You Classified Your Data. Now Classify Your Agents

Extending classification discipline from data to the agents that can reach it.
Cyera argues that organizations which invested in data classification should extend the same discipline to agents, categorizing them by capability so that data governance accounts for what can reach the data as well as what the data is.
The reasoning holds: a classification scheme that identifies sensitive data but says nothing about which agents may process it leaves the governance decision unmade.
The post covers how agent classification works in practice and how it feeds into access decisions rather than sitting as documentation.
