  "account": "Artificial intelligence is transforming enterprises into factories of intelligence and creating new attack surfaces. The security models that once worked for traditional workloads are now inadequate for AI factories, where data is continuously generated, transformed, and consumed across distributed environments, said Dave Vellante, chief analyst at theCUBE Research.\n\nDell Technologies Inc. and Intel Corp. are taking a proactive approach to securing AI infrastructure and building data protection from the ground up. Steve Kenniston, senior cybersecurity evangelist for portfolio marketing at Dell, emphasized that AI brings new challenges, such as model inferencing, training data, and prompt injection, which require different security considerations.\n\nAI agents, which can act autonomously, are also becoming more common in enterprise environments. Mukund Khatri, fellow and vice president of systems architecture at Dell, noted that these agents need to be protected like code, as they essentially contain data. The increasing autonomy of agents raises new security concerns, as their actions and access could potentially compromise sensitive data and systems.\n\nLarge language models may provide inaccurate information, but agents can take incorrect actions, which poses a more significant threat. Traditional security models based on perimeter defense, static policy enforcement, and human-speed response are becoming insufficient in this rapidly evolving landscape.\n\nAI can facilitate faster identification of vulnerabilities and the development of more sophisticated attacks, shrinking the time between vulnerability discovery and active exploitation. As AI workloads introduce complexity that most security teams are not prepared to handle, the deployment of least-privilege access and extending governance concepts from human identities to agents will be crucial to ensure safer operations.",
  "summary": "Artificial intelligence is making companies into factories of intelligence. As AI becomes a new workload, it has also become a new attack surface. The factory model that enterprises are building to produce knowledge at scale was not designed with security at its center. Energy, compute and data go in. Intelligence in the form of tokens […] The post Security becomes the control plane for…",
