Why it matters
Agent-mediated exfiltration can escape event-level data-loss monitoring, making cross-tool activity correlation and limits on delegated access important defensive controls.
NHI Mgmt Group's glossary describes agent-mediated exfiltration: an AI agent chaining individually permitted actions across files, applications, and tools into an unauthorized outbound transfer. The reference entry discusses detection challenges and controls, including scoped access, approval gates, and correlated workflow logging; it does not report a specific incident or new demonstration.
