Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) solutions are here, and they can both streamline and endanger your operations. In this episode, sponsored by global security integrator Northland Controls, the chair of the ASIS Emerging Technology Community, Quang Trinh, PSP, discusses some of the bad habits agentic AI can pick up from its users and how to help correct those assumptions. Then, Jordan Hill of Hivewatch explains how adding a flexible AI triage layer for alert monitoring can alleviate user stress, uncover activity patterns, and refine operations in SOCs. Technology writer Sage Lazzaro rounds out this episode by outlining the technical use cases of AI for security to mitigate liability risk, but also where agentic AI could complicate accountability.
