Relyance AI warns of AI agent privilege risks, expands data-centric security

Relyance AI warned that AI agents introduce a new class of security risk centered on privilege management.Unlike static API keys and role-based permissions, AI agents dynamically decide which tools to invoke and which data sources to access, making permission boundaries fluid and harder to predict.The company is expanding its data-centric security approach that tracks data flows rather than designing policies around applications or user roles, aiming to ensure every AI agent data access meets compliance requirements.
