Cyber Resilience And Global Adoption From Josh Chitwood, Senior Sales Engineer’s POV Secure Insights With NDK Cyber podcast

34:24

Send us a text In this episode of Secure Insights , we sit down with Ankur Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Straiker, to explore the next generation of AI innovation, far beyond chatbots and simple prompts. We speak about how to stay secured when using intelligent agents that not only converse but act — booking your holidays, managing your calendar, arranging travel, and handling real-world tasks autonomously. Ankur shares his perspective on the shift from static AI tools to dynamic, proactive agents — and the security implications that come with it. As AI becomes more embedded in our daily lives, what are the new risks? How do we manage trust, access, and autonomy at scale? And what skills do the next generation of AI professionals need to have a lasting, exciting career. We unpack the movement happening beneath the surface of the AI industry: agent-based systems, context-aware decision making, and the security frameworks needed to support this transformation.
