This episode features Geoffrey Mattson, CEO of SecureAuth, joined by co-host Sarah Cicchetti, Director of Product Management at Semperis.Geoffrey has spent decades building and leading companies at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, including MistNet.ai, an AI-native threat detection platform acquired by LogRhythm, and Xage Security, where he drove zero trust adoption across the U.S. military, global energy firms, and Fortune 500 enterprises. At SecureAuth, he leads a platform built around continuous, real-time identity authority across workforces, APIs, and AI agents.In this episode, Geoffrey argues that agents combine the speed of automation with the unpredictability of humans, making real-time per-action authorization the only viable control model. He discusses why “friendly fire” from well-meaning employees is the biggest threat vector right now, how MCP vendors are ignoring their own OAuth spec, and what a practical agent rollout with real guardrails actually looks like.This episode reframes authorization as the problem the identity industry has been deferring for years and can no longer avoid.Guest Bio Geoffrey Mattson is a serial entrepreneur and globally recognized cybersecurity and AI executive with decades of experience building market-defining companies and technologies that protect the world's most critical systems.He is currently CEO of SecureAuth, a leader in AI-driven identity and access management with its Continuous Authority, ensuring ongoing verification across workforces, customers, APIs, and AI agents. This is enabled through its Private Authority Platform, which puts authentication and authorization under your control through any deployment model (cloud, on prem, hybrid, air-gapped).Prior to SecureAuth, Mattson served as CEO of Xage Security, where he led the company in Zero Trust for critical environments from energy to agentic AI. Under his leadership, Xage achieved rapid adoption across the U.S. military, global energy firms, and Fortune 500 enterprises.Previously, Geoffrey Mattson was co-founder and CEO of MistNet.ai, an AI-native threat detection platform acquired by LogRhythm. He pioneered decentralized analytics and machine learning approaches for real-time cyber defense, and later served as SVP of Product at LogRhythm, driving global expansion and shaping the next generation of SIEM/SOAR solutions.Earlier, he held senior executive roles at Juniper Networks, overseeing a $2B product portfolio and leading major M&A efforts, and at Huawei Technologies as SVP and CTO for networking and data center platforms. His engineering leadership at Corona Networks, Caspian, and Bay Networks helped build foundational technologies in network and security architecture.Guest Quote “With agents, you have the power and the speed of an automated process with the unpredictability of a human. And in fact, we are seeing their behavior and their psychology makes them even perhaps less predictable than a human.”Time stamps 01:45 Meet Geoffrey Mattson: Serial Entrepreneur and Cybersecurity Executive 02:40 Why Identity Is Having a Moment 08:40 Defining Agent Identity 12:15 Behavioral Guardrails for Agents 14:37 Agent Identity Lifecycle 17:36 Just-in-Time vs. Standing Privilege 18:02 C-Suite Pressure and Friendly Fires 21:00 When Agents Live Off the Land 26:12 MCP, OAuth, and Token Pitfalls 28:04 Threat Models and Rollout Strategy 30:13 LLMs and Policy Authoring 31:23 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSponsor The HIP Podcast is brought to you by Semperis, the leader in identity-driven cyber resilience for the hybrid enterprise.

Send us Fan MailThe breach that takes down a company often does not kick in the front door. It walks in through a “simple” integration you set up months ago, powered by a token no one remembered to rotate. We start with a real-world Zapier-style scenario and unpack how researchers chained together a harmless-looking code block, an AWS Lambda environment, and a misconfigured IAM role to reach private repository files and ultimately an NPM token that could enable a supply chain attack.From there, we zoom out to the bigger cloud security problem: non-human identities. Service accounts, API keys, and OAuth tokens multiply fast, and they are frequently overprivileged, poorly tracked, and left active long after an integration is retired. We also talk about why SaaS-to-SaaS connections are so hard to secure, and why agentic AI makes visibility even more urgent. If you do not know what systems are connected, what data crosses those links, and who owns the risk, you are effectively trusting an invisible tunnel into your environment.To make this actionable, we lay out a four-phase third-party risk management (TPRM) framework you can apply immediately: build a vendor and integration inventory with tiering, run real due diligence (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, data access scope, subprocessors and fourth parties), lock protections into contracts (DPA language, right to audit, breach notification expectations), then enforce ongoing monitoring and governance with quarterly token reviews, logging, and incident response playbooks. If you are studying for the CISSP, you will also see exactly how this maps to Domain 1, Domain 3, Domain 4, and Domain 5.Subscribe for more practical CISSP training, share this with a teammate who owns vendor approvals, and leave a review so more security pros can find it.

Vendor Outcomes, Warranties, and the Shift from Risk Manager to Delivery Arm for MSPs

Business of Tech

Outcome-based managed security and attached vendor warranties are driving a new form of coverage-based vendor lock-in for MSPs and IT service providers. Vendors such as Intezer and SPECTRA are introducing performance guarantees, SLAs, and cyber resilience warranties that require MSPs to fully standardize on their architectures. This evolving model shifts accountability for enforcement and risk management from the individual MSP to the vendor's operating model, thereby altering the independent role of the MSP within client environments. A notable example is Intezer's Amplify Partner program, which asserts that its platform can process 100% of security alerts while escalating fewer than 2% for human review—claims the company frames as outcomes rather than product specifications. SPECTRA's use of certification-linked warranties, distributed via Ingram Micro, establishes channel-distributable assurance products with explicit conditions attached at every level. According to a Check Point report, while 77% of organizations report having adopted AI for cloud security, only 26% feel capable of enforcing those strategies, revealing a gap between security intent and operational ability. This structural shift is further illustrated by Merlin Cyber's FedRAMP managed service offering, Lumen's MDR enhancements targeting mid-market MSPs, and Trustlogix's addition of intent-based authorization controls. The FBI's announcement regarding Microsoft 365 OAuth token hijacking and recent vulnerabilities in widely used platforms like ConnectWise Automate underscore the real-world risks of automation platforms being targeted. These developments collectively point to growing operational complexity, rising compliance burdens, and the need for MSPs to separate their commitments from upstream vendor claims. For operators, the trend demands increased scrutiny of warranty terms, claim denial conditions, and SLA language before making any client-facing assurances. MSPs risk absorbing liability if they repeat vendor marketing claims without contractual clarity or operational control. Effective governance now requires independently produced, audit-ready evidence that documents compliance and enforcement separate from vendor portals. As assurance sales proliferate, the operational gap between acting as an underwriter versus a reseller will drive market differentiation, affecting both pricing structures and eligibility for vendor-backed coverage. 00:00 Channel-Ready Security 03:41 Policy vs. Reality 05:59 MFA Isn't Enough 09:12 Why Do We Care?    Supported by:  ScalePad Moovila

