Access tells you what an AI agent can do. Behavior tells you what it actually did. AI agents act with valid credentials. They read data, call tools, and chain actions at machine speed, often without a person approving each step. Every action can pass a permission check while the full sequence reaches well past the agent's purpose. In a 2026 Exabeam survey, 48% of security leaders named AI agents with excessive, compromised, or unintended access as their greatest threat. Runtime monitoring alone won't catch that. Swipe through the four-stage lifecycle that secures agents before, during, and after deployment: → Verify: Define permissions and expected actions before an agent goes live. → Observe: Capture the full chain, from prompt and tool call to approval, action, and output. → Analyze: Detect risk, drift, and misuse in context with Dynamic Risk Scoring. → Improve: Tune detections and close coverage gaps as agents and accounts change. The same model works for people and service accounts

The letter, written after predominantly Qatari mediation, was sent to the secretary of Iran’s supreme national security council, Mohsen Rezaei on Sunday. It requires Tehran to agree to make commitments on its nuclear programme at the start of a process that would lead to the opening of the strait of Hormuz within seven days in return for US sanctions relief.
