In this episode, we dive into the messy reality of AI agents acting inside your systems and what that means for modern security. We explore the idea of agents as actors with real access—credentials, APIs, and permissions—and why this isn’t as new as it sounds (hint: it’s just applications all over again). We unpack where things actually get risky, from over-permissioned agents to unpredictable behavior driven by prompts, and why “it won’t go rogue” might be missing the point entirely. We also question the growing hype around AI governance, whether security teams are actually gaining control or just making more lists, and what happens when agents start talking to each other… and running up your bill. Per usual, the conversation is filled with sarcasm, skepticism, and a healthy dose of “maybe just add parental controls.”