Alex Nahas is 28 years old and has already initiated a W3C web standard. Working as a backend engineer at Amazon, he ran into a problem most enterprises face: MCP requires OAuth, but most enterprise infrastructure runs on SAML. His solution was elegant: run the MCP server in client-side JavaScript, letting AI agents use the browser's existing authentication context rather than rebuilding auth from scratch. What started as an internal tool became an open source project, then a viral Hacker News post published while under anesthesia, and ultimately an invitation from Google and Microsoft to help shape WebMCP as an official web standard. In this episode, Alex and Tobi explore what WebMCP actually is, why the browser is the most underestimated sandbox in AI development, and what the agentic web might look like two years from now. Topics covered: What MCP actually is and why it's just an RPC framework at its core Why OAuth is a dealbreaker for most enterprise infrastructure How WebMCP lets AI agents operate within existing browser authentication The Hacker News post that started it all, and why Alex doesn't remember posting it How Chrome is natively building WebMCP support The chicken-and-egg problem of standard adoption Real-time bidding for agents and what it means for digital advertising Why agents don't need their own identity Where the agentic web is headed in the next two years

Episode 422 is the debut of Decoded by Identity at the Center, a new sub-series hosted by Jeff Steadman and Sean O'Dell dedicated to unpacking the specifications and standards powering IAM. Joining them is Pieter Kasselman, VP of Open Standards at Defakto and chair of the WIMSE working group. The conversation covers why traditional non-human identity approaches break at agentic scale, how SPIFFE and SPIRE enable short-lived automated credential provisioning without long-lived secrets, and why treating agents as workloads unlocks a decade of existing standards. Pieter walks through critical OAuth specs including JWT authorization grant, token exchange, client ID metadata, and the emerging transaction tokens draft. Sean connects these to practical gateway architecture, continuous access evaluation, and policy-based authorization. The episode closes with real-world deployment examples and a clear takeaway: the tools to secure agentic identity are available today.Episode Links:Pieter Kasselman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pieter-kasselman-0259862/AI Agent Authentication and Authorization: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-klrc-aiagent-auth/Workload Identity in Multi-system environments (WIMSE): https://ietf-wg-wimse.github.io/OAuth SPIFFE Client Authentication: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-spiffe-client-auth/Transaction Tokens: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-transaction-tokens/08/Agentic Identity Control Framework.

In this episode of Resilient Cyber, I sat down with Karl McGuinness — author of Control Plane and one of the sharpest voices working on identity in the agentic era — to unpack what most of the industry is still getting wrong about IAM for AI agents.Karl's thesis is a provocation: we spent two decades optimizing authentication and authorization, and we built that stack for human-paced execution. Agents remove the presence, pacing, and natural scope-limiting that made those controls work — and no amount of stronger credentials, tighter scopes, or faster JIT provisioning closes the structural gap. The real frontier isn't AuthN or AuthZ. It's delegation: how approved intent becomes bounded authority that stays governed across delegation chains, unfamiliar tools, consent expansion, revocation, and task termination.Chris and Karl dig into:↳ Why the industry optimized for the wrong question, and what changes when agents enter the loop ↳ The Execution Mandate — agents don't need your passport, they need your authority ↳ Why governing the stay matters more than governing the entry, and what continuous evaluation of authority looks like in practice ↳ Mission-Bound OAuth, including Karl's own pessimistic case against it ↳ AAuth vs. OAuth as the substrate for agentic identity, and what signal will tell us which one wins ↳ Why Mission Shaping is necessary but not sufficient when quiet expansion, headless execution, and stale state are in play ↳ Open-world OAuth, MCP, and first-contact trust — what the newer standards solve and the substrate gaps no draft is closing ↳ ID-JAG and Cross-App Access (XAA): why enterprise SaaS needs to abandon app-by-app OAuth islands ↳ The widening gap between IETF drafts and the "agentic IAM" being sold at RSA, and the minimum viable posture for teams running agents in production todayWhether you're a CISO, an identity architect, or a security leader trying to separate vendor narrative from substrate reality, this is a clear-eyed map of where agentic IAM actually is and where it has to go.

