As enterprise AI evolves from simple chatbots into autonomous agents, traditional security methods are no longer enough to protect your company's crown jewels.

In this episode of Agents of Dev presented by Snowflake, hosts Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin sit down with Mayank Upadhyay, Chief Security and Trust Officer at Snowflake, to dive into the security and governance shift required for agentic workflows.

Mayank explains why static API keys fail in non-deterministic environments, how workload identity gives autonomous agents true accountability, and how Snowflake’s Cortex AI Gateway centralizes model routing, cost management, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool governance.
