You must treat AI agents as privileged code execution contexts, not just text generators, to prevent silent data exfiltration and unauthorized system changes.

NTLM relay attacks exploit legacy authentication protocols to escalate privileges without ever stealing the actual password hash from the network traffic.

Define agent security boundaries, map control points to data flows, and identify where standard application defenses fail to protect autonomous reasoning.

See past the single number to understand how environmental context changes risk, and why a high score does not always mean you must patch immediately.
