The 5 Most Dangerous AI Security Gaps You’re Probably Overlooking

AI is Changing Fast

Enterprise AI is evolving fast. And while the opportunities are massive, so are the risks—especially when it comes to agentic AI. These systems don’t just generate text; they take actions, make decisions, and can interact with real systems. That means the stakes are higher than ever.

Yet most security teams are flying blind.

They’ve locked down infrastructure, hardened APIs, and sandboxed LLMs. But there are critical gaps that traditional security tools simply aren’t built to handle.

Here are the five most dangerous AI security gaps we see over and over again:

1. Prompt Injection
Malicious actors can manipulate agent behavior by injecting crafted prompts, either in user input or embedded in external data sources. These attacks bypass traditional input validation and can redirect an agent’s objectives entirely.

2. Role Impersonation
Without proper agent-level oversight, bad actors can trick AI systems into assuming elevated permissions or roles. This isn’t just phishing for humans—it’s phishing for agents.

3. Output Leakage
Even if your data is secure, AI outputs can accidentally disclose sensitive information—PII, PHI, internal IP—without any malicious intent. These leaks are subtle, and they’re often invisible until it’s too late.

4. Goal Misalignment
Agentic systems pursue goals, but without guardrails, they can interpret those goals in unsafe or unintended ways. Misaligned goals lead to misaligned actions, which can create compliance violations or reputational damage.

5. Lack of Real-Time Oversight
Most AI security solutions operate post-mortem. They log, review, and audit—but they don’t prevent. What’s missing is runtime validation: a layer that inspects every input and output in real time and enforces enterprise policies on the fly.

What You Can Do About It

Aiceberg’s Guardian Agent was built specifically to address these risks. It integrates in minutes and acts as a control layer for all AI-powered apps and agents. Instead of playing catch-up after an incident, you get proactive protection.

Guardian Agent:

• Detects and blocks prompt injections and role impersonation
• Monitors outputs for sensitive data and intent drift
• Enforces alignment between user objectives and agent behavior
• Operates in real-time across any deployment model

The best part? You don’t need to write code or train a model. Aiceberg works independently of the agents and LLMs you use, giving you visibility and control without reengineering your stack.