Shadow AI Shifts MSP Role: From AI Access to Proving Control and Recovery

Business of Tech

Play Episode Listen Later May 6, 2026 12:51


The episode identifies a structural shift in how AI adoption is being managed within IT environments: control and accountability are now central concerns, overtaking simple discussions of AI usage or feature deployment. Shadow AI—unmanaged or improperly governed AI agents—has emerged as a tangible risk vector. Government entities, such as the White House, and technology vendors including Microsoft, Cisco, and OpenAI are framing AI not only as a productivity tool but increasingly as a source of operational and security liabilities that demand more robust oversight. A key example comes from an incident reported by TechRepublic in which an AI agent within a coding workflow deleted both a production database and its backups, resulting in a prolonged, business-impacting recovery from a three-month-old backup. In parallel, the Hacker News highlighted findings from scans of one million exposed AI services, characterizing the market's current AI security posture as lacking, with many endpoints widely reachable unintentionally. Microsoft's public transition of Agent365 from preview to release was directly tied to fears over the risks associated with shadow AI, indicating industry recognition of autonomous agents as a new attack surface requiring governance. Supporting developments further validate this trend. Cisco's open sourcing of AI Bill of Materials (BOMs) tools, Wiz's tracking of non-human identities tied to AI workloads, and OpenAI's rollout of advanced account security all signal a growing industry emphasis on making AI deployments auditable and restrictable. Practices such as phishing-resistant authentication—driven by token theft campaigns analyzed by Microsoft—and continuous permission monitoring, as advocated by Material Security, are now increasingly viewed as necessary safeguards rather than optional enhancements. Providers like Enforcer and products such as Copilot Manager are explicitly focused on surfacing shadow AI usage and enforcing credential discipline, underlining the growing demand for proof-of-controls. MSPs and IT service providers now face greater operational complexity and contract risk tied to AI automation. Client expectations are shifting from baseline AI access to demonstrable governance—requiring non-human identity inventories, documented permission boundaries, and validated recovery frameworks for AI-powered workflows. Token harvesting and persistent OAuth grants increase the likelihood that MSPs will be held responsible not just for prevention, but for rapid containment, rollback, and producing evidence during security incidents. Failure to meet tightened SLAs around backup immutability, authentication protections, and agent visibility could soon become a material contract exposure. 00:00 Agents Gone Rogue 03:50 Govern the Agent 06:24 MSP at Risk 09:54 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  CometBackup ScalePad  Upcoming event:  The Pivotal Point of IT: Building Services for the AI-First Era Date: May 13 at 1p.m. EDT Register: https://go.acronis.com/davesobelaiera

The Buzz: ServiceNow bets on partners to close the gap between AI ambition and AI reality

Today’s headline news for Canadian IT solution providers: ServiceNow’s partner momentum is real – and the model is changing. Opening the Partner Day Keynote at Knowledge 2026 in Las Vegas Monday, SVP of Global Partnerships and Channels Michael Park led with a pointed Q1 headline: partner-sourced net new ACV doubled year-over-year, and partners delivered more than 50 per cent of Moveworks‘ net new business in the first 90 days following ServiceNow’s acquisition. The numbers put muscle behind a message the company is driving hard: this is a partner-led growth engine, not a direct play. The company rolled out two new tools to cement that model – a Partner Business Value Composer designed to help partners establish AI value baselines with customers, and a new Outcome Led Services methodology designed to move partners away from traditional time-and-materials billing toward monetizing business outcomes. As Constellation Research founder Ray Wang put it on stage: “The companies that will win are not the partners who try to rebuild the engine – they use the engines available to build the new car that doesn’t exist.” Three questions are opening every enterprise AI conversation – and governance is the one that’s sticking. Chief Customer Officer Chris Bedi laid out the framework partners should be using: How do I make AI real? How do I get to value faster? How do I govern AI everywhere? The governance question is emerging as the highest-urgency entry point – every enterprise is grappling with it whether or not they’ve articulated it. ServiceNow is positioning AI governance as the non-negotiable building block of any enterprise AI deployment, and is expected to announce a formal 100-day AI value guarantee at today’s Knowledge mainstage keynote – an offer partners will be able to use as a standardized starting point for customer engagements. The customer conversation is also shifting: “Pacesetters” that Bedi tracks as AI leaders are demonstrating 160 per cent ROI, and the story is no longer about cost reduction. Top-line revenue growth is what’s getting approvals right now. Nine in ten ServiceNow implementations go through partners – and the company is investing in that reality. Chief Learning Officer Jayney Howson put a sharp point on the session with a single stat: 90 per cent of all ServiceNow implementations are delivered by a partner. She framed the implication plainly: “You’re the last mile between buying an AI dream and seeing an AI reality.” In response, ServiceNow is making a significant investment in partner enablement – AI-assisted learning tools, a new simulated training environment, and a commitment to dramatically compress implementation training time from weeks to hours. The platform has approximately two million certified learners today, with a target of three million by end of next year. For Canadian partners evaluating where to deepen their ServiceNow practice, the message was hard to miss: the enablement infrastructure is being built, and the company is betting its partners are the ones who make the AI era real for enterprise customers. Also in brief: Nerdio launches Manager for MSP 7.0 as Microsoft cloud growth surges. The multi-tenant Microsoft management platform announced today that MSP ARR grew 51.8 per cent in 2025, with Microsoft 365 users inside the platform up more than 300 per cent year-over-year as MSPs expand their Microsoft practices beyond virtual desktop. Version 7.0 – in public preview as of today – adds four notable capabilities: a Prospect Tenant Assessment Wizard that scans a prospect’s Microsoft 365 environment and generates a client-ready security and efficiency gap report; native PSA integrations with Datto Autotask, ConnectWise, and Halo; Microsoft Purview compliance baselines; and a white-label reporting engine across Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft 365, and Azure. For MSPs trying to manage the whole Microsoft stack across dozens of tenants from a single pane of glass – and increasingly looking for tools that help them sell, not just manage – 7.0 has some practical additions worth a look. Anthropic takes a swing at the consulting industry. The company behind Claude announced today a $1.5 billion joint venture with Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, and Hellman & Friedman – not to license Claude, but to embed it inside enterprise workflows as a service. The model is being read as a direct shot at traditional consulting firms, and a clear signal about where AI services margin is flowing. For channel partners building AI practices, the venture is worth watching: Anthropic is structuring this as outcome-based deployment, backed by institutional capital that can go places traditional IT channel distribution cannot. ThreatDown makes a major channel pivot. The Malwarebytes spinoff announced last week that it has rebuilt its entire go-to-market model around a channel-first strategy – growing distribution from one per cent to 40 per cent of its business. The company is launching a new Nexus Partner Program with deal protection and margin incentives specifically designed for MSPs. For a cybersecurity brand that has been largely direct-led, this is a significant reversal and puts ThreatDown in direct competition for MSP mindshare with established channel-first security vendors. Cisco is acquiring Astrix Security for $350 million. The Israeli startup specializes in non-human identity security – securing the API connections, OAuth tokens, service accounts, and AI agent identities that are multiplying fast as agentic deployments scale. It’s a logical buy for Cisco as the attack surface around AI agents becomes one of the harder problems in enterprise security. Read Full Transcript TRANSCRIPT TO COME

