EP260 The Agentic IAM Trainwreck: Why Your Bots Need Better Permissions Than Your Admins

Guest:

• Vishwas Manral, CEO at Precize.ai

Topic:

• Why is agent security so different from "just" LLM security?
• Why now? Agents are coming, sure, but they are - to put it mildly - not in wide use. Why create a top 10 list now and not wait for people to make the mistakes?
• It sounds like "agents + IAM" is a disaster waiting to happen. What should be our approach for solving this? Do we have one?
• Which one agentic AI risk keeps you up at night?
• Is there an interesting AI shared responsibility angle here? Agent developer, operator, downstream system operator?
• We are having a lot of experimentation, but sometimes little value from Agents. What are the biggest challenges of secure agentic AI and AI agents adoption in enterprises?
