I'm not sure if you've ever heard of firewalls before but you can in fact prevent network access you don't sanction.

Given that agentic AIs have shown an ability to exploit known vulnerabilities in software, it probably wouldn't be too far of a stretch to think they could get around firewalls in one way or another.

Which takes us back to the "it's hard to properly secure non-deterministic software" point.
