CHICAGO, Oct. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ModelOp, the leader in AI lifecycle management and governance software for the enterprise, today announced the release of its new whitepaper, “The Enterprise’s Guide to Preparing for Agentic AI.” The report warns that enterprises are unprepared for the speed and autonomy of AI agents now entering production environments— and outlines a practical roadmap to achieve control before the next wave of Agentic AI reshapes business operations. Real-world examples also are included, such as Replit’s database deletion, Asana’s MCP integration leak, and Salesforce credential breaches—demonstrating how a single rogue or compromised agent can inflict massive operational and reputational harm.
“Agentic AI will not wait for enterprises to be ready,” said Pete Foley, CEO of ModelOp. “This whitepaper gives leaders a clear roadmap to prepare, protect, and scale responsibly—turning what could be catastrophic risk into a source of competitive advantage. Agentic AI can unlock true digitalization—the end-to-end automation of business processes and smarter decision-making at scale. Our research shows that the difference between innovation and disaster lies in one word: control.”
The whitepaper highlights that Agentic AI represents both the greatest opportunity and the greatest risk of the decade. Unlike traditional AI models, these systems act autonomously — making decisions, executing tasks, and directly interfacing with enterprise systems without human approval. Gartner forecasts that by 2027, half of all business decisions will be augmented or automated by AI agents, and by 2028, at least 15% of daily work decisions will be made autonomously.
Key Findings from the Report
ModelOp’s research identifies the top risks facing enterprises experimenting with autonomous agents today:
- Data Leakage: Misrouted data and unsecured Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors are already being exploited, as seen in the Salesloft–Drift–Salesforce data theft incident.
- Security Breaches: Open-source agents introduced without review can act as Trojan horses, granting attackers direct access to enterprise systems.
- Compliance Failures: Unchecked autonomous decisions can trigger violations of financial and healthcare regulations.
- Financial Exploitation: Poorly configured agents can drive runaway cloud and API costs in minutes.
A Three-Step Roadmap for Control
To help enterprises prepare, the whitepaper provides a three-step roadmap that CIOs, CAIOs, and Responsible AI leaders can implement immediately:
- Stop the Bleeding—Identify and block uncontrolled AI agent activity, including unapproved MCP traffic and rogue deployments.
- Align and Create Policy—Unite IT, security, compliance, and procurement teams around shared risk frameworks and cost controls.
- Enforce at Scale—Automate risk checks, real-time controls, and audit trails across all AI systems and agents.
