AI Agents Need Accurate Asset Data to Function Effectively

Most organisations can’t see their environment, with an estimated 40% to 50% of assets unknown or unmanaged. This lack of visibility makes it difficult to implement AI initiatives, as AI agents act on the data they’re given and can be confidently wrong without context. The problem is exacerbated by the increasing use of AI services, which can be accessed by employees in seconds and may send corporate data to external AI models.

AI agents are a new asset class that need tracking, and finding them is the first step. Next, you need to know what they touch and what they’re allowed to do, including which cloud applications they can reach and what permissions they hold.

Asset intelligence platforms, such as Axonius, can consolidate and correlate data from existing tools to provide a trusted picture of the environment, which is essential for AI initiatives to function effectively.
