The Security Gap in Agentic Workflows

The move toward autonomous agents changes the threat model for execution environments. When models are tasked with browser automation or remote code execution, they operate in high-stakes environments where a single sandbox escape can compromise an entire system. Relying on lightweight, shared sandboxes creates a fundamental tension between agentic capability and infrastructure security.

Solving this requires a shift toward infrastructure that treats isolation as a first-class citizen. For workloads involving remote code execution or browser automation, the standard is moving toward strong VM-level boundaries and sovereign deployment options. This enables the scale required for agentic workflows while maintaining the strict control necessary for environments that cannot tolerate the risks of shared sandboxes.
