Are We Facing Machine-Speed Threats With Human-Speed Security?

Should detection and response remain the center of security when AI, data, and identity are converging at machine speed? Detection and response has long been an organizing principle of enterprise security. Francis Odum, Founder and CEO of Software Analyst Cyber Research, argues that model is being pushed to its limits as AI agents act autonomously and attack timelines compress. In this episode, Francis and Ash Hunt explore why existing identity controls may not be enough for AI agents, why every AI security vendor sounds identical right now, and how security controls have to change for agentic systems.
