AI systems are moving fast, sometimes faster than the guardrails meant to contain them. In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner digs into the hidden risks inside modern AI models with Pamela K. Isom, exploring the governance gaps that allow agents to make decisions, recommendations, and even commitments far beyond their intended authority. Isom, former director of AI and technology at the U.S.

Passwords were invented in the 1960s. Six decades later, we’re still using them to protect everything from email accounts to bank transfers to corporate networks. The problem isn’t just that they’re old technology, it’s that they were never designed for the world we live in now.

For fraud fighters, link analysis tools like Persona’s Graph are becoming essential for stopping account sharing, deepfakes, identity mules, and other forms of sophisticated or scaling fraud attacks. Since we launched Graph in early 2023, we’ve spent countless hours gathering feedback from customers, investigating the latest fraud vectors, and testing new technology. Graph is a better product as a result, and we want to share six improvements that are helping fraud fighters today.

In conversations about AI, there’s a tendency to treat the future like a horizon we’re walking toward, always somewhere ahead, always a question of when. But if we look closely, the forces reshaping work, identity, and security beneath the surface are far more consequential than most people realize. More importantly, that reshaping is already happening.

Identity is everything. Hamper it, and the individual is left with disrupted privacy, reputation damage, and endless fraud. Attackers are always on the lookout for access to resources and accounts via identity theft, credential theft, and Account Takeover Attacks (ATO). So, it is paramount to leverage solutions that securely link a user’s identity with who they claim to be. Identity assurance offers frameworks, components, and best practices to safeguard modern-day identities.

As organizations continue to adopt more SaaS applications, managing access across those systems has quietly become one of the most complex operational challenges for IT teams. Identity providers, collaboration tools, cloud platforms, and business applications all have their own access models, their own admins, and their own ways of tracking permissions. In most organizations, there still isn’t a truly streamlined or automated way to handle access end to end.

With the surge in remote work and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies, securing corporate data across thousands of mobile endpoints has become a critical challenge. In fact, over 80% of small business owners rely on mobile devices for work daily (Zen Business), making mobile device security a critical aspect for businesses. To meet this requirement, businesses are opting for Mobile Device Management (MDM) software at scale.