Inside the Vercel Breach: Highlighting OAuth Token Risk  In a special edition of Cybersecurity Today, host Jim Love and guest Jamie Blasco (CTO, Nudge Security) discuss Vercel, a major developer hosting platform, and a breach tied to OAuth grants and shadow AI. Reporting shared by Contrast Security's David Lindner describes how a Context AI employee downloaded Roblox AutoFarm scripts, got infected with an info stealer, and attackers harvested credentials, compromised Context AI, then used an over-permissioned OAuth token from a Vercel employee who had signed up to Context AI with an enterprise account and clicked "allow all," with Vercel working with Mandiant on a breach allegedly being sold for $2 million. The episode emphasizes that MFA may not mitigate OAuth abuse, urges admin-managed consent, continuous inventory and auditing of OAuth grants, and better visibility into risky third-party app access across Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

Send us Fan Mail“Too dangerous to release” is a bold claim in cybersecurity, so we treat it like any other security headline: we interrogate it. We kick off our monthly news round-up by welcoming Catherine McNamara as a permanent co-host, then dig into Anthropic's Mythos preview model and Project Glasswing, positioned as an AI security and threat intelligence leap that can allegedly find zero-day vulnerabilities at a level the public shouldn't have yet. We ask the uncomfortable questions: where's the independent evidence, what does high-fidelity vulnerability discovery actually look like, and how do we avoid drowning in AI-generated noise?From there, the discussion gets messier in the way real security always is. We talk about tokens, paid code security reviews, and how incentives change when AI companies chase growth, IPO pressure, and government contracts. We also unpack why “ethical” restrictions are hard to enforce in practice and how rumors of source code leaks and fast rewrites complicate any promise of controlled access. If powerful agencies can use AI to speed up exploit discovery, even lower-severity bugs can become dangerous when chained into real attacks.Then we pivot to a concrete lesson every org can use: the Vercel breach. A supply chain compromise plus a single OAuth “Allow All” moment shows how identity and SaaS permissions failures can open the door to data exfiltration. We break down least privilege, blocking risky OAuth grants, shadow SaaS, and why a CASB can be the difference between a contained incident and a headline.We close by connecting AI layoffs to social and economic pressure, including CEO security fears, surprising UBI rhetoric, and Oracle laying off 30,000 people by email. If you care about AI, cloud security, appsec, and what these incentives are doing to the world, this one's for you.

You learned how to prompt. Great. Now what?Most business leaders have figured out how to get decent answers from ChatGPT or Claude. But there's a massive gap between writing good prompts and actually building things that run your business. The people closing that gap right now aren't developers. They're business people who figured out one thing: you don't need to code when your browser can do it for you.In this session, Chris Daigle will open his actual setup — Claude Code paired with a browser agent — and build real solutions live. Not slides. Not theory. You'll watch him set up OAuth integrations, automate LinkedIn workflows, and tackle the kind of backend tasks that normally require a developer. All through a browser. All without writing a single line of code manually.Chris calls this evolution "thinking in builds" — the next level beyond prompting. It's where you stop asking AI for answers and start asking it to do the work. And the tools to do it are shockingly accessible: a free browser agent and a $20 Claude subscription.Chris Daigle is the founder of ChiefAIOfficer.com, where he helps mid-market executives and their teams develop AI strategy, implement AI across departments, and become AI-enabled businesses. He trains Chief AI Officers, keynotes at YPO and Vistage events, and has been deep in the agentic AI space since its earliest days. Chris brings the rare combination of strategic thinking and hands-on building.In this session, you'll discover:- How to pair Claude Code with a browser agent like Comet to build real workflows — step by step- What "thinking in builds" means and why it's the skill that separates AI users from AI builders- How to automate OAuth setups, API integrations, and other backend tasks without touching code- Real examples of browser agent workflows you can copy and use immediately- Why even seasoned AI professionals are underestimating what browser agents can do right now- How to safely sandbox your AI agents so they don't destroy your production environment- The exact copy-paste workflow Chris uses to go from idea to working solution in minutesThis is the session where prompting graduates to building. If you've been watching everyone talk about agents but haven't actually deployed one yourself, this is your starting point.About Leveraging AIThe Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

Episode 319 covers a range of industry developments, primarily focusing on the recent Vercel security incident and the evolving landscape of AI-driven compliance. The hosts detail how a Vercel employee's use of a consumer-level Context AI plan led to a workspace compromise via a leaked OAuth token, eventually allowing attackers to access sensitive environment variables. This leads to a critical discussion about the SOC 2 provider Delve, with the hosts addressing allegations regarding "fake" compliance automation and the general limitations of auditing frameworks that do not inherently equate to true security. This episode also explores the future of the Pull Request (PR) flow, debating whether traditional human-led code reviews are "dead" due to the massive volume of code generated by AI agents. While they acknowledge that startups are moving toward autonomous commits, Seth argues that the PR concept is evolving into a system of agentic attestation and guardrails rather than disappearing entirely. The episode concludes with community survey results on this shift and a reminder about the hosts' upcoming training sessions in Singapore.

Use the OAuth method (your existing $20 ChatGPT or Anthropic subscription) to avoid expensive API costs, and always configure backup models. Memory problems are almost always caused by memory never being saved in the first place; add an auto-save instruction to the heartbeat file so it logs every 30 minutes. Organize your OpenClaw conversations into separate Telegram groups and topics with group-specific system prompts to avoid context bleed. Stronger models are meaningfully more resistant to prompt injection; pair that with least-access principles and agent-owned accounts for a solid security posture. Custom skills are the path to real automation — whenever you do something repeatedly, tell your OpenClaw to turn it into a skill.

