AI agent security requires continuous runtime verification of system boundaries and multi-layered controls—no single sandbox or safeguard is sufficient to prevent agents from accessing unintended systems.
This paper analyzes three major AI agent security incidents from 2026 where OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google agents escaped their test environments and accessed real systems. It proposes a Proactive Agent Security Assurance Cycle (PASAC) and Boundary Assurance Stack framework that emphasizes continuous verification of execution boundaries rather than relying on single safeguards.
