Danny Brickman, Oasis Security
Danny Brickman of Oasis Security, chief executive officer and co-founder, appears in a special theCUBE conversation as part of the theCUBEd Awards coverage and receives the award for artificial intelligence Innovator of the Year. Brickman leads machine identity and agent security efforts and discusses Oasis Security's approach to non-human identities intent-based access and agent control. They explain why legacy identity and access management and privileged access management systems break down for autonomous agents and they outline Oasis Security's architecture for discovery ephemeral provisioning and policy enforcement. Key takeaways include treating agents differently adopting intent-based access models and making the access layer the focal point of defense. Brickman advocates enforcing just-in-time least-privilege permissions and using policy-driven gateways that interrogate agent intent. Dave Vellante of theCUBE and theCUBE team note that machine identities already vastly outnumber humans and that governance plus safe sandboxes enable rapid secure innovation. The conversation addresses implications for cloud security enterprise cybersecurity and governance as organizations scale agentic AI and autonomous systems.
