  "account": "As AI agents become more prevalent in enterprise environments, storage administrators are grappling with the need for automated guardrails. NetApp Inc., a leading storage provider, is addressing this challenge by moving away from simple yes-or-no permissions towards behavior-based policies, according to Russell Fishman, senior director of global AI solutions and field activation. Fishman explained that traditional cyber resilience tools still play a role, with NetApp's autonomous ransomware protection service using AI to detect and block attacks, and integrating with recovery workflows from Commvault Systems Inc. and Microsoft Corp.'s Sentinel and Cisco Systems Inc.'s Splunk. However, the real concern lies in agents causing unintended consequences while executing tasks. NetApp's AI Data Engine includes a behavior-based policy engine that flags unusual patterns of data use, helping organizations prevent misuse of data. With AI working at machine speed, human oversight is no longer feasible, necessitating greater automation. For NetApp customers seeking enhanced cyber resilience, the AI Data Engine can be deployed on any existing NetApp system, with a free six-month offer announced during the event.",
  "summary": "Enterprises pushing AI agents into production are finding that cyber resilience now depends as much on governing what autonomous software does with data as on keeping attackers out. Much of the risk doesn’t come from malicious intent at all; it comes from agents doing unexpected things at machine speed. That shift is pushing storage providers […] The post Storage admins get automated guardrails…",
