Turn the Lights On Before You Start Blocking

Agentic AI is becoming a rapidly adopted control plane, creating an urgent need for security teams to understand how autonomous agents interact with systems, permissions, and APIs before enforcing restrictive policies. Drawing parallels with the rollout of intrusion prevention systems and web application firewalls, the text argues that organizations should begin in monitoring mode to establish a baseline of normal behavior, identify false positives, and tune controls before blocking actions. Ory Agent Security is presented as a tool operating at the agent harness layer, where it can observe every agent action and system interaction and eventually prevent actions before execution. The recommended approach is to maintain continuous visibility, build policies from observed behavior rather than generic templates, and accelerate the assessment process without eliminating it as agent workflows evolve.
