AI governance may exist on paper. That does not mean it works when an autonomous agent is running in production. Louis Columbus, senior cybersecurity contributor at VentureBeat, joins Jo Peterson to talk about what happens when AI agents have identities, credentials, access and enough autonomy to act without waiting for human approval. They get into the gap between governance and enforcement, why companies may have far more agents running than they realize, and what CISOs need to ...
Your AI agent has one job: accomplish the objective. It doesn’t care about your policies. It doesn’t worry about getting fired. And it may not stop when a human would. Joanna Wiggum calls it a narcissist. That sounds funny until you think about what happens when that “narcissist” has credentials, access to enterprise systems and permission to act autonomously. In this episode, Joanna joins Jo Peterson to talk about what AI agents are exposing inside enterprise security...
Guest Benny Czarny CEO, Founder & Chairman of the Board OPSWAT Host Jo Peterson CIO, Clarify360 Chief Analyst, ClearTech Research AI agents have credentials. They access enterprise data.

Marcus challenges the idea that AI automatically requires an entirely new security playbook. His argument: ...
What if an AI agent had to earn—and keep—its access based on how it behaved? In this episode of ClearTech Loop, Jo Peterson sits down with Elliott Mattice, founder of Exprima, to examine trust as the missing operating layer between AI security and AI governance. Traditional controls can define an agent’s identity and permissions. Governance frameworks can establish policies and accountability. Elliott argues that organizations still need something in the middle: continuous behavio...
What happens when an AI agent takes an action no one authorized? The answer is not, “The model did it.” In this episode of ClearTech Loop, Jo Peterson sits down with cybersecurity and technology executive Billy Spears to unpack the gap between AI policy and actual AI control. They discuss: Who is accountable when an AI agent makes an unauthorized decision Why agents should never inherit broad permissions by default How identity and authorization must work at ...
AI agents are becoming part of the enterprise workforce, but many organizations still do not know where those agents are, what they can access, or what they are allowed to do. In this ClearTech Loop Special Edition sponsored by Okta, Jo Peterson speaks with Matthew Hansen, Regional Chief Security Officer and Head of Customer Audit at Okta, about the identity challenge behind agentic AI. They discuss Okta’s AI Blueprint, Okta for AI Agents, and why enterprises need to treat AI agen...
