AI Agents Are the New Attackers — Inside the Identity Security Platform Built for 2025
What if the biggest cyber risk inside your company wasn’t malware — but identity?
In this episode, I sit down with Santhosh Jayaprakash, founder & CEO of UnoSecur, to unpack one of the fastest-moving transformations in cybersecurity: the rise of identity as the new perimeter. Attackers don’t break in anymore — they log in. And with AI agents, LLM workflows, and machine-to-machine communication exploding, identity risk is growing faster than security teams can react.
UnoSecur is building an identity security platform that monitors identity behavior after login, detecting stolen credentials, risky machine identities, and AI agent misuse in real time. Think of it as the layer that finally answers the question: Who is actually doing what inside your systems — and should they be doing it?
