Governance Isn't Security When AI Agents Can't Use...

To The Point - Cybersecurity ·

2026/10/06

Enterprises have spent decades writing governance policies that quietly assumed a human would exercise judgment at the final step. Jake Williams, VP of R&D at Hunter Strategy and a faculty analyst at IANS Research, argues that assumption collapses the moment autonomous agents enter the picture. Agents do not use discretion and cannot be held accountable the way an employee can, which turns the implied trust at the bottom of every access control list into a liability. The result is a widening gap

Autonomous Agents Need a Verified Identity with...

2026/08/25

The identity and access model built for human users starts to break the moment an autonomous agent acts on someone's behalf, because an agent cannot be authenticated the way a person is. Rosalyn Curato, Chief Innovation Officer and General Manager of Agentic Security at Vouched, makes the case that an autonomous agent should never be an anonymous one, and that trust starts with verifying the agent and tying it to a known human. Her framing reduces to three questions every organization should be able

2026/08/18

Every CIO and CISO adopting AI faces the same trap. Loosen the guardrails and let employees use the tools they want, and put your sensitive data at risk. Block it and lock everything down, and watch shadow AI use grow. Steven Walchek, co-founder and CEO of Liminal and a former innovation leader at AWS and FIS, joins Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepher to argue the answer is not one or the other but both. The conversation covers the real regulatory exposure facing mid-market companies, why the public

Agentic AI Needs Humans on the Loop with Michael Chavira

To The Point - Cybersecurity ·

2026/07/14

As AI systems start acting on their own, the hardest security problem is no longer approving what a model outputs but governing the conditions under which it is allowed to act at all. Michael Chavira, co-founder of Axiologic Solutions, argues that most organizations confuse governance with security, writing policies and standing up AI councils that describe intent while leaving the enforcement layer, where a model actually touches data, underbuilt. His answer is to move humans out of the

AI Agents Aren't People. Don't Give Them the Keys...

To The Point - Cybersecurity ·

2026/07/07

Ido Shlomo, co-founder and CTO of Token Security, makes a blunt case: an AI agent is not a person. It is a workload that impersonates one, chasing whatever goal it is handed without judgment, memory, or common sense. Treat it like an employee and hand it the keys, and enterprise security quietly starts to break down. Shlomo explains why agents inherit the same credentials and keys that service accounts have always used, why over-permissioning backfires on the business itself, and how identity teams
