Simulators don’t just teach pilots how to fly the plane; they also teach judgment. When do you escalate? When do you hand off to air traffic control? When do you abort the mission? These are human decisions, trained under pressure, and just as critical as the technical flying itself. The post A Guide to Agentic AI Risks in 2026 appeared first on Strata.io.

Agentic AI introduces a new class of security risks that traditional IAM tools weren't designed to handle. Key threats include unmanaged agent identities, privilege escalation from over-permissioned agents, prompt injection attacks, lack of auditability across multi-agent workflows, insecure agent-to-agent communication, and shadow AI proliferation. Existing human-centric identity frameworks struggle with ephemeral agents, MCP-layer authorization, and end-to-end traceability. The post advocates for task-scoped short-lived tokens, fine-grained least-privilege policies at the API/MCP layer, full audit trails, and human-in-the-loop controls for high-risk actions — and promotes Strata's Maverics Platform as a solution.
