The Biggest AI Security Problem Isn't the Model. It's This. | Devvret Rishi

We define agents as just really, like, models with access. So, like, access to tools or APIs that can start to do work inside an organization. Once these become agents, unseen and visible to the humans, talking to each other, transferring data to each other. You're really vulnerable because you don't know where the data is going beyond agents having access to tools and to databases. Agents are talking Where do you see this agent economy going? Yeah. There's a question about, like, will AI agents and AI, like, cause job displacement. AI may not, but someone who knows AI. We're gonna talk about Rubrik. And we're gonna talk about, Rubrik Agent Cloud. Can you start by introducing yourself to listeners? Tell us, little of your background so far as it's relevant, particularly education and, what you were doing before Rubik. Yeah. I can start at the beginning maybe, and I'll just say that, I'm deaf. So I was one of the cofounders and CEO for Predevase, which was a generative AI infrastructure company. We started right before the beginning of the Gen AI wave in 2021, and really were helping organizations build and then deploy the precursor to large language models, which were really pretrained deep learning models. It came out of our experience at Uber and Google, which is where I and my cofounders worked. You know, prior to starting the company, I was at Google for about five years. Before that, I was, always in the AI space doing my masters and others kind of in core computer science and stat. So that's really my background. My company was acquired by Rubrik last summer. And so we actually joined forces with kind of our core machine learning and LLM infrastructure platform. So we were the model backbone that drove deployments of AI in Fortune 500 organizations, faster tech forward moving companies as well. So we really had a really broad gamut. And when we joined forces with Rubrik, the core idea was we wanted to take the platform we had built and mix in what Rubrik did really well. Rubrik is, a data and cyber resilience company. It would start off its core offerings around making sure that businesses were resilient to downtime and data, layered on security offerings for cyber. And with the acquisition of my company, PredaBase, we're building kind of the combination of, like, our AI platform plus data and identity security into a net new offering we call the Rubrik agent cloud. The core goal and the observation that we had is that AI is coming very quickly. The AI tools and models are actually getting quite good very quickly as well. And so people are starting to adopt these tools en masse. But the thing that's actually slowing down their ability to deliver ROI is that I think that there isn't a great framework to manage the risk of what these agents can do inside of an organization. So that's the challenge …
