Expanding attack path management to the AI frontier
Summary
Attackers exploit relationships between systems and identities to move laterally across the attack surface and reach critical assets. The growth of AI agents and non-human identities (NHIs) in hybrid, decentralized environments has significantly expanded the trust relationships that defenders must secure.

FOE
This article discusses how attackers are expanding their methods to leverage AI agents and non-human identities, increasing the complexity and attack surface for defenders.
Defender Context
Defenders need to be aware of how attackers can leverage AI agents and non-human identities to find and exploit relationships across systems. Traditional attack path management needs to evolve to encompass these new vectors.
