autonomous agents spend — and why cost and security are the same instrumentation problem.
What actually turns a model into an agent — and why security controls have to target that layer, not the model itself.
Where hooks sit in an agent's execution, what they can and can't protect against, and how they compare across major platforms.
An AI agent audit trail is a durable record of what an agent did, under whose credentials, and in what context. Here's why agent logs are weaker evidence than most teams assume, what immutability actually means, and what auditors ask for.
The continuous practice of connecting what an agent is configured to do, what it can actually reach, and what it's actually doing — and how that differs from identity governance and point-in-time AI-SPM scans.
Exactly what EDR covers for AI agents, what it structurally can't, and where agent security sits alongside the controls already deployed.
What AIDR means, how it differs from AI-SPM and guardrails, and the question that separates real AIDR from monitoring with a new name.
An MCP gateway sits between agents and MCP servers, applying policy to the traffic that passes through it. Here's what that covers well, the tool types it structurally cannot see, and the architectural question worth asking before you rely on one.
MCP servers and agent skills solve different problems and are often confused as competing standards. Here's the actual architectural difference, and the security distinction most comparisons miss.
What shadow AI is, how it differs from agent sprawl, why surveys and gateways miss it, and how detection actually works.
