New writing is on the way.

Start here

Start with what is running today. Book an Agent Access Review.

Two weeks, from read-only exports, with nothing installed. You get an inventory of your agents, a map of what each can reach and under whose authority, and a plan your people own.

One person approves one agent. The agent starts sub-agents that fade from view, and the trail ends in a question mark: nobody can say how many there are or who owns them.?

And the questions that follow

  1. 01How many changes can one agent, and the sub-agents it starts, make in our systems?
  2. 02When we revoke a person’s access, do the agents acting for them lose it at the same moment?
  3. 03If an agent is compromised, what did it do, and under whose authority?
  4. 04When did an agent first reach sensitive data, and whose grant let it?
