Why AI Agents Are Challenging Traditional Security Models

Sanjay Jeyakumar, Co-Founder and CTO at Abnormal AI, joins Dave Bittner on the CyberWire Daily podcast for a sponsored Industry Voices conversation about why AI agents are challenging traditional security models. Using a recent OpenAI and Hugging Face incident as an example, Sanjay explains how agents can combine legitimate permissions, stale credentials, and over-privileged identities in unexpected ways. He discusses why securing agentic AI requires organizations to look beyond known threats and focus on whether identities are behaving as expected.


Abnormal, we stop attacks others can't. The Behavioral Security Platform for the AI era.

AI has changed the shape of enterprise risk, and attackers know it.

Attacks now move at machine speed, with unprecedented scale and sophistication. Every new AI tool, agent, and integration creates an identity nobody's tracking, and in most organizations no one can say who owns it or what it's allowed to do. To fight bad AI, you need behavioral AI. Find out what your cybersecurity stack is missing.
