Snowflake and 1Password tackle the growing challenge of securing AI agents at scale
As AI agents gain access to sensitive enterprise data, AI agent security is becoming a top priority for organizations. The challenge is no longer just protecting systems, but ensuring autonomous agents can be trusted, governed and controlled at scale.
For the past two decades, enterprise security has focused primarily on protecting applications and infrastructure. Today, the conversation is shifting toward governing the people and AI agents that access sensitive systems and data, according to Nancy Wang (pictured, left), chief technology officer at AgileBits Inc., doing business as 1Password.
“The conversation has really changed from how do we secure systems to now how do we govern actors,” Wang said. “Agents really throw that conversation and make it truly multidimensional.”

They discussed AI agent security and the convergence of identity and data security. (* Disclosure below.)
