Why now
Agents are being granted highly sensitive permissions (system access, financial access) before security protocols have evolved to protect them.

Cybersecurity has not caught up to the AI agent world. Poisoning an agent's context window is the 'new phishing', but agents have autonomous power to execute bad commands.
