Agentic AI puts new pressure on identity and database security

What happened

Security operations teams are changing their approach in the world of artificial intelligence, adopting automation to turn signals into outcomes while maintaining the right context and control. This transition is complicated by a need to identify the proper role for AI, finding the right blend of human tradecraft and autonomous decision-making.

Database security providers such as Oracle Corp. are working with customers to support AI innovation , particularly with the adoption of agentic (AI that carries out multi-step tasks rather than answering one question) AI, without compromising data security. Oracle is an information technology consulting and software development company based in Redwood Shores, and its products and services include relational database management systems and database management systems.

“Customers are leaning in,” said Johnnie Konstantas (pictured), group vice president, Oracle Cloud Engineering, at Oracle. Konstantas spoke with Dave Vellante at Oracle’s “AI Cyberattacks Are Escalating: How to Secure Your Data Now” event , during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio.

They discussed a growing focus on identity controls for AI agents and how Oracle’s solutions are keeping data protection current as AI-powered attacks evolve. “Agentic AI brings to the fore this idea that an agent and several sub-agents functioning as a proxy of an individual can access data,” he told theCUBE.
