Immuta CISO predicts critical AI incidents at major enterprises within 18 months

In this Help Net Security interview, Michael Scott, CISO at Immuta, talks about how organizations should handle permissions for AI agents.

Summary

He argues agents should be treated as lower-trust identities that don’t inherit everything their user can access. Scott explains why agent privilege creep differs from the human kind, how authority should pass to sub-agents, and why authentication alone does not secure what an agent does.

KazaSec's take

AI-related security incidents are a genuinely new category, prompt injection, model manipulation, and data leakage through an LLM integration don't map cleanly onto traditional application security testing, and are worth assessing deliberately rather than assuming existing controls already cover them.
