About this tag
The zero trust tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's evolving zero trust framework, including Entra Private Access, the Zero Trust Assessment with new AI and DevSecOps pillars, and partner security measures like GDAP. Discussions emphasize that zero trust, while essential, cannot alone contain AI-driven attacks, as seen in analyses of incidents involving OpenAI, Hugging Face, and Anthropic. Practical guidance includes keeping AI agents read-only until approvals and rollback exist, and extending identity verification to devices like MFPs. The tag reflects a focus on Microsoft 365, Azure, and enterprise security architecture, with recurring themes of least privilege, continuous verification, and adapting zero trust to AI-era threats.

    Keep AI Agents Read-Only Until Approval, Audit and Rollback Exist

    Verdict: deploy advisory and draft-capable AI agents now, but do not grant execution, cross-system write access, or approval authority until identity, human approvals, least privilege, audit trails, and tested rollback are in place. The enterprise choice is no longer “use agents or wait”; it is...
