Execution Runtime Security in the Era of Agentic AI
September 21, 2026 · Broadcom (Symantec) · Severity: MEDIUM
The death of blocklisting and resurrection of positive controls.
Key Takeaways
- The era of agentic AI demands a shift from blocklist-based runtime security to positive controls that explicitly allow only trusted behaviors.
- Traditional blocklisting approaches are ineffective against AI-driven execution patterns that generate novel and unpredictable code paths.
- Security teams must adopt execution runtime controls that validate and constrain what AI agents are permitted to do at runtime.