Anthropic's Matt Samuels and Den Delimarsky - Claude & MCP: Building the USB-C for the Legal Tech Stack

This week, we sit down with two guests from Anthropic, Matt Samuels, Senior Product Counsel, and Den Delimarsky, a core maintainer of the Model Context Protocol, or MCP. Together, they unpack why MCP is drawing so much attention across the legal industry and why some are calling it the USB-C for AI. For law firms long burdened by disconnected systems, scattered data, and the infamous integration tax, MCP offers a shared framework for connecting models to the places where real work and real knowledge live, from iManage and Slack to email, data lakes, and internal tools.Den explains that the promise of MCP is not tied to one model or one vendor. Instead, it creates a standardized way for AI tools to securely interact with many different systems without forcing organizations to build one-off integrations every time they want to connect a new source. The conversation gets especially relevant for legal listeners when Greg and Marlene press on issues like permissions, ethical walls, least-privilege access, and auditability. The answer from Anthropic is reassuring. MCP is built to work with familiar enterprise security concepts such as OAuth and role-based access, meaning firms do not have to throw out their security model in order to explore new AI workflows.Matt brings the legal and operational lens, translating MCP into practical use cases for lawyers, legal ops teams, and security leaders. He describes how AI becomes far more useful once it has access to the systems lawyers already rely on every day, while still operating within carefully defined administrative controls. The discussion highlights a key shift in how firms should think about AI. This is no longer about asking a chatbot a clever question and getting a polished paragraph back. With MCP, firms are moving toward systems where AI can retrieve, correlate, summarize, draft, and support actions across multiple platforms, all while staying inside the guardrails set by the organization.The episode also explores how MCP fits into the rise of agentic workflows, apps, plugins, and skills. Rather than treating AI as a static assistant, Anthropic describes a future where these tools become active participants in legal work, pulling together information from multiple sources, helping assemble case timelines, drafting notes into a shared document, and supporting lawyers in a far more integrated workspace. The conversation around skills is especially useful for firms thinking about standard operating procedures, preferred drafting styles, escalation rules, and repeatable work product. Skills and MCP do different jobs, but together they start to look like the operating system for structured legal workflows.By the end of the conversation, one message comes through clearly. The legal profession is still early in this shift, but the pace is picking up fast. Both Matt and Den encourage listeners to stop treating these tools like abstract future concepts and start experimenting with them now. At the same time, they offer an important note of caution. As much as these systems promise speed and efficiency, lawyers still need to protect the craft of lawyering, their judgment, and the human choices that matter most. For firms trying to make sense of where AI is headed next, this episode offers a grounded and practical look at the infrastructure layer that could shape what comes next.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | Substack[Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We're preparing a new update for the Semaphore MCP server that will make it easier for developers to connect AI agents and developer tools.The focus of this update is authentication.Today, connecting an agent to the MCP server typically requires using a long-lived API token. While this works well, it also means developers need to generate credentials, store them in configuration files, and manage them manually.In our next release, coming next week, we're introducing OAuth authentication support for the MCP server.This will make connecting agents and developer tools significantly simpler.Instead of generating and storing API tokens, developers will be able to authenticate through a familiar OAuth flow. When configuring an agent, a browser window opens, you log in, and approve access to the MCP server. Once approved, the connection is established automatically.This approach removes the need to manage long-lived credentials and makes integrations easier to set up.It also improves compatibility with modern agentic development tools. Some tools have limitations when working with static API tokens, and OAuth removes those barriers.Read more on our blog.Pete MiloravacThe Semaphore Teamhttps://semaphore.io This is a public episode.

Shadow IT has evolved. Now it’s Shadow SaaS. Shadow AI. And it’s everywhere. In this week's episode of the KuppingerCole Analyst Chat, Matthias welcomes Matthew Gardiner for his first appearance to unpack one of the fastest-growing security domains: SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) and why that name may already be too narrow. Today’s organizations run on hundreds of SaaS applications. Many are sanctioned. Many aren’t. Some are connected via OAuth. Others are quietly leaking data through AI tools. And most security teams don’t have full visibility. In this conversation, we explore:✅ What SSPM actually means (and why the “PM” might be limiting)✅ How Shadow IT evolved into Shadow SaaS and Shadow AI✅ The intersection of identity and cybersecurity in SaaS environments✅ Misconfiguration risks, MFA bypass, OAuth sprawl & SaaS drift✅ Why continuous monitoring beats periodic audits✅ CASB vs SSPM vs CNAPP — where the lines blur✅ The growing governance challenge in AI-powered SaaS✅ Why SaaS security can’t be ignored anymore If your organization uses SaaS (spoiler: it does), this discussion is not optional.

