## AI overview

The article argues that AI security budgets should prioritize unified visibility, governance, policy enforcement, risk assessment, adversarial testing, runtime protection, and audit evidence across the full AI lifecycle. It distinguishes between securing agents that build software and agents operating in production applications.
