Smaller agents, smaller impact: the debate on controlling what AI can do

SANS ISC diary published on October 16, 2026, made available in Portuguese through machine translation. The text is an opinion: the author states that the cybersecurity sector may be approaching AI security the wrong way, and the title suggests that agents with less autonomy and less access produce smaller impact when something goes wrong. The available excerpt does not detail methods, data or test cases, so there are no measurements to report. To check the full argument, consult the original diary on the SANS Internet Storm Center site, in the diaries section, using the title and date. Relevance for Rota Nacional users: limiting what an agent can do is an architecture decision in your application, and the platform does not guarantee it on its own. Rota detects personal data before anything reaches the models and applies your organization's policy, keeps usage metadata in the dashboard, and keeps raw content only in the audit archive encrypted with AES-256-GCM.
