Show Notes

Is shadow AI quietly creating risk inside your business? 🤖🔐 In this episode of Random but Memorable, you’ll learn what happens when employees adopt AI tools faster than teams can track them.

Amy Gebhardt, Senior Engineering Manager at 1Password, joins the show to unpack the security and visibility challenges behind shadow AI. The pair also discuss tokenmaxxing: a carefree approach to prompts, model calls, and AI agents that can lead to eyewatering bills. Learn why AI spend is so difficult to manage and how your team can spot waste without killing useful experimentation. In Watchtower Weekly, we look at how AI agents are changing the speed of cyberattacks, and why visibility, access controls, and credential management matter more than ever.

Finally, in #Ask1Password, we share our favorite underrated 1Password tips and features.
