💡Agentic AI's Identity Crisis
Agentic AI — autonomous 🤖 agents that can perceive, decide, and act — are entering business workflows fast. But as these non-human “digital workers” multiply, identity has become the hidden challenge.
Most enterprises haven’t extended authentication and access controls to these agents, creating ungoverned digital personas operating at machine speed: a serious security risk.
This article explores why identity is the new frontier of AI security, and how cybersecurity leaders can govern agentic AI safely through strong authentication, lifecycle management, and accountability.

Cyber Security Awareness Month 2025
The event was buzzing with energy: interactive challenges, live demos, and conversations that turned complex topics into practical, actionable insights. Read More…
💡 Quantum Computing and the Future of Encryption
Quantum computing promises breakthroughs in science, medicine, and technology — but it also poses one of the biggest challenges yet to our digital security.
This article explores why organisations should be preparing now for a post-quantum world — not out of panic, but prudence.
Because when the flood comes, you don’t want to be halfway across the bridge.
- 🔒 What happens when quantum computers can break today’s encryption?
- 🧭 Why “harvest now, decrypt later” makes this a present-day risk?
- 🛠️ And how can organisations start planning for the transition?
Cyber Awareness Month 2025
During the session, we covered a wide range of tips applicable to both work and home environments. From utilising auto-updates for all devices, (including robot vacuums!), to segmenting home Wi-Fi networks. We emphasised the importance of proactive security measures in the era of AI. Particularly, we discussed safeguarding children and older family members online.
We wrapped up by asking: “What’s one thing you’d recommend to others to stay secure?” Here are some key takeaways from the discussion:
- ✨ Enhance security by enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and transitioning to passwordless solutions.
- 🔑 Simplify password management with tools like 1Password, Microsoft Wallet, Google Password Manager and iCloud Passwords to handle complex and unique passwords effortlessly.
- 🔍 Stay vigilant by checking for data breaches using Have I Been Pwned and promptly updating compromised passwords.
- 🤔 Exercise caution before clicking on links and maintain awareness of your online activities to protect your digital footprint.
It's truly commendable to witness our AMP team's commitment to cybersecurity awareness and proactive measures.
