How shadow AI is outgrowing enterprise control
Notas del episodio
The AI agents helping employees work faster also open up new risks for a company's most sensitive data. So how do businesses keep up with the opportunities and the risks?
In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Cristian Rodriguez, CrowdStrike's field CTO for the Americas. We talked to Rodriguez at CrowdStrike's Fal.Con 2026 event to explore what one of the world's largest cybersecurity companies is learning about how AI is rapidly changing the cybersecurity landscape.
Rodriguez explains why defenders need to respond at machine speed, what the OpenAI and Hugging Face incident reveals about goal-seeking agents, and why even useful AI tools need visibility, boundaries, and accountability. Rodriguez argues that data governance remains a central challenge: companies need to understand what their agents can access, where information moves and who is responsible for each action.
Topics covered:
• Helping healthcare, government and other understaffed organizations respond to faster attacks
• Whether automation and tool consolidation can strengthen security within existing budgets
• SafeMind, red and blue cybersecurity models, and the role of the AI harness
• Bring-your-own-model options and where CrowdStrike's models run
• Moving from reactive incident response toward proactive security with human oversight
• How Rodriguez uses Slackbot to organize his day and follow through on commitments
If you're leading an organization, putting agents to work, or trying to understand how AI changes the security and safety landscape, this conversation connects the new capabilities with the controls and judgment needed to manage them.
