Agentic AI shifts systems from generating information to executing workflows. Its practical value depends on bounded authority, redesigned processes and risk-based human oversight.
Perspective/Product//10 min read
Cybersecurity risk is shaped by product decisions about data, access and integrations. Product managers need to build security into design and prioritisation, not defer it to launch.
