Context matters when it comes to cybersecurity’s agentic operating model

Because context continuously changes, agentic security and governance controls will require access to up-to-date, contextual policy and operating guardrails.

Architectural considerations As agent architecture evolves, inter-agent communications models are becoming core to operating models.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers; Agent2Agent (A2A); Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) and other emerging mechanisms are paramount to providing access to functions and datasets.

While what’s needed to support governance and security for agentic solutions is still emerging, human-based governance and security requirements continue to evolve as the machine-human operating model also evolves.

Leading model providers increasingly acknowledge that the real breakthrough comes from the context and integration wrapped around the model.
