The Tool Creep Problem: When More Security Means Less Security
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we break down why security budgets keep growing while organizations keep falling further behind. We explore how tool creep has quietly shifted from a nuisance into an active attack surface, and why agentic AI is becoming the insider threat no one planned for. Izar shares a firsthand account of watching an AI agent attempt increasingly creative workarounds to escape a sandbox, revealing just how much risk lives in the gap between what agents are told to do and what they are actually capable of. At the end of the day, it comes back to fundamentals: define your agents' boundaries, limit their capabilities to only what they need, and stop confusing tool accumulation with security maturity.

If your AI agent were compromised today, would you even know it was the agent and not you?