Modernizing Health IT: CMS Pledges, AI and the Trust Foundation with Amy Gleason

In this episode of The Dish on Health IT, host Tony Schueth is joined by co-host Alix Goss and special guest Amy Gleason, Strategic Advisor to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Administrator of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Service, for a wide-ranging discussion on how health IT modernization is evolving under a pledge-driven, incentive-backed federal strategy.The conversation begins not with policy, but with lived experience.From Emergency Room to Interoperability AdvocateAmy shares how her early career as an emergency room nurse exposed the dangers of fragmented information. Providers were expected to make critical decisions without access to complete patient histories, while patients, often in pain or distress, were unrealistically asked to recall complex medical details.That professional frustration became deeply personal when her daughter went more than a year without diagnosis for a rare autoimmune disease, juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Multiple specialists saw pieces of the puzzle, but no one could see the full picture across charts and settings. Amy reflects that if today's AI tools had been applied to her daughter's complete longitudinal record, the condition may have surfaced sooner.That experience shaped her philosophy. Technology must converge with policy and trust in ways that tangibly improve care.Why Pledges Instead of Rules?Tony presses on a central theme. Amy has argued that we cannot regulate our way to success. Why pursue voluntary pledges instead of federal rulemaking?Amy explains her frustration returning to government in 2025 to find interoperability policies she helped draft in 2020 still not fully effective until 2027. Seven years is an eternity in technology. Meanwhile, the industry had technically complied with numerous mandates including Meaningful Use, Cures Act APIs and CMS interoperability rules, yet many workflows still felt broken.In her view, regulation created a floor but not always real transformation.The CMS Health Tech Ecosystem Pledge was launched as a different model. The federal government used its convening power to articulate a clear vision and challenge industry to deliver minimum viable products within six to twelve months rather than years.Initially announced with roughly 60 companies, the pledge initiative has grown to more than 600 participants collaborating in working groups. The three initial patient-focused use cases include:Improving data interoperability“Killing the clipboard” through digital identity and QR-based sharingLeveraging conversational AI and personalized recommendations for chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesityAmy describes live demonstrations at a Connectathon showing OAuth-enabled data retrieval, QR ingestion into EHR workflows and AI-powered recommendations built on patient data. The goal is not perfection by the first milestone, but real-world minimum viable functionality that can iteratively improve.Alix notes that from the standards community perspective, this approach feels aligned with long-standing calls for industry-driven collaboration, though it remains early to measure widespread impact.Carrots, Sticks and Rural HealthThe discussion turns to incentives.Amy outlines the administration's carrots and sticks strategy:Stick: Enforcement of information blocking, with penalties up to $2 million per occurrenceCarrots: Financial incentives such as the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program and the CMS ACCESS Model, which pays for technology-enabled outcomesThe Rural Health Transformation Program directs money to states with expectations that ecosystem-aligned interoperability and app participation be incorporated into funding proposals. CMS retains oversight and clawback authority to ensure funds support rural providers.The ACCESS Model represents a significant shift. Technology-enabled care platforms can register as Medicare Part B providers and be paid for measurable outcomes in tracks such as cardiometabolic disease, musculoskeletal conditions and behavioral health. Providers remain in the loop and receive compensation for referral and care plan oversight.Alix underscores that rural providers face steep financial and workforce constraints. Standards participation, implementation and technology upgrades require resources that are often scarce. The success of these incentives will depend on whether they reduce burden rather than add to it.AI: Evolution, Risk and RealityAI becomes a central thread of the episode.Amy compares AI adoption to autonomous vehicle models. Some scenarios allow tightly controlled automation, such as medication refills, while others require a human in the loop for higher-risk decisions. She points to a Utah prescription refill pilot as an example of bounded automation, where malpractice coverage and clearly defined use cases mitigate risk.When Tony asks who owns risk in this evolving landscape, Amy emphasizes the need for light but clear regulatory pathways rather than fragmented state-by-state oversight.Patients, she notes, are already there. Millions are asking health-related questions weekly through AI tools. The more pressing issue is ensuring those tools are grounded in structured medical data rather than incomplete memory or unverified inputs.She shares a striking story. Her daughter was excluded from a clinical trial due to a misclassification of ulcerative colitis. By uploading her records into an AI model, they identified a more precise diagnosis, microscopic lymphocytic colitis, which did not disqualify her from the trial. For Amy, this demonstrates both the power and inevitability of AI use.Alix adds caution. AI is only as strong as the data beneath it. Dirty, inconsistent and poorly structured data limits performance. Standards and terminologies remain essential to fuel high-fidelity models and safeguard trust.FHIR, Deregulation and the Data FoundationThe conversation addresses an emerging tension. If regulatory burdens are being reduced, does that signal less need for structured standards like FHIR?Amy candidly admits she initially wondered whether AI might reduce the need for FHIR altogether. After discussions with labs and technologists, she concluded the opposite. Standardized data dramatically improves AI performance and reduces error.Deregulation is about removing unnecessary burden, not abandoning foundational data structures.Alix reinforces that FHIR enables discrete, normalized data capture that supports both legacy transactions and AI evolution. While future innovations may emerge, today FHIR remains the backbone for scalable interoperability.Prior Authorization and HIPAA ModernizationThe episode dives into prior authorization modernization across medical and pharmacy domains.Amy notes growing interest among pledge participants to expand into pharmacy prior authorization testing, diagnostic imaging, real-time benefit checks and bulk FHIR performance testing.Alix provides insight into ongoing work within the Designated Standards Maintenance Organizations to incorporate FHIR-based approaches into HIPAA-named standards, particularly for prior authorization. She highlights testing beyond Connectathons, including implementer communities and real-world pilot efforts.Both stress the importance of public comment periods and industry engagement, describing participation as a civic responsibility for health IT professionals.Trust as the Core EnablerThe final segment centers on trust.Amy explains that the ecosystem initiative aims to reinforce trust through:Stronger digital identity verification such as Clear, ID.me and Login.govCertification frameworks such as CARIN and DIME for patient-facing appsA new national provider directory to replace fragmented provider data sourcesTransparency dashboards showing data requests, volumes and purposeRather than replacing frameworks like TEFCA, she describes the pledge model as an accelerator layered above the regulatory floor.Transparency acts as sunlight, enabling visibility into who is accessing data and for what purpose.Final TakeawaysIn closing, Amy urges providers not to sit on the sidelines. Too often, she says, providers feel change is imposed on them. The pledge environment is designed as an open forum where they can directly shape what works or does not work in real workflows.Alix echoes the call. Standards require participation. Organizations must allocate budget and staff to engage, comment and collaborate. It truly takes a village.Tony concludes by framing the episode's core message. Regulation establishes baseline expectations, but voluntary movements can demonstrate what is possible before mandates reach the Federal Register.Across pledges, payment reform, AI evolution and trust frameworks, the episode underscores a consistent theme. Modernization in health IT depends not only on policy direction, but on shared accountability and active participation from every stakeholder in the ecosystem.Listeners are reminded that POCP is available to support organizations in understanding the implications of federal initiatives, enforcement priorities and their strategic implications.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Lars van der Zande, founder and CEO/technical architect of Inkwell Finance, for what Lars describes as his first-ever podcast appearance. The conversation covers a wide range of blockchain infrastructure topics, including Lars's work with Sui and Solana blockchains, the innovative capabilities of Ika's programmatic wallets and blockchain of signatures, and how Inkwell Finance is building revenue-based financing solutions for on-chain entities—from AI agents to protocols. They explore the evolving landscape of crypto regulation, the merging of traditional finance with blockchain technology, the future of decentralized legal systems, and how the user experience barrier is being lowered through technologies that eliminate constant transaction signing. Lars also discusses Inkwell's embedded financing approach and their pre-seed fundraising round.Links mentioned:- Inkwell's website: inkwell.finance- Inkwell on Twitter: @__inkwell- Lars on Twitter: @LMVDZandeTimestamps00:00 Introduction to Inkwell Finance and Technical Architecture02:06 Understanding Sui and Solana: Blockchain Dynamics05:55 The Role of Ika in Inkwell Finance11:51 Leviathan: Revenue Generation and Financing in Crypto17:38 The Future of AI Agents and Programmatic Wallets23:23 Smart Contracts: Legal Implications and Future Directions25:06 The Future of Inqvil Finance25:42 Decentralization and Its Evolution27:32 The Merging of Traditional and Crypto Systems29:33 Global Financial Dynamics and Market Reactions31:48 The Collapse of Traditional Financial Systems32:46 Jurisdictional Shifts in the Crypto World33:59 Legal Systems and Blockchain Integration35:57 On-Chain Credit and Financial Opportunities39:29 The Role of AI in Finance41:30 Learning from Peer-to-Peer Lending History43:14 Disruption in Insurance and Risk Management44:54 On-Chain vs Off-Chain Data46:54 The Evolution of the Internet and Blockchain49:12 Future Subscription Models in BlockchainKey Insights1. Ika's Revolutionary Blockchain Signature Technology: Lars discovered Ika, a blockchain of signatures built on Sui that enables any blockchain transaction to be signed without revealing the underlying message. Using patented 2PC MPC technology, Ika splits key shares across validators and encrypts them in transit, performing complex cryptographic operations that allow smart contracts on Sui to generate signatures for transactions on any other blockchain. This eliminates the need to build separate smart contracts on each blockchain, fundamentally changing how cross-chain interactions work and opening possibilities for truly interoperable decentralized applications.2. Programmatic Wallets vs Traditional Wallets: Traditional wallets like MetaMask require manual user approval for every transaction through a front-end interface, but Ika's D-wallet introduces programmatic wallets with policy-based controls embedded in smart contracts. These wallets can execute transactions based on predetermined conditions checked against on-chain data like Oracle prices, without requiring individual user signatures. For example, a Bitcoin D-wallet can hold native Bitcoin without wrapping or bridging to a custodian, and smart contract policies determine when and how that Bitcoin can be transferred, creating unprecedented security and automation possibilities for decentralized finance.3. Inkwell's Revenue-Based Financing Model: Inkwell Finance is building Leviathan, a revenue-based financing platform for on-chain entities including protocols, AI agents, and individual traders with verifiable track records. Borrowers receive capital based on their on-chain performance metrics like sharp ratio and drawdown, with loan repayment automatically deducted from their revenue stream. The profit split structure allocates approximately 60% to borrowers, 30% to lenders, and 10% split between Inkwell and integrating platforms. This creates a sustainable lending model where flight risk is minimized through D-wallet policy controls that restrict how borrowed capital can be used.4. Wallet-as-a-Protocol and the Future of User Experience: The crypto industry is moving toward embedded wallet solutions that eliminate the friction of traditional wallet management, with Wallet-as-a-Protocol representing the next evolution beyond services like Privy and Dynamic. Unlike current embedded wallets that lock users into specific applications, Wallet-as-a-Protocol enables single sign-on across multiple applications while users maintain control of their keys. Combined with app-sponsored gas fees, this approach allows non-crypto-native users to interact with blockchain applications without knowing they're using crypto, removing the biggest barrier to mainstream adoption and creating web2-like user experiences on web3 infrastructure.5. AI Agents as Financial Entities: AI agents are emerging as revenue-generating entities with on-chain transaction histories that create verifiable track records for creditworthiness assessment. Inkwell Finance is specifically targeting this market, recognizing that AI agents will need wallets and capital to operate effectively. The programmatic nature of D-wallets pairs perfectly with AI agents, as policy controls can restrict agent behavior to specific smart contract interactions, preventing unauthorized fund transfers while allowing automated trading or revenue generation. This creates a new category of borrower that operates 24/7 with completely transparent performance metrics, fundamentally different from traditional loan recipients.6. Cross-Chain Liquidity Without Asset Transfer: Ika's technology enables users to take loans against revenue generated on one blockchain and deploy that capital on entirely different blockchains without moving their original liquidity positions. For instance, someone earning yield on Sui's Fusol protocol could borrow against that revenue stream and deploy capital on Solana opportunities, effectively creating multiple on-chain businesses that generate their own credit scores and revenue to service debt. This ability to read state across different blockchains from within smart contracts opens possibilities for multi-chain strategies that don't require withdrawing capital from productive positions, maximizing capital efficiency across the entire crypto ecosystem.7. The Convergence of Traditional Finance and Crypto Infrastructure: The regulatory landscape is rapidly evolving with initiatives like the Genius Act and Clarity Act creating frameworks where traditional financial systems merge with crypto infrastructure through mechanisms like stablecoins backed by US treasuries. Companies are increasingly establishing entities in the United States to access capital networks and Delaware's established legal framework while issuing tokens through jurisdictions like Switzerland. This hybrid approach, combined with emerging concepts like Gabriel Shapiro's "cybernetic agreements" that make smart contract parameters legally enforceable in traditional courts, suggests the future isn't pure decentralization but rather a sophisticated integration of on-chain and off-chain legal and financial systems.

