Jonathan CareGUEST
Not just this incident, but as we deploy agents in our offices and our whatever, in any kind of enterprise.

Alexey BalaganskyGUEST
If I may intervene, kind of before we go too deep into the identity discussions, which is great, by the way.

Alexey BalaganskyGUEST
But we should not make the mistake that again, kind of, and deceive our listeners that we are going to give some new totally unique recommendations how to deal with non-human identity like we've talked about that for years and it's still very much open discussion right what we definitely should avoid is to think that this whole incident was a sign of something dramatically new happening like you know kind of if you allow me to humor this whole tiger analogy a little bit longer The fact that a tiger has escaped somewhere, things like that happen.

Alexey BalaganskyGUEST
We have zoos and tigers do escape occasionally, but it does not mean that suddenly everybody should be selling like tiger repellent and specific tools just to protect from them.

Alexey BalaganskyGUEST
You always have to understand every risk as a combination of probability and the impact, right? The probability of such incident happening within your existing environment is probably not very high unless you are open AI, right? Or an AI research institution of similar caliber.

Alexey BalaganskyGUEST
So while we might kind of talk a lot about how we should have prevented that, most of our listeners will probably be interested here in the other end of the story, right? How do they defend from those escaping tigers if something like that happens on their street? Does it have to be focused on identities alone, or should we actually think defense in depth, like we've talked about for probably at least 20 years?
