One bad prompt. That's all it took to expose an entire company's Salesforce data to the world.
This isn't a hypothetical, it's exactly what Jim Taylor described on stage at The AI Conference in San Francisco.
The real issue isn't AI itself. It's that every company now has an army of AI agents quietly running, connected to sensitive systems, and nobody actually knows how many there are.
Some companies discovered over 4,000 AI agents operating inside their infrastructure completely unmonitored. Think of them as employees who walked in through a side door with no badge, no contract, and no one watching what they touch.
This is what's called Shadow AI, agents operating in the dark, invisible to IT and security teams alike.
Enter RSA with a new platform called Agent ID, built specifically for regulated industries like finance, government, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.
It runs on three core modules.
First is Discover, which scans the entire enterprise to surface every agent in play, sanctioned or hidden, including the MCP servers that connect agents to each other.
Second is Secure, an inline gateway that acts like a checkpoint guard. Every time an agent tries to call a tool or take an action, it gets checked against policy in real-time before it's allowed through.
Third is Govern, which turns all that activity into audit-ready evidence mapped against 10 regulatory frameworks, so when auditors come knocking, you have documentation, not excuses.
Discover and Secure ship November 16, 2026.
Here's the part that matters most: this isn't just about blocking external hackers anymore. It's about protecting a company from agents it built itself and let run wild.
If your company is using any form of AI agents right now, the question isn't whether you have shadow agents. It's how many.
