An agentic AI breach will cause a publicly disclosed incident and lead to employee dismissals in 2026, Forrester predicts. 79% of enterprises deploy agents but lack governance. The breach will cascade across multi-agent workflows where one error amplifies through chains. AEGIS framework covers six security domains. Agents inherit user access and accumulate privileges. 17x more is spent on AI-for-security than security-for-AI. CISOs must establish governance before deployment, enforce least-agency, red team continuously, and build real-time observability.
