Are AI agents functioning like adversarial malware inside your network? In this episode of the Cloud Security Podcast, Ashish sits down with Jasson Casey, Co-founder and CEO of Beyond Identity, to speak about the security risks introduced by Shadow AI and code assistants .Jasson explains why an AI agent executing a tool is the perfect opportunity for prompt injection or proprietary data exfiltration comparing unchecked agents to Ron Burgundy reading whatever is on the teleprompter . We discuss the "barbell" reaction of CISOs (either blocking AI entirely or blindly accepting the risk) and why placing device-bound identity at the core of your security stack is the only way to safely enable AI speed .From an $80,000 stolen Anthropic key nightmare on Reddit to a red-team exercise that cloned voices using Hugging Face models in just four hours, this episode highlights the tangible threats and solutions of the AI era .Guest Socials - Jasson's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - @CloudSecPod If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube- Cloud Security Newsletter If you are interested in AI Security, you can check out our sister podcast - AI Security PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:50) Who is Jasson Casey?
