Summary
Panelists argued that near-term AI security risk is less “robot overlords” than over-permissioned agents, shadow AI, and old weaknesses accelerated by automation. They urged teams to fix basics like MFA, password managers, pinned GitHub Actions, and agent permissions before productivity-driven deployments expand attack surfaces.
