David Linthicum recommends a new video by Mike Gibbs (Go Cloud Careers) laying out the 10 core responsibilities of the AI security architect. The framing: this is not a job of configuring security tools, but of understanding the business, identifying the risks that matter, designing secure architectures across models, data, infrastructure, and applications, and translating it all into executive-ready business language.
The section on securing AI agents is called especially timely, as many organizations deploy agentic AI without clear boundaries, governance, or incident response plans. The distinction that architects decide what should be built while engineers build it is highlighted as key for companies to internalize.
