Agentic AI Guide

Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems with “agency”—the ability to act independently in pursuit of a goal. Unlike traditional AI tools or standard generative AI (GenAI), which respond to specific prompts, AI agents can plan their own steps, interact with other software systems, and complete projects with minimal oversight. When given a high-level objective, they determine how to accomplish it.

This guide explains how Agentic AI works, where the cybersecurity and data exposure risks arise, and what basic governance practices can help you use these tools responsibly and securely—even if you have little or no in-house technical expertise.
