Why it matters
Unmanaged AI agent sprawl leaves defenders without visibility into autonomous agents' identities and actions, expanding the attack surface and complicating oversight of agentic systems in the enterprise.
Gartner senior director analyst Yogesh Bhatt argues in an interview that enterprises are deploying AI agents across multiple platforms faster than they can govern them, creating an inventory and identity problem. He recommends central agent registries, unique agent identities, and continuous evaluation as agentic systems scale.
