Top Challenges for Scaling Agentic AI

A Gartner^® analysis of a framework for overcoming agent sprawl, fragmented data, and governance challenges to scale agentic AI securely.

As organizations accelerate agentic AI adoption, they face growing pressure to manage agent sprawl, fragmented data, and expanding security risks. Without effective orchestration, governance, and oversight, AI initiatives can introduce operational complexity, increase exposure to autonomous threats, and struggle to scale beyond pilot deployments.

This report helps security and technology leaders evaluate the operational, data, and governance factors that influence successful agentic AI adoption. It provides a framework for assessing readiness, identifying barriers to scale, and understanding the controls needed to move agentic AI initiatives from pilots to enterprise deployment.

Key Questions We Believe This Report Helps You Answer:

• What challenges are preventing organizations from scaling agentic AI beyond pilot deployments?
• How does agent sprawl affect governance, operational efficiency, and scalability?
• Why is fragmented data a barrier to effective autonomous decision making?
• What role do orchestration and observability play in managing large-scale AI agent ecosystems?
• How do nonhuman identities and autonomous agents introduce new security and governance risks?
• What frameworks and controls are needed to deploy agentic AI securely and at enterprise scale?
