AI agents have credentials. They access enterprise data. They make decisions. And increasingly, they can act without waiting for a human. 

So who actually owns the risk? 

Jo Peterson sits down with Benny Czarny, CEO, Founder & Chairman of the Board at OPSWAT, to talk about what AI agent governance needs to look like as autonomous AI moves deeper into the enterprise. 

They discuss why every AI agent needs its own identity and a human owner, how least privilege should apply to agents and sub-agents, and why understanding what data an agent can access may be just as important as securing the model itself. 

Benny also shares where CISOs should start if they don’t yet have an AI agent inventory or governance framework in place.

  • Why every AI agent needs a human owner 
  • Least privilege for AI agents and sub-agents
