HelpNet Security, Friday, June 6th, 2025
In this Help Net Security interview, Benny Porat, CEO at Twine Security, discusses applying AI agents to security decisions. He explains why identity and access management (IAM) is the ideal starting point for both augmentation and automation, and shares advice on building trust in AI agents and integrating them into existing workflows.
Which cybersecurity functions or domains are best suited for AI augmentation vs. full automation? How should CISOs think about that division of labor?
As identity is one of the most critical attack surfaces, I believe that identity and access management (IAM) is the cybersecurity domain that companies should start with, both for AI augmentation and full automation. It's not one or the other.
