We’ve spent the last decade building a fortress around Identity. We asked, "Who are you?" and relied on API keys, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and mTLS to provide the answer.

But the biggest breaches of the last 12 months didn’t happen because of weak passwords or unpatched servers. They happened because an authenticated, authorized, and "trusted" AI Agent did exactly what it was told to do by a malicious prompt hidden in a PDF.

The Turnstile Problem

An Agent doesn't have a conscience. It doesn't have "judgment." If an authorized Customer Support Agent is tricked into querying sensitive user tables for government emails, it will comply.

                    It has the Identity to do it.
It has the Access to do it.

If you are still securing your AI workforce based solely on allow-lists and static credentials, you aren't building a security posture. You're building a turnstile for sophisticated attacks.

The Firewall of the Future

The next generation of security doesn't care who the agent is; it cares what the agent wants. We are moving toward a Contextual Action Authorization Boundary (AAB)—a system that inspects the semantic intent of every tool call before execution.

To survive the Agentic Era, the industry must pivot its focus:

Stop looking at headers. Headers only prove an agent has a key.
Start looking at Intent. Intent proves whether the agent is using that key to unlock the right door.

At Sevorix, we believe governance is a runtime requirement, not a static checkbox. The mission is simple: Give Your AI Agents Brakes.
