Across industries, boards and leadership teams have been urging their organisations to “do something with AI” often driven as much by fear of missing out (FOMO) as by strategy.
The result is a rush of internal “safe” projects in customer success, sales efficiency, engineering productivity and cybersecurity that show early promise but stall at scale.
Enterprises are realising that building an AI prototype can be relatively straightforward however, more and more are discovering that deploying it into production, whether for internal use or customer-facing applications, to truly capture value is an entirely different challenge.
Ameya Talwalkar, CEO and Co-Founder of Cequence Security said, “Our message to enterprises is rather than approaching these projects ‘manually’ they should be leveraging a cutting-edge solution like Cequence.
By using Cequence not only will they get out of the prototype rut but going forward they will never find themselves there in the first place.
“Cequence provides a solution that is fast and easy, enabling organizations to rapidly test out new ideas for agentic AI use, but without the risk of creating security issues or mountains of technical debt.
Cequence Security has been working with Fortune 500 clients across the U.S., Asia, and Australia to help them close the gap between being stalled and effective productivity.
Common implementation hurdles include:
- AI agents requiring access to internal apps and APIs, creating new security and compliance risks.
- A shortage of AI-skilled developers and upskilling requirements.
- The need for rigorous user and agent access controls to prevent misuse.
- Production-grade requirements for authentication, authorisation, monitoring and logging.
Without addressing these foundational requirements, projects that start with promise end up taking significantly longer than expected, widening the gap between leadership expectations and what’s actually delivered.
Mr. Talwalkar said, “In production you want proper authentication authorization, monitoring, logging, and security to prevent malicious/misbehaving agents from causing critical issues.
“We have found many organisations start with internal projects in an attempt to better manage risk but while agentic AI can truly bring relief to key pain points critical enterprise implementation issues must be handled before the tech can deliver on its promise.”
