[ Resource Center ](https://www.sumologic.com/resources?_resource_type=briefs)# AI agents are your new privileged insiders. They need a conductor.

##### Get the Gartner® report and learn how to deploy, coordinate, and control autonomous agents at enterprise scale.

Security and product leaders are at an inflection point. According to Gartner, C-level executives must pivot from single-agent tools to hierarchical control planes, as monolithic agents are architecturally incapable of navigating the multidimensional reasoning required for enterprise-scale autonomy.

Sumo Logic is built for this moment. We believe our platform addresses what Gartner identifies as the three defining challenges of agentic cybersecurity: scaling multiagent architectures, governing autonomous agents as nonhuman identities, and unifying fragmented security environments through universal interoperability standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Download the complimentary Gartner to understand:

- Why we believe Sumo Logic’s multi-agent architecture, Dojo AI, reflects the recommended approach for production-grade reliability in autonomous security operations.
- How we feel our approach to agent governance, including human-on-the-loop supervision, aligns with Gartner view that autonomous agents must be treated as privileged, non-human insiders.
- Why we think Sumo Logic’s adoption of MCP positions our customers to unify their heterogeneous security stacks without custom integrations, reflecting Gartner finding that interoperability is now the decisive competitive differentiator.
