The zero-trust agent: why your AI needs a sandbox, not a blank check

May 8, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Key takeaway: Granting AI agents unrestricted access to cloud infrastructure is an unacceptable security risk. Upsun provides a "zero-trust" framework by utilizing isolated, production-perfect preview environments that allow AI to be productive without the risk of a hallucinated production outage.

A few weeks ago, a group of engineering leaders I trade notes with got into it over a question none of us has a clean answer to: How much should you let an engineer spend on AI?
