AI's internal threat requires new security approach, says WWT exec

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence necessitates a shift in cybersecurity strategies, moving beyond traditional external threat defenses to encompass the governance of internal AI agents. Chris Konrad, VP of Global Cyber at WWT, emphasizes that organizations must assess and control the scope of AI access and authority, ensuring each agent has a distinct identity, limited permissions, and observable activities. Building autonomous resilience involves continuous validation of AI behavior and controls, with human oversight remaining critical for high-impact actions. Ultimately, trusted AI can be leveraged to enhance defense by discovering exposures, simulating attacks, and accelerating remediation, provided robust safeguards are in place. AI
