Michael Leland, VP, Field CTO at Island, examines the critical security challenges emerging as artificial intelligence evolves from generative to agentic capabilities. As AI agents increasingly automate workflows and handle sensitive enterprise data, organizations face new risks around data movement and governance. Leland explores how enterprise browser architecture addresses these challenges by establishing application boundaries and enforcing consistent guard rails for both human users and AI agents. He discusses the growing problem of shadow AI and introduces approaches to visibility, observability, and control that help organizations protect corporate data while maintaining productivity gains.
