Agent risk management is evolving rapidly as AI moves into consequential decision-making arenas, collapsing the boundary between human and machine risk across the enterprise.
The dual-threat landscape now confronting enterprises means no longer worrying about humans and phishing emails — now they have to account for non-human digital workers as well. Those AI agents are being onboarded into business workflows at a pace that outstrips governance, and the same speed that makes them incredibly productive makes them undeniably dangerous when compromised, according to Matt Duren (pictured), vice president of AI and data at KnowBe4 Inc.
“The things that we’re able to do with modern AI are so, so impactful, so much more intelligent,” Duren said. “Most leaders have found that they don’t have a choice [between human and digital workers]. AI is getting used by everyone in every industry and every job role. What my focus is on right now this year is: How can we get out there and have the same level of protection for the entire digital workforce?”
Duren spoke with theCUBE’s Scott Hebner at KB4-CON 2026, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how KnowBe4 is extending agent risk management to secure the full digital workforce of humans and AI. (* Disclosure below.)
