The latest generation of AI models has collapsed the time from vulnerability discovery to weaponized exploit from weeks to minutes, and reactive, module-based tools built around static dashboards simply can't keep up. In this episode, Tanium COO Matt Quinn joins Business Security Weekly to discuss Tanium Atlas, the new autonomous operating system for IT and security. Matt explains why "good enough" operations are now a liability, how Atlas turns a single operator into the equivalent of an entire team, giving organizations the speed, scale, and efficiency to match the pace of today's threat environment. He also breaks down why nearly two decades of real-time endpoint telemetry across more than 36 million endpoints is the foundation no AI model can replicate on its own.

Mobile applications have unique risks and threat models compared to server-side applications and infrastructure. Consequently, they need different strategies to ensure their business logic and workflows well secured. We'll dive into some of these defense-in-depth strategies and why they are important to mobile applications. Securing workflows goes beyond input validation and pattern matching suspicious payloads; it requires detailed attention to state machines, edge cases, and collecting signals to evaluate trust.

Interview with Sandy Bird, co-founder of Sonrai Security In this week's interview, we kick off the conversation with how Sonrai's expertise in securing cloud identity permissions had the company well placed to address the explosion of AI agents and the clear risks they represented. On the surface, this looks like a cloud/hyperscaler permissions challenge, but it isn't that simple. As agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Hermes are connected to enterprise cloud agents, the risk spreads outside VPCs and onto endpoints. Check out the episode to learn more about some of the most common risks Sandy finds and how Sonrai goes about addressing them. This segment is sponsored by Sonrai Security.

Segment Resources AWS Bedrock agent permissions: what you need to lock down before you go live Making Enterprise AI Agents Accountable with Amir Ofek, CEO and Co-Founder of aizome Organizations looking to unlock the power of Enterprise AI Agents, and in a controlled and safe way at the speed of AI. Identity is at the heart of it. However, NHI Governance Is Not Enough for Enterprise AI Agents. The identity industry has responded to the rise of AI agents the same way it responds to every new identity challenge: extend existing frameworks. Map agents to human owners. Enforce least privilege. Govern them like non-human identities. It is a reasonable instinct. It is also insufficient in ways that matter enormously. Non-human identity security was built for a deterministic world - service accounts, API keys, bots. These identities do what they are configured to do. Their behavior is predictable enough that static governance models work. Enterprise AI agents are categorically different. Not in degree - in kind. They don't execute fixed instructions. They reason, plan, and adapt in response to context. Their scope shifts with every task. Their behavior at runtime can diverge significantly from anything true at provisioning time. Unlike any identity that came before them, they frequently change their intent, at a pace no governance model built for human movers or machine credentials was designed to handle. Wrapping them in the same framework you use for a service account isn't wrong. It's just insufficient in precisely the places where risk accumulates.

Who's Accountable? Interview with Howard Ting - CEO - Opal Security A self-driving car still has a license plate The accountability didn't change just because the driver did. The same has to be true for AI agents, but most environments can't trace an agent action back through the layers of delegation to the human who authorized it. Howard Ting, CEO of Opal Security, joins Security Weekly to discuss what the accountability model looks like when employees run swarms of agents, and what has to be in place before that accountability chain is tested. https://www.opal.dev/resource-center/identity-governance-report-2026-ai-access This segment is sponsored by Opal Security.

Next Evolution of Identity Security: AI for Lower Cost, Efficiency & Governance with Ajay Gupta - President & CEO - SDG Organizations have invested heavily in identity platforms, but many still struggle to maximize security, efficiency, and governance outcomes. As AI transforms both cyber defense and cyber threats, Identity Security is emerging as a critical foundation for securing human and non-human identities alike. In this discussion, we explore how AI is helping organizations reduce costs, improve operations, defend against AI-powered attacks, and address the governance challenges created by AI agents—highlighting the convergence of Identity Security, AI Security, and AI Governance.

One of the biggest questions most executives ask is "Why does it still feel this hard when the talent is clearly there?" The answer, in almost every case, is not a people problem. It is an environment problem. And environment is something a leader can build. Greg Hoffman, President at Ascension Performance Group, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss his new book, Performance Through People, a leadership parable that shows a practical operating model for building the conditions where people perform at their highest level. It is written as a story, but it is built as a framework. Greg will discuss the core pillars of this framework, including: Leadership First Mindset Operational Clarity Capability Empowerment Impact Segment Resources: - https://a.co/d/053FuwYT - https://ascensionpg.com/articles/ In the leadership and communications segment, What the New Quantum Executive Orders Mean for Business Leaders, What I Learned About Burnout the Hard Way (and How to Actually Fix it, Mentorship Matters, and more!

SquidBleed reveals another vuln that's been lurking for decades, but its real lesson is in managing an attack surface. Regardless of whatever programming language you use, removing code is one of the best security steps you can take, followed by changing default configs to turn off uncommon features and ancient protocols. The Linux kernel's removal of strncpy is another example of managing attack surface by replacing a notoriously misused and ambiguous function with more specific versions that better match the developers intent. It was a six-year journey for the kernel, but one that should remove a class of vulns and, importantly, improve performance. Then it's on to agents with a discussion of the newly released OWASP AISVS and yet another example of evaluating LLMs as code reviewers. Agentic AI Has an Identity Problem AI agents are already running inside enterprise environments, operating on credentials, API tokens, and cloud roles that most security teams have never inventoried. When an agent acts autonomously across production systems, the security question is no longer just what it can do but who it is and whether that identity is governed at all. Itamar Apelblat, Co-Founder and CEO of Token Security, discusses why identity is the right lens for understanding agentic AI risk and what practical steps security teams can take now.
