A good framework on how to think about security when deploying AI agents.

> Treat AI agents as insider threats

[David Cox](https://mitibmwatsonailab.mit.edu/people/david-cox/?ref=kudithipudi.org) mentioned this during a recent [conversation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S%5FaOpLcvvNI&t=17s&ref=kudithipudi.org) with Grant Harvey and Corey Noles on the Neuron podcast. Very simple, but very elegant. Once you frame agents this way, familiar tools – **least privilege**, **role-based access**, **audit logs** – suddenly apply cleanly. The attack surface shrinks not because agents are safer, but because their *blast radius* is smaller.
