The access employees don’t need becomes a much bigger problem once AI is connected to the same systems.

Alicia Leone, Security Sales Specialist at TierPoint, says many organizations give people way more access than they need. If that AI is compromised, an attacker can easily reach information they never should have.

She thinks it’s time to take another look at zero trust projects that were put on hold. Limiting access and confirming people are who they say they are may mean more MFA prompts, and it leaves organizations better protected.

AI is changing how adversaries attack. Detection has to change with it.

Trevor Burnside, Senior Solutions Architect at eSentire, says MDR providers now need to detect new and novel attacks, going beyond pattern recognition with capabilities like threat hunting.

Amplix helps organizations find the right MDR partner for an evolving threat landscape. Let’s talk about what that could look like for you.

Your customers aren't answering the phone, and the reason isn't your sales team.

On the newest episode of The Amplitude of Tech, Lauren Brockman, Product Director at Bandwidth Inc., talks with host Shawn Cordner about how spoofed numbers and carrier analytics leave legitimate business calls unanswered, why branded calling and spam label removal are two separate problems, and how to measure the real cost in answer rates, labor, and fraud events.

AI confabulates, just like people do.

Confabulation is explaining a decision after the fact with the best answer you can come up with. Katie Rotella, a Principal UX Researcher at Microsoft who works on Copilot, sees AI do the same thing when it shows its reasoning. The model works in math, then translates that work into plain language so you can follow along. That’s one interpretation of what happened.

So the explanation deserves the same scrutiny as the answer. Both were written for you to read, and you bring your own take to each.

Many companies brought in AI expecting to save on staffing. For some, it’s costing about the same, if not more.

Jeremy Tam, Senior Implementation Engineer at Amplix, explains that every request you send to an AI tool costs money. A problem an experienced engineer could handle directly might take AI dozens of tries, and leaders are starting to notice the savings aren’t all that much.

AI tends to pay off most when it helps your people, with your experienced team still taking on the toughest problems.

If your organization is rolling out AI agents, here’s a question worth asking first: how many are already running? Few teams can answer it. That matters because agents don’t wait for instructions when they hit a dead end. They look for another way to finish the job, using whatever access they’ve been given, and an attacker can steer that with a single hidden instruction in an email or document.

Securing them starts with a pre-flight checklist, and its first control is the one most organizations skip.

Getting an AI agent ready for launch means getting it ready for your security team, too.

Brian Zimmer, Field CISO at CyberMaxx, runs every agent through a pre-flight checklist first. It makes sure someone owns the agent, its access is limited, its activity is logged, and there’s a tested way to shut it off.

That way, security can see what the agent is doing and step in if something goes wrong. As Zimmer puts it, “No owner, no log, no kill switch, no production.”

A company-owned phone can cost less than paying employees to use their own. On the latest episode of Inside Amplix, Peter DiNatale, VP of Mobility Solutions at Amplix, talks with host Shawn Cordner about why a sub-$30 all-in rate per line can beat a $75 to $100 monthly BYOD stipend, how security and compliance pressure in healthcare and finance is driving the shift, and why owning the phone number protects customer relationships when employees leave.

Hearing the same security training over and over doesn’t make anyone sharper. After a while, people stop listening.

Dustin Larmeir, Vice President of Information Security Engineering at TierPoint, says that when employees hear training too often, they tune it out. Tools that check email links before they reach an inbox help reduce the risk, but they don’t completely eliminate it.

Keeping an organization safe takes good training and good technology working together.
