Your AI Agent Just Found Everything You Forgot to Secure

Om avsnittet

AI agents are gaining credentials, permissions and the ability to act across enterprise systems. But what happens when they discover years of forgotten files, excessive permissions and data that was never secured with AI access in mind?

In this episode of ClearTech Loop, Jo Peterson talks with longtime technology analyst and Forbes contributor Joe McKendrick about the security implications of the agentic workforce.

They discuss:

Why AI agents should be treated like non-human identities
The gap between AI governance policies and actual enforcement
How agents can expose forgotten enterprise data and permissions
Why human oversight and accountability still matter
What security leaders should be thinking about as agentic AI expands

Joe offers a simple warning: treat your AI agents with the same caution and restricted access you would give an intern.

Because AI may not create your security debt.

It may simply be the thing that finally exposes it.
