An AI assistant answers questions. An AI agent takes actions: it sends the email, moves the file, updates the record. That makes it useful, and it makes it something to secure.
An agent needs the same care as a person with that access: an owner, limits sized to its job, a record of what it does and a fast way to switch it off. Agents can also be tricked by instructions hidden in the content they read.
