The perimeter has shifted
The perimeter isn’t where you left it. Agents are on the move, APIs are on fire, and your infrastructure is about as ready for this as a fax machine is for a DDoS. In this week's episode, Lori, Joel and F5 Field CISO, Chuck Herrin, are talking guardrails—real ones—for the age of agentic AI.
Because while your dashboards were busy sipping metrics, the vendors got serious. Recent product launches show a clear pivot toward AI-specific defenses and infrastructure support like: an AI firewall, AI runtime protection, semantic observability, and AI policy and rule generation.
Turns out, stateless APIs weren’t built for recursive agents with infinite retries and zero chill. If your architecture still thinks AI means ‘autocomplete,’ you’re going to want to tune in for actionable steps to stay ahead in an AI-dominated future. It’s not just about security. It’s survival. Let’s go.
