Know What Your Agents Can Reach. Trust What They Do.

AI agents are already inside your business, reading files, calling APIs, and moving data faster than anyone can track. Some are sanctioned. Many aren’t, and the ones with the widest access are often the ones nobody has looked at closely. Whether you’re chasing shadow AI, locking down developer tools, or proving governance to an auditor, the risk starts with the same question: what sensitive data can each agent actually touch?

This guide walks through the five places agent risk shows up first, and how Cyera Agent Guardian addresses each by starting with the data and the identity behind every agent. You’ll see how teams discover every agent, sanctioned or shadow, map exactly what they can reach, and stop out-of-policy actions in real time, with an audit trail that holds up to a regulator.
