Security Teams Say AI Has Quietly Hijacked Every Security Conversation
Ian-Cubeless · reddit · 2026-08-18
A security practitioner on Reddit observes that in the past couple of months, security discussions have shifted from cloud and patching to AI accountability: who approved a tool, what it touches, and how to audit a system making its own calls.
Existing frameworks mostly assume a human deliberately logged in and performed the action — a premise that no longer holds with agents. His team is now "reacting meeting to meeting." He asks whether everyone's roadmap got hijacked at the same time, or whether his team is just behind.
