Why AI Agents Are a Security Wild West with David from Arcjet and Johannes from Cakewalk
This Much I Know - The Seedcamp PodcastShow Notes
Your AI agent just deleted a database. Who gets fired?
There's no good answer yet - and that's a huge problem. Companies are handing AI agents sweeping access to their systems, often more than they'd give a new hire, without knowing who's accountable when something goes wrong.
In our latest podcast episode, Carlos Eduardo Espinal MBE sits down with Johannes Keienburg, Cofounder of Cakewalk, and David Mytton, CEO of Arcjet: two founders building solutions to this exact problem. They explore why AI agents don't need to "go rogue" to cause serious damage, the "zombie identity" problem of agents that outlive the employees who created them, and why the security tools built to stop hackers simply don't work when it comes to agents.
