AI Agents Are Changing the Access-Control Question

AI agents are moving beyond simple chat interfaces. They can increasingly act inside browsers, SaaS platforms and business applications, sometimes using the same permissions as the users they support.

That raises a practical question:
who decides what an approved AI tool or agent is allowed to access?

Recent guidance from ENISA and Traficom has already raised concerns about increasingly autonomous AI agents, excessive permissions and new attack surfaces. Real-world incidents have made those risks much harder to treat as theoretical.

From AI Governance to Practical Access Control

AI governance can define which tools are approved and how they should be used. But organizations still need to decide what those tools are actually allowed to reach.

The challenge is not always unauthorized AI. An approved AI tool can still have broader access than intended.

This becomes especially important when agents operate with existing user permissions and can interact with sensitive files, applications and workflows.

What You’ll Learn

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • How Shadow AI, autonomous agents and excessive permissions can expose sensitive data
  • Why approving an AI tool is not the same as controlling what it can access
  • What recent incidents tell us about autonomy, credentials and access
  • Where existing controls fit – and the question none of them were designed to answer
  • A practical framework for setting boundaries around sensitive files and applications

Who Should Watch

This webinar is designed for professionals responsible for AI governance, data protection and access control, including:

  • Data Protection Officers
  • Compliance Managers
  • CISOs and security leaders
  • IT Managers
  • AI governance and risk professionals

It will be particularly relevant to organizations handling personal, financial, health or other sensitive business data.

Watch Webinar: AI Agents & Sensitive Data – Rethinking Access Control

The session includes a practical example of application-level access control and shows how organizations can move from policy to enforceable access boundaries.

Portrait of Aleksei Boltunov, COO of Jetico and contributing writer for the Jetico blog

Alexey Boltunov

Alexey has been with Jetico since 2013, starting in technical support before moving through a series of technical and leadership roles. His background spans software quality assurance, usability, customer success and product strategy, giving him a practical view of how security controls need to work in real environments – not just on paper.

Today, Alexey works closely with Jetico’s engineering and commercial teams on data protection, access control and emerging security challenges. His current focus includes how increasingly autonomous and over-permissioned AI tools can interact with sensitive data, and how organizations can put practical boundaries around what applications and processes are allowed to access.
