Three conversations with the people behind the calm

Good security doesn’t announce itself. It clears the path for AI and quietly makes sure nothing wanders off it. CISOs@Work, hosted by Gerald Auger, PhD from Simply Cyber, is a three-part series that spotlights security leaders behind the calm. Each episode starts with a real AI scenario — access, autonomy, or ownership — and follows it to the CISO’s perspective on moving faster with AI without letting anything get past you.

AI Agent Autonomy vs. Human Oversight: How CISOs Keep Control

How can security leaders give AI agents more autonomy without losing oversight and accountability? In this episode of CISOs at Work, host Gerald Auger, PhD talks with Maxine Harrison, Chief Information Security Officer at Tabcorp. They cover how to set AI agent policy, where human-in-the-loop controls belong, and why autonomy without an owner is the real risk.
