Crash. Hack. Deviate: Three AI agent failures every enterprise must prepare to face

AI agents are moving into the enterprise at full speed. They’re writing code, running analyses, managing workflows, and increasingly shouldering responsibilities once trusted to humans. The opportunity is enormous, but so is the risk. Over-reliance, over-trust, and a lack of guardrails create dangerous fragility. When things go wrong—and they will—enterprises can face three inevitable “panic” moments: unmistakable signs of AI agent failures.

Think IGA is challenging? You're not alone

If getting visibility into and governance over your identity estate feels like a headache that—despite attempts at treatment—won’t go away, you’re not alone. You may have processes or tools, but manual work persists, and new apps and identities appear every day. Sound familiar? Many identity governance and automation (IGA) programs are stalling, and it’s not for lack of effort.

EP 18 - The humanity of AI agents: Managing trust in the age of agentic AI

In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner sits down with Yuval Moss, CyberArk’s VP of Solutions for Global Strategic Partners, to explore the fast-evolving world of agentic AI and its impact on enterprise security. From rogue AI agents deleting production databases to the ethical blind spots of autonomous systems, the conversation dives deep into how identity and Zero Trust principles must evolve to keep pace. Yuval shares insights from his 25-year cybersecurity journey, including why AI agents behave more like humans than machines—and why that’s both exciting and dangerous.

Secrets, out: Why workload identity is essential for AI agent security

AI agents aren’t waiting in the wings anymore. They’re approving payments, spinning up cloud resources, and pulling sensitive data at machine speed. Blink, and a swarm of them has already acted a thousand times before anyone can check the logs. But with all that speed and capability comes risk. For many teams, it’s the authentication model—not the tech—that’s breaking.

47-day TLS certificates: What's changing and how to prepare

Trust is the foundation of the digital world. Every time a customer visits a website, processes a financial transaction, or connects to a business application, that trust is validated by TLS certificates. For years, TLS certificate lifespans stretched comfortably to 13 months or longer, giving teams ample time to track and renew them before they expired and caused an application outage. In some situations, even manual renewals were viable for longer lifespan certificates. That era is ending.

CyberArk named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for PAM

It’s one thing to excel. It’s another to consistently redefine the path forward. We’re proud to announce that CyberArk has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management (PAM) for the seventh consecutive time. In the latest report, CyberArk is positioned furthest for Completeness of Vision—a placement that, in our view, further reinforces our position as a forward-thinking vendor shaping the future of privilege.

96 machines per human: The financial sector's agentic AI identity crisis

What if you hired about 100 new employees for every one you already had, and then, on a whim, gave them all admin rights? Sure, these fresh hires would likely be brilliant and hungry to make an impression. But they wouldn’t always know the rules. Some would make mistakes. Others might take liberties. Before long, it’d be bedlam. That’s what’s happening right now inside financial services institutions.

EP 17 - Privilege creep and the machine identity surge: Securing the modern enterprise

In this episode of Security Matters, Chris Schueler, CEO of Cyderes, joins host David Puner for a dive into the evolving challenges of enterprise security. The conversation explores the dangers of privilege creep, the explosion of machine identities, and why accountability at every point of interaction is essential for building resilient teams and systems.

EP 17 - Privilege creep and the machine identity surge: Securing the modern enterprise

The conversation explores the dangers of privilege creep, the explosion of machine identities, and why accountability at every point of interaction is essential for building resilient teams and systems. Chris shares insights on the risks of unmanaged access, the impact of AI and automation on both defense and attack strategies, and practical advice for CISOs and boards on managing identity risk while enabling business transformation..

Securing AI agents: privileged machine identities at unprecedented scale

Earlier in 2025, an AI agent named Claudius made headlines when it insisted it was human, promising to deliver products in “a blue blazer and red tie.” Quirky? Sure. But beneath the strange admission sat a more important truth: today’s AI agents aren’t just chatbots with puppet-like ambitions, whose untruths would be betrayed by a growing nose. They’ve evolved into actors with real credentials, access, and autonomy.

AI agents in financial services: The hidden org chart

AI agents are quickly becoming “first-class citizens” in financial services, mimicking human behavior and holding privileged access that rivals employees. Yet unlike people, they don’t appear on your official org chart. The financial services sector already lives in a state of constant tension: the race to adopt new technologies for a competitive edge often faces off with the duty to preserve customer trust earned over decades of reliability, regulation, and security.

When AI agents become admins: Rethinking privileged access in the age of AI

From resetting passwords and approving workflows to pulling HR data and orchestrating cloud infrastructure, AI agents now perform tasks that previously required a human with privileged access. AI has moved beyond the realm of passive chatbots into autonomous, persistent operations, performing work on behalf of an individual or entity. Like it or not, that makes AI agents a new part of your workforce. They hold credentials, trigger workflows, and make their own decisions.
