Darktrace CEO: AI Agents Are the New ‘Insider Threat’

Darktrace CEO Ed Jennings says AI agents are becoming a new kind of “insider threat” as companies rapidly deploy autonomous systems with access to sensitive data and infrastructure. As Darktrace launches new tools to track shadow AI, agent identities and behavior, Jennings discusses why cybersecurity is racing to catch up with adoption, what happens when agents act beyond their intended roles, and why behavioral monitoring could help companies safely capture the benefits of AI. He joins Ed Ludlow on "Bloomberg Tech." (Source: Bloomberg)
