The Rise of Agentic Cloud Security: Code-to-Cloud Shrinks to 3 Days
Show notes
Is your cloud security strategy ready for the "messy middle" of AI adoption? With developers pushing code from inception to production in under three days using "vibe coding," and adversaries capable of exfiltrating data in just 25 minutes, human-led security is no longer fast enough .In this episode, Ashish sits down with Elad Koren from Palo Alto Networks (Cortex Cloud) to discuss the shift toward Agentic Cloud Security. Elad spoke to us about why bolting an AI chatbot onto legacy security tools doesn't work, and why you must run AI directly where your data lies . Elad shared a real-world case study: an organization that rapidly spun up an "internal" AI workload to test the market, only to have a red team discover it was exposed to the public internet with zero authentication .If you want to know how the role of cloud security practitioners will evolve from manual analysts to AI orchestrators within the next five years, listen to this episode.
