Agents Without Borders

Autonomous AI for Enterprise Cloud Security

Chyren Publication · ISBN 978-93-7880-287-4 · Co-authored with Dr. Pradeep Kumar Sharma, Dheeraj Gupta, Upendra Kumar Singh & Monika Nanda

The book explores the transformation of enterprise cybersecurity from traditional, rule-based defense and security automation toward intelligent, adaptive and autonomous cyber defense — examining how cloud-native environments, sophisticated threats and advances in Agentic AI demand systems capable of continuous perception, contextual reasoning, planning, collaboration, adaptation and governed action.

It builds the foundations of Agentic AI — autonomous reasoning, secure tool invocation, persistent memory, multi-agent collaboration and Human-in-the-Loop governance — then develops a full architectural and operational approach to Autonomous Cloud Security. It further covers Zero Trust, identity-centric protection, containers and Kubernetes, observability, threat modelling, autonomous incident response, ethics, explainability and regulatory compliance, closing with self-healing infrastructure, digital twins, federated learning and post-quantum security.
