Your next insider threat may not be human.

As AI agents become part of the workforce, organizations are giving non-human workers access to systems, data, workflows, and decisions.

That creates a new question. How do you govern something that can move faster than your controls?

In the latest episode of The Frontline Innovation Podcast, I talked with Wendy Overton, co-founder and CEO of Signal Loom, about the security and governance challenges created by AI agents.

We discussed:

  • Shadow agents operating outside formal oversight
  • Why traditional human access models may not be enough
  • The risks of giving agents too much autonomy
  • The limits of the “human in the loop”
  • How AI can scale people instead of simply replacing them
  • Why visibility has to come before control

You can’t govern what you can’t see.

As organizations accelerate AI adoption, the real challenge may not be whether agents can do the work.

It may be whether we can understand, govern, and trust what they are doing while they do it.
