IBM's AI Security Experts Agree: Your Agent Needs Runtime Protection

Three of IBM's top security minds — an IBM Fellow, an X-Force Incident Command leader, and a Distinguished Engineer — sat down on the Security Intelligence podcast to discuss AI agent security. Their conclusions were sobering, specific, and directly relevant to anyone running an AI agent today. We listened to the whole episode. Here are the risks they identified — and how ClawMoat addresses every single one. The Experts: Sridhar Mupidi — IBM Fellow & CTO, IBM Security Nick Bradley — X-Force Incident Command, IBM Security Jeff Crume — Distinguished Engineer & Master Inventor, AI and Data Security, IBM 1. "We're giving agents system-level privileges and turning them loose" "You're going to turn that loose on your system and give it maybe system-level privileges so that it can modify files, enter terminal commands… This is something that is tremendously powerful if it's used well. But the fact of the matter is most people — this is going to be very opaque." — Jeff Crume, IBM Distinguished
