Gartner warns that enterprises will deploy over 150,000 AI agents by 2028, up from fewer than 15 today, requiring strict governance to prevent uncontrolled proliferation and security risks. Organizations using third-party governance tools were nearly twice as likely to report higher value from AI deployments, compared to those restricting access without structured controls. Companies need centralized governance committees, agent inventories, AI TRiSM tools, and continuous monitoring to manage agent sprawl and prevent misinformation, data loss, and IT complexity.
