Layered defences for agents in production, with insurance-relevant examples. Layered defences for agents in production, with insurance-relevant examples. Persistent 2026 concern. Includes controls, pitfalls, and a phased implementation path. Layered defences for agents in production, with insurance-relevant examples. Why this matters Teams are under pressure to deliver AI capability quickly, but speed without control creates operational and governance risk. This guide focuses on practical execution patterns that hold up in production. Prerequisites Clear ownership for delivery and risk decisions. Baseline observability for model and tool behaviour. Defined quality and security acceptance criteria. Practical approach Define the business decision this capability supports. Limit the first release scope to one workflow and one owner. Add measurable controls for quality, latency, and failure handling. Roll out with explicit monitoring and rollback paths. Implem...
