Identity, AI Agents, and the Session Token Time Bomb | Carey Frey (CSO, TELUS) on Cybersecurity Today In this Cybersecurity Today weekend edition, David Shipley interviews Carey Frey, Chief Security Officer at TELUS, about the evolution of identity security and why it's a growing risk in the age of generative and agentic AI. Frey recounts his career from Canada's Communications Security Establishment to leading TELUS's internal security and managed cybersecurity services, then explains how convenience-driven identity decisions led from PKI's unrealized promise to passwords, bearer/session tokens, and today's widespread session cookie theft. He describes lessons from TELUS's deployment of FIDO2 phishing-resistant tokens, the dangers of long-lived SSO tokens across SaaS ecosystems, and how agentic "auto-browse" could amplify harm via the "lethal trifecta" and ephemeral agents with poor auditability. Frey highlights the Syne/SignNet CISO Identity Handbook and calls for stronger cryptographic roots of trust, proof-based tokens, re-authentication across trust domains, and fine-grained delegation guardrails.

Discord Drops Persona Age Verification, SolarWinds Serv-U Critical RCEs, Splunk Windows Priv Esc, and Smart TV Screenshot Surveillance Lawsuits In this episode of Cybersecurity Today, host Jim Love covers Discord ending its age-verification experiment with Persona after user backlash and researcher findings that Persona's front-end code suggested up to 269 verification checks, including watch list screening and risk scoring, amid already-thin trust following an earlier breach that exposed government ID images. The show also highlights SolarWinds Serv-U 15.5.0.4 patches for four critical (CVSS 9.1) remote code execution vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-40538, CVE-2025-40539, CVE-2025-40540, CVE-2025-40541), noting they require high privileges and that self-hosted Windows/Linux instances must be upgraded, with estimates ranging from under 1,200 to over 12,000 internet-exposed servers. Splunk discloses a high-severity Windows privilege escalation flaw (CVE-2025-2386, CVSS 8.0) caused by incorrect install-directory permissions in versions before 10.0.0.2, 9.4.0.6, 9.3.0.8, and 9.2.10, enabling local users to potentially escalate privileges and tamper with logging. Finally, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sues Samsung, Sony, LG, Hisense, and TCL, alleging smart TVs use automated content recognition to capture screen content—potentially up to twice per second—and transmit it without meaningful consent, with implications for both home viewing and confidential business use; the episode emphasizes reviewing and disabling ACR settings and accounting for network-connected screens in security models.  Cybersecurity Today  would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast.

Jim Love discusses how rapid adoption of agentic AI is repeating the industry pattern of shipping technology without security, citing issues like vulnerabilities in Anthropic's MCP and insecure open-source agent tools. He interviews Ido Shlomo, co-founder and CTO of Token Security, who argues AI agents are fundamentally hard to secure because they are non-deterministic, have infinite input/output space, and often require broad permissions to be useful.  Cybersecurity Today  would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast. Meter delivers a complete networking stack, wired, wireless and cellular in one integrated solution that's built for performance and scale.  You can find them at Meter.com/cst Shlomo proposes focusing security on access, identity, attribution, least privilege, and auditability rather than trying to filter prompts and outputs, and describes Token's "intent-based permission management" approach that maps agents and sub-agents as non-human identities tied to their purpose and allowed actions. The conversation covers real-world risks such as developer tools like Claude Code running with extensive access, widespread over-provisioning of admin permissions and API keys, exposure of unencrypted local token files, and misconfigurations that leak data publicly. Shlomo recommends organizations build governance processes for agents—discovery/inventory, boundary setting, continuous monitoring, and secure decommissioning—and says AI is needed to help police AI. He also highlights emerging trends like agent teams and multi-day autonomous tasks, and notes Token Security is a top-10 finalist in the RSA Innovation Sandbox 2026, planning to present an intent-and-access-focused security model for AI agents. 00:00 Sponsor: Meter's integrated networking stack 00:19 Why agentic AI security is breaking (MCP & open-source chaos) 02:53 Meet Token Security: practical guardrails for AI agents 04:57 Why you can't just ban agents at work (shadow AI reality) 06:24 Tel Aviv's cybersecurity pipeline: gaming, military, and startups 08:57 Why AI/agents are fundamentally hard to secure (new OS + 'human spirit') 13:44 Trust, autonomy, and permissions: managing the blast radius 18:17 Real-world exposure: Claude Code and the developer identity attack surface 20:16 A workable approach: treat agents as untrusted processes with identity + least privilege 22:33 Zero Trust for Agents: Access ≠ Permission to Act 23:27 Token's "Intent-Based Permission Management" Explained 25:29 Building the Identity Map: Tracing What Agents Touch 26:52 The Secret Sauce: Using AI to Secure AI in Real Time 28:10 Real-World Case: 1,500 Agents and Wildly Over-Provisioned Access 30:57 CUA 'Computer-Use' Agents: Exciting, Personal… and Terrifying 34:44 Secure-by-Default & Sandboxing: Fixing 'Always Allow' Dark Patterns 35:36 What Security Teams Should Do Now: Inventory, Boundaries, Governance 37:59 What's Next: Agent Teams and Multi-Day Autonomous Work 40:10 Tony Stark Vision: Agents That Improve the Human Experience 41:02 RSA Innovation Sandbox: Token's Big Bet on Intent + Access 43:01 Wrap-Up, Audience Q&A, and Sponsor Message
