Why it matters
Agentic AI workflows extend security exposure across persistent memory, delegated privileges, and tool execution, requiring controls beyond model input and output filtering.
Fortinet’s agentic AI security glossary explains risks including memory poisoning, tool misuse, privilege compromise, and malicious instructions cascading from compromised orchestrators to sub-agents. The reference recommends defense-in-depth through least-privilege access, runtime guardrails, memory protection, tool-call auditing, and continuous monitoring.