One year ago, Anthropic launched the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—a simple, open standard to connect AI applications to the data and tools they need. Today, MCP has exploded from a local-only experiment into the de facto protocol for agentic systems, adopted by OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Block, and hundreds of enterprises building internal agents at scale. And now, MCP is joining the newly formed Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, alongside Block's Goose coding agent, with founding members spanning the biggest names in AI and cloud infrastructure.We sat down with David Soria Parra (MCP lead, Anthropic), Nick Cooper (OpenAI), Brad Howes (Block / Goose), and Jim Zemlin (Linux Foundation CEO) to dig into the one-year journey of MCP—from Thanksgiving hacking sessions and the first remote authentication spec to long-running tasks, MCP Apps, and the rise of agent-to-agent communication—and the behind-the-scenes story of how three competitive AI labs came together to donate their protocols and agents to a neutral foundation, why enterprises are deploying MCP servers faster than anyone expected (most of it invisible, internal, and at massive scale), what it takes to design a protocol that works for both simple tool calls and complex multi-agent orchestration, how the foundation will balance taste-making (curating meaningful projects) with openness (avoiding vendor lock-in), and the 2025 vision: MCP as the communication layer for asynchronous, long-running agents that work while you sleep, discover and install their own tools, and unlock the next order of magnitude in AI productivity.We discuss:* The one-year MCP journey: from local stdio servers to remote HTTP streaming, OAuth 2.1 authentication (and the enterprise lessons learned), long-running tasks, and MCP Apps (iframes for richer UI)* Why MCP adoption is exploding internally at enterprises: invisible, internal servers connecting agents to Slack, Linear, proprietary data, and compliance-heavy workflows (financial services, healthcare)* The authentication evolution: separating resource servers from identity providers, dynamic client registration, and why the March spec wasn't enterprise-ready (and how June fixed it)* How Anthropic dogfoods MCP: internal gateway, custom servers for Slack summaries and employee surveys, and why MCP was born from “how do I scale dev tooling faster than the company grows?”* Tasks: the new primitive for long-running, asynchronous agent operations—why tools aren't enough, how tasks enable deep research and agent-to-agent handoffs, and the design choice to make tasks a “container” (not just async tools)* MCP Apps: why iframes, how to handle styles and branding, seat selection and shopping UIs as the killer use case, and the collaboration with OpenAI to build a common standard* The registry problem: official registry vs. curated sub-registries (Smithery, GitHub), trust levels, model-driven discovery, and why MCP needs “npm for agents” (but with signatures and HIPAA/financial compliance)* The founding story of AAIF: how Anthropic, OpenAI, and Block came together (spoiler: they didn't know each other were talking to Linux Foundation), why neutrality matters, and how Jim Zemlin has never seen this much day-one inbound interest in 22 years—David Soria Parra (Anthropic / MCP)* MCP: https://modelcontextprotocol.io* https://uk.linkedin.com/in/david-soria-parra-4a78b3a* https://x.com/dsp_Nick Cooper (OpenAI)* X: https://x.com/nicoaicoprBrad Howes (Block / Goose)* Goose: https://github.com/block/gooseJim Zemlin (Linux Foundation)* LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zemlin/Agentic AI Foundation* https://agenticai.foundationFull Video EpisodeTimestamps00:00:00 Introduction: MCP's First Year and Foundation Launch00:01:17 MCP's Journey: From Launch to Industry Standard00:02:06 Protocol Evolution: Remote Servers and Authentication00:08:52 Enterprise Authentication and Financial Services00:11:42 Transport Layer Challenges: HTTP Streaming and Scalability00:15:37 Standards Development: Collaboration with Tech Giants00:34:27 Long-Running Tasks: The Future of Async Agents00:30:41 Discovery and Registries: Building the MCP Ecosystem00:30:54 MCP Apps and UI: Beyond Text Interfaces00:26:55 Internal Adoption: How Anthropic Uses MCP00:23:15 Skills vs MCP: Complementary Not Competing00:36:16 Community Events and Enterprise Learnings01:03:31 Foundation Formation: Why Now and Why Together01:07:38 Linux Foundation Partnership: Structure and Governance01:11:13 Goose as Reference Implementation01:17:28 Principles Over Roadmaps: Composability and Quality01:21:02 Foundation Value Proposition: Why Contribute01:27:49 Practical Investments: Events, Tools, and Community01:34:58 Looking Ahead: Async Agents and Real Impact Get full access to Latent.Space at www.latent.space/subscribe

