Above Security CEO: AI agents make insider risk faster and harder to judge
TechNadu · x · 2026-08-27
In a TechNadu interview, Aviv Nahum, CEO and co-founder of Above Security, discusses how AI agents reshape insider risk:
- "The most dangerous activity rarely looks obviously malicious. It looks like normal business" — agent-driven automation is fast and hard to judge with traditional anomaly detection.
- Legacy DLP and UEBA tools struggle with agent behavior.
- Business context changes risk decisions; teams need to reason about intent, not just flag anomalies.
- Security, HR, and legal should agree on a response model before an incident happens.
