Security in the Age of AI Agents

Security in the Age of AI Agents is the essential guide for every leader and practitioner navigating the new realities of artificial intelligence.Whether you're a CISO trying to secure systems you didn't build, a security engineer whose tools don't cover AI attack surfaces, an IT director justifying security budgets to a board that sees only opportunity, or a CEO who signed off on an AI deployment without fully understanding the access it was granted-this book was written for you.AI security is no longer a technical problem you can hand off to the security team. It is an organizational discipline that touches every person who uses an AI tool, approves an AI system, or leads a team that does either. The organizations that get this right treat security as a habit embedded at every level-not a constraint imposed from above.Drawing on forty years of proven security principles-compartmentalization, least privilege, defense in depth, zero trust-James Gorman shows exactly how to adapt these timeless ideas to autonomous AI agents that act at machine speed, around the clock, with access to your most sensitive data and systems.Organized in four parts, the book moves from foundational principles to today's real threat landscape, practical governance frameworks, and the human and cultural changes required to make security stick. Each chapter ends with Tactical Takeaways-concrete actions you can implement immediately.Full frameworks are available at hard2hack.com/frameworks.Build the right foundation now-before the next wave of AI arrives. Because the next forty years are going to be remarkable.Be safe. Be secure.
