Why it matters
Agent sprawl without unique identities or centralized registries leaves defenders unable to track or oversee autonomous AI agents, expanding the enterprise attack surface.
Gartner senior director analyst Yogesh Bhatt argues in an interview that enterprise deployment of AI agents across multiple platforms is outpacing governance, creating an inventory and tracking problem. He recommends central agent registries, unique agent identities, and continuous evaluation, and says governance should be built into AI initiatives from the start rather than added as an afterthought.