Interview Segment: Tony Kelly Illuminating Data Blind Spots As data sprawls across clouds and collaboration tools, shadow data and fragmented controls have become some of the biggest blind spots in enterprise security. In this segment, we'll unpack how Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) helps organizations regain visibility and control over their most sensitive assets. Our guest will break down how DSPM differs from adjacent technologies like DLP, CSPM, and DSP, and how it integrates into broader Zero Trust and cloud security strategies. We'll also explore how compliance and regulatory pressures are shaping the next evolution of the DSPM market—and what security leaders should be doing now to prepare. Segment Resources: https://static.fortra.com/corporate/pdfs/brochure/fta-corp-fortra-dspm-br.pdf This segment is sponsored by Fortra. Visit https://securityweekly.com/fortra to learn more about them! Topic Segment: We've got passkeys, now what? Over this year on this podcast, we've talked a lot about infostealers. Passkeys are a clear solution to implementing phishing and theft-resistant authentication, but what about all these infostealers stealing OAuth keys and refresh tokens? As long as session hijacking is as simple as moving a cookie from one machine to another, securing authentication seems like solving only half the problem. Locking the front door, but leaving a side door unlocked. After doing some research, it appears that there has been some work on this front, including a few standards that have been introduced: DBSC (Device Bound Session Credentials) for browsers DPoP (Demonstrating Proof of Possession) for OAuth applications We'll address a few key questions in this segment: 1. how do these new standards help stop token theft? 2. how broadly have they been adopted?

The MCP standard gave rise to dreams of interconnected agents and nightmares of what those interconnected agents would do with unfettered access to APIs, data, and local systems. Aaron Parecki explains how OAuth's new Client ID Metadata Documents spec provides more security for MCPs and the reasons why the behavior and design of MCPs required a new spec like this.
