When Your AI Has a Login and a Mind of Its Own
Autonomous AI agents are no longer science fiction, they’re already reshaping how we work, build, and protect digital systems. In this episode, Jeremy Huval and Ryan Patrick are joined again by Richard Diver, Security and Identity Strategist at Microsoft, to break down what "agentic AI" really means and why it matters now. Richard unpacks the core building blocks of agent behavior (like entitlements, autonomy, and memory) and shares where the biggest risks lie as organizations rush to adopt agent-based systems. From identity sprawl to memory poisoning and the need for lifecycle management, this episode gives insights for security and GRC leaders who want to get ahead of the next wave of AI-driven innovation.
