AI is forcing a new leadership challenge inside the enterprise, in which boards are expected to oversee a fast-moving technology they do not manage day to day, while executives are tasked with deploying it responsibly at speed. In this episode, Byron Loflin, Global Head of Board Advisory at Nasdaq, and WWT AVP of Global Cyber Advocacy Kate Kuehn explore what that means for modern governance — from board-level AI literacy and trust between directors and management to error reporting, escalation paths and the growing need for stronger oversight as AI systems become more capable and more autonomous.

AI security is entering a new phase where models like Anthropic's Mythos are becoming more capable and agentic systems can take action across enterprise environments. The risk is no longer just bad answers or hallucinations. It is speed, scope and blast radius. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT security leaders Jillian Nix-Anderson and Istvan Berko explore how organizations can secure themselves in the agentic AI era, where vulnerability discovery, response timelines and operational complexity are all accelerating. And they talk about how WWT's ARMOR framework helps teams structure the conversation across infrastructure, models, data, software development, operations and compliance.
