The rise of intelligent digital workers and autonomous AI agents is compounding an already urgent cybersecurity challenge: attack surfaces expanding faster than security teams can manually assess them. That pressure is exactly why autonomous penetration testing is emerging as a critical discipline. AI-powered attackers are compressing the time from vulnerability discovery to exploitation from months to […]

The AI governance gap is widening rapidly as AI agents assume operational roles inside enterprise workflows, expanding the security perimeter faster than most organizations can mitigate exposure. But the shift from security awareness training to human risk management is no longer where the governance conversation stops. The harder problem now is what happens when the […]

Agent risk management is evolving rapidly as AI moves into consequential decision-making arenas, collapsing the boundary between human and machine risk across the enterprise. The dual-threat landscape now confronting enterprises means no longer worrying about humans and phishing emails — now they have to account for non-human digital workers as well. Those AI agents are being […]

Untrained AI agents are easy security targets — they don’t know bad people exist, says KnowBe4 CEO

Kelly Knight — Thu, 14 May 2026 18:22:22 +0000

The dual-threat landscape of enterprise AI security is coming into focus. The same autonomous agents transforming workforce productivity are also expanding the attack surface — and most organizations have no governance framework to manage either risk. As a matter of fact, the gap between adoption and governance has become the defining security risk of the current […]

Human risk management is becoming a practical measure of enterprise security. The old playbook treated employees as the weak link; the new one has to account for people, AI agents and automated decisions moving through the same workflows. That puts cybersecurity company KnowBe4 in a stronger market conversation: not just training users, but helping enterprises […]
