Modern Identity Governance and Clean Recovery Can Secure AI Agents
Tech Field Day, Tuesday, September 29th, 2026
Commvault's Vidya Shankaran says securing AI agents starts with centralized identity governance and tested clean recovery.
On a Tech Field Day Podcast episode presented by Commvault, Vidya Shankaran joins delegates Karen Lopez and Shala Warner to discuss workforce security as AI agents move behind the firewall.
They recommend forming an AI Center of Excellence to set governance, identity and access, controlled through a centralized IAM tool, while recognizing that tool becomes a new attack surface.
The first step is a tested data protection strategy enabling clean recovery of complete data and applications after a breach, a theme Commvault will expand on at its SHIFT event in November.
