Solving Prompt Injection & Shadow AI for AI Malware

About this episode

The episode discusses the security risks of AI agents and prompt injection with Jasson Casey from Beyond Identity.

Are AI agents functioning like adversarial malware inside your network? In this episode of the Cloud Security Podcast, Ashish sits down with Jasson Casey , Co-founder and CEO of Beyond Identity , to speak about the security risks introduced by Shadow AI and code assistants .Jasson explains why an AI agent executing a tool is the perfect opportunity for prompt injection or proprietary data exfiltration comparing unchecked agents to Ron Burgundy reading whatever is on the teleprompter . We discuss the "barbell" reaction of CISOs (either blocking AI entirely or blindly accepting the risk) and why placing device-bound identity at the core of your security stack is the only way to safely enable AI speed .From an $80,000 stolen Anthropic key nightmare on Reddit to a red-team exercise that cloned voices using Hugging Face models in just four hours, this episode highlights the tangible threats and solutions of the AI era .
