Summary

Explains why AI agents perform well in demo environments but struggle with real-world enterprise deployment, and introduces three resolution methodologies developed by Creatio.

Key Points

Key Points

Rapid specialization of security roles exacerbates 'context absence' where team members do not understand the overall risk picture.
Security decisions tend to be product/trend-centric rather than organizational risk-based, turning security into 'buying' rather than 'designing'.
Failure to identify 'normal states' in one's environment delays or fails anomaly detection and incident response.
Effective security programs must approach in the order of business mission → core assets → risk; without this context, they will always lag behind attackers.
While specialization is necessary, specialized capabilities eventually hit limits without end-to-end visibility through shared foundational knowledge.

Revenium Unveils Tool Registry to Expose the True Cost of AI Agents
