Ask a governance lead which of their AI controls actually ran last Tuesday at 2:14 p.m., when a specific agent touched a specific dataset, and the answer usually arrives as a policy document, an org chart, and a shrug. That gap between the controls a program claims to have and the controls that actually fired when an agent acted is where AI governance quietly fails. Policy documents describe intent. Model monitoring tracks accuracy and drift.

Tines co-founder and COO Thomas Kinsella recently joined Peter High on the Technovation podcast to talk about the evolution of Tines, the rise of "wild code," and why agents aren’t always the right tools for the job. The conversation covered a lot of ground — from the original problem that inspired Tines, to how teams should think about combining AI agents, deterministic automation, and humans in a single workflow. Here, we’ll share some of the highlights.

If you walked the floor at Black Hat this year, you likely noticed a glaring trend: the AI Security Operations Center (SOC) is no longer a bleeding-edge novelty. It’s officially a commodity. With close to 70 AI SOC platform companies vying for attention, the market is completely saturated. What was once the hottest standalone category in cybersecurity is rapidly becoming a standard feature.

More teams are building Apps in Tines Stories to deliver their most important work. This month, you can connect Apps to your Tines data, assign clear ownership, and share view access through your identity provider. Bring your data directly into an app. Apps can now read cases, records, and resources through built-in Workbench functions, so you spend less time configuring Workbench tools and building endpoints to interact with your data..

In July, we launched Tines 3B to the world, and it’s been incredible to see the response from our customers. It wasn’t a surprise though, we had a sneak peek of how much value 3B could bring when we launched it internally. On June 2, around eight weeks before the product's general availability, we unlocked the doors of 3B, let every single Tines employee into our own instance, and invited them to start building.

Government teams are under growing pressure to modernize and improve efficiency while continuing to meet rigorous requirements for security, governance, and accountability. Meeting both demands requires technology that can support innovation without sacrificing control. That’s why we’re proud to share that Tines has achieved TX-RAMP Level 2 certification for both Tines Stories and Tines 3B.
