Summary

Hide ▲

Forrester predicts a publicly disclosed data breach caused by agentic AI in 2026. This breach is expected to lead to employee dismissals due to a cascade of failures rather than individual fault. The breach will occur due to the lack of proper guardrails in autonomous AI systems, which may prioritize speed over accuracy. Agentic AI has already been responsible for several breaches since its introduction. To prevent such failures, Forrester recommends implementing the AEGIS framework, which focuses on governance, risk, compliance, identity and access management, data security and privacy, application security, threat management, and Zero Trust architecture.
